Shane Lowry has a huge motive to succeed this year, especially when we know that perhaps the most popular golf competition, the Ryder Cup, is being played in September this year. During the interview for the Sky Sports Golf podcast, the experienced golfer emphasized the Majors and the Ryder Cup, but it seems that the…
The Indian Wells organizers are willing to go to great lengths to have Emma Raducanu compete in the paradise as the tournament if offering the 22-year-old five extra security guards. Last week, the Briton was brought to tears – looked very distressed – and hid under the chair umpire’s bench – just two games into…
Andrey Rublev revealed he felt “completely lost” during his darkest period and also admitted that he used to often wonder what was the purpose of this life. Exactly 12 months ago, the 27-year-old delivered a shocking outburst in Dubai, getting into the face of a line umpire and screaming over what he felt was a…
Marta Kostyuk declared Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer her biggest tennis inspiration as the Ukrainian tennis star used to regularly watch the two giants and tried to learn from them in the process.

Brian Campbell has won the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld, beating Aldrich Potgieter on the second playoff hole thanks to a lucky shot that, thanks to the rebound of the trees, allowed him to stay in the game and close with a decisive birdie.

After the ITIA conclusively said that the Italian bore no fault or negligence for two failed doping tests, the WADA still lodged an appeal into that…

Very early in her career, the Japanese became a multiple Slam winner after winning twice the US Open (2018 and 2020) and twice the Australian…
Andrey Rublev claimed his 17th ATP title in Doha last week, hoisting a trophy for the first time since the previous spring. The victory delivered a much-needed surge of momentum and confidence for the Russian. Yet, this Doha triumph has also edged him perilously close to an unwanted slice of tennis history! Rublev is desperate to…
Paul McNamee made an interesting point as the former Australian Open tournament director thinks Jannik Sinner’s team should have “negotiated some point” and at least accepted to miss the Rome Masters. When the news came out that the three-time Grand Slam champion settled with the WADA on a three-month doping ban which started on February…
Toni Nadal has come to Jannik Sinner’s defense as Rafael Nadal’s uncle pretty much thinks that it is nonsense to ban the Italian if no one is denying that he didn’t knowingly or intentionally take a banned substance. Earlier this month, a WADA spokesperson explained that the anti-doping agency wasn’t questioning the 23-year-old’s integrity or…
