Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova were among a plethora of top players to make shocking exits at Wimbledon Championships yesterday with reasons varying from bad knees to bad form. We reckon Andy Murray and Serena Williams might have the biggest smiles on their faces.
Speaking of which, the Scotsman has been inspired by a Twitter follower to take on Serena Williams in a ‘battle of the sexes’ showdown in Las Vegas. This match would revive memories of the game between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King, which King won in straight sets.
Another exit was made in the motorsport world when Red Bull driver Mark Webber announced that he would be leaving F1 at the end of this season. He is joining Porsche’s new sportscar programme.
A team that won’t be making an exit any time soon is the Chevrolet Warriors cricket team. Their sponsorship agreement with Chevrolet South Africa has been renewed for three more years.
The Tour De France kicks off on Saturday and the organisers have left Lance Armstrong off the invite list to a function celebrating every man to ever finish the epic race – the final blow to his fall from grace.
Then we look at the Kenyan that inspired Chris Froome to the lofty heigths of world cycling. Inspirational stuff.
High five,
Ed
