An estimated... Читать дальше...

Kyrgios proved his legion of doubters wrong by his barnstorming, controversy-laden run to the Wimbledon final in July where it took Novak Djokovic to stop him.

He lost opening partner Hazratullah Zazai, who was bowled on 13 by Dilshan Madushanka 13, but kept up the attack to raise his fifty in 22 balls. Ibrahim then... Читать дальше...

The 40-year-old 23-time Grand Slam champion bowed out of the US Open on Friday in what is widely expected to be the final singles tournament of her 27-year professional career. For Rick Macci, the Florida-based coaching guru who oversaw the development of Williams and sister Venus in the early 1990s, Williams leaves a legacy that will never be beaten. In the end, Serena fell just short of matching Margaret Court's all-time mark of 24 Grand Slam titles. But for Macci, the totality of his former protege's achievements... Читать дальше...

While a growing number of countries are dropping regulations for the Covid-19 pandemic, most regions in China are still imposing strict quarantine and testing policies, despite public complaints. In southern Guangdong province, the preventive measures are stringent, and a recent outage of the province’s Covid pass in the industrial city Shenzhen triggered further chaos.

The measures will place significant curbs on the ability of foreigners to study, volunteer or work in the West Bank, in a major blow to student exchange programmes operated by the European Union among others. In most cases foreigners will no longer... Читать дальше...

The Kennedy Space Center will be closed to the public, but spectators on local beaches will be able to see the most powerful vehicle that NASA has ever launched climb into the sky.
