It was a valid point and yet the comment could not fail to draw attention to Raducanu’s own situation. Three years have elapsed since her coming of age at this very event: an unprecedented triumph which, for all its apparently limitless promise, remains a black swan. So is Raducanu in danger of becoming “old news” too? Well, her social-media following – 2.6 million on Instagram, five times as large as Olympic 800 metres champion Keely Hodgkinson can muster – confirms that Raducanu need never fear obscurity. Increasingly, though, she is being filed alongside the likes of Bianca Andreescu, Jelena Ostapenko…
Speaking after his third round win, the World No. 1 analysed Alcaraz and Djokovic’s exits, and also spoke on his objectives. With Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic out of the ongoing US Open, the spotlight will be on Jannik Sinner in the fourth round. The Italian is the title contender right now, and defeated Aussie Christopher O’Connell in the third round, winning 6-1 6-4 6-2. “The first goal is to reach the second week and then constantly raise the level. The opponents are getting tougher and tougher and each of them deserves to be there. We have seen many matches…
Neither Jarrad Branthwaite nor Nathan Patterson appear likely to be available for Everton’s trip to Aston Villa. The Blues have a fortnight to reset after defeat to Bournemouth consigned the club to a third Premier League loss. One of the priorities of the international break will be to support a host of key players as they attempt to regain full fitness or return to availability. The likes of Seamus Coleman, James Tarkowski, Idrissa Gueye and James Garner have suffered issues over recent weeks, though all but Garner started on Saturday. While their conditions are expected to strengthen, some of the…
Everton captain Seamus Coleman says he and his team-mates have to “look at ourselves in the mirror” after they capitulated in remarkable fashion to lose 3-2 to Bournemouth. Goals from Michael Keane and Dominic Calvert-Lewin gave the Blues a 2-0 advantage heading into the 87th minute. However, Antoine Semenyo’s goal prompted a defensive collapse from the hosts, with Lewis Cook and Luis Sinisterra scoring further goals for the visitors in stoppage time at a stunned Goodison Park. “We really let ourselves down in front of our fans,” said Coleman. “We cannot take our foot off the gas at this level.…
Even with Liverpool flourishing in the early weeks of Arne Slot’s reign at Anfield, Alisson Becker has made it clear that the squad hasn’t forgotten about Jurgen Klopp’s contribution to the club. The legendary German left enormous shoes to fill after eight-and-a-half glorious years in which he delivered numerous major trophies and so many era-defining memories which’ll still be recalled for decades to come. Speaking to Sky Sports after the win over Manchester United on Sunday, the goalkeeper was full of praise for the new man in charge but also professed his eternal affection for the Dutchman’s predecessor. When the…
Earlier this Sunday (September 1), the Merseyside outfit eased past Manchester United as they won 3-0 at Old Trafford. Luis Diaz scored a first half brace and Mohamed Salah netted his side’s third goal. During a post-match chat on the Premier League Productions, Owen was asked to share his thoughts on the Premier League title race this season. He responded (h/t Metro): “If you ask [Manchester City manager] Pep Guardiola who his biggest danger is it would be a toss-up between Arsenal and Liverpool. At the start of the season, he might have said Arsenal because you know what you…
Liverpool under Arne Slot have been off to a perfect start in the Premier League. The Dutch coach has led his side to three consecutive victories in the English top flight without conceding a single goal so far, which is quite incredible. What they did to Manchester United last night was out of the world. Arne Slot’s Liverpool aren’t as fun to watch as Jurgen Klopp’s but what they are is clinical. They pick and choose their moments to make sure they make their opposition feel the effect. Speaking after the game against the Red Devils, manager Arne Slot highlighted…
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has sent a message to Trent Alexander-Arnold after he paid homage to his iconic Old Trafford celebration. The Reds full-back thought he opened the scoring after six minutes and wheeled off to the camera, kissing the lens to re-enact the memorable moments from previous clashes with Manchester United. VAR would chalk off the strike after Mohamed Salah was adjudged to have interfered with play after straying offside in the build-up to Luis Diaz’s cut-back. It didn’t have too much bearing on the final result as Arne Slot’s side cruised to a comprehensive 3-0 win over…
Arne Slot expertly broke down Manchester United’s tactics live on Sky Sports after Liverpool’s comfortable win. On Sunday afternoon, Slot faced his first tough test of his Liverpool career as he took his team to Old Trafford to take on fierce rivals United. The Dutchman passed with flying colours as his team produced a dominant display to win 3-0 thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah. Liverpool are the only team yet to concede a goal in the Premier League as they sit joint top in the table alongside champions Manchester City. After the match, during his interview…
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been left with egg on his face after his side were embarrassed by Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday. The Dutchman had claimed before the campaign got underway that his side can “beat everyone” when everyone is fit. United are still missing a few key players but were able to call upon three summer signings in their starting line-up in Manchester, alongside superstars such as Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. And they could struggle to put out too much of a stronger side this season. But they were second best from start to…
