Whoa it’s all happening down under!
Just one day before his first-round Australian Open singles match today, Nick Kyrgios withdrew yesterday and will undergo surgery on a knee injury.
“I’m devastated obviously. It’s my home tournament and obviously winning the tournament in doubles and playing the best tennis of my life probably.
All I can do is my best to come back … It’s brutal,” he said in a hastily-arranged press conference yesterday afternoon.
And yesterday morning – Rugby Australia dropped a bomb, announcing that Eddie Jones would be returning as Wallabies Head Coach and that Dave Rennie’s time was over.
“It is a major coup for Australian Rugby to have the best coach in the world return home to coach the iconic Wallabies,” AR Chairman, Hamish McLennan said.
“Eddie instinctively understands the Australian way of playing rugby – this represents an opportunity to secure a coach of immense expertise and experience at the biggest competitions, and we did not want to miss it,” McClennan added.
In rugby league – Stephen Crichton has had enough, so yesterday he dropped a bomb on the Panthers announcing he would be gone in 2024.
Despite an increased NRL salary cap the Panthers have stuffed him around. The 22-year-old will now likely field much larger offers from rival Clubs up to A$900,000 per season.
And the possible suitors – Dolphins, Bulldogs and the Tigers.
Meanwhile England enforcer, Billy Vunipola will leave the Premiership following the Rugby World Cup in France later this year. Unconfirmed reports suggest that the tough Saracens back rower will move to either France or Japan.
However, don’t rule out him turning up in Super Rugby or the NRL.
In boxing – Australian boxing, brothers Tim and Nikita Tszyu may finally fight together on the same card if a WBO world title fight comes to Australia early in 2023 with Tim challenging for the WBO interim super welterweight title against either undefeated Russian Bakhram Murtazaliev or American Tony Harrison in Australia in March.
