Roland Garros organizers have confirmed that Novak Djokovic will be allowed to defend his title as the tournament prepares to stage what is expected to be the first Grand Slam without any health limitations since the lockdowns began two years ago.

From the beginning of May 2022, France lifted restrictions in almost all public spaces except hospitals, nursing homes and public transport, meaning the French Open should witness spectators at full capacity.
Russian tennis players, of the likes of Daniil Medvedev, will also be permitted to play at the Roland Garros but as neutral athletes because of the war started by their country in neighbouring Ukraine.

Novak Djokovic, the 20-time Grand Slam champion, was unable to defend his Australian Open title in January 2022 after being expelled from the country. He had at first been admitted to the competition despite not being vaccinated. He told the BBC last month that he was prepared to skip upcoming Grand Slam competitions as well if they required him to get vaccinated.

Djokovic, was also unable to play at the Indian Wells and Miami ATP 1000 tournaments since he was unable to enter the United States without proof of vaccination.

While that is not necessary to enter Paris, French tennis federation president Gilles Moretton cautioned that things could change before the contest starts May 22.

Ons Jabeur first real succes on clay was in 2011 when she won the Roland-Garros junior girls singles title. Ons Jabuer confessed that Roland-Garros was the only Grand Slam she really knew about and how much she enjoys playing on the surface after her latest big win.

Recently, at the Italian, Jabeur came from 6-1, 5-2 to defeat Maria Sakkari 1-6, 7-5, 6-1 to win her 10th match on the trot and reach the semi-finals in Rome. She won the hearts of the Italian fans and for all you know her odds as the favourite for the title have just got a big boost.

Tennis Legend Boris Becker could face 7 years jail for concealing assets from insolvency

Tennis Legend Boris Becker could face 7 years jail for concealing assets from insolvency

The former Tennis pro champion was sentenced earlier this month of four charges under the bankruptcy Act.

Boris Becker is facing a jail sentence for suppressing hundreds of thousands of pounds of assets after he was proclaimed bankrupt.

The 3-time Wimbledon winner found himself stranded financially in June 2017 after his £38 million tennis earnings were eaten up by a costly divorce, child upkeep, and his extravagant lifestyle.

Faced with calls to hand over his assets, Becker hid his stake in real estate in Germany as well as shares in a tech firm, and moved £360,000 (€426,930) to others including his ex-wife Barbara and his separated wife Sharlely “Lilly” Becker.

Jurors at Southwark crown court acquitted Becker of a further twenty charges, including accusations that he had concealed his trophy collection from liquidation officials. But he still faces the possibility of a prison term as he faces the decision by Judge Deborah Taylor, the Recorder of Westminster.

Becker, who has lived in the United Kingdom since 2012, was pronounced bankrupt after his failure to pay on a £3 million bank loan for repairs to his extensive estate in Mallorca.

A High Court judge declined the request to grant extra time to allow Becker to try to pass on the debt, leaving the tennis ace under strict constraints on his monetary affairs.

He was also sentenced in 2002 in Germany of tax evasion and attempted tax evasion after an probe into his time spent residing in Monte Carlo and his native Germany.

Evidence was submitted of his expenditure at Harrods and Ralph Lauren while bankruptcy was imminent, while he also shelled out €48,000 for an ankle surgery at a private clinic, €12,500 to a private jet company, and a €6,000 luxury golf resort holiday in China.

In his defence Becker said he had relied on consultants to help him with legal papers, and insisted he had not read papers spelling out his obligations to the bankruptcy proceedings.

Becker faces his sentencing hearing soon and if the judge is not lenient then the charges he has been convicted carry a maximum seven year prison term.

Will Smith in tears at The Academy Awards

Will Smith in tears at The Academy Awards as Venus and Serena Williams watch

Will Smith was awarded the 2022 Academy Award for Best Actor on Sunday for his depiction of Serena and Venus Williams’ father Richard Williams in King Richard, a critically-applauded film based on his life.

The win marked Will Smith’s first Oscar win in his 3rd nomination, surpassing Javier Bardem (Being the Ricardos), Andrew Garfield (Tick, Tick… Boom!), Benedict Cumberbatch (The Power of the Dog) and Denzel Washington (The Tragedy of Macbeth).

Addressing the distinguished audience on stage after collecting his award, the 53-year-old delivered an emotionally-charged speech while struggling to keep his emotions at bay. Calling Richard Williams as a “fierce defender” of his family, Smith commented that he was called on to do the same for the girls who played Venus and Serena Williams, as well as Aunjanue Ellis, who played their mother Oracene Price.

The actor also added that he believed it his higher-calling to defend the people he loved, which he considered he had done to the best of his ability. On the verge of tears, Will Smith also pontificated about how it was important to endure and ignore abuse as an actor and to keep a smile on one’s face despite the deliberate contempt and mockery.

“It’s not about winning an award for me, it’s about being able to shine light on all the cast of King Richard and Venus and Serena Williams”

Will Smith

Will Smith’s statement about the need to tolerate insults as an actor had something to do with the fact that he had earlier gotten into an confrontation with comedian Chris Rock.

Taking offense to a very unpleasant joke Rock made about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, the actor marched on to the stage and landed a crisp slap on his face. Smith went on to repetitively demand that Rock keep his mouth shut about any remarks relating to his wife.

The 53-year-old apologized to everybody for his temporary loss of control, adding that he did not mean to deviate from the “beautiful moment” of King Richard winning an Academy Award. Will Smith used the occasion to highlight the significance of the entire cast and crew of the movie, as well as Venus Williams and Serena Williams, who were executive producers on the film.

Iga Swiatek to become No 1

Iga Swiatek to become No 1 but Sakkari not far back | Ashleigh Barty shock retirement creates ripples

The Aussie star’s sudden retirement has shocked the world, but it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Iga Swiatek will take her place in the WTA rankings.

Though the 20-year-old Swiatek is a colossal 2,204 ranking points behind Barty, but there will be a new number one in the next few days and the second-placed Pole is in the best position.

Ashleigh Barty said yesterday that she will withdraw herself from the WTA rankings after revealing her retirement, paving the way for Poland’s Iga Swiatek to become the world’s top seed.

The 3-time Grand Slam-winning Barty has held top spot for more than couple of years. The world of tennis has been stunned with the Aussie star’s decision to quit at a very young age of 25.

Swiatek, who shot to fame by winning the Roland Garros title in 2020 and has shown incredible consistency since, told the media at the Miami Open that she is trying not to think about it too much.

Swiatek is only 691 points ahead of 3rd-ranked Maria Sakkari of Greece after winning at Indian Wells last week, her 2nd title in as many tournaments after her victory in Doha in February.

Speaking in public for the first time since revealing her shock retirement, Barty told a press conference in Brisbane: “My name will be removed from the list in the next ranking”.

Under the emerging scenario Sakkari and Swiatek have already formed quite a rivalry. What seems obvious is that if Swiatek blinks or wastes her No. 1 status opportunity, then Sakkari will be there close at her heels to grab it from her.

Sakkari and Swiatek locked horns for the first time at last year’s French Open and since then have had four more meetings.

Sakkari dominated Swiatek last year, beating the Pole at the Ostrava, Roland Garros and WTA Finals.

This year has started off slightly better for Swiatek but their rivalry is palpable.

Rafael Nadal Suffers a Rib Fracture & Ashleigh Barty Retires

Rafael Nadal Suffers a Rib Fracture & Ashleigh Barty Retires | 2 Unexpected News Flashes in One Day!

World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty has sent tremors through the tennis community by revealing her abrupt retirement, just two months after her Australian Open triumph.

Meanwhile, Spanish legend Rafael Nadal is likely to be side lined for the next 2 months due to a rib fracture. The Spaniard looked to be in discomfort during the Indian Wells Open final against Taylor Fritz and the explanation is now known to all of us.

How did Rafael Nadal suffer a rib fracture?

Rafael Nadal’s season has unexpectedly been turned upside down in a manner no one could have ever thought. The Spaniard set out to the Indian Wells final with a 20-match win streak, but saw his individual best start to a season come to an end at the hands of Taylor Fritz. During the final, the Spaniard was in agony due to issues with his torso and had trouble breathing.

Upon further investigation by a medical team, it has been discovered that he endured a stress crack in the third rib. He is going to need full rest to recover and will be out of action for around four to six weeks and almost certainly won’t compete at the Monte-Carlo Masters or the Barcelona Open. His participation at the French Open also hangs in the balance.

It is suspected that in his semi final match against Carlos Alcaraz he may have injured himself internally, without realizing. It is also possible that the stress from that game spilt over onto the finals and that is when the pain of the injury came out. The muscles around the chest and rib cage come into motion during powerful serves and top spin strokes. It is quite possible that is the root cause of his injury.

Why has Ashleigh Barty called it quits?

In an unanticipated move, World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty announced that she was stepping down from professional tennis. She hasn’t participated since winning the Australian Open in January 2022 and in an Instagram update, made known her decision to hang up her racquet for good at such an early stage in her career, she is just 25 years of age.

Barty is just the 2nd player in the pro WTA circuit to retire as World No. 1, following Justine Henin in 2008. The Australian’s career accomplishments include winning the Roland Garros in 2019, The Wimbledon Championships in 2021, The Australian Open in 2022 and the US Open doubles title in 2018.

Barty secured a further 12 singles titles, including the WTA Finals in 2019. She also held the World No. 1 ranking for 113 straight weeks and 120 in total. One of the most adored players on the tour, her absence will be felt all around.

Svitolina Boycott | Elina Svitolina refuses to play against Russian & Belarusian Players

Ukrainian tennis star Elina Svitolina REJECTS to play Russia’s Anastasia Potapova in the round of 32 match of the Monterrey Open unless International Olympic Committee’s recommendations to ban Russian athletes are put in place.

The International Olympic Committee’s executive board on 25th February held that Russian and Belarusian national flags should not be exhibited at international sports events following Russia’s assault on Ukraine.

On 28th February, the International Olympic Committee’s executive board went even further and recommended sports federations to ban Russian and Belarusian contestants and representatives in any international sporting event from competing, but Elina Svitolina made her feelings known before the latest release.

‘We Ukrainian players requested to ATP, WTA and ITF to follow the recommendations of the IOC to accept Russian or Belarusian nationals only as neutral athletes, without displaying any national symbols, colours, flags or anthems,’ Svitolina said.

In a separate but related statement earlier on Monday, Ukrainian women’s tennis players including Lesia Tsurenko & Marta Kostyuk called on the Women’s Tennis Association to pull out of all tournaments from Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.

Athletes from Ukraine and other countries have insisted that international bodies to take action after Russia initiated its invasion by land, air and sea last week following a proclamation of war by President Vladimir Putin.
