Tennis-Serena to Make Much-Awaited Return at Queen’s Club Championships

Tennis-Serena to Make Much-Awaited Return at Queen’s Club Championships

June 1 (Reuters) – American great Serena Williams on Monday announced her ⁠long-anticipated ⁠return to competitive tennis following a prolonged ⁠absence at this month’s Queen’s Club Championships, as the 44-year-old reignited memories of ​her dominance over two decades. Williams, who won the last of her 23 Grand Slam singles titles in 2017 and has not competed ‌since the 2022 U.S. Open, received ‌a wildcard entry into the doubles draw, the London-based club said in a statement. She posted a video on social ⁠media in which ⁠she was shown walking off a tennis court to her buzzing phone. “Guess everybody ​heard the news,” she said, while the post had the caption: “Good news travels fast.” Speculation around Williams’ return had intensified after she was cleared to officially enter tournaments after rejoining the tennis anti-doping testing pool last year. “Queen’s Club feels like the perfect place ​to begin this next chapter,” former world number one Williams, now a mother of two daughters, said in ⁠the ⁠statement. “Grass has given me some ⁠of the most ​meaningful moments of …

Michal Cizek/AFP via Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Michal Cizek/AFP via Getty Images Has the end of the Winter Olympics left a rink-sized void in your heart? If so, good news: the ISU Figure Skating World Championships are now underway. This year’s competition, held in Prague, began on Wednesday and ends on Saturday. Much like the Olympics, it features two days of competition in each of the four disciplines: women’s, men’s, pairs and ice dance. It’s the last major event of the 2025-2026 figure skating season, offering athletes one more shot at a title and, in some cases, post-Olympics redemption. Many Olympians, including American gold medalist Alysa Liu, and reigning ice dance world champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates, withdrew from worlds after medaling in Milan, which is not unusual. But other fan-favorites, like Amber Glenn and Ilia Malinin, are aiming to make this podium after missing out in Italy. Competition kicked off with the women’s …

Manyonga named in South Africa team for World Indoor Championships

Manyonga named in South Africa team for World Indoor Championships

March 16 : Former Olympic long jump silver medallist Luvo Manyonga will end a seven-year international hiatus after being selected in the South African delegation to compete in the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland this month. Manyonga, 35, won a silver medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games and is regarded as one of South Africa’s most gifted athletes, but has received two doping bans in his career.  He has admitted to recreational drug addiction and in December 2024 completed a four-year ban for failing to provide anti-doping officials with sufficient information to complete drug testing.  He remains determined to put himself in the frame for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, however, and this year has jumped a best of 8.11 meters, placing him 17th in the world. “I think I have another Olympics in me because in those four years I was out, it was like a car was parked, not being used,” he told South Africa’s Eyewitness News last year. Manyonga’s silver medal in Rio was a remarkable tale …

Figure Skating-Olympic champion Liu withdraws from world championships

Figure Skating-Olympic champion Liu withdraws from world championships

March 8 : U.S. Olympic champion Alysa Liu has withdrawn from the upcoming World Figure Skating Championships, the 20-year-old said on social media on Sunday. Liu became the first American woman since 2002 to capture Olympic gold in women’s singles at the recent Milano Cortina Games. The championships are scheduled in Prague from March 24-29. “As some of yall already know, I withdrew from Worlds,” Liu wrote on Instagram.  “There’s been a lot of exciting things happening since my return from Milan, so I’m taking some time for that … see yall next season,” she added, without explaining further. Liu had been expected to defend her crown after winning the 2025 world title in Boston, becoming the first American since 2006 to claim the championship. That victory also marked a remarkable comeback, following her brief retirement after the 2022 Beijing Games. U.S. Figure Skating said Sarah Everhardt would replace Liu on the American team for the championships. Liu, who also helped the U.S. to gold in the Olympic team event, is the latest high-profile skater …

Dubai Tennis Championships 2026 tennis order of play and TV coverage

The Dubai Tennis Championships 2026 will serve up top-tier hard court action in the final weeks of February, with some of the world’s best strutting their stuff at the Aviation Club Tennis Centre. The WTA 1000 tournament has reached its final throes – tonight’s final will see the USA’s Jessica Pegula taking on Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina to decide the overall winner. This comes after they eliminated Amanda Anisimova and Coco Gauff, respectively, in Friday’s semi finals. But, of course, the action doesn’t end when the women’s tournament wraps up. The ATP 500 event begins next week and will see British No. 1 Jack Draper back on court after spending the majority of 2026 sidelined with injury. The biggest names are missing and World No.7 Félix Auger-Aliassime is the top seed, which must have Draper eyeing a winning return to the tour. Plenty, then, for tennis fans to get excited about and extensive coverage on Sky Sports throughout both the WTA and ATP tournaments. Radio Times brings you the full order of play for the Dubai …
