Things looked to have taken a turn in the right direction when future No. 1 Jimmy Connors made his Grand Slam breakthrough Down Under in 1974. But it would be almost a decade before the Australian Open became a true global event, when the likes of Ivan Lendl, Mats Wilander and John McEnroe landed on Australian shores in 1983. This necessitated the shifting of the tournament to a bigger arena for catering to the increased inflow of players and spectators alike....

Manuel Neuer has been included in the squad and will be given every opportunity to prove his fitness in Russia. With Germany having such a plethora of talent to choose their squad from, there is bound to have some high profile casualties. In this piece, we will take a look at five such quality players that have missed a chance to get on that plane to Russia: #5 Serge Gnabry (Hoffenheim) On loan at Hoffenheim from Bayern Munich, Serge Gnabry was one of the key members of the Julian Nagelsmann side....

Old Trafford has been home to some of the biggest names in world football over the years. This includes the likes of George Best, Eric Cantona, Sir Bobby Charlton, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo, to name just a few. However, a handful of notable names have also turned down the opportunity to ply their trades at Old Trafford over the years. On that note, let’s take a look at the five players who rejected moves to Manchester United....

In that time, the Spaniard has won the World Cup, the Euros, four Domestic cups and the UEFA Champions League. There aren’t many who have enjoyed more success than the 31-year-old and despite that success, the Spaniard is hungrier than ever before. Apart from his playing ability, Juan Mata is one of the nicest guys in football. All fans regardless of their allegiance seem to respect him and want to see the Spaniard do well in life....

However, things did not go as expected for the former Deportivo Alaves manager during his time at St Mary’s. Coming from a stunning season where he guided minnows Alaves to a 9th place La Liga finish, Mauricio Pellegrino only managed a pitiful 5 wins, 13 draws and 12 losses in 30 Premier League matches as Southampton manager. At the time of his dismissal, the team had dropped into the bottom three on the table after suffering a humiliating defeat against relegation fighting Newcastle United....

Interestingly, Brock Lesnar has enough enemies right now that Rollins could make some friends and have some help to overcome the beast whilst he is unable to compete himself. On the other end of the spectrum, there is the added fact that Lesnar isn’t actually expected to return to the company until WrestleMania season when he will be setting up for his match with Rollins, so WWE could allow The Kingslayer to step into a feud with someone else over the next few weeks....

AJ Styles may be the most ‘over’ performer currently on SmackDown Live. The only other performer who gets the reception that rivals the one he does (notable exception: Daniel Bryan) is Rusev! The crowd should be electric when the two men finally come to blows. How will this match eventually play out when the pay-per-view comes around? In this article, I will suggest 5 possible ways this could happen....

Given the ludicrous sums of money that have been spent on transfers in the last couple of years, the board at Chelsea must already be making contingency plans on how to best replace their Belgian star in the event that he does leave the club. Here are a few players who could replace Hazard long term at the club: #5 Thorgan Hazard (Borussia Monchengladbach & Belgium) Estimated Fee: €45m...

His run has been enjoyable though, and bringing back the United States Open Challenge that John Cena had massive success with is fun, but eventually, the fairytale reign has to come to an end. That may not happen at WrestleMania, but with so many more legitimate and better competitors out there, it can’t last for too long. So here are 5 options for Truth’s Open Challenge opponent at WrestleMania 35....

As good as Velasquez has been inside the Octagon, it seems like he has recently lost some ground in the Heavyweight Division. Velasquez made his highly anticipated return at UFC on ESPN: Ngannou vs. Velasquez in the main event clash against Francis Ngannou. Despite being away from the Octagon for almost 3 years, Velasquez was billed as the favorite, but it took Ngannou just 26 seconds to knock down the former UFC Heavyweight Champion....

This franchise has its roots in science fiction, but with the added elements of some very real world commentary, an aspect that could be explored as these films continue. Here are some predictions for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. RELATED: What the Next Planet of the Apea Movie Could Be About The previous trilogy in the franchise was centered around Caesar. The three films showed his life from before he was born, where his mother was captured in the wild, to then going and living with James Franco’s character and eventually becoming a free ape....

Pep Guardiola’s team were on a 18 game winning streak before they drew against Crystal Palace and are yet to be beaten in the league as the Citizens continue to assert their dominance every match-week. However, the Premier League has witnessed several seasons where the hunt for the crown ended much earlier than fans anticipated. Here are few of those campaigns where the Champions dominated the league completely: #5 2015/16 season - 10 points gap In a fairy tale Premier League season, Leicester City surprised everyone by winning the title comprehensively by a margin of 10 points in the table....

Of course, when it comes to his MMA career, it isn’t quite the same. While Lesnar does have a decent record inside the octagon, he has never been able to replicate his monstrous success from inside the squared circle. After all, there are people just as big and just as bad as Lesnar out there in the UFC. Now, CM Punk has made a less than successful transition from pro-wrestling to MMA and there’s no way he’s ever taking out someone like Lesnar in a real fight....

Underrated is probably the most qualitative word in the dictionary, to make a list of underrated players a huge part of the equation depends on the man who compiles the list (in this case, it’s me), so if you have an issue with the list comment below and I will happily ignore them. So without further ado #5 Kamil Glik With the performances of the Monaco team in the Champions League and in the Ligue 1, it is hard to imagine that a player didn’t get his due, but Kamil Glik is that player....

As far as players are concerned, a host of stars have delivered brilliantly for their teams this season....

While there is a steady crop of young talent that emerges from WWE’s developmental system, their skills are honed by the veterans in the business who steer and navigate them inside the ring, and through their careers. This is a tribute to the elder statesmen of WWE, men who live to entertain. Men who do not let their age slow them down, in their quest for glory. However, before we talk about the 5 oldest men in the company, here are a few honourable mentions....

Every major update introduces a list of balance changes to level the playing field for the entire player base. This results in some heroes getting a few nerfs to bring down their power levels regarding abilities or how they affect others in the lobby. Here are a few that seemingly require nerfs as Overwatch 2 makes its way through various updates in 2023. Note: This is not a Ranked list....

Barcelona don’t want to lose Ousmane Dembele on a free transfer Barcelona have reportedly shifted their focus to recouping whatever little amount they can of that €140 million they paid Borussia Dortmund to sign Dembele in 2017. The Catalans had just offloaded Neymar Jr. for €222 million and had enough money to sign two or three world-class players.
