Both men could be set to see much more of each other as they could be lined up for a shock Wimbledon quarterfinal, should they get past their respective fourth round ties.

Cobolli plays former Wimbledon finalist Marin Cilic, while Djokovic will need to get past Australian Alex De Minaur.

Goran Ivanisevic makes Novak Djokovic favourite for Wimbledon

Many have called this year’s Wimbledon Djokovic’s last chance to win a Grand Slam, but his former coach Goran Ivanisevic is not so sure.

He makes the Serbian the favourite for the tournament, despite the dominance of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz this year.

“Novak’s the favourite, no matter how sentimental that sounds,” explained the 2001 Wimbledon champion in an interview with Clay Tennis.

“Everyone says this is his last chance — I don’t agree,” continued Ivanisevic. “Plus, he’s the best grass-court player, experienced, he knows exactly what it takes here. It’ll be fascinating.”

Ivanisevic coached Djokovic between 2019 and 2024, and the Croatian is currently working with Stefano Tsitsipas

Rafa Nadal’s First Comments About Carlos Alcaraz Ring True

Rafa Nadal’s First Comments About Carlos Alcaraz Ring True Ahead of Wimbledon Quarterfinals

What Rafa Nadal said about Carlos Alcaraz when the young tennis player was first coming up in the sport rings true more than four years later after the Spaniard secured the fifth major of his career at the French Open earlier in the summer, and remains on course to challenge at Wimbledon

Alcaraz has showcased elite abilities in tennis’s top tournaments since 2022, when he won his maiden major at the US Open on a hard surface. Since then, he’s won twice on grass at Wimbledon, and twice on clay, too.

Nadal first played Alcaraz in an ATP event in 2021 at the Madrid Open. Though Nadal won in straight sets with scores of 6-1 and 6-2, the veteran was left impressed by the young whipper-snapper’s potential. And those words seem more relevant than ever, as Alcaraz makes his march toward a sixth major championship.

What Rafa Nadal Once Said About Carlos Alcaraz

Nadal told reporters following the second round win over Alcaraz that “somebody at his age” doing the things he was doing, was “something special. At the same time, he’s humble enough to keep working. He’s passionate about the game.”

“I really believe that he’s a complete player.”

Nadal continued: “He’s brave, he’s able to go to the net very often. Great forehand, great backhand.”

On the improvements he’d like to see from the phenom, he said: “Of course needs to improve a little bit the serve, but he’s just 18 today, so he has plenty of time. As I said, he’s humble enough and he’s a hard worker, so I don’t have a doubt that he will do it, no? His movement is great. He has plenty of ingredients to become a great player. That’s the main thing.”

The one thing that may hinder Alcaraz’s success was not himself, Nadal said, but the “quality of the big opponents” in front of him. “Nothing is easy in this life. Be one of the best players in the world and fight for the most important titles is something very difficult, but I really believe that he’s one of the guys that he can do it.”

Alcaraz returns to the court on Tuesday, the 8th of July, for his quarterfinal against the British player Cameron Norrie. The semifinals for the men’s singles tournament takes place Friday, before Sunday’s final.

‘I couldn’t believe it’ Roger Federer received bizarre gift after winning Wimbledon

Roger Federer was presented with a very strange gift after winning his first Wimbledon title. The man from Switzerland is the most successful male player in the history of the tournament, claiming the singles title on eight occasions. He dominated at SW19 shortly after the turn of the century, becoming the only player apart from Bjorn Borg to win five times in a row

Federer opened his account at Wimbledon in 2003, beating Mark Philippoussis in straight sets in a one-sided final. It saw him become the first Swiss man to win a Grand Slam title, instantly making him a national hero. He immediately returned to his native country to honour his commitment of playing the Swiss Open in Gstaad.

Upon his arrival, Federer was presented with an unusual gift to mark his Wimbledon triumph. It came in the form of a milking cow named Juliette, who was given to Federer during an on-court ceremony.

He also tried out a traditional one-legged Swiss milking stool in front of his new friend. Afterwards, he was nearly lost for words as he described his surprise at receiving the bizarre gift.

Carlos Alcaraz: Britain’s last remaining hope in singles Cameron Norrie made it through to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon after beating Chilean qualifier Nicolas Jarry in five sets.

The 29-year-old led by two sets and had a match point in the third, but was taken to a fifth by the towering Chilean.

However, Norrie held his nerve in the decider and did not drop serve all day in a 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 6-7 (7-9) 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 victory over a gruelling four hours and 27 minutes to return to the last eight for the first time since 2022.

Norrie, the world No 61, a semi-finalist here in 2022 is now only the third British man to reach the last eight more than once in the last 50 years, after Tim Henman and Andy Murray and now the last home player left in the tournament.

Norrie, who has now won nine of his 10 matches on his favourite Court One, said: “I hung tough when I needed to and the atmosphere was so good.

“Credit to Nico, he did an unbelievable job staying with me. I just had to keep fighting.

“It’s my coach’s birthday and I forgot to get him a present, so I got him the win.”

Jarry, 6ft 7in South American, was clearly unhappy about something at the end, with the two players engaged in a long, heated conversation after shaking hands.

“He said I was a little bit vocal, but that’s my energy. It was a competitive match,” added Norrie.

Norrie scrambled brilliantly to snatch the first set with what proved to be the only break of the first four.

He took the second on a tie-break and had match point in the third-set tiebreak, only for towering Jarry to save it and force a fourth set, which he sealed with an ace.

Carlos Alcaraz speaks: “He’s pushing you to the limit with every ball. I think I played very intelligent, very smart. It’s about belief in yourself. Tennis it can change in one point. You have stay strong mentally. The break in the second set turned around everything. I am going to play against a British player. I will try to enjoy as much as I can. It’s super special and it’s a gift. I know [Cam Norrie] well. He’s playing great.”

He then admits Andy Murray beat him at golf. “I let him win.

Alcaraz beats Rublev 6-7 6-3 6-4 6-4

OK, 15-0, then 3-0 as Rublev cranks a forehand out of play. Rublev then prevails in a fine rally that sends Alcaraz to Putney Bridge and back. Then, an Alcaraz error for 30-30. Uh oh? An ace down the line, and match point arrives. He will need another as Rublev forces an error for deuce. Here it comes after a lob and smash routine plants the ball beyond reach. The serve skids in, and Rublev can’t return it. The champion is in the quarter-finals.

Alcaraz takes the third set 6-4, leads 2-1

Alcaraz, with a couple of wobbles, sees out his service game. He’s hitting the lines with his shots and pushing Rublev to the limit. The Russian is still holding strong, and so Alcaraz is asked to serve out at 5-4 up in the third set. He does so in mere seconds.

Alcaraz really turns it on in the seventh game, two unbelievable returns hand him break point, and then, even better, from the back of the court he shovels over a winner when Rublev had all but won the point. 4-3, and he’s a break up.

The third set is going with serve but it feels like Rublev is piling on the pressure. At 2-3 down, Alcaraz faces a break point after some real court speed from Alcaraz. A huge serve means it’s deuce. Double fault from Alcaraz takes it back there, too. But he sees it out for 3-3.

2025 French Open, Carlos Alcaraz hits back perfectly at

2025 French Open, Carlos Alcaraz hits back perfectly at Nick Kyrgios after his controversial ‘girls’ and ‘partying’ claim

Carlos Alcaraz is currently defending his Wimbledon title having won the 2025 French Open earlier this year.

The Spaniard bested Andrey Rublev in a mouth-watering round of 16 clash on Sunday evening to make it 18 Wimbledon wins in a row as he continues his bid to win a three-peat at the All England Club.

Five-time Grand Slam winner Alcaraz looks set to dominate the world of tennis for years to come having won five Grand Slams before turning 23.

He is currently engaged in a fiercely contested rivalry with Italy’s Jannik Sinner, who he beat at Roland-Garros in the French Open final last month.

The pair have gone back and forth for some time now, drawing comparisons with the rivalries shared between tennis’ fabled ‘Big Four’ of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic.

Kyrgios was asked which player he felt would have the better career, and he opted to go with Sinner due to Alcaraz’s exploits off the court.

Lord Of Golf : Tiger Woods’s most overlooked major was his

Lord Of Golf : Tiger Woods’s most overlooked major was his most meaningful, former caddie claims

Tiger Woods’ absence throughout 2025 has left a noticeable void in the world of golf, robbing it of much of its appeal and excitement. His magnetic presence has always elevated the prestige of any tournament he participates in, and without him, the sport feels less complete

Unfortunately, last year, while training at home after recovering from a back surgery, Woods suffered a torn Achilles tendon. That setback ruled him out of competitive play for the foreseeable future, extinguishing hopes of a return to the elite events that once defined his legendary career.

As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured.

A precisely executed surgery

Fortunately for Woods and the millions of fans who long to see him compete at the highest level again, the surgery was successful. Dr. Charlton Stucken performed a minimally invasive procedure at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach.

Drawing attention even from the sidelines

It’s simply in Tiger’s nature to command attention, even when he’s not swinging a club. His legacy and exceptional talent keep him relevant in every conversation about golf, whether he’s competing or not.

His longtime caddie and close friend, Steve Williams, recently shared reflections on a defining moment in Woods’ career during an appearance on The Yardage Book NZ podcast.

From that pivotal win, Tiger Woods’ ascent into the upper echelon of golf history was set in motion. His legend began to crystallize, placing him firmly among the greatest of all time.

Terence Crawford is gearing up for the toughest test of his professional career. The 37-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska will do battle with Mexican icon Canelo Alvarez on Saturday September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Having spent his recent years campaigning at welterweight before having one fight a super-welterweight, Crawford will make the jump up to super-middleweight ahead of his showdown with Canelo, as he bids to become the undisputed champion at 168lbs.

He would also be just the third man to beat Alvarez in 68 fights after Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol.

Donald Trump Has Spoken Out About How he found out Tiger

Donald Trump Has Spoken Out About How he found out Tiger Woods was dating Vanessa Trump and what ’caused’ divorce with Donald Trump Jr.

Donald Trump has spoken out about Tiger Woods and his new relationship, and revealed what the golfer told him months before making the news public.

Last week, Tiger Woods revealed that he was in fact in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, finally putting an end to the rumors about the golf legend’s love life.

Vanessa Trump is the former wife of Donald Trump Jr. and by extension the former daughter-in-law to president Donald Trump.

Vanessa was married to Trump Jr. between 2005 and 2018 and the pair have five children together.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump addressed the relationship for the first time.

He explained that Woods had informed him about the budding relationship months ago and Trump noted he gave his blessing.

Trump said: “I happen to think the relationship with my son, I think I happened to think the relationship was hurt very badly by the witch hunt that went on Russia, Russia, Russia and all the crap that they put on through who knew nothing about it.

“But Vanessa and Don had a very good relationship. They have incredible children and five incredible children. All good athletes, all great students alike. Right? And, they broke up, you know, quite a while ago. And, which was to me very sad because I think they’re both right.”

The Robert Mueller led special counsel investigation was looking at possible Russian interference in the 2016 election. No evidence found that Trump or any of his aides coordinated with Russian officials or the government to affect the US election results.
