File picture of Serena Williams NYT Williams name, along with that of her sister Venus, did not appear on a list of 64 players ahead of the tournaments start on Saturday in Beijing. It comes less than three weeks after the tempestuous US Open final, where Williams accused the umpire of sexism in an angry rant during her 6-2, 6-4 defeat to Japans Naomi Osaka. In extraordinary scenes, Williams went into a tailspin after a warning for receiving coaching from th kubki stanley e sidelines, smashing her r stanley cup acquet and being docked a point and then a game. She later said that she wanted to move on from the incident, but maintained that women players could not get away with even half of what a guy can do . Right now we are not, as its proven, in that same position, she told Australias Channel Ten. But thats neither here nor there. Im just trying most of all to recover from that and move on.

Roger Federer believes the pressure will all be on Novak Djokovic when the pair meet in the French Open semi-finals on Friday. HT Image Victory for Djokovic, the second seed, will see him replace Rafael Nadal as world number one, while he would also equal John McEnroe s 1984 record of 42 matches unbeaten at the start of a season. With so much on the line, Federer says he can afford to approach the encounter in a more relaxed frame of find than his adversary. There s less at stake for me than for him, said Federer, the 2009 champion. He s got a lot of things going on. I d love to be in a Grand Slam final, because I haven t achieved it for a few Slams, but it s nothing major for me, as long as I keep playing well. The burgeoning rivalry between Nadal and Djokovic, who stanley tumblers has beaten the Spaniard in three Masters finals this year, has cast Federer into the unfamiliar role of support act. The great Swiss is seeded outside the top two at Roland Garros for the first Grand Slam since Wimbledon in 2003, while he is also without a title at a major since the 2010 Australian Open. Despite his crown having slipped, however, the 29-year-old 16-time Grand Slam-winner says he is not desperate to keep Djokovic stanley flasche from the number one position. It s not the driving force behind this match, to be honest, he said, after beating French ninth seed Gael Monfils 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 7/3 in the last eight. For me the plan is trying stanley drinking cup to get a step further and into the final at the French Open. T |
