How have the Williams sisters inspired teen sensation Coco Guaff

April 6, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Coco Gauff Serena Williams Spotlight

How have the Williams sisters inspired teen sensation Coco Guaff ?

Venus and Serena Williams have motivated many tennis players with their amazing careers both on and off the court. Coco Gauff is one of the players that have always admired the Williams sisters.

Coco’s father Corey Gauff has started training his daughter just like Venus and Serena’s father Richard.

During a recent conversation, the 17 year old Coco confirmed that Williams’ accomplishment and way to play tennis stirred her father to initiate Coco to the sport.

“What drew me to the Williams sisters was how they play,” Gauff said recently.” And just witnessing someone coming from where they came from make a huge mark on tour is certainly inspiring for my dad to get me to start playing. I kind of shaped parts of my game after both the sisters.”

The new American teen phenomenon acknowledged that she is also inspired by Serena and Venus’ activism outside the court when battling for critical things like equality:

“And certainly the off-court, what they’ve done for the sport and fighting for egalitarianism and all that is greatly inspiring. And that’s also why I constantly look up to them.”

Muguruza meets aggression with aggression to take down Sabalenka

March 12, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Dubai Tennis Tournament Garbine Muguruza Players

Muguruza meets aggression with aggression to take down Sabalenka and advance into the Dubai Semi Final.

Garbine Muguruza describes how she planned her game to beat an over-aggressive Aryna Sabalenka in Dubai.

Garbine Muguruza is having a great week in Dubai and has reached the semifinal after beating Aryna Sabalenka for the 2nd consecutive week 3-6 6-3 6-2. Muguruza ranked #16 will now face Elise Mertens for a place in the final in the pursuit to win her 1st title in Dubai.

So How did Muguruza defeat Sabalenka again ?

During the press meeting soon after her quarter-final against the world no.8, Muguruza described that she was reasonably stunned at how aggressive Sabalenka started to play.

“I felt like she came out today more belligerent than our previous match in Qatar,” Muguruza revealed. “I felt like she needed to play more hard-hitting, faster, serving big, and I kind of labored to find my shots, my game, and she swiftly broke me with the serve.”

Then Muguruza spoke about the modifications she had to make to beat Sabalenka to say: “I attempted to be more aggressive as well. If you have someone in your face who is trying to win the point in a couple of hard hitting shots, you have to be quicker and tougher, so I tried to play the leading role after that. Then the whole thing was more evenly balanced. I felt more in the points.”

Garbine Muguruza faces Elise Mertens next.

Garbine Muguruza will play Mertens in the Dubai semifinal. The head to head is 1-0 in favour of Muguruza. When they played last, Muguruza won 2-6 6-0 6-3 in the 1st round in New York (U.S. Open) 4 years back.

Andy Murray and Kim Sears proud parents of a lockdown baby

March 12, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Andy Murray Players

Andy Murray and Kim Sears proud parents of a lockdown baby!

Andy Murray and his wife Kim Sears have become proud parents for the fourth time.

As a result, the tennis star has pulled out of the upcoming ATP Tour event in Dubai as his immediate priority is his family, at this point in time, and caring for his partner and their new baby is top on his to-do list.

The news was revealed by a reporter for The Times, who disclosed on Twitter that Murray had decided to pull out of the event to tend to his family.

The couple have yet to confirm further details and no official statement has been made about the couple’s new baby.

Murray had been preparing to travel to Dubai for the event, which kicks off next week, but it is now understood that the probability of him being able to make it to the Miami Open later this month is more realistic.

On one hand Andy fans would be delighted about the news of his fourth child and on the other hand they would be disappointed as he previously had to withdraw from the Australian Open after testing positive for Covid-19 and now he has to pull out of the Dubai tournament due to personal reasons.

Andy and Kim have been married for 6 years and are parents to three children – Sophia, Edie and Teddy – and now the new baby as well.

The tennis star is known to keep his family life out of the limelight, and that could be the reason why the couple never publicly confirmed baby number four was on the way.

In the recent past Murray has been surrounded with injury problems and actually came close to ending his tennis career.

When the couple were anticipating their third child back in 2019, Murray jokingly admitted he needed to get back to touring since his family kept growing.

Rafael Nadal’s ongoing back injury prevents him to play in Dubai

March 11, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Players Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal’s ongoing back injury prevents him to play in Dubai.

Rafael Nadal recently took to Twitter to validate that he was proposed a wildcard to the upcoming 2021 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. But the Spaniard refused the offer, on the grounds that he isn’t ‘ready to play yet’.

Over the past few days there have been numerous claims about Rafael Nadal’s partaking in the Dubai Open, with many stating that the 20-time Major champion had accepted a wildcard to the event. Nadal has put an end to all the gossip with his latest tweet, but he acknowledged that he had entertained the possibility of playing in the Middle Eastern city of Dubai.

“I would like to thank the @DDFTennis for the wild card invitation sent to me,” Nadal wrote. “We seriously thought about coming to play, but I don’t think I am ready to play yet. Once again thanks to the tournament’s kind invitation and best of luck with the tournament ?”

Rafael Nadal is presently recovering from a back injury that also forced him to pull out from the Rotterdam Open. Nadal’s back has been worrying him since the ATP Cup, where he had to sit out of all his singles matches.

Nadal had declared a couple of weeks ago that he wouldn’t be competing at the Acapulco Open either, in spite of the fact that he was the defending champion in Mexico.

The Acapulco event director Raul Zurutuza had apparently claimed that a dispute in the appearance fee amount was what had led to Rafael Nadal’s backing out from the event. Nadal apparently charges a figure between $500,000 to $1 million as attendance fee for events below the rank of a Masters 1000.

Rafael Nadal has in the recent past preferred playing in Acapulco than Dubai, so it would have been curiosity arousing if he had taken part in the latter this year. The fact that Rafael Nadal had contemplated the prospect of playing in Dubai indicates that there may have been some honesty in Zurutuza’s claims.

Rafael Nadal last appearance at the Dubai Open was 13 years back, in 2008, where he was defeated in the quarterfinals by ultimate winner Andy Roddick. Nadal does, nevertheless, have a title to his name at this Dubai event; the Spaniard defeated arch-rival Federer in the 2006 final.

Nadal’s return to Dubai appeared like a solid possibility for a while, but regrettably for the tournament and his fans, it was not to be. As things stand, Nadal is likely to come back to the tour at the Miami Masters, slated to begin on the 24th of March.

Miami is one of the 3 Masters 1000 events that Nadal has not once won. The Spaniard has been the runner up in the Floridian city as many as five times, but has not been able to win on each occasion of reaching the finals.

It’s time to make space for catsuits in your wardrobe | Say Serena Williams, Kourtney & Kylie

March 10, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Serena Williams Spotlight

It’s time to make space for catsuits in your wardrobe!

Serena Williams and celebs like Kourtney Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Chloe Bailey and Chrissy Teigen have rocked the fashion world by having sported the catsuit trend in recent weeks. So, what is it about the look that makes the outfit so alluring? The catsuit is simple. Whether on the court or out partying, the one-piece bodysuits are flattering in all the appropriate places. The look is also adaptable as it can be worn on heels, sneakers or knee-high boots. You can tone down the catsuits with a North Face jacket or glamourize them with a duster coat or leather trench.

Serena Williams proves Catsuits are here to replace the little black dress in Fitted Unitard & Sleek Black Pumps!

Recently, catsuit aficionado and tennis superstar Serena Williams took to Instagram to share a photograph of herself, posing in a daring unitard. The snug ensemble featured long sleeves, gloves and stopped just on top of her ankles.

Williams raised the look by styling her hair in flowing waves. As for footwear, Williams created a monochrome impact by sporting classic black pumps. The stylish shoes featured a sharp toe and sat atop a scalpel heel.

As admirers of Williams know, she’s been a catsuit enthusiast since a very long time. Last month, Williams shook the world with her bold style to the Australian Open, wearing a black, red and pink catsuit from Nike all through the tournament.

At the 2021 Australian Open Serena was not only making a fashion statement, but also acknowledging her childhood hero: late track and field star Florence “FloJo” Griffith Joyner. The vibrant catsuit came nearly 3 years after Williams made a chic return to Roland Garros following the birth of her daughter Alexis Olympia in a full-length black catsuit. The unforgettable unitard highlighted a bold crimson waistband. She completed the outfit with a pair of sparkly gray and black Nike sneakers. (While the black catsuit was met by admiration, the French Tennis Federation criticized the look as distasteful with President Bernard Giudicelli banning the catsuit. Williams clarified in a press interview that she wore the look due to issues with blood clots.)

Still, Williams has resumed her line of catsuits with dignity. The stylish athlete and her daughter Olympia get dressed in matching catsuits and matching animal print heels for Stuart Weitzman’s spring ’21 promotion, which unveiled earlier this month.

Roger Federer’s fresh new outfit by Uniqlo to kickstart 2021

March 9, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Players Roger Federer

Roger Federer’s fresh new outfit by Uniqlo to kickstart 2021.

The Swiss maestro returns in Qatar with a fresh new Uniqlo outfit.

It has been over a year since Roger Federer last stepped on a tennis court for a professional tennis match, a hiatus that’s given his apparel sponsor Uniqlo sufficient time to produce a winning ensemble for his return.

With Federer’s return at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in March 2021, the Japanese company has disclosed his new outfit for Doha. Federer will also wear it in Dubai should he participate in back to back competitions. You can take a look at it below:

Roger Federer’s Middle East 2021 Outfit

For Federer’s return, Uniqlo has played around with shades of green. It is essentially a dark green outfit with some lighter shades of green in the form of bands on the edges of the sleeves.

Like all his earlier Uniqlo kit, it’s been conceived by Christophe Lemaire of Uniqlo U, and the range will be available in adult and kids sizes.

The composition of the outfit is 100% polyester and it’s part of the Dry-Ex line. There is a matching pair of green shorts in a lighter shade of green and has a harmonizing hat too.

What does Serena Williams think about Meghan’s interview with Oprah

March 8, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Serena Williams Spotlight

What does Serena Williams think about Meghan’s interview with Oprah ?

Serena Williams expresses her support for Meghan post her interview with Oprah:

“I know first hand that sexism and racial discrimination along with the media belittle women and people of colour,” wrote Serena Williams

Serena Williams has been friends with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, since about 7 years.

Tennis star Serena Williams has not minced any words in shouting out her support of her “selfless friend, Meghan Markle” after the latter raised accusations of bigotry against the British Royal Family in a historic interview with Oprah Winfrey. During the 2-hour special that aired on CBS, Harry and Meghan made a host of astonishing exposures, including the fact that Meghan’s request to search for help for her worsening mental health – aggravated by negative press coverage – was denied by the establishment, and that members of the royal family were apprehensive about “how dark” their unborn baby could be.

Serena Williams, who has encountered racist assaults for most of her career, said that she could identify with Meghan in that they have both had to fight sexist and bigoted institutions.

Meghan, who is African-American, became the focus of chauvinist and racist reporting in British tabloids after she wedded Prince Harry in 2018. Opening up on an onslaught of adverse media coverage she confronted as part of the royal family, Meghan, 39, told Oprah that the British media drove her to the point where she started experiencing suicidal thoughts.

Harry said that his family’s persistent hush on the issue of British tabloids and their discriminatory coverage of his wife “hurt” him. “The unhappiest parts I guess was over 70 members of parliament, female representatives of parliament .. came out and called out the colonial connotations of articles and headlines printed about Meghan, yet no one from my household ever said anything over those 3 years,” he said.

In a thought posted on Instagram, Serena Williams said that Meghan’s words explained the “pain and malice she’s suffered.”

In her Instagram shoutout, Serena William further said that we must “acknowledge our responsibility to decry malicious, unsubstantiated gossip and tabloid journalism.”

She said that she wished to see Meghan’s daughter, her own daughter Olympia and all others grow up in a culture driven by respect.

Meghan Markle and Serena Williams met for the first time in 2014 and became good friends. Serena Williams was among the very few of close friends invited to Meghan Markle’s royal wedding in 2018. She also co-hosted Meghan’s baby shower the following year in New York City.

Garbine loses in the Qatar final & cannot wait till next year

March 7, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Garbine Muguruza Spotlight

Garbine loses in the Qatar final & cannot wait till next year | recuperates by taking an ice tub dip !

The Doha women’s finals turned out to be an one sided affair with Petra Kvitova defeating Garbine Muguruza 6-2 6-1 after playing a solid match to win her 28th career title, the 1st of this season.

The match lasted just over an hour and this is the 2nd time Kvitova has won the tournament.

At the finish of the match the tally revealed that Petra scored 58 points vs. Muguruza’s 38.

Kvitova kept to the high standard of her game as was expected of her and converting 56% of the break points was perhaps the tilting factor.

On the other hand, Muguruza was not at the top of her game as a result her break points conversion ratio was only 14% and that was the key factor that led to her defeat.

After their meeting at Doha, the H2H between Kvitova and Muguruza is 5-1 in favour of Petra.

This is what the players had to say:

Kvitova, who has defeated Garbine in their past 5 meetings, said: “It’s been a terrific run. I’m sorry for the 2nd time. I hope we can play someplace else.”

World number 16 Garbine Muguruza said with a positive attitude: “For a 2nd time she grabbed the title away from me, but I can’t wait to come back in 2022.”

Do you know how Muguruza recovers after every match ?

All said and done we know how Garbine recovers after any match, she uses cryotherapy (cold therapy).

Garbine Muguruza posted a funny video post one of her recent matches in which she is seen having an ice bath in her own bathroom.

Faster muscle recovery times: Current research shows that whole-body cryotherapy supports faster recovery after extreme workouts or sports. This works best if you jump into a chamber or a tub filled with ice cubes immediately after an intense workout or sport.

Serena Williams tantalizing in a Feather-Trimmed Robe photoshoot

February 26, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Serena Williams Spotlight

Serena Williams tantalizing in a Feather-Trimmed Robe photoshoot.

It is a well-recognized fact that Serena Williams totally nails a photoshoot, and her latest Instagram post further validates her modelling talent.

Williams shared a beautiful photograph in which she stands in a beam of light on a staircase, displaying a sheer, red, feather-trimmed robe over a deeper red mini dress and finishing the look with cherry velvet heels. The sporting star wore her hair blonde and lightly curled, with a foggy eye and a soft nude lip. Breathtaking!

Serena also shared a video from the photoshoot, in which she is seen walking down the stairs in slow motion before posing for some clicks, a wind machine raising her robe and her hair. She tagged her glam squad in the post, hair artist Angela Meadows and makeup artiste Natasha Gross, as well as visual designer Kesha McLeod and professional photographer Ronald Wayne. And in the caption: Serena Williams tagged Chrissy Teigen, a fellow robe buff.

It’s not yet known where one can buy this stunning robe, but it’s conceivable that Williams is sporting an not-yet-released robe from Chrissy Teigen’s new robe line.

This has all the makings of being a teaser for Teigen’s line? We will know in time. In the meantime, we found a similar robes on amazon and you can find the images below:

Talking of Williams family fashion: Husband Alexis Ohanian was spotted sporting a superlative t-shirt to support his wife at the 2021 Australian Open. Viewing Serena play (and eventually defeated) Simona Halep, Ohanian wore a t-shirt from Serena’s unstoppable fashion line reading “GREATEST FEMALE ATHLETE,” with the modifier “FEMALE” correctly crossed out.

While the t-shirt needs no introduction as the entire tennis fraternity has seen it and in fact it is inarguably accurate, Tom Brady’s seventh Super Bowl win recently rekindled a social media discussion on which athlete deserves the title of GOAT.

The response, of course, is not Brady but Williams, who has a aggregate of 39 Grand Slam titles under her belt. And Ohanian’s “UNSTOPPABLE” printed t-shirt served as a very opportune reminder!
