The first Grand Slam of the year gets underway in a few hours' time at Melbourne Park. First up is Kyle Edmund v 15th seed Jannik Sinner. Personally can't see Edmund winning that one. A bit later on Jack Draper faces an even bigger test v defending champion Rafael Nadal. Around the same...
On BT sport if anyone is interested. Scott Mitchell v Peter Manley at the moment which must be the slowest (and heaviest) game of darts I've ever seen.
Great start to the tournament. Chizzy wins 6-5 with a 161 checkout.
No particular order here, because you can’t compare between sports obviously. Maradona, Tiger, Senna, O’Sullivan, Babe Ruth. Discuss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I just don’t get it. I’ve been watching it all night tonight and it’s a dreadful spectacle. So many people I know absolutely love it but I’m not seeing what they are. Most of the time it’s grappling on the deck.
I can actually as a young lad at the time remember watching this and feeling so nervous and always thought it was a great sporting moment. Hope you enjoy a trip down memory lane 👍. https://youtu.be/DDNpyNHrmjk
Great comeback from RvB v Humpheries.
Potentially tricky first tie for Gary Anderson, last on tonight v Adrian Lewis.
LIV Golf seems to be gaining momentum and it seems it is here to stay. Every other day we hear about possible defectors from the PGA and DP tours. If they already have the requisite 48 players/12 teams of 4, playing 54 holes, how will the original format be maintained? They won’t stop trying to...
My favourite two weeks of the year is almost here and after last year's tournament was cancelled due to the pandemic I'm looking forward to it more than ever. The draw was made today and Andy Murray, who has received a wildcard, plays 24th seed Nikoloz Basilashvili in round one. Murray is...
Earl Strickland continues to be a right fud!
What a fight that was. Karate v Kung Fu. Well worth watching.
Put this in the Holy ground thread as well. RIP to a rugby legend and an absolute gentleman. Battled right to the end and has done so much for MND awareness.
Having critisised other countries for making playing too restrictive, Djokovic organised his own tournament and has ended up with the virus along with three others who took part. :rolleyes:
Fallon Sherrock hits a 170 check out to beat Clemens 5-3 and qualify for the next round. She is incredible....what is she going to do next?!??
Great first 1/4 final so far Wright 4-1 after the first mini session v Van Den Bergh, 5-5 after mini session 2.
Looking to start taking the kids back as they enjoyed it precovid. Has anyone been back since they switched from the racers and has much been done in way of development to the ice rink?
Good start this afternoon for Team Europe v Team World as Casper Ruud beats Jack Sock and Stefanos Tsitsipas beats Diego Schwartzman to put Europe 2-0 up. Things looked good v Andy Murray v Alex De Minaur as he won the first set but De Minaur took the second set to force a championship tiebreak....
Finally forced to call it a day: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/62911876 Greatest of them all IMHO.

In the run up to the US Open it looks like we'll be spared the drama that we had earlier this year with regards to Novak Djokovic's participation at the Australian Open He has announced that he cannot travel to the USA due to being unvaccinated and therefore won't be taking part in the...
I think this might be just the start of sport being cancelled.
One of my favourite two weeks of the year is almost here and the excitement is building after the draw has now been made. Despite the controversy surrounding this year's tournament before a ball has been served, due to the All England Club's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players from...
Brilliant Glory Kickboxing card earlier, and the chat about Boxing had me wondering if there's anyone in here with a shared passion for other combat sports such as these two? Admittedly im a bit of a geek and watch most events I can, its cracking entertainment.
Is this nonsense or the future of humanity? I’m very pessimistic for the future of our species. The climate crisis and the current obviously supported rise of extreme right politics robs me of any optimism. Capitalism, in its current unfettered form, is utterly destroying us. The mega-rich are...
Eve Muirhead retires, some career she's had and will be a huge miss, she certainly goes out on a high and still only 32 Eve Muirhead retires from curling as Olympic, European and world mixed doubles champion - BBC Sport
Seeing footage of the new stadium it says there’s now a 499 person stand that is effectively a few rows of seats where the old main stand used to be. Does anyone know if there are any plans to put more seating in? Or are we no longer going to be able to host major athletics events any more? ...
Andy Murray just starting against Stefanos Tsitsipas. Not expecting too much here, if Murray wins a set he'll be doing well. Dan Evans has just beaten Thiago Monteiro in 4 sets. Murray is live on Amazon Prime for anyone who is interested.
Runs this year from Sunday 10th July till Sunday 17th , Any idea why it's on for a week when all other majors run form the Thursday to Sunday lasting 4 days ?
England 6-2, Roy and Root out without scoring.
When England get it wrong they get it wrong big time, 84-5 after India scored 416 in their first innings.
NZ 2-2 at the start of the first test match. Both caught by Bairstow and bowled by Anderson.
Had a bit of a nightmare today. Is he on the decline or can he regain his spot as the world's best golfer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/45991575 He has undoubted talent, but doesn't seem capable of doing it consistently well for fourth successive tournament rounds. I hope he can but...
England 1-1 at the start of match 1, Jason Roy bowled by his cousin!
Were Wade and Smith really that overjoyed whenever they won a leg v Czech Republic? Gerwyn Price would even be embarrassed with that. 😲
Surprised SDG hasn’t started a thread yet :greengrin Early days with the big matches to come in the men’s singles. I remember last year at Wimbledon saying I enjoyed the woman’s game more as they were more competitive. Scratch that, Iga Switek is on a 29 match winning streak and looks...
Anyone else enjoy Aussie rules; perhaps some Hibees who now live out there? I'm not into American sports, such as NFL and baseball, but I've really gotten into Aussie rules in the past couple of seasons and have adopted St Kilda (perennial underachievers with one title in their history) as my team...
Passed away at 86. Phenomenal jockey.
Will Zalatoris has been highly impressive so far, looks like he could be the man to beat. I reckon Justin Thomas will be his main challenger as he had the worst of the weather but still got round in 6 under Bob MacIntyre makes the cut again. 9 from 9 in majors. 👏
Andy Murray in action right now vs Denis Shapovalov. Great start from Murray 5-1 in the first set. Live on Amazon Prime for anyone who is interested.
