Please don't let Wimbledon become the next Cannes. I've been an avid tennis lover for more than 30years. Have literally shed tears of joy and pain over my favourites Sampras (a legit obsession at one time), Agassi, Nadal and now Alcaraz. Have scheduled watching matches between revising for school exams. Was fortunate enough to see the legend Martina Navratilova play in her last Wimbledon final amongst other epic matches before it was all about an insta post." She further added, 'But this year am suddenly seeing countless 'influencers", 'celebs" from India going there just to be seen. Am not denying that some genuinely love the game but many are there just to pose for social media. They have zero clue or interest in the game or those playing it. It's just Ughhh. Please let's not ruin one of the most beautiful tournaments in the world."

IND vs ENG: Former England captain lashes out at Ben Stokes' Bazballers- 'It's a members' club'
England's captain Ben Stokes gestures during the fifth day of the third cricket test match between England and India at Lord's cricket ground in London, Monday, July 14, 2025. (AP Photo/Richard Pelham) Former England captain Geoffrey Boycott has slammed Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum for their rigid approach in continuing with Zak Crawley , despite the opener's struggles. Boycott said he is amazed by the fact that the England cricket management is not looking for another opener. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "People ask me: 'Haven't we got another opener in county cricket?' I say: 'I don't think the hierarchy are looking.' It's a members' club and if you are in it… you can't get out," Boycott wrote in his column for The Telegraph. "Zak Crawley is a lucky lad because there is an old saying in cricket: 'Never change a winning team.' "I don't believe that, but some do, and because they won, England will be tempted to pick the same players. I believe in another saying: 'When you are winning, that is when you should try to improve your team.'" 'Pretty cooked': Ben Stokes after leading England to Epic Lord's triumph The 27-year-old has already played 57 Tests for England and is averaging 30.89. "How many more chances is Crawley going to get? He has learned nothing in his 57 Tests," he said. "A waft in the first innings, caught behind, and a front-foot drive in the second innings to a wide sucker ball, caught at gully. Poll Should England consider replacing Zak Crawley as opener? Yes, he needs to be replaced No, he deserves more chances Only if there are better options available Unsure about his performance "It was just a replay of too many of his dismissals. Time to go. Five hundreds and an average of 31 is not good enough." Boycott said the Australian troika of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood will be waiting for Crawley to play in the Ashes, and it is not a good sign for the England team. "Most opposition bowlers can't wait to get their sweaters off to bowl at him. Can you imagine what the Australian seamers are thinking about this winter's Ashes series? "If Starc doesn't get you, Hazlewood and Cummins will." Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

‘Must have hugged 7 or 8 guys!' Jimmy Connors says ‘return of serve' won Jannik Sinner Wimbledon and questions the size of entourage of Carlos Alcaraz
What was the reason for Jannik Sinner beating Carlos Alcaraz relatively comfortably in the Wimbledon final? The legendary Jimmy Connors believes it was because of Sinner's return of serves. 'It's interesting for me because everybody has put so much emphasis on the serve. This guy [Sinner] has a 140mph serve, and look at that, it's so hard. That's the biggest of all time,' said the former champion player in his podcast 'Advantage Connors'. 'But what wins you matches? That is what Sinner did yesterday. Returns. He returned the ball with authority and with purpose. Not just to get the ball in play and start the point off, as they stay in neutral. But he was looking to take advantage and to be aggressive. That is what you have to do in matches like that in the finals of Wimbledon or the US Ope or Australia, if you are going to beat the best,' he said. The website Tennisabstract confirmed Connors's observations. Sinner won 36% of his return points from the 121 serves he faced. He won a total of 44 points on returns. He was especially brutal on Alcaraz's second serve, winning 21 out of 50 second serves he faced. In comparison, Alcaraz won 31% of return points. Connors said that Sinner and his team have figured out what to do to win. 'He has figured it out, or whoever is with him has figured it out, that you are holding very comfortably, so let's put some pressure on the return or make them work hard,' said Connors. That pays dividends down the line. Maybe not right then, but at one set all and four all in the third, maybe so. It seems like he figured that out because he was very aggressive and not afraid to step in and take advantage of that second serve.' Connors also questioned the size of entourage of Alcaraz and modern-day tennis stars. 'I saw before they walked out on court, I think it was Alcaraz. He was getting ready to walk out on court and he must have hugged seven or eight guys,' he said in the podcast co-hosted by his son Brett. 'Your mum told me 'get out there and play and let's go home.'But they were hugging seven or eight guys in their camp. You have this guy and that guy, who is going to do this and that. To the point where I would have looked at that as a distraction. They look at that now differently. They look at that now that everybody is there for a reason and they have a purpose.'
