2028 Olympics only thing in my vision
Novak Djokovic says defending his Olympic singles title at the Los Angeles Games in 2028 is the "only thing in my vision".Serbia's Djokovic beat Carlos Alcaraz in Paris last year to secure a long-awaited Olympic title and complete the career 'Golden Slam'.Djokovic, who will be 41 when the LA Games begin, is also pursuing an outright record 25th Grand Slam singles title, but that is no longer his primary motivation."The only thing that I have in my head, which gives me motivation, is the Olympics of 2028 in Los Angeles," Djokovic told football manager Slaven Bilic in an interview., external"It is the only thing that at this moment, professionally speaking, I have in my vision at this point."And playing for the national team and Grand Slams. But not even the Grand Slams, not as much as the Olympics."
Djokovic's 24 Grand Slams puts him level with Margaret Court for the most majors won, but a 25th would see him become the outright record holder.The 38-year-old has swept up every title there is in tennis but has not won a Grand Slam since the 2023 US Open.He retired injured from this year's Australian Open semi-final then lost in straight sets to world number one Jannik Sinner in the last four at the French Open.Djokovic said after his loss to Sinner that it "could have been the last match I ever play here" at Roland Garros.However, he did win his 100th ATP Tour title in May, becoming just the third man in the Open era to achieve that feat after Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer.If he were did defend his Olympic singles title he would become just the second player to do so after former British number one Sir Andy Murray.Djokovic is not slated to compete anywhere before Wimbledon begins on 30 June, where he will be bidding for a record-equalling eighth singles title.

Emma Raducanu links up with Carlos Alcaraz in new blockbuster partnership
Emma Raducanu will partner Carlos Alcaraz for the revamped mixed doubles tournament at the US Open later this year, with the duo both having won singles titles in New York Emma Raducanu will link up with Carlos Alcaraz in a blockbuster partnership for the US Open mixed doubles. The event has been revamped in a bid to draw in the crowds and has been moved to the week before the main singles draw gets underway. An unprecedented list of star names have signed up for the tournament. It includes nine of the world's Top 10 men and nine of the world's Top 10 women, with £739,500 at stake for the winners. The competition will take place during US Open Fan Week from 19 August at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. In total, 16 teams have entered as of the time of writing. The entry window will close on 28 July. At that point, the top eight teams with the best combined singles ranking at the time will officially be in the field/draw via direct acceptance. The remaining eight teams will be determined via wild card. Headlining the field is Raducanu, who won the women's singles title in Flushing Meadows in 2021, and her partnership with Alcaraz, who has won five Grand Slams, including the 2022 men's US Open and the French Open earlier this month. Raducanu has previously spoken of her admiration for Alcaraz's free-flowing game and was in the crowd to watch the Spaniard beat Novak Djokovic in last year's Wimbledon final, his second win in London. "The last couple matches I've been following Carlos, and it's just good to watch before my match," she said. "And sometimes in certain moments you in a way try to emulate certain shots." Raducanu's last outing in a high-profile mixed doubles partnership drew controversy as she agreed to play with Andy Murray during his final Wimbledon. But she pulled out before their first match, citing a wrist injury. British men's No.1 Jack Draper will also feature in the event, being partnered with Chinese star Qinwen Zheng. Elsewhere, Nick Kyrgios is set to team up with Naomi Osaka, while world No.1 Jannik Sinner partners Emma Navarro. There are also three All-American pairs: Jessica Pegula and Tommy Paul; Taylor Townsend and Ben Shelton; Frances Tiafoe and Madison Keys, and last year's mixed doubles champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori. US Open tournament director Stacey Allaster has been left delighted with the calibre of the entrants. She said: "The US Open has long strived to find innovative and new ways to make the game more accessible and entertaining for our fans. 'We believe that this reimagined US Open Mixed Doubles Championship will do exactly that, with the top men and women players in tennis competing side-by-side in a fast-paced, highly competitive format. "Being able to move this event to a place on the schedule where it is able to take center stage was very important, and with our broadcast partners fully bought-in, more fans than ever before, both in the U.S. and around the globe, will be able to enjoy this incredible competition."

Boris Becker snubbed by the BBC as tennis icon sees Wimbledon hopes end
Boris Becker has become synonymous with Wimbledon after winning the competition three times but the 57-year-old will not be involved as a BBC pundit this year after being jailed in 2022 for hiding assets amid his bankruptcy Tennis legend Boris Becker has been snubbed from BBC's Wimbledon punditry line-up, despite being allowed to apply for re-entry to the UK following his jail sentence in 2022. The 57-year-old was handed two-and-a-half years in prison for hiding £2.5million worth of asserts to avoid paying loans following his bankruptcy. Becker served just eight months of his sentence and was then deported from the UK, unable to attend matches at Wimbledon in that time. He has been able to apply to re-enter the country since October 2024 and was hopeful he could finally make his comeback to the All England Club, the place where he won three Wimbledon championships during his esteemed career. But according to the Daily Mail, BBC chiefs have swerved on plans to include Becker in their coverage team. READ MORE: John McEnroe shouted six-word message down the phone after Wimbledon champ sold trophies TNT Sports are also set to decline on the opportunity to use Becker in their broadcast of the tournament after securing rights to daily highlights of the Grand Slam. Becker will detail his struggles in prison in a new book that is set to be released in September. Earlier this year, he admitted he missed being part of Wimbledon coverage and was doing what he could to return to the UK. "I'm working hard with the authorities to have all the applications ready to be back for next year,' Becker said in April. "I miss Wimbledon. It's part of my life. It's in my DNA. I don't think anyone alive knows Wimbledon as well as I do. But let's see who I'm working for there. After October 2024, I can be given permission from the Home Office. They decide, I don't decide." It comes after the BBC also axed controversial tennis star Nick Kyrgios from their coverage this year, 12 months after he admitted assaulting ex-girlfriend Chiara Passari. Kyrgios was included as a pundit in the 2024 edition of the tournament, which led to widespread criticism following the incident from an argument with Passari in 2021. Sources close to the Australian insist that with him planning to enter the tournament as a player, he wouldn't have been able to be included as a pundit as well.
