Players to get ranking protection after freezing eggs

Female tennis players who wish to freeze eggs or embryos, so they can start a family at a later date, will have their ranking protected by the WTA Tour. The offer is open to any player ranked in the world's top 750 who spends more than 10 weeks out of competition. Advertisement The 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens says the rule will reduce the pressure on players to return to the court too quickly. The 32-year-old, who has won eight WTA tournaments, told BBC Sport she has twice previously used the off-season to freeze her eggs. "The first time I did it, I rushed back and I was overweight and not happy - and just very stressed out," she said. "The second time I did it I took a totally different approach so I could just be in better shape: I could have the surgery, I could have more time to recover. "So having the protected ranking there, so that players don't feel forced to come back early and risk their health again, is the best thing possible." Advertisement Players who undergo fertility treatment will be able to use their special ranking to enter up to three tournaments within 10 weeks of their return. The special ranking will be an average of a player's ranking over a 12-week period before and during their leave. Players will not, however, be able to use this ranking to enter one of the WTA's premier 1000 events, as the tour wants to encourage players to undertake the procedure at a quieter time of the season. "It's all trial and error, everyone's body is different," Stephens added. "Someone might be out for three months, someone might be out for one week. Advertisement "Some people gain a tonne of weight, some people can go back immediately. I think when you are family planning, it's better if you have that support." Stephens says she was a strong advocate for such a measure when a member of the WTA Players' Council, and the tour's chief executive Portia Archer confirms the move was player-led. "It was very much at the instigation of the players," she said. "We want to really help players address this conundrum where peak athletic performance coincides with the time period of peak fertility, so players are often faced with this tough choice of how to really maximise and optimise those years." Advertisement Grants have also recently been made available towards the cost of any fertility treatment, and earlier this year the WTA introduced paid maternity leave for the first time. More than 320 players are now eligible for up to 12 months paid leave - with everyone receiving the same amount, irrespective of their ranking. Returning to the tour after maternity leave started to become easier when the WTA changed the rules before the 2019 season. New mothers are able to use their previous ranking to enter 12 tournaments over a three-year period from the birth of their child. The WTA also offers access to a health team, which offers physical assessments, mental health support and guidance on a staged return to play for new mothers and pregnant players. Advertisement Tennis is not the first sport to offer support to women wishing to freeze their eggs, with the American basketball league the WNBA offering up to $60,000 (£52,500) reimbursement to players for fertility treatment including egg freezing. High-profile athletes have spoken about their decision to freeze their eggs, including England cricket captain Nat Sciver-Brunt and former England netballer Geva Mentor. 'Such a gift' - players react to ranking protection Australian Open champion Madison Keys welcomed the news, saying it will give players planning to start families additional peace of mind. Advertisement "It is absolutely amazing what the WTA is doing," she told BBC Sport. "We have all become really great at keeping our bodies healthy and being able to stay on tour longer and I know for a lot of us family planning is a big part of that. "Being able to have the security to take care of that, have that peace of mind and know we can come back to the tour without working our way up the rankings is such a gift." German Tatjana Maria, who is ranked 81st in the world, has two children and returned to the tour after both pregnancies. The 37-year-old welcomed the action by the WTA but says there are "still opportunities to help the WTA players and the mums on tour". Advertisement "Even now having two kids on tour there are still issues," she told BBC Radio 5 live. "The WTA could change a little bit, whether it is [related to] hotel rooms or accreditation to make life easier. "It is helpful to help [as they are doing] but also to help the mums on tour."

LIV Golf Star Beats Scottie Scheffler Before US Open

LIV Golf Star Beats Scottie Scheffler Before US Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler may be the hottest golfer on the planet right now, but when it comes to earnings, the crown goes to LIV Golf's Jon Rahm. The latest report suggests Rahm has beaten Scheffler heading into the U.S. Open, at least on the money list. Advertisement Scottie has been putting on one of the greatest performances in the PGA Tour and majors. He has won three out of 12 events, including the 2025 PGA Championship. The 28-year-old has yet to miss a cut this season. But when it comes to becoming the highest-paid golfer in the world, Scheffler unfortunately lost that crown to the Spaniard Rahm. According to Forbes' latest report of the world's highest-paid golfers, Rahm's reported earnings stand at $102 million. He collected only $10 million of it from off-course earnings courtesy of endorsement deals with Callaway, Rolex and Santander Bank. However, the rest of Rahm's astonishing $92 million comes from his on-course earnings through LIV Golf and majors. Jon Rahm stands atop the list of highest-paid pro golfers.© Geoff Burke-Imagn Images In his debut season with LIV Golf last year, Rahm won the tour's individual title, which earned him an additional $18 million bonus. He has yet to win an event this year. Meanwhile, Scheffler, the world's second-highest-paid golfer, has earned $97 million. He made $67 million from on-course earnings while the rest came from off the course. Advertisement Scheffler has endorsement deals with Nike, TaylorMade, Rolex and Veritex Community Bank. The three-time major winner has already accumulated $86 million in career earnings, behind only Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson in PGA Tour's all-time list. Scheffler also won the Memorial Tournament leading up to the U.S. Open. Though he may have lost the money battle to Rahm, Scheffler will look to balance things out by trying to win his maiden U.S. Open.

Evenepoel wins Dauphine stage four time trial to take lead

Belgium's Remco Evenepoel has taken the overall lead of the Criterium du Dauphine after victory in the time trial on stage 4. The reigning Olympic and world time trial champion beat nearest rival Jonas Vingegaard of Visma-Lease a Bike by 21 seconds on the 17.4km course. Advertisement Soudal-Quick Step's Evenepoel, considered to be the world's third best rider, will be competing against rivals Tadej Pogacar and Denmark's Vingegaard at the Tour de France next month. Reigning Tour champion Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates-XRG was a surprising 49 seconds down on the day to Evenepoel in a discipline in which the Slovenian is often peerless. Pogacar trails Evenepoel by 38 seconds in the general classification, with Vingegaard 16 seconds down in fifth place. Germany's Florian Lipowitz of Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe is second in the GC, four seconds down. "I'm very happy with this victory - the thousandth for the team," said Evenepoel after completing the course in his special Olympic gold helmet. "This one is for Patrick [Lefevere, former boss] - for everything he did for the team. Advertisement "I think in terms of [my] weight, it's already pretty good - much better than last year - I've been working super hard behind the scenes." The race, which takes place across the Dauphine region of south-east France, is the traditional warm-up for the Tour. Only four times in the last 10 editions has the overall winner gone on to be victorious in the Tour. Spaniard Ivan Romeo of Movistar lost the yellow jersey after victory on stage three, finishing one min 25 secs down to Evenepoel. The eight-day stage race moves on to Saint Priest on Thursday for a hilly 183km test to Macon. Saturday's stage is likely to see the most explosive action with three hugely steep hors category climbs in the French Alps to Valmeinier. Advertisement Stage four results 1.
