Harris serves big to book Wimbledon second-round clash with Rublev
South African tennis ace Lloyd Harris had to rely heavily on his big serve as he booked his place in the second round at Wimbledon with a hard-fought 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-2), 6-7 (5-7), 6-2 victory over Belgium's Zizou Bergs in Monday's first round. The former world No 31, who is on the comeback trail after major injury setbacks, will renew his rivalry with Russia's Andrey Rublev in the second round of the prestigious grass-court Grand Slam on Wednesday. The two players last met in the first round of the French Open at Roland Garros in Paris last month, where Rublev beat Harris 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. On Monday, Wimbledon No 14 seed Rublev booked his place in the second round with a 6-0, 7-6 (7-5), 6-7 (9-11), 7-6 (8-6) win over Serbia's Laslo Djere. Harris and Rublev have met three times on the ATP Tour. Rublev has won all three matches, dropping only one set in the process. Their only previous meeting on Wimbledon grass resulted in a straight-sets victory for the Russian in 2021. That was the same year the tall South African reached the US Open semi-final, before his career was derailed by serious wrist and back injuries that required surgery. He only returned to action earlier this year with mixed results. However, Capetonian Harris will feel he has a chance to exact revenge for the defeat at Roland Garros, should his main weapon — his serve — fire as it did in the first round on the Wimbledon grass against the 50th seed. He has shown the ability to step up on the biggest stages, and will feel he is building momentum after reaching the main draw at back-to-back Grand Slams. The fact that he was able to grind out a win in searing conditions at the All England Club on Monday will also ease fitness concerns. Harris also reached the second round at Wimbledon last year, where he pushed rising US star Ben Shelton before losing in five sets. He is the only South African player in the main draw at Wimbledon. Four-time wheelchair tennis Grand Slam doubles winner Kgothatso Montjane and quads tennis player Donald Ramphadi will fly the South African flag in the Wimbledon wheelchair tennis tournament later this month.

Willemse relishes Loftus return as Springbok comeback nears
Springboks fullback Damian Willemse is back in the starting XV after a prolonged period on the sidelines due to injury and suspension. Photo: Timothy Barnard Independent Media Image: Timothy Barnard Independent Media Damian Willemse admits he is nervous ahead of his first match for the Springboks since the 2023 World Cup final, but as he returns to Loftus Versfeld, he carries the comforting memory of arguably his finest hour in a Bok jersey — at the same venue. It was in 2022, and a rusty South African side were on the verge of being upset by Wales. But when Willemse moved to flyhalf for Elton Jantjies in the second half, the game turned. With Handré Pollard-like composure, Willemse slotted the match-winning penalty. The Boks edged it 32-29. "That is a good memory," Willemse smiled. "It was a scary day for us at Loftus. We did well to come back in the second half." Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading The fullback enjoyed an excellent run across 2022 and 2023, but injuries derailed his momentum, and he has had little game time for the Stormers and none yet for the Boks this year. A recent suspension in the United Rugby Championship, shortly after recovering from a hand injury, added to his frustration. "I am very happy to be healthy and back in the Bok squad," Willemse told a press conference. "It has been a difficult two years — injuries and then, lately, the suspension. "I'm pleased to have another shot. I'm excited but a bit nervous. I have not played since the World Cup final. I need to get into the game and do my primary job at fullback. "I'm nervous, but the guys in the team and the coaching staff give me security," he added. "As soon as we sing the national anthem, I'll start feeling at home. I'll get my first touch and get into it. "You are playing for the national team, and that brings added pressure, but that's part of it, and you look forward to the challenge."

Peter Shalulile could be the missing piece in Kaizer Chiefs' rebuild
Could Shalulile make Chiefs great again? Namibian striker Peter Shalulile could be the perfect signing to reignite Kaizer Chiefs ahead of the new Betway Premiership season. Photo: Phill Magakoe/AFP Image: Phill Magakoe/AFP Peter Shalulile would be the perfect man to spearhead Kaizer Chiefs' push up the Betway Premiership table next season. The Namibian hitman is reported to have exited Mamelodi Sundowns when his contract expired at the end of June, and is now available to sign for any club he wishes. In recent season, Kaizer Chiefs have struggled for goals and are in desperate need of a goal machine that knows how to put the ball in the back of the net. A move to Chiefs will give the 31-year-old Shalulile a chance to continue his career at the highest level. His record in front of goal, and his impressive haul of trophies are a testament to his ability as a footballer. And because of his experience in winning everything under the South African sun, he would be perfect in guiding Chiefs' young players. Get your news on the go, click here to join the IOL News WhatsApp channel. Shalulile joined Sundowns in 2020 from Highlands Park, and went on to score over 100 goals in all competitions for the Tshwane giants Shalulile is the type of player who can instantly make Chiefs a better team. And as Nasreddine Nabi rebuilds the team so that they can start challenging for honours again, they should be doing everything they can to sign a player of his pedigree. At Chiefs, he can be the missing piece in the puzzle that gets the club firing on all cylinders again. If Chiefs are serious about getting the club back to where they belong, then a player of Shalulile's calibre is one they should be signing. A proven winner with a relentless work ethic, Shalulile would bring more than just goals to Naturena. He would also arrive with the mentality of a champion – something Kaizer Chiefs have sorely lacked in recent years. His presence in the dressing room could inspire a shift in mindset and allow the younger players to flourish. If the club truly wants to restore its legacy and reignite belief among its supporters, signing Peter Shalulile isn't just a good idea – it's a necessary one.
