Seven-times major champion Mats Wilander said he had never seen anything like the combustible atmosphere during the Wimbledon clash between Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas and joined calls for umpires to be stricter about players` misbehaviour.

Australian maverick Kyrgios knocked out fourth-seeded Greek Tsitsipas in a ill-tempered but high-quality third-round Court One slugfest on Saturday which often threatened to spiral out of control. Kyrgios was warned for swearing and had a running dialogue with the umpire while Tsitsipas lost his composure and tried to hit his opponent with a smash after coming close to being defaulted for hitting a ball in frustration into the crowd.

"Is it entertaining? Yes. Is it respectful? No," Wilander told Eurosport. "Is the tennis great at times? Unbelievable, because both players are such good players. And Kyrgios is so talented. "I`ve never seen anything like it. I`m not sure I want to see something like that, again, to be honest, because I don`t think this is what we want to promote in tennis. We want to not promote it as entertainment.

"We want to promote it as inspirational, educational, but this is what people maybe want to see. I`m not sure I`m a big fan of what`s going on to be honest." In April, men`s governing body ATP warned players in an internal note that officials had been directed to take a stricter stance against on-court misconduct while its code of conduct for such violations will also be reviewed.

The 27-year-old Kyrgios has received multiple hefty fines this year and in the past and got a $10,000 one for spitting in the direction of a spectator during his match against British wildcard Paul Jubb. 
A $4,000 fine for Saturday`s abuse was added to Kyrgios`s tally while organisers said on Sunday that Tsitsipas had been fined $10,000 for slamming the tennis ball in anger.

Tsitsipas labelled Kyrgios a "bully" with "an evil side" to his character after their meeting, while the Australian responded by calling the allegations "soft" and adding that the Greek had "serious issues". 
Former French open runner-up Alex Corretja earlier told Eurosport: "The chair umpires need to be stricter. There should be respect between players and (the) chair umpire.

"The umpire needs to say: `I am the boss and you can`t just do and say whatever you like`. We love the match; we love the entertainment but we need to respect also a little bit the conditions."

Seven-times major champion Mats Wilander slams toxic atmosphere in Nick Kyrgios- Stefanos Tsitsipas tie

Chinese driver Guanyu Zhou said Formula One`s halo head protection system had saved him after his crushed car was wedged sideways between a tyre wall and metal fence at the British Grand Prix on Sunday. 
The race was halted after the multi-car opening-lap collision. "I`m OK, all clear," Zhou said on Twitter after a trip to the medical centre. "Halo saved me today. Thanks everyone for your kind messages."

The titanium halo was introduced by Formula One in 2018, initially to some resistance from drivers who disliked the look of the protective ring around what had previously been a completely open cockpit. It has since been credited with saving a number of lives in serious incidents.

Emergency crews were quickly on the scene to extract the rookie, whose car skidded upside down along the track at speed before bouncing across gravel and flipping over the impact-absorbing tyre wall. 
Photographs showed it crumpled on its side, leaning at an angle in the space between the fence and barrier with the halo protecting the driver`s helmet.

It was the second time on Sunday that the halo had saved a driver from serious injury, and probably worse. 
Roy Nissany was protected by it when Norwegian Dennis Hauger`s car flew and landed on the Israeli Formula Two driver`s halo during a morning race. Williams driver Alexander Albon was also caught up in the grand prix carnage and flown to hospital in Coventry by helicopter for precautionary checks.

Mercedes`s George Russell got out of his stricken car and ran across to check on Zhou. The Briton appeared to have been clipped from behind by AlphaTauri`s Pierre Gasly, the Mercedes` tyre then making contact with the Alfa.

"I got swamped by other cars and next thing I know I got touched, I was in the side of Zhou and that was it," said Russell. Television replays of the crash were not broadcast until it was clear Zhou had been removed safely and was conscious.

U.S. WNBA basketball star Brittney Griner has made a direct plea to President Joe Biden to stand up for her in an emotional letter sent to the White House on Monday as she remains detained in Russia on drug charges.

Griner, who was held at a Moscow airport on Feb. 17 when a search of her luggage allegedly revealed multiple cannabis oil vape cartridges, went on trial on Friday and could face up to 10 years in a Russian jail. The case takes place against a backdrop of high tension between Moscow and Washington over the conflict in Ukraine. U.S. officials say Griner has been detained wrongfully.

"As I sit here in a Russian prison, alone with my thoughts and without the protection of my wife, family, friends, Olympic jersey, or any accomplishments, I`m terrified I might be here forever," she wrote in a letter, excerpts of which have been shared by her representatives. "On the 4th of July, our family normally honors the service of those who fought for our freedom, including my father who is a Vietnam War Veteran. 
"It hurts thinking about how I usually celebrate this day because freedom means something completely different to me this year."

Griner, who competes in the U.S. Women`s National Basketball Association (WNBA) but has also played regularly in Russia, was formally told at the first hearing that she was charged with intentionally importing narcotics into Russia. The judge set the next hearing for July 7.

"I realize you are dealing with so much, but please don`t forget about me and the other American Detainees. Please do all you can to bring us home," Griner added. "I voted for the first time in 2020 and I voted for you. I believe in you. I still have so much good to do with my freedom that you can help restore. "I miss my wife! I miss my family! I miss my teammates! It kills me to know they are suffering so much right now. I am grateful for whatever you can do at this moment to get me home."

Team India dominated the fifth and final Test versus England for most parts only to go down eventually by seven wickets as the five-match Test series, which started during the 2021 English summer, ended in a 2-2 stalemate on Tuesday (July 05) in Edgbaston, Birimingham.

Being asked to bat first, India were in a spot of bother at 98-5 before Rishabh Pant's 146 and Ravindra Jadeja's 104 propelled the Rohit Sharma-less team to 416 in the first innings. In reply, England managed only 284, despite Jonny Bairstow's century, to give a sizeable 132-run lead to the Indian team. India missed a trick by not completely batting England out of contest in their second essay, being dismissed for 245, but still setup a challenging 378-run target for the hosts to level the series.

Ben Stokes-led England's newly formed aggressive approach with the bat tested Jasprit Bumrah &amp; Co. as they lost the plot to eventually lose by seven wickets, despite reducing England to 109-3&nbsp;during the penultimate day's play. An unbroken 269-run fourth-wicket stand between centurions Bairstow and Joe Root (142 not out) took their side past the finish line.

At the post-match presentation, Bumrah explained where India lost the plot. India's Player-of-the-Series (who ended the series with 23 scalps overall) stated,&nbsp;"That's the beauty of Test cricket, even if you have three good days. We fell short with the bat yesterday and that is where we let the opposition in to let the match slip away from us. Ifs and buts can always be there. If you go back, if there was no rain in the first match, we could have won the series. But England played really well. We have drawn the series and both teams played very good cricket and it was a fair result."

This also became the first instance of India failing to defend a 350-run plus total in a Test match. Further, it became the highest target successfully chased down by England in the format. Now, the action will move to the white-ball series, comprising three ODIs and T20Is each.

Paris Saint-Germain have parted company with coach Mauricio Pochettino, the French champions confirmed on Tuesday ahead of the expected announcement of Christophe Galtier as the Argentine's successor.

"Paris Saint-Germain confirm that Mauricio Pochettino has ended his role at the club," said a club statement as the former Tottenham Hotspur coach leaves the Parc des Princes after 18 months in charge.

Pochettino and his backroom staff depart having won the Ligue 1 title last season but the campaign was better remembered for a disappointing exit from the Champions League in the last 16 at the hands of Real Madrid. "The club would like to thank Mauricio Pochettino and his staff for their work and wish them the best for the future," added&nbsp;PSG's statement.

Confirmation of Pochettino's departure came after club sources confirmed on Monday that Galtier had agreed to become the new coach on a two-year deal. The 55-year-old Galtier, who spent last season in charge of Ligue 1 rivals Nice, was pictured arriving at the club's offices just outside the French capital on Monday.

A press conference is scheduled at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday at 2:00pm (1200 GMT) where Galtier is set to be officially unveiled. Galtier, who left Nice last month, has developed a reputation as the leading coach in the French club game over the last decade. He enjoyed eight successful years at Saint-Etienne, where he won the League Cup in 2013, before a four-year stint at Lille was crowned with the Ligue 1 title in 2021, when they pipped&nbsp;PSG.

The former Portsmouth assistant manager previously worked with Luis Campos, the Portuguese super scout who was recently named as&nbsp;PSG's football advisor and who built the Lille team that won the league under Galtier.

There has been a lot said and written about Cristiano Ronaldo's days in Manchester United. While first it was confirmed by Ronaldo himself that he is very keen on staying back and leading the club to glory in the next few seasons, the situation has turned upside down ever since.&nbsp;

Recently, it was revealed that Ronaldo has shown interest in moving to Chelsea after requesting to leave Man United. However, now another report have emerged regarding the superstar footballer's likely move out of the Red Devils' camp.&nbsp;

For the unversed, Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes has reportedly held talks with Bayern Munich as well as with Chelsea over his client's potential transfer this summer. Nonetheless, some reports have also claimed that Mendes has also&nbsp;met with Barcelona FC President Joan Laporta. The report of Mendes meeting Laporta was first reported&nbsp;by the Spanish publication AS.&nbsp;While nothing is official yet, his agent's meeting with the Barca president has led to widespread reaction as the club is the&nbsp;biggest rival of Real Madrid, where&nbsp;Ronaldo played for 9 years. In addition,&nbsp;the Portuguese captain's arch-rival Lionel Messi&nbsp;played most of his club football with Barcelona (for as many as 16 straight seasons, from 2005/06-2020/21).

Man United, under new manager&nbsp;Erik ten Hag, is aiming to revamp the whole squad before the new season. However, their lack of signings reportedly disappointed Ronaldo to start looking elsewhere and bring curtains to his second innings with the Red Devils. On Monday (July 04), as per&nbsp;Sky Sports, Man United are set to offer Christian Eriksen a three-year deal after the Danish football player&nbsp;agreed in principle to sign&nbsp;for the club. However, the 30-year-old midfielder will still have to agree to the personal terms with the Red Devils before he goes through a medical to finalise his move.

While Eriksen looks set to join the premier club, Ronaldo is likely to make a move after rejoining the team last year from Juventus.

Savita Punia-led India will square off against China in their second game of the ongoing FIH Hockey Women's World Cup on Tuesday evening (July 05). Savita Punia-led Indian team had a good start to the showpiece event as they ended their opening game, versus England, with a 1-1 scoreline.

Indian team's defence made a statement by not allowing the English team to dictate terms. However, the&nbsp;forward&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;the attack have to come to the party against China. In terms of head-to-head, India lead the charge with a 11-9 lead over their Asian neighbours. Talking about China, they also played out a 1-1 draw versus New Zealand in their opening game, hence, one can expect a riveting battle between two sides who will be desperate to get off the mark with a win in the competition.

After four pulsating days of cricket in Edgbaston, Birmingham, India and England will gear up for the five-match Test series' final day on Tuesday (July 05). In a series which has lasted for a year, with the&nbsp;final Test being rescheduled by more than ten months, both sides still have all to play for with the scoreline 2-1 in favour of India.

While India will turn up on the 22-yard cricket pitch with only 119 more runs to defend, in defence of 378, Ben Stokes &amp; Co. will start as favourites being well-placed at 259-3 courtesy of an unbroken 150-run fourth-wicket stand between half-centurions Joe Root (76*) and Jonny Bairstow (72 not out). Here's how the weather is expected to hold up for the final day's play:

According to&nbsp;the&nbsp;AccuWeather, there's&nbsp;about only 4 percent chance of rain at Edgbaston during the day time. The sky would, however, be partly covered by clouds. The chances of rain&nbsp;are still fairly slim. Hence, if India are to win the contest, Jasprit Bumrah &amp; Co. will have to buckle up and be at their very best to trigger a collapse of the English batting line-up on Day 5

Ragging can severely dent an individual and his, or her, confidence in facing the gruelling outside world. It leads to depression and various other issues. Recently, Indian sprinter Dutee Chand opened up facing ragging and how it mentally affected her during her days in the sports hostel in Bhubaneshwar.&nbsp;

Dutee opened up on the entire incident while responding to a user's post, on Facebook,&nbsp;who asked for tips on how to negate ragging in educational institutions.&nbsp;The 26-year-old said, "Seniors used to force me to massage their bodies and wash their clothes at the sports hostel. When I opposed them, they used to harass me."

The revelations from Dutee came&nbsp;a day following an 18-year-old Ruchika Mohanty's suicide, a history undergraduate student from Cuttack, due to ragging. She had written in her suicide note that she was mentally tortured and ragged by three&nbsp;seniors and, hence, committed suicide after not being able to take it anymore.&nbsp;The suicide has led to a&nbsp;huge controversy in Odisha, with several reactions pouring in from all corners.

Sharing more horrifying details on being ragged, Dutee further opined, "The incident had an impact on my mental condition. It is very difficult to remain focused on sports after the incidents of ragging and those who survive this stay in the hostel. But many give up and go back home."

"When I used to complain to the hostel in-charge, I used to be scolded. It used to take a mental toll on me. I was helpless at that time," the Olympian&nbsp;added.

A lot has been said and written about the ill effects of ragging upon individuals. While strict measures have been added in many educational and other institutes, it still remains a major issue in various places. One can only hope for sanity to prevail and ragging can come to an end eventually.

Top seed Novak Djokovic raised his level to put an end to the fairytale run of Dutch wildcard Tim van Rijthoven during a battling 6-2 4-6 6-1 6-2 victory on Sunday and keep his Wimbledon title defence on track. 
Chasing a fourth straight Wimbledon crown and seventh overall at the grasscourt major, Djokovic is now unbeaten on the manicured lawns of the All England Club since retiring due to an elbow injury against Tomas Berdych in the 2017 quarter-finals.

Djokovic will play Italian 10th seed Jannik Sinner for a place in Friday`s semi-finals after the 20-year-old ousted fifth-seeded Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in the previous contest on Centre Court. Van Rijthoven was ranked 205th in the world last month and had not even won a Challenger Tour title when he triumphed at the ATP 250 grasscourt event in `s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, defeating world number one Daniil Medvedev 6-4 6-1 in the final.

"Very tough. I mean, I have never faced him before and he`s kind of a new face on the tour," Djokovic said standing on the same lawn that he graced a few hours earlier as part of a parade of former champions to celebrate Centre Court`s 100 years. "He was on a streak on this surface and I knew that it wasn`t going to be easy with that serve and a lot of talent, great touch, powerful forehand, he can do a lot of damage. It took me a little bit of time to get used to his pace."

Djokovic broke the Dutchman at the first opportunity but was soon forced to dig deep on his own serve when van Rijthoven set up two break point chances. But the Serbian saved both and let out a huge roar that sounded even louder with the roof closed due to the lateness of the match.

Van Rijthoven missed one more chance on Djokovic`s serve in the seventh game and instead it was the top seed who got a second break to bag the set with an exquisite backhand down the line. 
The 25-year-old Van Rijthoven, who said it was his dream before the tournament to play Djokovic, would not be beaten easily though. He started putting Djokovic under pressure with his heavy forehand and finally managed to crack his opponent`s serve in the seventh game with cries of "Come on Tim" reverberating in the stands.

The Dutch, who rates his delivery as his greatest weapon, saved four break points while serving for the second set at 5-4 before slamming down two consecutive aces to level the contest at one set apiece. 
With less than 90 minutes left for an impending curfew at 11 pm local time, many would have wondered if the match was headed for a Monday finish. But Djokovic had other ideas. He slipped a few times on important points during the first two sets as he played a few metres behind the baseline to allow himself more time against the hard-hitting Van Rijthoven.

After losing the second set he decided to change tactics and pumped up his aggression. The 35-year-old showed why he has won 25 consecutive matches on grass and broke his opponent`s serve twice to completely shut out the momentum the Dutchman had gained.

Djokovic got a break early in the fourth and let out roars of "come on" with his fists clenched, while a second break in the seventh game put the world number three firmly in control. The 20-times major champion then converted his first match point with a forehand winner -- his 28th of the evening -- to keep his title defence rolling on grass.

"Conditions under the roof played a little bit different, a bit slippery. It takes a bit of time or a bit of adjustment but overall I closed out the match well," said Djokovic, claiming he was unaware of the approaching curfew. 
"I`m lucky. It`s never really pleasant if you can`t finish the match the same day. Glad I did."
