15-Year-Old Tanvi Sharma Hopes To Emulate PV Sindhu's Aggression In Uber Cup

Groomed by a sports-loving mother, inspired by the peerless P V Sindhu and aspiring to be Indian badminton's aggressive new kid on the block. Tanvi Sharma is nothing like an average 15-year-old. Her claim to limited fame at this point is the fact that she is the youngest member of India's women's squad for this month's Thomas and Uber Cup in Chengdu, China. "I want to become like Sindhu didi, she is my inspiration. I watch all her matches. It was great to just be around her in Malaysia, she was very friendly," gushed Tanvi in a telephonic interview with PTI, recalling her experience of observing the double Olympic-medallist during the Badminton Asia Team Championships where she was part of the squad but did not play.

Edin Terzic's Borussia Dortmund 'Obliged' To Hit Back Against Atletico Madrid

Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic said on Monday his side had to give everything in Tuesday's home Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atletico Madrid after being "punished" in the first game. Dortmund trail 2-1 after last week's match in Madrid, where individual mistakes allowed Atletico to take a 2-0 lead after 30 minutes. The German club fought back as Sebastien Haller scored to bridge the deficit, although the striker will miss Tuesday's clash with injury.

Erling Haaland Out To Hush Critics As Manchester City Aim To Repeat Real Madrid Heroics

Manchester City are closing in on a second consecutive treble, yet Erling Haaland is still facing criticism as Real Madrid visit the Etihad on Wednesday aiming to exact revenge for their Champions League exit last season. The 14-time European champions were humbled 4-0 on their visit to Manchester 11 months ago at the semi-final stage as City went on to win the Champions League for the first time, along with the Premier League and FA Cup.
