French Open: Aryna Sabalenka looking forward to ‘Tequila, gummy bears and swimming’ in Mykonos after ‘worst final in my career’

French Open runner-up Aryna Sabalenka broke down in tears and apologised for what she labelled a “terrible final” after losing 6-7(5) 6-2 6-4 to American Coco Gauff on Saturday. World number one Sabalenka appeared to be in the driving seat after taking a 4-1 lead in the opening set, but made a staggering total of 70 unforced errors in the match. “This one hurts so much, especially after such a tough two weeks of playing great tennis and then in these terrible conditions to show such terrible tennis in the final,” the Belarusian said as she stifled her sobs. “Thank you my team for the support, I’m sorry for this terrible final. As always I will come back stronger,” the three-time Grand Slam champion said. “To Coco: you deserve it, you’re a hard worker, a fighter.” She added that Gauff was t...

The quartet of Gurindervir Singh, Animesh Kujur, Manikanta Hoblidhar, and Amlan Borgohain were the favourites from the start, and they didn’t disappoint, clocking the second-fastest time of the year as a team.

How Shardul Thakur and Nitish Reddy, contestants for one allrounder spot in Test XI, bowled against England Lions

Of the India A bowlers who bowled on day two against England Lions, Shardul Thakur and Nitish Kumar Reddy are the two who are in the Test squad and in contention for that one spot of an allrounder in the series against England. It does seem that Shardul is ahead in that race, and it’s perhaps worth viewing Day 2’s play through the prism of this pair’s performances. Both bowled just six overs apiece but there were a few interesting nuggets that caught the eye on a day where England Lions reached 192 for 3 in response to India A’s 348. Shardul might be the new-ball bowler for Mumbai, but it’s clear that he is pitching as the fourth bowling option in the upcoming Test series in England, and that’s how he has bowled in the two warm-up games. Here too, he first came on to bowl in the 13th over,...

Rahul slams EC’s ‘unsigned’ rebuttal of his Maharashtra poll rigging charge—’show voter rolls’

New Delhi: Not for the first time, Rahul Gandhi clashed with the Election Commission of India (ECI) Saturday over his allegation of “industrial scale-rigging” during the Maharashtra assembly elections. The ECI indirectly clapped back at the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, reiterating that his charges were “absurd”, on the same day. In a social media post, the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) retorted that responses to “serious questions” through “unsigned, evasive notes” were unbecoming for a constitutional body such as ECI. “Evasion won’t protect your credibility. Telling the truth will,” Rahul posted on X. Earlier in April this year, ECI sources termed similar claims made by Rahul in the United States—first, in his address before the Indian diaspora in Boston, and second, at Brown ...
