Sinner beats Shelton to reach Wimbledon semis despite elbow injury

Jannik Sinner sure didn't play like someone dealing with an injured right elbow Wednesday, using terrific serving and his usual booming forehand to dismiss 10th-seeded Ben Shelton 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 and earn a second appearance in the Wimbledon semifinals. The No. 1-ranked Sinner wore a white sleeve on his right arm with strips of tape visible underneath one above the elbow, one below it two days after he was hurt when he slipped and fell in the opening game of his fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov. Sinner said he felt pain when he hit serves or forehands in that contest, and he dropped the first two sets before moving into the quarterfinals when Dimitrov quit in the third set because he tore a chest muscle. Sinner, a three-time Grand Slam champion and the runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open last month, had an MRI exam on Tuesday and initially canceled a practice session that day but did hit some balls in a light session at an indoor court later.

Tennis players handle pressure that's comparable to IND-PAK games: Kohli

Drawing parallels between on-field pressure situations in two vastly different games, former India captain Virat Kohli says what tennis players endure week after week can only be compared to the less frequent "intimidation and pressure" that an Indian cricketer faces in World Cup knockouts and clashes against arch foes Pakistan. Kohli, who has retired from T20 Internationals and Tests, made the comparison after witnessing Wimbledon action with actor wife Anushka Sharma here on Monday. He was in conversation with tennis legend Vijay Amritraj during the day's proceedings. "I think the experience (in pressure situations) can be similar. But the intimidation factor and the pressure that would replicate for us in a World Cup game, a World Cup match between India and Pakistan or a semifinal or a final of the World Cup, your legs are shivering because of sheer pressure," Kohli said during the interview telecast on 'Star Sports'. "But these players might be facing that from the quarterfinal

Wimbledon error call sparks controversy as electronic line system was off

A ball that clearly landed long in a match at Centre Court wasn't called out Sunday because the electronic system that replaced line judges at Wimbledon this year was shut off. And, because the replay review procedure that used to be in place also has been scrapped, the chair umpire called for a do-over on the point at 4-all in the first set much to the dismay of Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the player who would have won the game if the proper call had been made originally. Pavlyuchenkova wound up getting broken there to trail Sonay Kartal of Britain, but she eventually did manage to come back to win the match 7-6 (3), 6-4 and reach the quarterfinals at the All England Club for the first time since 2016. You took the game away from me, 2021 French Open runner-up Pavlyuchenkova told chair umpire Nico Helwerth at the changeover after the game ended. Pavlyuchenkova, who is Russian, also said in the moment that the decision-making there went in Kartal's favor because she is a local ...
