Tennis icon Andy Roddick melts hearts with wife Brooklyn Decker in surprise Wimbledon 2025 entry
An unexpected event occurred at Wimbledon on July 6, 2025, but it didn't happen on the court. Fans turned their heads when two familiar faces, heretofore unseen, put in an appearance at the Royal Box.
Cameras were drawn, and whispers spread through the stadium. In this instance, it was a legendary former tennis player and his equally well-known wife, rather than a current player grabbing headlines.

enjoying the moment, they waved and grinned then quietly took their seats. For tennis fans and observers alike, it was quite unique that they hadn't been seen together in public for quite some time.
Andy Roddick and Brooklyn Decker spotted together at Wimbledon
42-year-old Andy Roddick and his partner, 38-year-old Brooklyn Decker, who were not often seen together, were spotted together at Wimbledon in London on Saturday.
Fans were excited to see them. Andy Roddick, a former professional tennis player, won the US Open in 2003 and competed in three Wimbledon finals in 2004, 2005, and 2009. He began his professional career in 2000 and ended it in 2012, and has not been seen much recently.
Brooklyn Decker is an actress who has starred in movies and television shows in addition to refraining from most public events. So, it makes sense that fans were so excited to see them at Wimbledon.

Jannik Sinner escapes upset as Grigor Dimitrov's injury sends him to quarterfinals

Everyone at #Wimbledon is wishing you a speedy recovery, Grigor Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 7, 2025As a result, a game which was heading towards a historic finish courtesy of Dimitrov's lion-hearted efforts against the world number one, had a tragic end, serving as a cruel reminder of the uncertainties of life.'Honestly, I don't really know what to say. Grigor is an incredible player—we all saw that today. He's been so unlucky over the past couple of years. Not only is he a great player, but also a good friend of mine. We understand each other very well off the court, too. Seeing him in this position is heartbreaking. If there were any chance for him to play the next round, he would absolutely deserve it,' said Sinner in his on-court interview.I don't take this as a win: SinnerFurthermore, the three-time Grand Slam winner said that he won't take it as a win and mentioned Dimitrov's struggles with injuries in the recent past.'But now, more than anything, I just hope he has a speedy recovery.

In the last few Grand Slams, he's struggled a lot with injuries, and to see him dealing with that again is very tough. His reaction today showed just how much he cares about the sport.

Trained by a Punjab cop in a Chandigarh park, Mandi's son Abhinash Jamwal punches his way to world silver
1 2 3 4 5 6 Chandigarh: Joginder Singh was a happy man on Monday. A Punjab Police assistant sub-inspector who trains budding pugilists for free at Chandigarh's Sector 2 Bougainvillea Garden, Joginder felt his dreams come true when Abhinash Jamwal (22) won the silver medal in the men's 65kg category at the World Boxing Cup in Astana, Kazakhstan. Abhinash's victory comes as a soothing balm for Himachal Pradesh's flood-ravaged Mandi — his home district. Abhinash's uncle, Rajesh Bhaduria, brought him to Chandigarh from his village, Barot in Mandi, at the age of 14 because the atmosphere at home was not conducive to his growth. "Once in Chandigarh, he took me to Joginder sir for training," says Abhinash, who studied at Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 28, Chandigarh. It was under Joginder Singh's watchful eyes that Abhinash learnt the basics of boxing and found his way into the system. Abhinash was a little under five feet tall when he started training under Joginder. "He is six feet now, just like Vijender Singh. He has worked really hard, and his success is a reflection of that," adds Joginder. "I personally feel like I have achieved something today." After training under Joginder and winning a silver medal at the National Junior Boxing Championship in 2018, Abhinash enrolled at the Sports Training Centre (STC) hostel in Mastuana Sahib, Punjab, which is part of the Sports Authority of India (SAI) regional centre in Chandigarh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 아픈 사람의 99%는 목이 뭉쳐있습니다. 더 알아보기 Undo 아픈 사람의 99%는 목이 뭉쳐있습니다. 더 알아보기 Undo 아픈 사람의 99%는 목이 뭉쳐있습니다. 더 알아보기 Undo 아픈 사람의 99%는 목이 뭉쳐있습니다. 더 알아보기 Undo There has been no looking back for Abhinash since then. He does not plan to rest on his laurels and is preparing for the World Boxing Championship this September. "I will be back to training at NIS, Patiala, once I return," he says. Abhinash, who finds inspiration from Indian boxers Shiva Thapa and Nishant Dev, says an Olympic gold is the ultimate goal. "I will be working twice as hard for the Asian Games, from where I hope to book a berth for the Olympics," he adds. For Joginder Singh, Abhinash was the true winner in the final bout at Astana. "But maybe that's because I'll always have a bias for my students," he says. "One thing is certain: he will reach the Olympics and do the impossible one day. He has come far from Barot, hasn't he?" adds Joginder. Abhinash, meanwhile, had a message for "his people" in Mandi. "I feel sad about what is happening there. I just want people back home to stay strong, as everything will be fine. God always has a plan," he says. God had a plan for Abhinash too.

New archery coach Rahul stresses on consistency
1 2 Kolkata: Rahul Banerjee missed out on winning an Olympic medal but now as the coach of the Indian women's recurve side he gets a second chance to fulfil a cherished dream. The former India archer will take the first step towards that goal in the Archery World Cup Stage 4 that begins in Madrid on Tuesday. "We have a good mix of experience and youth this time," Banerjee told TOI about the side. The team featuring Olympians Deepika Kumari and Ankita Bhakat along with Maharashtra's Gatha Anandrao Khadake and Sharvari Shende has a good blend of experience and youth. Banerjee, who has been training star couple Atanu Das and Deepika for almost a year now, becomes the second Olympian after Limba Ram to become the national coach. "As I have travelled the same path, I feel I am able to understand the archers better than a foreign coach," Banerjee said, adding that he has already prepared a roadmap to the Los Angeles 2028 Games.

But I feel more than the numbers we need consistency. Archery is all about maintaining your standard in all situations. A little here and there can harm your chances," Banerjee said. The Arjuna Award-winning archer is aware of the fact that India have not won a World Cup medal in women's team category since 2021. "With change in rules, the team will be more important in the LA Games and hence I will look to get the combination right," Banerjee said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo However, the 38-year-old Banerjee, brother of Olympian archer Dola, is focussing more on scores than medals in Spain. "I am looking at this World Cup as a preparation for the upcoming World Championship in Gwangju, Korea (Sept 5-12). The World Championship is a huge platform which tests not only an archer's skill but also his mental toughness. I have chalked out some points and want to see how our girls can implement those in the competition," he stated. Banerjee is also working with the team support staff at the national camp. "I feel results will come only if we are all on the same page. Hence I am regularly co-ordinating with the physio, psychologist and other people to prepare a wholesome programme for the archers," he pointed out.
