Spectators at the Canadian Open were treated to a bizarre spectacle yesterday as a rally was suddenly halted for the strangest of reasons.Jessica Pegula, seeded fourth, was taking on Iga Swiatek, the top seed, in the semi-final and after the former took the first set 6-4, we entered a crucial stage in the second. It was 6-6 in games, meaning a tiebreak was needed, and with the tiebreak score at 4-3 in favour of Pegula, the moment of hilarity struck.The game was halted mid-point as the song 'Cotton Eye Joe' by Rednex suddenly started playing over the speakers. The umpire very quickly stopped play as the crowd reacted in a bemused fashion, and the television announcer can be heard saying: "Oh wow. 'Cotton Eye Joe' just came on mid-rally... are we in Texas?," while the umpire can be heard telling the players to replay the point.It was certainly one way to liven up proceedings, and despite the inadvertent music break, Pegula was eventually able to put the distraction behind her and win the match 6-2, 6-7, 6-4.

As play was paused for a few minutes, the crowd appeared to be mocking her, with her opponent Toth also laughing.Then, in a hugely controversial moment, Toth walked over to the mark that was on the court and wiped it out, so it could not be seen.

She later revealed she had a panic attack, which led her to retire from the match.Despite the unfavourable circumstances surrounding her opponent’s retirement, Toth still celebrated as Zhang walked off the court.

<![CDATA[Wimbledon: Carlos Alcaraz & Rafael Nadal's winning moments are so similar]]>

For the first time since 2002, the name etched onto Wimbledon’s Champions board will not be that of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, or Rafael Nadal as Carlos Alcaraz overcame seven-time winner Djokovic on Sunday to become the new gentlemen's singles champion.Djokovic held the 20-year-old to a thrilling five-set match in a final full of breathtaking points and the occasional on-court drama, but after losing to Djokovic in the French Open just two months ago, the Spaniard, who went into the tournament as top seed, was able to see out the match in incredible fashion.During the tournament, Alcaraz was being dubbed as the new generational talent - a player that might finally be able to compete with and challenge the likes of Djokovic and Nadal.And in his post-match conference, Djokovic compared Alcaraz to the three greats of the game."His game [consists] of certain elements of Roger, Rafa, and myself. He has the best of all three worlds.”2023-07-16T182224Z_287251447_UP1EJ7G1F1BY0_RTRMADP_3_TENNIS-WIMBLEDONAnd viewers agreed. Indeed, one eagle-eyed viewer posted a video that compared this year’s final point with the concluding point of the iconic 2008 duel between Federer and Nadal, widely considered as one of the greatest Wimbledon finals of all time, and it reveals some uncanny similarities.

<![CDATA[Carlos Alcaraz shows off football knowledge with Dream XI ft. Ronaldo, Messi and Zidane]]>

Tennis ace Carlos Alcaraz has showcased his impressive footballing knowledge, naming his dream XI and it's pretty incredible.The Spaniard dethroned Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon on Sunday, becoming the first champion outside of Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray since 2003.He also became the youngest player (20) to win the men's tournament since Boris Becker (17) in 1985. The future is seemingly very bright for Alcaraz, who looks set to be a major player in tennis for years to come, but it seems it isn't the only sport he's quite familiar with.It turns out, the Spaniard has quite the footballing brain too. He recently named his dream football XI, and it is pretty damn impressive. There aren't many teams in history that would stand a chance against his fantasy team, which is filled with some of football's greatest-ever stars.Born and raised in Spain, it's no surprise that the majority of the players involved spent large chunks of their time playing in La Liga. In fact, every single inclusion in his team managed to play in his home nation for at least one season throughout their careers. Enough beating around the bush, though, it's time to look at Alcaraz's dream football XI.

<![CDATA[Carlos Alcaraz's stats compared to Djokovic, Nadal & Federer at same age]]>

Men's tennis has been dominated by three players for the best part of 20 years. Cue, Carlos Alcaraz. Prior to the 2023 Wimbledon final, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, collectively known as the 'Big Three', had won 65 of the past 78 Grand Slams between them. In fact, if you factor Andy Murray into the equation, it had been 21 years since someone other than these four players won the Wimbledon title. Djokovic himself had won the past four in a row heading into this year's final and hadn't lost a match on Centre Court since his defeat to Murray in 2013. Many had tried to topple the Serbian on grass and all had failed, regardless of how well they'd played. But Alcaraz is no ordinary tennis player. Indeed, as he emerged victorious in an epic five-set encounter on Sunday, it became clear that he is the only man on the planet capable of toppling Djokovic right now and may well be the one to finally end his reign of dominance.

Mirra Andreeva’s impressive run at Wimbledon came to an end following a 3-6, 7-6, 6-2 loss to Madison Keys. Andreeva was in the driving seat for much of the match against her American opponent, and had been just two games from victory in the second set. But Keys came roaring back and forced the encounter to a deciding set, which she won 6-2. It was a disappointing end to Andreeva’s magnificent run to the fourth round at Wimbledon. The Russian star is just 16-years-old, and today’s defeat was only her seventh career match on grass.She had shrugged off Spain’s Rosa Vicens Mas, France’s Chloé Paquet and Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch in qualifying, before getting past China’s Wang Xiyu, Czech Barbora Krejčíková and fellow Russian Anastasia Potapova in the main draw.Andreeva could not hide her emotions following her exit from the Grand Slam, particularly after a controversial end to the match.The teenager had received a penalty point for throwing her racket, which gave Keys match point.

Katie Boulter has replaced Emma Raducanu as the British number one women’s tennis player. The 26-year-old earned the position for the first time after reaching the semi-finals of the Surbiton Trophy, an ITF tournament played in the run-up to Wimbledon. Boulter is now ranked 126th in the world, two places above her compatriot Raducanu, who is currently recovering from hand and ankle surgeries and will miss the summer season.Jodie Burrage, Katie Swan, and Harriet Dart are all within the world’s top 150 too, giving all of them a feasible chance of usurping Boulter as Britain's number one women's player at some point this year.Boulter has now responded to her new ranking, posting a statement on social media.

<![CDATA[Who is the greatest male tennis player ever: Djokovic, Nadal, or Federer?]]>

It's time to reopen tennis' longest-running debate. Who is the greatest of all time among the Big Three? Who is tennis' GOAT?Novak Djokovic became the most successful men's tennis player in history on Sunday night as he beat Casper Ruud to clinch a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam at the French Open. His victory in Paris means that the Serbian star now has one Grand Slam more than former world number one Rafael Nadal and three more than the recently retired Roger Federer.That gap could extend further come July, with Djokovic being the undoubted favourite going into Wimbledon.

Carlos Alcaraz has already established himself as the newest superstar in men's tennis and the Spaniard has continued his remarkable rise by notching a new milestone not even achieved by Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic. Collectively known as the 'Big Three', Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have dominated the sport this millennium – winning 64 of the last 76 Grand Slam titles between them. While the likes of Andy Murray and Stanislas Wawrinka have managed to win a handful of majors between them, no player has been able to de-throne the 'Big Three' for more than a decade - that is until Alcaraz came along. At the age of just 18 last year, the Spaniard became the first player to defeat Nadal and Djokovic consecutively on clay, when he beat both at the Madrid Open. But the teenager wasn't done there. Later in 2022, he claimed his first Grand Slam title at the US Open – becoming the youngest ever men's number one in the process. Carlos Alcaraz celebrates at US OpenDespite missing this year's Australian Open through injury, Alcaraz is now on the charge again, having won the Argentina Open and reached the final of the Rio Open last month. And now, having reached the last-16 of the prestigious Indian Wells tournament - the 19-year-old has reached 100 wins on the ATP Tour, in just 132 matches.
