The WTA Tour has a long history of teen tennis prodigies, but there is currently just one teenager in the top 100. Mirra Andreeva, 17, is in her first WTA 1,000 final after beating Elena Rybakina in Dubai — but why does she stand alone? @cdeccleshare.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/607...

With Havertz, as well as legit debate about did Arsenal bring it on themselves, do also think the extra Jan European games were a real fucker. The fact that half of England’s Euro representatives have been completely decimated by injury this season suggests a bigger issue. 1/4

Another pretty crazy tennis refereeing dispute, with Reilly Opelka calling for Greg Allensworth to be suspended from the ATP Tour after penalising him for swearing. “The guy shouldn’t have a job or should be sidelined... maybe learn a thing or two.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/612...

It’s felt for a while like the Carabao Cup was a bit of a safety net for Ange, that it would be harsh to sack him while they were potentially so close to winning it. With it gone, and depending on what happens with Villa, seems like it all comes down to the Europa League… 1/3
