McGuire unhappy with 'pathetic' refereeing in loss
Castleford Tigers head coach Danny McGuire believes his side were on the wrong end of "pathetic" and "horrific" refereeing decisions in Saturday's Super League defeat by former England and Great Britain international was upset about calls which went against his team in a narrow 26-20 home loss to the 42, was annoyed by an unpunished challenge on Alex Mellor which left the Tigers skipper needing strapping to his add to his ire, Cas had a 63rd-minute try ruled out for a knock forward when leading 16-12, and moments later, a Tigers turnover of possession on halfway was overturned by a successful captain's challenge."Some of the decisions tonight were pathetic," McGuire told BBC Radio Leeds."The standard of officiating and some of the stuff that's going on, it's getting worse."Bring back some of the older guys, like (Richard) Silverwood, (Steve) Ganson and (Russell) Smith and people like that. At least they had some guts about them."He added: "Some of the calls were horrific and it's been consistent for us this year. We don't get the calls."Sometimes that's because you're not a dominant team, so we do get some tough calls."The eight-time Super League winner said he was "not bothered" by the potential of disciplinary action over his post-match comments."I don't care if they fine me, I'll pay them back a pound a week, but it's just not good enough and it's consistently not good enough," he said."You ask questions and they just fob you off with pointless answers, so it's a waste of time investing any energy in asking questions about calls because they just fob you off."

‘I get what I deserve': Sabalenka says TikTok dance helped clear the air with Coco Gauff
Winning Wimbledon is hard enough to do when everything's going swimmingly off the court as well as on it. When something is rumbling beneath the surface, focusing on the job in hand can be almost impossible. So it was perhaps no surprise that Aryna Sabalenka chose to clear the air with Coco Gauff after the world No 1's harsh words in the wake of her painful loss to the American in the final of the French Open this month. Claiming it was 'the worst final that I ever played', Sabalenka said she had lost the match rather than Gauff winning it and, most insultingly of all, that had Iga Swiatek, the four-time French Open champion, beaten her in the semi-finals at Roland Garros, she would also have beaten Gauff in the final. Sabalenka apologised to Gauff privately and here this week, in true Sabalenka style, it was repeated by means of a TikTok dance, with the caption: 'TikTok dances always had a way of bringing people together.' But the détente was also wise for both women as they each try to win Wimbledon for the first time. 'I did what I did. I get what I deserve, I believe,' Sabalenka said, referring to the media fallout 'I didn't want to offend her. I was just completely upset with myself and emotions got over me. I completely lost it. Of course she's got my respect. She knows it. I'm happy that she was, like: 'Yeah, it's all good, don't worry.'' Gauff, who can become the first woman since Serena Williams in 2015 to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year, was happy to move on. 'Obviously some people were critiquing what she said in the speech,' Gauff said. 'I didn't really care about any of that because I know how it feels. I understand what she was trying to say. It was a terrible condition day. I don't think I was playing well either, so I understood where she was coming from with that. Some of the stuff that was said in the press, I think I was a bit more surprised about. 'I'm not someone to hold a grudge. I was talking to my circle about it. I was like: 'If she apologises I will be fine and we'll move on.' She did and she did again when I saw her before we practised [together, at Wimbledon]. It's water under the bridge. I know Aryna. We got along pretty well anyways before all that happened. It wasn't very hard to accept that apology.' As the top two seeds at Wimbledon, Sabalenka and Gauff could find themselves on either side of the net in the final. 'I would love to face Coco,' Sabalenka said. 'Hopefully I will win, then it doesn't matter what I'm going to say. But I don't want to lose to show that, guys, I learned the lesson. In this [way] maybe I don't want to see Coco if I make it to the finals. But if she's going to be there, I'm happy because I want to get revenge.' Theirs is not the only spat that has had tongues wagging lately. More than two months after Harriet Dart asked the umpire in Rouen to tell her opponent, Lois Boisson, to put on some deodorant because she 'smells really bad', the Briton had to answer more questions about the incident on Saturday, admitting the adverse publicity had hurt. 'I'd be lying if [I said] it didn't affect me a little bit,' Dart said, alluding to 'difficulties' off court. 'We all make mistakes and I just tried to look forward. I don't know why we're still talking about this, it's been months now. I feel like I answered a lot of the questions that were asked of me and that's it. I really just want to put it behind me.'

"I have to keep reminding myself that this is still a really special place and not to take it for granted."Coming in as a wildcard last year I was in complete awe and, to be honest, I still am. I get goose bumps when I walk in the gates." Fearnley will experience another show court this time as he gets ready to open against the much-hyped teenager Joao 18-year-old Brazilian has beaten Fearnley in both of their previous encounters, most recently at Indian Wells in March."There's a reason why everyone talks about him," said Fearnley. "He's earned that respect from all the players"It's going to be a difficult match, playing on Court One. It doesn't get much better than that." Fearnley has been practicing with Jack Draper at the All England Club, with the pair good friends from their time on the junior goes into the tournament as the fourth seed, with Fearnley Great Britain's number two in the rankings."We all look up to Jack and what he's done, with the rise he's had from where he was," said Fearnley. "It's very inspiring for a guy like me."I'm just trying to keep improving. Hopefully, one day I can be where Jack is but the way he goes about his business is hard to follow. He's very professional and the level he's playing is really high."Fearnley enjoyed wins over Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the juniors but has taken a different path from those superstars of the prior to his first appearance at Wimbledon, he graduated from Texas Christian University (TCU) in the United States, having spent five years playing college tennis."I felt I only reached my college peak after my fifth year," he explained."It's a time when you can mature and figure out what your priorities are. I realised tennis is what I want to do and I then put all the eggs in one basket."
