The tennis player’s non-participation indicates that his application for a special exemption from US rules barring unvaccinated foreigners from entering the country until May 2023 has been rejected, although the United States Tennis Association and the US Open recently publicly expressed their support for allowing “one [of] the greatest champions of our sport” to participate at upcoming tournaments in the US despite his non-vaccination status. A few weeks ago, Đoković broke Steffi Graf’s record when he became the first tennis player ever to…

This represented Horne’s eighth win from eight starts on African soil. Being born in 2008, he has plenty of time to develop his advantage over his continental peers. Nathan Max…
Rob Key says he gets annoyed by the perception of Brendon McCullum’s England teams as being carefree, but admits it is “our own fault”. McCullum was appointed as head coach of the Test side in 2022 and transformed the team’s fortunes alongside captain Ben Stokes, instilling a positive and fearless brand of cricket.The former New Zealand batter took over the white-ball sides at the beginning of this year, but they have struggled – being beaten heavily in India and then losing all three matches at the recent Champions Trophy. During the India tour, England were accused of not training hard…

In is not often that the championships of college swimming prompt the president of World Athletics (WA), the world-governing body of track and field, to issue drastic statements. After Lia Thomas became the first transgender women to win a title at the highest US college level, Sebastian Coe warned that the “integrity” and even the “future of women’ sport” was at stake. “Gender cannot trump biology“, Coe said, implying that Thomas and other female transgender athletes had an unfair advantage over cisgender women.

Lange, riding for the ASAP World Team, had been in the second group on the road inside the final kilometre of the 109km race, but the jockeying for position in the front group allowed the chasers back into contention. This allowed…
