END of a 'bittersweet, but grateful' career
Dale Steyn has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket, closing the curtain on a 20-year career in which he became South Africa's highest wicket-taker in Tests and arguably the country's greatest ever fast bowler. Steyn retired from the five-day game in 2019 but had been available for limited-overs cricket and hoped to play at the Twenty20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates later this year, though he had not featured in the team since February last year.
Murray gives Tsitsipas A match to remember
Former world number one Andy Murray went down fighting in the first round of the U.S. Open as third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas triumphed in a near five-hour contest on Monday. Tsitsipas won 2-6, 7-6(7), 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, even as Murray fumed over what he saw as the Greek's stalling tactics and said: "I lost respect for him."
