British Wildcard Reaches Wimbledon Semifinals

British wildcard Arthur Fery (23) has advanced to the Wimbledon semifinals by defeating Italian world number 1 Flavio Cobolli with scores of 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), 6-0. Cobolli was the runner-up at Roland-Garros in June. Fery is the first men's player in 25 years to reach Wimbledon semifinals as a wildcard and is ranked 114th in the world.

In the semifinal, Fery will face German Alexander Zverev, who won his first Grand Slam title at Roland-Garros last month and defeated American Taylor Fritz in straight sets in the quarterfinals. Fery could become the first British Wimbledon winner since Andy Murray in 2016 if he advances to the final.

Jordan Henderson Returns To England Camp After Wrist Surgery For Freak Injury

England midfielder Jordan Henderson rejoined The Three Lions at their World Cup training base Wednesday after undergoing surgery on his left wrist following a freak injury that he sustained while celebrating their Round of 16 triumph over Mexico last weekend. The 36-year-old Henderson posted a photo on social media of his left arm wrapped after the procedure at the Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute, which is about a 10-minute drive from their team hotel in the suburb of Prairie Village, Kansas. "Surgery done!" Henderson said. "Now let's get ready for the big one Saturday." Henderson, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the World Cup, had been an unused substitute for Sunday's match against Mexico at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. The Three Lions had just survived a 3-2 thriller to advance to a quarterfinal against Norway when Henderson hurt his wrist while climbing over an advertising billboard. "I’m sad because Jordan injured his wrist," England coach Thomas Tuchel said after the match. "It’s quite serious." Henderson was taken from the field on a stretcher and remained in Mexico City while the rest of England's players returned to their base camp in Kansas City, Missouri. He later returned to the United States and underwent surgery on the wrist. Henderson's only World Cup appearance this year came in the group stage, when he came off the bench against Panama. It was his 91st career cap and made Henderson the first player from England to have appeared in four different tournaments. "Time goes very quickly," Henderson said that day in East Rutherford, N.J. "It’s very special to represent my country in four World Cups, so, yeah, I’m just delighted to be a part of this team. It’s still as special now as when I made my debut in 2010. Time goes quickly, but I’m just delighted that I can help the team as much as possible, both on and off the field, and just try and give everything I can to help us achieve our dreams, really." England failed to make it out of the group stage in 2014, lost to Belgium in the third-place match four years later, and fell to France in the quarterfinals four years ago in Qatar. The Three Lions' only World Cup title remains their 1966 triumph over West Germany. Reporting by The Associated Press. amunra-opinie.pl

Cuando Cristiano Ronaldo ganó su primer Balón de Oro, en 2008, Cubarsí llevaba pañales. Es relevante porque en aquella época, los centrales que marcaban a Cristiano sacan 30 o 40 años a los que le marcan hoy. De Maldini a Cubarsí, ambos han estado enfrente del bicho, miles de futbolistas compitiendo para mantener la exigencia al máximo como si fueran un solo rival bendecido con el elixir de la eterna juventud. Algunos dicen de Cristiano que ya no es el que era y él debe de pensar, entre repetición y repetición, que los que no son los que eran son los defensas contrarios.
