Tennis injuries force Britain's Edmund to retire at 30
Kyle Edmund has been forced to retire at the age of 30 after going through a turbulent few years due to injuries, the former British number one said. Edmund, who rose to a career-high world ranking of 14 in October 2018 after winning his maiden ATP Tour title in Antwerp, also reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open that same year, becoming the second Briton since Andy Murray to achieve the feat in the Open Era. His second ATP title came at the 2020 New York Open. However, injuries derailed his career, forcing him to undergo knee surgeries in November 2020, March 2021 and May 2022. He also struggled with wrist, abdominal, hip and foot injuries. "To look at the journey and try and bite size it as much as possible is hard. It just felt right with things and my injuries in the past," Edmund posted on social media on Monday. View this post on Instagram A post shared by LTA (@lta) "Especially around 2020, 2021, I had three surgeries and I spent four or five years trying to come back and had ups and downs along the way." "But (I) never (was) fully able to get back to maybe my goal and my target. That was the main reason for the decision, but over the next weeks and months, it'll be a nice time to reflect, do different things, spend more time at home with family and just sort of appreciate the journey," he added in his announcement. Edmund most recently reached the final of an ATP Challenger Tour event in Nottingham in June.

Wimbledon diary: Leonardo DiCaprio in the crowd and Roger Federer's still got it
Fellow actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Rami Malek were in the Royal Box along with cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar, who 24 hours earlier had rung the bell to signal the start of play at Lord's. Meanwhile, Grigor Dimitrov gave an emotional update from his hospital bed following the sickening injury he suffered against Jannik Sinner on Monday evening. A post shared by Grigor Dimitrov (@grigordimitrov) Bulgarian 19th seed Dimitrov's Championships ended in heartbreaking fashion. The 34-year-old was leading world number one Sinner by two sets when he suffered a pectoral injury forcing him to retire. 'Recovery starts now, I'll see you all soon,' he wrote on Instagram. A post shared by LTA (@lta) Sonay Kartal promised to get a new tattoo after Wimbledon and ended up with two. A lightning design to mark the moment a clap of thunder greeted her when she first walked on to Centre Court, and the number 329 to remember her Billie Jean King Cup debut. Kartal became the 329th player to represent Great Britain in either the Davis Cup, the Billie Jean King Cup, the Wheelchair Tennis World Team Cup, the Olympics and the Paralympics. A post shared by Roger Federer (@rogerfederer) The 43-year-old enjoyed a crafty hit at his old stomping ground and looked for all the world as though he could probably still make the semi-finals, at least. A post shared by Lloyd Glasspool (@ British doubles star Lloyd Glasspool was asked if he and fiancee Sophia Maslin had set a date for their wedding. 'It's the Friday before Queen's,' he said. 'I really should know the date…' 'Right now I don't want to think about Sunday. I just want to enjoy this moment and that I've got to a third final in a row' – Carlos Alcaraz after reaching another Wimbledon final. Sunny with temperatures reaching 31 degrees, according to the Met Office.
