The multitude of lovely messages that Rafa Nadal is receiving after revealing his decision to retire at the end of the year is immeasurable. Jannik Sinner is one of those who wanted to share kind words with the Spaniard and thank him for everything he has done for the sport. “Thank you Rafa for all you have contributed to the sport. Having had the opportunity to spend a few weeks training with you years ago is something I will never forget.

Bukayo Saka will be assessed after picking up a leg injury during England’s 2-1 defeat to Greece at Wembley, Lee Carsley revealed. On a chastening night for interim boss Carsley, the Three Lions slumped to their first-ever defeat against Greece after Vangelis Pavlidis’ injury-time winner. It capped off a disastrous evening for England that also saw Saka limp off while appearing to hold his hamstring midway through the second half. The Arsenal winger was replaced by Noni Madueke and Carsley said that the 23-year-old will now undergo tests to discover the severity of the knock. ‘He’s being assessed,’ Carsley said…
Jurgen Klopp believed he had found Liverpool’s answer to their right-back issues when he signed talented defender Calvin Ramsay two years ago. But, if anything, the youngster’s situation may hand the club an unwanted dilemma rather than a solution in the coming months. Ramsay, a £4.2million buy from Aberdeen in the summer of 2022, was billed as the ideal heir to Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the England star paving the way towards a different role in midfield. The young Scot, who was 18 at the time, had thrived in the Scottish Premiership and registered nine assists in 39 appearances. He was…
The Friedkin Group’s takeover of Everton is currently going through after they reached an agreement to buy Farhad Moshiri’s majority 94% stake in the Toffees. Owner and CEO of the company, Dan Friedkin, is said to be interested in appointing superstar manager Mourinho, who has managed the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United. But former Everton player and coach Alan Stubbs doubts that would be a ‘good move’ for the Toffees and says Mourinho has grown ‘bitter and dour’ in recent years. Mourinho’s spells in charge of Man United and Tottenham both ended badly and Stubbs believes the…
Football pundits Ian Wright and Roy Keane have criticised Liverpool for failing to agree a new contract with Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool right-back has entered the final year of his contract at the club and along with Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk, he can leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season. The Reds star has been linked with an exit from the club with Real Madrid keeping a close eye on him. Wright and Keane have slammed Liverpool for how they have dealt with the contract situation of Alexander-Arnold. Wright told ITV, as…
The wolf wants to keep howling, and it has sharp fangs. Novak Djokovic secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024 after defeating Roman Safiullin 6-3 6-2, who found himself without arguments to face the Serbian, who was tremendously inspired. There were doubts about the level of play and attitude with which Novak Djokovic would present himself at this ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024, but the Serbian has dispelled them all with his first three matches. He knew how to turn things around in his debut in China, shining in the following two games that…
Speaking on ITV ahead of England’s clash on Wednesday against Greece, pundits Roy Keane and Ian Wright both cast an ominous cloud over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future with Liverpool. Alexander-Anrnold earned his 32nd cap for the England national team in a backline alongside John Stones, Levi Colwill, and Rico Lewis. The 26-year-old Liverpool vice-captain is out of a contract this summer as rumors continue to link the influential right-back with a move to Real Madrid. Reports intensified as Madrid’s longtime right-back Dani Carvajal, 32, tore his ACL in his most recent outing against Villarreal. Instead of turning to internal options like…
It doesn’t happen often, but Roy Keane was pretty much left lost for words at England’s defending in their 2-1 defeat to Greece on Thursday. The Three Lions fell to a dismal loss that puts their hopes of promotion back into League A in serious jeopardy, with a Vangelis Pavlidis brace either side of Jude Bellingham’s equaliser giving the Greeks a deserved first-ever win at Wembley. Interim boss Lee Carsley fielded an experimental starting line-up in the absence of injured captain and record goalscorer Harry Kane. Instead of starting either Ollie Watkins or Dominic Solanke, Carlsey instead opted to load…

Undoubtedly, the biggest success story for Liverpool so far in Arne Slot’s tenure at Anfield has been Ryan Gravenberch. A bit-part player under Jurgen Klopp, everything has changed for the Dutchman since: he is now one of the first names on the teamsheet. For the Reds, though, it won’t have come as a complete surprise. Sky Sports’ Melissa Reddy reported last year that before Gravenberch moved to Bayern Munich, he was on a three-man shortlist of options Liverpool had drawn up as potential midfield “game-changers”. The other two were now-Real Madrid duo Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni. And those lofty…
