French Open 2017 Immortality Awaits With Nadal Primed To Make History In Paris

Many have tried, but never before has one player won the same grand slam title on 10 occasions. Only the great Martina Navratilova has come close with nine Wimbledon crowns. Three years ago you would have expected Nadal to have already completed the astonishing feat, however his form dipped dramatically as knee and back injuries plagued the Spaniard. A quarter-final exit to Novak Djokovic in 2015 was understandable but his third-round withdrawal 12 months later began to put doubts into people’s minds....

French Open Men S Final Preview Rafael Nadal Vs David Ferrer

(3) Rafael Nadal vs (4) David Ferrer – H2H Nadal leads 19-4 (16-1 on clay) You would have to be a brave man to bet against Rafael Nadal winning an eighth French Open title in Paris on Sunday. And that has as much to do with Nadal’s overwhelming track record at Roland Garros as it has to do with his opponent’s underwhelming track record at the major tournaments. For all the consistency that Ferrer has displayed over the years on the tour (he’s been ranked between 4 and 6 for every week in the past two years and in the top 10 since October 2010), he will be playing his first Grand Slam final and has only one Masters Series title to his name....

French Police Push Parliament To Pass Law Guaranteeing Jail Time For Killing An Officer

Police want more than promises from French President Emmanuel Macron, who is expected to run for re-election in 2022. He has put security high on his agenda, but police want a guaranteed 30-year prison sentence for anyone convicted of killing an officer. Police also are calling for a law that guarantees jail time for those who assault them, and they want a justice system that punishes the small-time offenders they arrest and re-arrest after courts set them free....

Fretting Over Fedal Are We Prepared For The Day When Federer And Nadal Stop Enthralling The World With Their Magic

But that kind of obsessive caution, that fear of change, is thrown out of the window when it comes to the careers of star athletes. A player who is winning titles is expected to keep soaring high above the field forever. And a player who is struggling for form is relegated to the also-rans’ bin faster than a John Isner serve. In 2013, scores of people kept questioning why Roger Federer hadn’t announced his retirement yet....

Frightening Study Shows Potential Impact Of Not Getting Enough Sleep

Sleep has long been known to be associated with overall health. The U.S. National Institutes of Health states that good sleep improves brain performance and that lack of quality sleep regularly raises the risk of many diseases and disorders, including heart disease, stroke, obesity and dementia. However, the association between sleep duration and multimorbidity—the presence of multiple diseases or conditions—is poorly understood, researchers say. To investigate this, researchers examined decades-old data from the landmark Whitehall II cohort study, which was a large study conducted between 1985 and 1988 to examine the health of over 10,000 people employed in the British civil service....

From Fans Target To Talisman Benzema Is Karim Of The Crop After Real Madrid Renaissance

But Benzema remarkably sliced his first-time effort over the crossbar from about seven yards when it appeared impossible to miss – Madrid’s fans held up their infamous reputation and rained a torrent of jeers down on the much-maligned Frenchman. It had become par for the course with Benzema, who was relentlessly whistled by his own supporters through the 2017-18 campaign. But this time Cristiano Ronaldo took a stand, wagging his finger disapprovingly at those responsible before seeming to sarcastically applaud the fans behind ‘Gol Sur’....

In case you didn’t know… In recent weeks there has been a build-up of speculation about whether Bryan will leave the WWE when his contract with the company is up. This has been caused by Bryan’s desire to return to the ring as an active wrestler, which he can’t do in the WWE because WWE doctors haven’t cleared him for in-ring competition due to his repetitive concussions. Bryan himself has fanned the flames of these rumours by openly expressing his ambition to appear in hair vs mask matches in Mexico whilst doing a livestream Q&A with his wife Brie Bella....
