For a melange of legends – from Rod Laver to Billie Jean King, Chris Evert and Venus Williams, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer – Centre Court was home again, even if only briefly before the start of play. Federer, the eight-time champion, who is scheduled to return to the Tour in the fall, said it was ‘awkward’ for him to be back in the cathedral of the sport, not as a player.
football team’s assistant coach Alex Ambrose for sexual misconduct involving a minor player. Ambrose, a former India striker from Mumbai, was with the women’s team since 2019. He was sent back home from a tour to Europe last week for misconduct and the CoA, running the All India Football Federation (AIFF), issued the sack orders late on Saturday night. “Alex Ambrose, Asstt Head Coach of Under 17 Women’s team has been sacked for sexual misconduct. Further action under process,” Dr SY Quraishi, former chief election commissioner of India and a key member of the CoA said in a tweet on Sunday.
The Hyderabad fast bowler took four wickets for 66 in the home side's first innings to emerge as India's most successful bowler. India is leading 2-1 in the series. A victory in the current match will ensure a series triumph.
The 20-year-old from Punjab signed a two-year deal with the Cypriot First Division champions Apollon, her former club Gokulam Kerala FC confirmed on Sunday. TOI had reported on June 15 that Manisha was close to concluding a deal that will see her play in the Mediterranean nation. The attacker had also attracted interest from Australia, the United States and other European clubs. Apollon who are based in Limassol, the capital of the island nation, were the winners of the 2020-21 Cypriot top division giving them a place in the qualifying rounds of the 2022-23 Women's Champions League.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach on Sunday said the organisation would ensure that Ukrainian athletes could compete at the 2024 Olympics despite the Russian invasion. Speaking during a visit to Kyiv to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Bach pledged to increase the amount of IOC funding for athletes from the war-torn nation.
Jonny Bairstow has been England’s most in-form batter this year. In fact, he is the leading run-getter in 2022 in Test cricket. Yet, the man who terrorised New Zealand, with two brutal hundreds, could hardly lay bat on ball as Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah put him through a trial by fire late on day two as he went back unbeaten on 12 off 47 balls to fight another day. He would have hoped that a brighter forecast with the sun out on day three at Edgbaston on Sunday, would have made life a lot easier. But he didn’t find any favours from both Bumrah and Shami. Shami was relentless with his line and cut Bairstow into half at least a dozen times. He also used the away-going delivery smartly to induce the false shot. He remained scoreless for 20 deliveries as all the talk of 'Bazball' went out of the window.
Novak Djokovic raised his level to put an end to the fairytale run of Dutch wildcard Tim van Rijthoven during a battling 6-2 4-6 6-1 6-2 victory on Sunday and keep his Wimbledon title defence on track. Chasing a fourth straight Wimbledon crown and seventh overall at the grasscourt major, Djokovic is now unbeaten on the manicured lawns of the All England Club since retiring due to an elbow injury against Tomas Berdych in the 2017 quarter-finals.
England, who had started proceedings at 84 for five, were bowled out for 284, giving India a sizeable lead of 132, despite a counter-attacking hundred for the ages by England’s man in form, Jonny Bairstow (106, 140 balls, 14x4, 2x6). Advantage India, many felt. But under skipper Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, this England team knows how to fight. They prized out the scalps of Shubman Gill and Hanuma Vihari and more importantly Virat Kohli, caught off a rebound in the slips by Joe Root off a beauty from Stokes that bounced and seamed off a length. It was the second change of ball out of three that did the trick for Stokes and England as Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara were looking totally untroubled and Kohli, with a couple of gorgeous cover drives, looked in the mood. The ball change seemed to help the bowlers get more bounce and movement that triggered Kohli’s fall.
