Wimbledon final a repeat of French Open epic as the world’s top two inspire memories of past battles between the greatsGreat sport is all about rivalry. In the 70s and 80s, tennis had Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert, who played against each other a whopping 80 times, 60 of them in finals.

8 d. ago The Spin | Dear cycling: a letter and a warning from cricket’s golden free

The last Tour de France on ITV is a stark reminder of the final terrestrial Test summerDear cycling, hello from 2005. It’s dusty back here, piles of unloved pagers, a cityscape of VHS towers and chest freezers packed with turkey twizzlers.It’s been a strange sort of summer – switchbacking in mood. On 6 July, London won the rights to hold the 2012 Olympics, a last-minute heist from under the Parisian nose; the next day terrorists murdered 57 people on the London transport network. The country was in a state of high alert, but the Australian cricket team, who had landed in early June, stayed to play in the Ashes.

Jack Draper, the new hope of British men’s tennis, was taught a grand slam lesson by the veteran Marin Cilic on Court One on Thursday and exits Wimbledon with fresh learnings to take on board in his burgeoning career.There has been distinct excitement at Draper’s prospects in SW19 this summer after his heady ascent up the ATP rankings and victory at Indian Wells in the spring. That this was only his fourth Wimbledon appearance and that none of his previous outings had gone beyond the second round was not given much credence. But perhaps a lack of experience told here, at least in how Draper managed the match, while the 36-year-old Cilic, a Wimbledon finalist in 2017, revelled in his own on-court Indian summer.
