The Australian stunned world number one Daniil Medvedev in the round of 16 and was seen as a favourite going into his quarter-final match against Karen Khachanov. But Kyrgios started the match without his usual aggression and repeatedly clutched at his left knee during points. The 27-year-old’s backhand was also weaker than usual as he struggled to play through some visible pain. After the two players held serve for much of the first set, Kyrgios was broken first when trailling 5-4 as he suffered an early setback....

Nielsen, 47, had been waiting for a plane for more than three months, ever since she discovered a small lump in her breast. In a risky midwinter polar flyover, an Air Force crew in July dropped biopsy equipment and a supply of chemotherapy drugs; she performed the biopsy on herself, made and photographed slide samples and e-mailed the results to doctors in the States. The exact diagnosis has not been made public, but a source at the National Science Foundation, which runs the polar station, said that after she completed one round of chemotherapy her doctors advised her to begin a second; on Sept....

The 25-year-old arrived from Ajax in 2020, having played a major part in helping the Dutch giants reach the Champions League semi-finals a year prior. But the transfer has so far been nothing short of a disaster, with the Dutch international scoring just twice in 52 appearances. Van de Beek has only made three substitute appearances under former boss Erik ten Hag and was shipped out on loan to Everton at the end of last season....

After helping his club lift the La Liga title and the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2021/22, Marcelo announced his exit from Real Madrid earlier this month. Since joining Los Blancos in 2007, the 34-year-old made 546 appearances for the club. Carlos, who spent 11 years in Madrid from 1996 to 2007, recently opened up about the comparisons between him and the departing defender on radio station Onda Cero....

India have persisted with Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja for the majority of their T20I series this year. With Chahal being rested and Yadav recovering from an injury, the selection committee roped in Ashwin for the five-match series against the West Indies. Opining that Bishnoi presents a stronger case than Ashwin for a spot in the playing XI, Parthiv Patel said on Cricbuzz: The former wicketkeeper added:...

Frank Lampard moved to Chelsea from West Ham United in the summer of 2001. And it was at Stamford Bridge that the Englishman turned into one of the best midfielders of his generation. He enjoyed tremendous success with the Blues before moving on for a brief stint with Manchester City. He joined MLS side New York City FC next before finally retiring in 2017. Frank Lampard entered football management with Derby County and finally returned to Chelsea in the summer of 2019 to take charge of the club...

As usual, my dad was right. We were very lucky to get to the ATM when we did. Ukrainians who lived through our country divorcing the Soviet Union in the 1990s remembered that cash is more useful in the wallet than in the bank, and I saw what would soon become emblematic of the war for me—long lines of people. My parents decided at the beginning of March that I needed to leave Ukraine as soon as possible, explaining their desire for me as their youngest child to finish college....

Shetty, who is one of the most respected actors in the movie industry is also a big fan and follower of cricket and was also the captain of the Mumbai Heroes cricket team in the Celebrity Cricket League. The 58-year-old actor joined Chopra in a quick segment where the former picked his ideal playing XI for the World T20 that is slated to be held in October this year....

The Chilean is not the first to endure a testing time, with others encountering similar problems this season. Pep: Bravo had more pressure at Barca Manchester United’s David de Gea was not held in the same regard as he is presently after stumbling his way through a tough few months following a big-money move to Old Trafford. Loris Karius is experiencing something similar at Liverpool, although Bravo has taken his fair share of criticism....

From about the age of 15, I started experimenting with drinking alcohol at local parks with friends. The first time I drank when I was out was at a local youth disco. We probably didn’t even drink that much and it wasn’t a late night, but we got very drunk and an on-site ambulance service had to tend to us. But you only remember the fun parts, so it went on from there....

One of the most remarkable transfers in Premier League history saw Ravanelli, something of a superstar at the time, trade Turin for Teesside in 1996. Just weeks before the £7million deal went through, Ravanelli won the Champions League with the Bianconeri, but the Middlesbrough switch turned sour when manager Robson’s team were relegated. Ravanelli spent just one full season in England, and Robson admits: “We had a couple of problems with him....

WEYMOUTH: What are your plans as president? DA SILVA: During our campaign we made a commitment. Although Brazil is a country with extraordinary potential, 50 million people live below the poverty line. Brazil is not a poor country, but a country with social inequities, and this is a major issue. The wealth has been concentrated in the hands of a few. So we have made a commitment to reach out to the poorest [sectors]....

The Welshman was struggling for game time at the Santiago Bernabeu outfit after they blocked a permanent transfer to China last season. Speaking about Gareth Bale’s transfer at a press conference, Mourinho said: Jose Mourinho happy to take Gareth Bale off Zinedine Zidane’s hands Gareth Bale made his return to the Premier League on a one-year loan deal from Real Madrid. The Welshman reportedly became the highest-paid player in the Premier League despite Los Blancos agreeing to pay half of his salary....

Klaassen scored 14 goals and registered nine assists in 33 Eredivisie appearances for Ajax last season, following on from 2015-16 where he netted 13 and created eight. Kane wants to be like Messi The 24-year-old, who moved to Goodison Park in a €27 million transfer on Thursday, is confident of continuing to make an impact in front of goal after moving to England. “I like to get in the box and I also like to be aggressive on the field and press all the time,” Klaassen said to evertontv ....

The former West Ham, Chelsea, Manchester City and New York City player is best remembered for his 13 years at Stamford Bridge, during which time he won 11 major honours. Lampard’s club-record tally of 211 goals helped Chelsea to three Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Europa League and six domestic cup triumphs. He won 106 caps for his country, and Thursday’s announcement prompted former team-mates and rivals alike to pay tribute - with Liverpool’s Jamie Carragher even having a few nice words to say about his old adversary....

However, former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder and talkSPORT pundit Jamie O’Hara did not think Gallagher was solely responsible for his sending off. The way he saw it, Chelsea summer signing Marc Cucurella was partly guilty of getting his teammate sent off. O’Hara wrote on Twitter: The manner of the two yellow cards was quite similar as the midfielder tried to stop the counter-attack on both occasions. He first entered the referee’s books in the 22nd minute when he pulled back Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from progressing with the ball....

“If he beats my record I would actually bow down to him,” Rush was quoted as saying by Gulf Times. “To score four goals in a final would be an incredible achievement. Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez were amazing in their first seasons at Liverpool. But I have to say Salah’s been even better than them, not only his goals and assists but his all-round game. What I like about him is that he’s such a humble guy — if someone’s in a better position he passes the ball....

In fact, the 28-year-old midfielder says he is so supportive of the man who brought him to Catalunya that he would throw himself off a bridge if asked to do so. For now, Rakitic’s sole aim is trying to convince his manager that he is deserving of a regular spot in his starting XI. ‘Messi and Ronaldo are both beasts’ He has been favoured since the winter break, but endured a tough period during December when he was dropped for three games on the back of being hauled off in a Clasico draw with Real Madrid....

I haven’t met her but three months ago her boyfriend Sam Asghari and I connected on Instagram. I guess you could say fate brought us together. He was looking for somebody to create an engagement ring that was worthy of Britney’s finger. We chatted and hit it off. He was super easy to work with and very chilled. I’m the same way so we just connected. With all of our clients, we try to understand a bit more about them, what they’re trying to create and what their love story is about....

Despite the fact that I lived next door to the hospital, he insisted that they send an ambulance for me. And so I came to be sitting in that ER, when an Australian doctor on a trip to London said he could smell something—something he had smelt before in Australia: the unique and terrible smell of rotting flesh. I must have passed out as the next thing I remember is coming round in an ER room, where just one nurse was sitting in a chair, real close to me....
