The French women's team have been barred from the boxing world championships because the results of their gender tests were not delivered on time, the French Federation (FFBoxe) said on Thursday (Sep 4). World Boxing said last month that women wanting to compete in the event in Liverpool that starts on Thursday would have to undergo mandatory genetic sex testing under its new policy. Such tests have been banned in France since a law was passed in 1994, except under strict conditions, so the French federation had to wait till they reached England in order to proceed with them.&nbsp;The five-member team underwent testing in a World Boxing-accredited laboratory with the understanding, FFBoxe said, that results would be available before the deadline.

"It's not how many times you get knocked down that counts; it's how many times you get back up." – Vince Lombardi. This quote perfectly describes Amanda Anisimova’s journey from a painful loss at SW19 to a thrilling comeback at Flushing Meadows. Fifty-three days ago, Poland's Iga Swiatek handed Anisimova a crushing defeat, winning 6-0, 6-0 (a rare double bagel) in the Wimbledon final. The loss was tough, and Anisimova admits it left her feeling down. "I was devastated, especially because I know how much people paid to watch that match," she said, reflecting on the disappointment. But instead of letting it define her, she used that setback as the path to her comeback. At the US Open 2025, Anisimova turned the tables, defeating Swiatek 6-4, 6-3 in the quarter-finals and avenging her earlier defeat.<h2>What helped her in defeating Iga Swiatek?</h2>Anisimova’s victory wasn’t just about playing better; it was about learning from her loss, growing mentally stronger, and pushing through challenges. She rewatched the Wimbledon final and used it as motivation. "It was painful, but I watched it to see what I could avoid," she said. “Then, after, I had to watch some good highlights to remove that from my brain.”, Anisimova said at the post-match presentation.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/5-greatest-male-tennis-players-of-all-time-federer-at-no-3-check-who-tops-the-list-1752827030736">5 greatest male tennis players of all time: Federer at no. 3, check who tops the list</a>&nbsp;This approach was new for Anisimova, who admits she wouldn’t have handled such losses so well in the past. "A few years ago, I would have blamed myself more or held on to the guilt for longer," she confessed. But after taking a break for her mental health, her attitude towards setbacks has changed.&nbsp;“I made a point to myself, and maybe to others, that if you put out a positive mindset, you can achieve a positive outcome.” Her win against Swiatek is a true tale of resilience.&nbsp;Now, she’ll face Naomi Osaka in the semi-finals, a showdown that promises even more excitement.

In just 53 days, Amanda Anisimova experienced two drastically different emotions while facing Iga Swiatek. At Wimbledon, Swiatek delivered a dominant performance, leaving Anisimova devastated. But at the US Open 2025, Anisimova made an incredible comeback, avenging her earlier defeat.

I think everybody knows how Amanda can play. Yeah, she didn’t play well in Wimbledon, but it’s not like she’s always going to make the same mistakes or feel the same. No, I know that she’s a good player."Anisimova now faces Japanese Naomi Osaka in women's singles semis to try and find a place in her second consecutive grand slam final.

Will attending IPL matches get costlier or cheaper? “For all specified actionable claims, including betting, casinos, gambling, horse racing, lottery and online money gaming, GST rate of 40% will apply. Admission to sporting events like IPL will attract 40% GST. However, this rate of 40% will not apply to admission to recognized sporting events,” a detailed statement in the circular released by the GST council on new reforms read. “Admission to other sporting events, including recognised sporting events where the ticket price is not more than Rs. 500, continues to be exempt, and if the ticket price is more than Rs. 500, it continues to be taxed at the standard rate of 18%,” it further added.
