Twenty years after helping Spain win #DavisCup with his triumph over Andy Roddick, #Nadal will be there for his country one last time. In 2004, he was a promising prospect. In 2024, the whole world will witness the farewell of a living legend

Jack Draper is out of Queen's and will make his comeback from injury at Eastbourne a week later instead.

Means he will get to within a week of #Wimbledon without having played since 13 April.

Ben Stokes is a funny guy, isn't he?

[Wisden @WisdenCricket]

The ECB is currently investigating a breach of team protocols following England’s win in the first Test against New Zealand.

An ECB release stated: ‘Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson were present at a nightclub in the early hours of Monday morning when an incident took place. We are currently seeking further information, and an announcement regarding the squad for the second Test will be made in due course. The Cricket Regulator has been informed and we will provide a further update when possible.’

Late update (from my end): Defending champion Tatjana Maria qualified for the main draw of the Queen's Club Championships.

She faces Sakkari in the 1st round and the winner of that match takes on top seed Rybakina next.

[Nihit @nihitsachdeva28]

Tatjana Maria, who won last year's Queen's Club Championships as a qualifier and yet, didn't receive a main draw WC (all 4 went to British players) despite being the defending champion, faces a British opponent in the 1st round of qualifiers.

You can win all that is possible to win, many times over & be the greatest to walk the Earth but domestic violence perpetrators & abusers & dope cheats won't, shouldn't, mustn't be hailed or treated as 'champions' or role models. Nope. Never. #SorryNotSorry #Itiswhatitis

@vinayakkm Cilic it is!

Meddy is still in Top 10. Somehow.

[Nihit @nihitsachdeva28]

In both the ATP & WTA Rankings on Monday, the top 10 will feature five Major winners.

On the women's side, there will be 6 more between 11-50.

Amongst men, there will be just one between 11-50. Guess who?

Is it nerves or Chwalinska is experiencing some discomfort due to that heavily strapped thigh?

The serve has been a problem so far.
