Novak Djokovic news confirmed as surprise announcement leaves tennis fans saddened The World No.1 has confirmed his plans for the next few weeks, leaving tennis fans disappointed.

Jack Draper at Queen’s (Getty Images for LTA) He said: “If you want to be a top, top player in the world, you have to back up results week by week, day by day. You know you are in a great place and are one of the best in the world when you are able to do that. “Every day we are facing amazing tennis players who can beat you. If you are not quite on your game, for instance today, you lose the match. That is the next stage for me now. I want to try to go deep in…
PARIS — As Carlos Alcaraz began constructing his comeback in Sunday’s French Open final, a 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Alexander Zverev for a first championship at Roland Garros and third Grand Slam title in all, there arrived the sort of magical shot the kid is making a regular part of his varied repertoire. It was a running, then sliding, down-the-line, untouchable forehand passing winner that Alcaraz celebrated by thrusting his right index finger overhead in a “No. 1” sign, then throwing an uppercut while screaming, “Vamos!” No, he is not ranked No. 1 at the moment —…
PARIS (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz plans to continue his tradition of celebrating Grand Slam titles with tattoos by getting ink of the date he won his first French Open championship and a drawing of the Eiffel Tower. That art, to help remember Sunday’s 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 comeback against Alexander Zverev in the final at Roland Garros, will go near Alcaraz’s left ankle. His right ankle already bears the date of his 2023 Wimbledon triumph and an image of a strawberry; his left arm carries the date of his first major trophy, which arrived at the 2022 U.S. Open.…
The 2024 French Open is over – but the fallout continues. Yesterday Carlos Alcaraz got the better of Alexander Zverev in a five-set final. Reigning champion Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal blew the tournament wide open and allowed Alcaraz to clinch his first Roland Garros title. The Spaniard, 21, fought hard to beat Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals, coming back from a set down to knock the Italian out at the penultimate hurdle. And he was made to work for his third Grand Slam triumph too having lost the second and third sets. The Australian Open is now the only major tournament…

Arsenal enquire about Amadou Onana as £100m transfer claim emerges at Everton Bryan King believes Everton would accept £100million combined for Amadou Onana and Jarrad Branthwaite in the summer transfer window. The ex-Goodison scout feels that Onana would fit in well at a club such as Arsenal, who finished runners-up in the Premier League last season. It comes after the Liverpool Echo reported (14 June) that Mikel Arteta’s side have enquired about the midfielder, with the Toffees holding out for a fee of £50m. But King – speaking exclusively to Goodison News – claims that Everton are overpricing Onana, just…
The Toffees dig in their heels over £80m valuation as insiders tell Ineos: ‘Welcome to the Premier League, Jim Ratcliffe’ Everton are growing increasingly confident of keeping Manchester United target Jarrad Branthwaite. An opening offer of £35m up front with £8m of “attainable” add-ons was made for the England centre-back last week but was immediately deemed unacceptable by Everton, who value him closer to £80m. i understands there is an unwillingness at Old Trafford to raise that bid and Manchester United – who have to box clever to keep within the limits of Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) – have…
Everton face a pivotal summer transfer window and, whisper it quietly, the early signs are positive. That might sound like a bold claim, and I am all too aware there is a long way to go and those involved in the playing side of the club are, for a variety of reasons, at the mercy of events outside their control. But the opening week of the window – and just as importantly those before it – at least suggest a strategy in which those in charge are doing everything they can to, to coin one of Sean Dyche’s most common…
