Terengganu sign fiery French striker
The 29-year-old is fresh off a red-hot season with Racing FC Union Luxembourg, where he netted 22 goals in 29 appearances.
The 1.83m Mabella, who has signed a one-year deal with the Turtles, said: "I think my style of play is about intensity and energy. I bring a lot of speed, I make runs, I spin, I defend when needed."
Mabella, whose birthday is Feb 22, will wear the No. 11 jersey for Terengganu. "My birthday is on the 22nd, but that number isn't available, so I'll go with 11, two times 11 is 22," quipped Mabella who has also represented Congo, including in Africa Cup qualifiers.

Leclerc leads final British GP practice for Ferrari at Silverstone
FERRARI sent McLaren a reminder of their pace in final practice for the British Grand Prix on Saturday with Charles Leclerc fastest. The Monaco-born driver lapped the Silverstone circuit on an overcast, gusty and much cooler afternoon than Friday with a best time of one minute 25.498 seconds. McLaren's Formula One championship leader Oscar Piastri was second quickest, 0.068 seconds slower, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen third. The session was twice red flagged, once when Oliver Bearman's Haas shed some bodywork and in the final seconds when Gabriel Bortoleto spun on a kerb and bounced across the grass with the car's front left suspension smashed. The final stoppage put paid to anyone trying to improve on Leclerc's time, including Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton who ended up only 11th. Hamilton had been quicker than Leclerc in the first two sectors before aborting the final one after the red flags were waved as a result of Bearman's debris on track. McLaren's Lando Norris, 15 points adrift of Piastri after 11 of 24 rounds, was fourth fastest with Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda fifth. Bearman, who ended up sixth, crashed in a bizarre accident at the end while entering the pitlane -- smashing the nose and front wing when he hit the barriers and blaming cold brakes. Alex Albon was seventh for Williams, ahead of Mercedes' George Russell, Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar and teammate Liam Lawson completing the top 10. Aston Martin said neither of their drivers had managed to do a representative lap on the fastest soft tyre due to the red flags. Qualifying for Sunday's race, Hamilton's first at home in Ferrari colours, follows later in the afternoon. Seven-times world champion Hamilton, a record nine times British GP winner, won last year for Mercedes. - Reuters

Ivanisevic criticises Tsitsipas after Wimbledon first-round exit
GORAN IVANISEVIC gave a scathing assessment of Stefanos Tsitsipas, saying he has 'never seen a more unprepared player' in his life following the Greek world number 26's opening round exit at Wimbledon. Tsitsipas, the 2021 French Open and 2023 Australian Open runner-up, was forced to retire from his Wimbledon first-round match while trailing 6-3 6-2 to French qualifier Valentin Royer on Monday due to a back injury. The 26-year-old, who said he had no answers to his ongoing fitness problems after his elimination, appointed Croatian Ivanisevic as his coach in May after a string of disappointing results at the Grand Slams. Tsitsipas, a former world number three, has reached only one quarter-final in his last nine Grand Slam tournaments. 'It's simple and it's not simple. I've talked to him a lot of times. If he solves some things outside of tennis, then he has a chance and he'll return to where he belongs, because he's too good a player to be out of the top 10,' Ivanisevic told Serbian network Sport Klub after Tsitsipas' exit. 'He wants to but he doesn't do anything. All 'I want, I want', but I don't see that progress... I was shocked, I have never seen a more unprepared player in my life. With this knee, I am three times more fit than him. This is really bad.' Ivanisevic, who won Wimbledon as a player in 2001, helped Novak Djokovic claim nine of his 24 Grand Slam titles before leaving his team in March last year. He then had a short stint with Kazakh world number 11 Elena Rybakina this season. - Reuters
