CNN — There was once a time when American men dominated the tennis world at Wimbledon. The likes of Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Stan Smith and Arthur Ashe saw widespread success in the 70s and 80s, before Pete Sampras simply dominated the 90s at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. When Sampras won his final Wimbledon title in 2000, the realistic expectation was that it wouldn’t be too long before another American man replicated the achievement. In reality, though, it would be the last title for a very long time. It is now 25 years and counting since an American…
Los Angeles AP — Jake Paul has entered the World Boxing Association’s cruiserweight rankings, making the YouTuber-turned-boxer eligible to fight for a world title. The WBA slotted Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) at No. 14 in the latest edition of its rankings late Monday night, two days after Paul beat 39-year-old Julio César Chávez Jr. by unanimous decision in Anaheim, California. The WBA’s decision to rank Paul likely means the sanctioning body would allow him to fight WBA cruiserweight champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez, who won his latest title defense in the penultimate bout in Anaheim. The fighters have not agreed to…
MLC 2025 For the third successive game, Hetmyer was named player of the match. © MLC Three wins. All through Shimron Hetmyer. The West Indian played batting protagonist for Seattle Orcas once again as they downed table-toppers San Francisco Unicorns to solidify their playoff chances. In an eerie coincidence, Hetmyer was once again left to do the heavy-lifting in chase and responded well as his unbeaten 78 off 37 balls – laced with four fours and seven sixes – powered his team past the finish line in the 20th over. This result doesn’t bode well for the bottom-two sides -…
His teammates suggest he gives them nothing when batting together but for Alex Carey there’s a method to his intensity that sees him rarely exchange more than a few words in a partnership. Amid a golden run that began with what remains his “favourite Test innings” to get Australia home in Christchurch in March 2024, Carey has found a clarity on how he wants to approach his batting that has seen him reach new heights over the past 12 months.Having entered that Test in Christchurch averaging less than 30 and his position as Test wicketkeeper somewhat under pressure, the left-hander’s…
MLC 2025 Can TSK end Washington Freedom’s six-game winning run? © Sportzpics A massive game awaits Texas Super Kings against Washington Freedom. A win will firmly put them as one of the favourites to finish inside the coveted top two spot. That’s a spot all three qualified teams are eyeing right now in order to have that insurance policy to enter the final. However, a loss for TSK will most likely force them to be content finishing third and that would mean no second chances in the knockouts. What would give them extra motivation is San Francisco Unicorns’ second successive…
