Vasek Pospisil to retire from tennis after Canada Open
'Eighteen years of professional tennis. Looking forward to playing in front of you one last time in Toronto,' the 35-year-old Pospisil posted on social media on Monday.
The Canadian paired with Jack Sock to lift the Wimbledon title in 2014, and was also part of Canada's national team that won the Davis Cup title in 2022.
He reached career-high rankings of No. 4 in doubles and No. 25 in singles.
'It's never easy making a decision like this,' he said. 'Tennis has been a huge part of my life, but it has become clear, both mentally and physically, that it's the right time to step away.'
The hard-court Masters event in Canada awarded Pospisil a wild-card entry.

A Couple Weeks And Gone! Tsitsipas Splits With Coach Ivanisevic After Brief Partnership
Last Updated: Stefanos Tsitsipas ended his coaching partnership with Goran Ivanisevic due to struggles with form and fitness. Tsitsipas aims to reset for Toronto. Stefanos Tsitsipas has ended his coaching partnership with Goran Ivanisevic, just weeks after the two joined forces in an attempt to revive the Greek star's struggling form. 'Working with Goran Ivanisevic was brief but an intense experience and a truly valuable chapter in my journey," Tsitsipas wrote in a statement posted to Instagram. 'I'm thankful for the time, effort and energy he dedicated to me and my team." A Short-Lived Coaching Experiment Tsitsipas, once ranked as high as world No. 3 and a two-time Grand Slam finalist, began working with the 2001 Wimbledon champion following his early exit at the French Open in late May. The decision came as part of a broader effort to arrest a concerning dip in form that saw him fall out of the top 20 in June. Despite the high-profile hire, the partnership yielded little success. Tsitsipas played under Ivanisevic's guidance at the ATP event in Halle and at Wimbledon, where he was forced to retire from his opening-round match due to a back injury, trailing by two sets against French qualifier Valentin Royer. 'As we are now following our separate ways, I have only respect for Goran—not just for what he's achieved in tennis, but also for who he is as a person," Tsitsipas added. 'I wish him nothing but the very best moving forward." Prior to their split, Ivanisevic offered a scathing assessment of Tsitsipas' professionalism, particularly in regard to his preparation and physical condition. Speaking to Serbian broadcaster Sport Klub, the Croatian coach did not mince words. 'I've talked to him a lot of times. If he solves some things outside of tennis, then he has a chance and he'll return to where he belongs, because he's too good a player to be out of the top 10," Ivanisevic said. 'But he wants to, and he doesn't do anything. All 'I want, I want,' but I don't see that progress… I was shocked. I have never seen a more unprepared player in my life. With this knee, I am three times more fit than him. This is really bad." Struggles at the Majors Continue The split underscores a period of uncertainty for Tsitsipas, who has reached only one Grand Slam quarterfinal in his last nine appearances—a stark contrast to the consistency he displayed earlier in his career. Now ranked outside the top 20, the 26-year-old will look to reset as he prepares for his next scheduled appearance in Toronto, where main-draw action begins on Sunday. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 18:18 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

IOA Ends Feud, Ratifies CEO Appointment and Forms Anti-Doping Panel
The Indian Olympic Association ratified CEO Raghuram Iyer's appointment and formed an anti-doping panel chaired by Rohit Rajpal after IOC concerns over India's doping record. In a significant step forward, the Indian Olympic Association's (IOA) Executive Council officially ratified the appointment of CEO Raghuram Iyer on Thursday and announced the formation of an anti-doping panel. The move comes after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) raised concerns over India's doping record during a recent visit by the IOA delegation to Lausanne, aimed at bolstering the country's bid to host the 2036 Olympic Games. Iyer's appointment, originally made by IOA President P.T. Usha in January 2024, had been stalled due to opposition within the council. The primary objection was his monthly salary of ₹20 lakh along with additional benefits. However, following the intervention of Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, the disagreement was resolved, allowing Iyer to be formally appointed. The newly established anti-doping committee will consist of seven members and be chaired by former Davis Cup player Rohit Rajpal. Other members include former badminton player Aparna Popat and sports medicine expert Dr. P.S.M. Chandran, among others. 'The IOC mentioned high doping cases in India when the IOA delegation visited Lausanne," said Iyer at a joint press conference held alongside IOA Executive Council members and Usha. India recently topped the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) 2023 testing data among countries that analyzed more than 5,000 samples. The country registered a 3.8% positivity rate for banned substances—a statistic that has drawn global scrutiny. After previously expressing reservations, the IOA has now welcomed the newly introduced National Sports Bill, which was tabled in Parliament on Wednesday. 'The IOC was concerned about two or three key issues, but the ministry consulted with the world body and other international federations before finalizing the bill," Usha said during the press conference. Once enacted, the legislation will establish a National Sports Board, which will have the authority to recognize national sports federations and regulate their funding. 'People should not view the National Sports Bill as interference by the Sports Ministry, but rather as a step toward cooperation and coordination among stakeholders, including the IOA and National Sports Federations (NSFs)," said IOA Joint Secretary Kalyan Chaubey. 'The new bill clearly states that in case of any conflict with the statutes of international federations, the latter's rules will take precedence," added Chaubey, who also serves as president of the All India Football Federation (AIFF).

Judge to rule in sexual assault trial that rocked Canadian hockey
Judge to rule in sexual assault trial that rocked Canadian hockey TORONTO: A Canadian judge is set to deliver a verdict Thursday in the trial of five professional ice hockey players on sexual assault charges, in a case that has shaken the national sport. The accused, who all previously played in the National Hockey League, stood trial over allegations they assaulted a woman in a hotel room following a June 2018 celebration for a national men's junior team. Michael McLeod, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube, Carter Hart and Callan Foote have denied wrongdoing, insisting the accuser, whose identity is protected, consented to a variety of sex acts. The complainant, 20 at the time, met McLeod at a bar in London, Ontario, before having sex with him. That initial encounter is not at issue in the trial, which is about events that occurred after McLeod messaged a team-wide group chat asking if anyone was interested in a "three-way." Prosecutors argued the players engaged in sex acts with the complainant without taking steps to ensure her consent. Defense lawyers said the woman willingly participated and only made the assault allegations after regretting her choices. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia will deliver her verdict from 10:00 am local time (1400 GMT) in front of what is expected to be a packed London courtroom. Criminal trials in Canada are often decided by a jury, but the case shifted to a judge-only trial after two juries were dismissed. Defining consent An initial police investigation into the allegations produced no charges. But subsequent media probes revealed Hockey Canada, a governing body, used funds from subscription fees paid by ordinary families for a $3.55 million CAD ($2.6 million USD) out-of-court settlement with the woman, forcing the resignation of Hockey Canada's leadership. London police, under a new chief, re-opened an investigation led by a female detective with expertise in sexual assault. The trial has been shaped by legal definition of consent which, in Canada, "has to be voluntarily and freely given, and it has to be contemporaneous with each and every sexual act," Western University law professor Melanie Randall told AFP. She dismissed the relevance of so-called consent videos made by McLeod, which were presented at trial. "The idea that you could film someone afterwards and say -- 'hey, this was all consensual, right?' -- to prove that there was consent is actually completely discordant with how consent is defined," Randall said. Hockey culture Some commentators have rejected claims the case exposed broader issues in hockey culture, arguing the sport remains a positive force for hundreds of thousands of young Canadians despite a disturbing incident involving several players. But Simon Darnell, a professor of sport for development and peace at the University of Toronto, told AFP "it would be a problem to say that these five men were somehow bad apples and that there's nothing systemic here." Regardless of whether the judge finds the players guilty, Darnell said the conduct in the hotel room needs to be addressed, urging more work to foster a sports culture that emphasizes "a positive form of masculinity."
