Madison Keys was the toast of tennis back in January when she won her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. Keys didn’t give a good account of herself at the WTA Finals and only played two matches after falling ill ahead of her last match. That said, she’s now a Grand Slam winner and will start 2026 inside the world’s top 10 as she bids to retain her title. Keys praised Iga Swiatek after losing to her in Riyadh, but she has actually proved that she can mix it with the big players and maintain a top 10 ranking. Lots of players are starting to finalise their early 2026 schedule, and Key...

LeBron James finally made his season debut for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night. James had missed the entire preseason and the Lakers’ first 14 regular season games due to a sciatica problem. He played almost 30 minutes on his return, putting up 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 12 assists in a 140-126 victory. The biggest talking point before the game was whether James’ introduction to the starting lineup would hamper Luka Doncic or Austin Reaves. And while the Lakers’ starting backcourt combined for 63 points, Reaves definitely had to adjust to playing alongside James a...

Ferrari won’t look back on the 2025 Formula 1 campaign fondly and will instead be forced to reflect on several key decisions they’ve made over the past 18 months. The signing of Lewis Hamilton should have been the catalyst needed to deliver Ferrari’s first championship since 2008. Instead, Ferrari’s drivers will almost certainly have to settle for fifth and sixth in the championship and will need plenty of good fortune if they’re going to end their wait for a Grand Prix victory. Charles Leclerc has secured all seven of Ferrari’s podiums in 2025, but it was clear from the Chinese Grand Prix tha...

Rory McIlroy won his first Green Jacket in 2025, but in reality, he should have won it much sooner. In 2011, at the age of 21, Rory McIlroy looked set to win his first major championship at Augusta National. He held a four-shot lead going into Sunday after shooting seven under on the first day, but what happened next would haunt him for the next 14 years. McIlroy’s lead was reduced to one after nine holes. He then triple-bogeyed the 10th, three-putted the 11th, and four-putted the 12th from inside 20 feet to throw away his advantage.
