British No 1 faces big-serving Elena Rybakina in US Open third round while Cameron Norrie takes on Novak DjokovicAt the start of a new season in January 2022, Emma Raducanu began her second full year on the WTA tour swimming in doubt. Not only was she trying to take steps forward after a life-changing summer, her off-season had been ravaged by contracting Covid-19, which forced her off the court for weeks in December. In her first match of the season, she found herself up against Elena Rybakina in Sydney. She left the court with just one game to her name, losing 6-0, 6-1.That first encounter between Raducanu and Rybakina was a good representation of the difficulties Raducanu has had to navigate over the past few years: the pressure from her sudden rise, her underpowered game against the best players in the world and the fact that there was always another physical issue around the corner.

2 w. ago Chiesa and Salah’s late show earns Liverpool dramatic win against Bournemouth

The opening night of the new Premier League season contained tearful tributes, high drama, allegations of racist abuse and another reminder that, when it comes to indefatigable spirit and the will-to-win, Liverpool have few rivals.Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, who reported being racially abused by a Liverpool fan during the first half at Anfield, appeared to have delivered a point for Andoni Iraoli’s side when hauling the visitors back from two goals down. An 88th minute volley from Liverpool substitute Federico Chiesa, however, plus a stoppage time strike from Mohamed Salah conjured a rescue act for Arne Slot’s champions. Salah was in tears after the final whistle as he stood in front of the Kop and absorbed a tribute to Diogo Jota. Continue reading...
