NOVAK DJOKOVIC was given a surprise scare last night - by an unseeded wild card known as Dutch Tim. But the defending champion eventually showed his class against Wimbledon debutant Tim van Rijthoven to win 6-2 4-6 6-1 6-2. Centre Court rang out with cries of "Come on Tim" that hadn't been heard so often here since the days of Tim Henman as the locals took the little-known 25-year-old to heart. Van Rijthoven, whose career has been plagued by injury, is the first wild card to make it this far since 2015 and the world number 104 earned plenty of new fans with his plucky play. He broke six-time champion Djokovic's serve after an epic second-set rally on his way to levelling the match at one set apiece. But the top-seeded Serb roared back to win five games in a row on his way to clinching the third set, before squeezing over the line just before the 11pm curfew. The World No. 1 started effectively, bursting into a 3-0 lead in the first set before Van Rijthoven got his first … [Read more...] about Novak Djokovic overcomes plucky Centre Court test to reach Wimbledon quarter-finals

Novak Djokovic came from two sets down to defeat rising star Jannik Sinner 5-7 2-6 6-3 6-2 6-2 in a stunning win that saw the World No.1 clinch a place in the semi-finals of Wimbledon. The match presented a clash of two talents at very different stages of their career, as the quarter-final was Djokovic’s 53rd appearance at such a stage compared to Sinner’s third. However, the young Italian put in a performance that belied his years but he ultimately ran out of steam as the Serb battled back from two sets down. Heading into the match, Djokovic had won 25 successive matches on the hallowed grass of SW19 and to many fans it was a formality that the 35-year-old would defeat Sinner as he pursues a 21st Grand Slam title to close the gap on Rafael Nadal in the battle to have the most men's major singles titles in history. To the delight of thousands of fans packed into a raucous Centre Court , Sinner clearly hadn't read the script. Djokovic started perfectly, and led proceedings … [Read more...] about Novak Djokovic stages comeback to beat Jannik Sinner in five-set Wimbledon epic

M y reaction to O. J. Simpson’s arrest for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman was atypical. It was 1994 . I was a young black man attending a historically black university in the majority-black city of Washington, D.C., with zero sympathy for Simpson, zero understanding of the sympathy he elicited from my people, and zero appreciation for the defense team’s claim that Simpson had been targeted because he was black. O. J. Simpson wasn’t black. He came of age in the 1960s—the era of Muhammad Ali’s opposition to the Vietnam War and John Carlos and Tommie Smith’s black-power salute at the 1968 Olympics. But the O. J. Simpson I knew, and the one poignantly depicted this year in Ezra Edelman’s epic documentary, O.J.: Made in America , recognized only one struggle—the struggle to advance O. J. Simpson. When the activist Harry Edwards attempted to enlist Simpson in the Olympic boycott, Simpson rebuffed him and later claimed that organizers like … [Read more...] about What O. J. Simpson Means to Me

Corinthians have ruthlessly trolled Boca Juniors star Dario Benedetto after the striker missed two crucial penalties to send the Brazilian outfit through to the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals. The two sides locked horns once again in a feisty clash in Argentina after the first leg of the last 16 tie ended goalless in Brazil. Neither team were able to break the deadlock again - but Benedetto did have a golden chance to change that. The 32-year-old could have given Boca Juniors the lead from the spot in the first-half - but he failed to convert his penalty. And the Argentine ace had his head in his hands again when he missed another spot-kick in a tense shootout to decide the match.
