What makes a good clay-court player?
Jack Draper's recent run to the Madrid Open final, where he lost in three close sets to Casper Ruud, was the backbone of an impressive clay-court swing for the British number one. But the French Open has historically not been synonymous with British singles success. Andy Murray reached the 2016 final, but Sue Barker was Britain's last singles champion in the French capital back in 1976. Last year all six Britons who competed in the singles went out in the first round - the thir

Jerry Jones admits Trump anti-DEI message made NFL more 'aware' in wake of accelerator program pause
The NFL announced last year it will pause its coaching accelerator program. In the wake of that decision, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones admits recent Supreme Court rulings and rhetoric from President Donald Trump made an impact in that regard. Since 2022, the accelerator program has been held in conjunction with the NFL's spring meetings, and it serves as a chance for minority coaching talent to network with decision-makers. That won't happen this year, and in an i

The £100m final Man Utd cannot afford to lose?
"It's a crossroads moment." That is the verdict of former Manchester United first-team coach Rene Meulensteen on the club's Europa League final against Tottenham on Wednesday. Like all United fans, the Dutchman is coming to terms with a bitterly disappointing domestic campaign, and dreading the consequences of failure in Bilbao. "It would be a silver lining. A win in the Europa League isn't going to make up for the most disastrous season," Meulensteen told BBC Spo

England to bring in minimum fitness standards
England will introduce minimum fitness standards for their women's players next year, says head coach Charlotte Edwards. Former captain Edwards, who will take charge of her first match on Wednesday in a T20 against the West Indies, was appointed last month following this winter's 16-0 Ashes defeat. The team's fitness and athleticism was criticised during the tour and Edwards has said players will be made "accountable" on the issue. "The players are very aware ther

McIlroy and the 'non-conforming' driver controversy
Aside from the brilliance of Scottie Scheffler's imperious third major victory, the next-biggest talking point from the 107th US PGA was the controversy of Rory McIlroy's "non-conforming" driver. Rumours emerged early in the championship that the recently crowned Masters winner, who was continually struggling to find Quail Hollow's fairways, had been forced to switch drivers before the year's second major. Initially, there was speculation that the one he had used to suc

Why Female Footballers Suffer More Knee Injuries Than Men
Football is a physically demanding sport that’s mainly played on the forefoot, with knee bent, and with every muscle surrounding the knee working hard. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is the main knee stabilising ligament — and injuries to this part of the knee are serious. Studies suggest women are six times more likely to suffer ACL injuries compared to men, and 25% less likely to return after recovery, with ACL injuries causing 37 players to miss the Women’s World Cup l

Why Liverpool Play in Red, and Not Blue Anymore
The Birth of the Famous Liverpool FC Red Shirt Liverpool Football Club are famous for their all-red kits - but some fans may not realise the Reds were not originally the Reds. Liverpool didn’t don red for the first time until 1896 - and the all-red strip didn’t come into existence until February 1965, under legendary manager Bill Shankly. Liverpool’s first strip was far different from what fans see today on the Anfield pitch. It was a kit inspired by Everton, who played across
