Ex-Tottenham player Bentaleb back training with Lille after cardiac arrest

  • Coach of the Ligue 1 side, Bruno Genesio, said Bentaleb resumed individual training a few days ago
  • Bentaleb collapsed on June 18 while playing a five-a-side match with friends, French media reported at the time

LILLE: Nabil Bentaleb, the former Tottenham and Algeria midfielder who suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest less than seven months ago, is back training with his club Lille.
Coach of the Ligue 1 side, Bruno Genesio, said Bentaleb resumed individual training a few days ago with a physical trainer and started practicing with the ball on Monday.
“I’ve seen him, and spoken to him for the past two or three days. He’s in good spirits, he’s motivated,” Genesio said.
Bentaleb collapsed on June 18 while playing a five-a-side match with friends, French media reported at the time. At Lille University Hospital, he was put into an artificial coma before being fitted with a pacemaker-defibrillator days later.
The 30-year-old Bentaleb is hopeful he will be able to resume his career, following in the footsteps of Christian Eriksen. The Danish playmaker, who collapsed because of cardiac arrest during a European Championship game in June 2021 and had a type of pacemaker fitted, has made a full recovery and plays in the Premier League with Manchester United.
Bentaleb joined Lille in 2023, returning to the club where he honed his skills as a youngster. He was born in the northern French city and trained at the club academy after his talent was spotted when he was just 10 years old.
After being released, he started his senior career in the Premier League with Tottenham, where he made more than 60 appearances, then joined German side Schalke. Bentaleb also played for Newcastle and Angers.


Moyuka Uchijima is living a dream – at least that’s how she described it

Moyuka Uchijima is living a dream – at least that’s how she described it

  • With a little help from Kei Nishikori, Moyuka Uchijima hits new heights in Madrid
  • Ons Jabeur’s conqueror reaches maiden WTA 1000 last-16

Moyuka Uchijima is living a dream – at least that’s how she described it. 

In the last few days at the Madrid Open, the Japanese world No. 56 defeated her favorite player Ons Jabeur in the second round before claiming the first top-10 win of her career over world No. 3 Jessica Pegula on Sunday. 

This time last year, Uchijima was ranked 130 in the world, which wasn’t high enough for her to get into the draw in Madrid. 

She was instead grinding on the lower-level ITF circuit, and about to go on a 15-match winning streak, sweeping three consecutive titles – in Japan, Slovakia, and Spain – in as many weeks. 

 

 

That run earned her a place in the top 100 for the first time, and the 23-year-old hasn’t looked back since, rising to a career-high 51 in the world earlier this month. 

With wins against Robin Montgomery, and 2022 Madrid finalists Jabeur and Pegula, Uchijima punched her ticket to the last-16 stage at a WTA 1000 tournament for the first time. She’ll take on 21st-seeded Ekaterina Alexandrova for a place in the quarterfinals on Monday evening. 

“I'm just really, really happy. It's my first Masters 1000 round of 16, and I still cannot believe it, I'm in a dream kind of,” Uchijima said in an interview with Arab News and wtatennis.com. 

“I know Jessica is a really, really great player, so I was just really happy to share a court with her, but to get a win is something really, really special for me.”

Uchijima entered her third round against Pegula with a 0-6 record against top-10 opposition, including a tight third-set tiebreak loss to Coco Gauff in Indian Wells last month. 

 

 

She lost in similar fashion to a 15th-ranked Mirra Andreeva at the Australian Open early in the year. 

Those two close defeats gave Uchijima the belief she was at the same level as these top players; she just needed to get over that final hump and close out victories. 

She did just that against Jabeur and Montgomery, rallying back from a set down, and was clinical in her straight-sets win over Pegula. 

“I just try not to think about the score, because when you think you have a chance, then you start to get nervous,” explained Uchijima. “So this week, I'm just trying to, even first round, I was getting killed by Robin Montgomery, she is also a great player; I just try not to think during the point too much and just enjoy the moment and just try to do what I can do at that moment.”

She added: “Ons is one of my favorite players, and I'm always watching her on TV.

“And Jessica as well. Obviously, they've always been on top in the WTA Tour, so it's kind of a dream that I'm playing against them and actually able to win some matches.”

Jabeur, the Tunisian former world No. 2, plays a unique brand of tennis that Uchijima finds particularly exciting to watch, albeit when she’s not on the receiving end of it. 

“It's just she's different,” said Uchijima. 

“She plays a style that is different than a lot of players, so I hate to play against her because she uses a lot of drop shots, so I have to run more, but to watch is really, really interesting because you don't see a lot of players like the way she plays, so it's just really fun to watch.”

Uchijima was born in Kuala Lumpur to a Japanese father and Malaysian mother. She moved around with her family for a few years before settling in Tokyo when she was around eight years old. 

On her way to elementary school every day, she would pass by a tennis court at her father Kazuto’s workplace. Uchijima did swimming and basketball at the time, but when she picked up tennis, she enjoyed it way more than the monotony of swim practice and the running drills in basketball. 

She forced her sister, who did ballet and gymnastics, to join her during tennis practice and was doing it for fun until she realized she was actually good at it by the age of 13. 

Uchijima’s current training base is Guangzhou, where she gets to spend her preseason hitting with the likes of Zheng Saiai and Zhu Lin. 

“A lot of those girls, they've been top 30, top 20, so they gave me a lot of tips, and they always support me from wherever,” she said. 

“We are far away from each other, maybe not playing the same tournament, but if we play the same tournament, we still support each other, and yeah, of course, my coaches, they're helping me a lot.”

This week in Madrid, Uchijima received some priceless advice from her compatriot Kei Nishikori, who she grew up watching and idolizing. The 35-year-old Nishikori is a former world No. 4 and the only man representing an Asian country to reach a Grand Slam final (US Open 2014). 

He contested the men’s tournament in Madrid this week, losing to Denis Shapovalov in the second round, and Uchijima cannot believe that after all these years, she gets to be at the same event as her idol. 

“We went to the Olympics together last year, so I got to know him more there,” said Uchijima. 

“I was watching him on TV, so it's just crazy, you're actually living the same life, same place. 

“I don't have a lot of experience here, playing in Madrid, where this a little bit of altitude, and a little bit different conditions, and Kei played here many, many years, and I think he was runner-up here (in 2014), so he gave me some tips. Actually, after the first round match, he gave me some tips, so I guess it's working.”

Years after Li Na and Nishikori paved the way, Japan’s Naomi Osaka exploded onto the scene, winning four Grand Slams and becoming Asia’s first ever singles world No. 1. 

More recently, China’s Zheng Qinwen reached the Australian Open final in 2024 and clinched the gold medal at the Paris Olympics. Filipina teenager Alex Eala made a historic run to the semifinals in Miami last month. 

Asian tennis is booming and Uchijima is keen to write her own chapter in its story. 

“I think it's a really, really great thing,” she said. 

“For me, I grew up watching Kei Nishikori and Naomi, for the most part, but yeah, Alex in Miami, what she has done was really, really incredible, and of course, I got a lot of motivation from her, and also from Olympics last year, when Zheng Qinwen won the gold, first Asian to win a gold. 

“So yeah, of course, I got a motivation from her that even we can do it, so I don't know, hopefully, I can be a little part of it, and give some dreams for the younger players, not only in Japan, maybe in Asia. Because that's how I look up, watching Kei and Naomi, so I can hope I can do the same for the younger generation.”

Uchijima grew up playing on hard courts and artificial grass in Japan but says she started to find her game on clay last season and realized the red dirt is probably the most suited to her playing style. 

With a quarterfinal spot on the line for Uchijima on Monday, she’s focusing on the task at hand and doesn’t want to get distracted by her achievements so far at the Caja Magica. 

“It gave me confidence, but there's a lot of things still I can improve from today's match, so just trying to improve day by day,” she said. 

After competing at a lower-level tournament at a different site in Madrid 12 months ago, Uchijima’s time at the WTA 1000 in the Spanish capital this week has been a significant upgrade. 

“Good food, good courts, a good facility – I'm just enjoying it and everything,” she says with a smile.


Joaquin Niemann wins LIV Golf Mexico City with stellar final round

Joaquin Niemann wins LIV Golf Mexico City with stellar final round

  • Niemann began his day two shots off the lead, but three birdies on his first seven holes put him in an enviable position

Joaquin Niemann was virtually flawless Sunday, firing a 6-under-par 65 at Club de Golf Chapultepec to earn his third championship of the season at LIV Golf Mexico City.
Niemann began his day two shots off the lead, but three birdies on his first seven holes put him in an enviable position. He added birdies on Nos. 10, 12, 16 and 18 to finish three strokes in front of the field at 16 under for the tourney.
The win came in front of family and friends.
“Yeah, it’s special,” Niemann said. “My mom came all the way. I think the first time my mom has seen me win, so that’s pretty cool. So yeah, I had my mom here, Didi, my wife, my friends, my team. It’s been a really good couple months, so yeah, happy.”
The Torque GC captain from Chile had one bogey, on the 14th.
Following his third tournament win, Niemann remains in the lead for the individual season-long championship, a title that narrowly evaded him in 2024 as he finished second to Jon Rahm.
He also locked in a spot at the US Open in June.
“Yeah, it’s nice,” Niemann said. “I feel like I wanted to be there (at the US Open), so yeah, it’s great to keep doing what I’m doing, hitting the ball great, making putts, and yeah, hopefully keep it rolling.”
The 26-year-old was barely pressed late, with the best charge coming from the incredible round turned in by Ripper GC’s Lucas Herbert, a 10-under 61 beauty that featured an eagle and eight birdies.
Herbert essentially ran out of runway to complete the comeback, coming into the day too far behind the leaders to catch up. However, he did help Cameron Smith’s (72) Ripper squad finish in second in the team standings, behind Jon Rahm’s (68) Legion XIII.
“Just one of those rounds where everything comes together,” Herbert said. “I thought I played pretty decent the last two days, I just didn’t get many breaks, and I just felt like today every time there was a line ball sort of thing I got the right kick and I’d make a putt where I needed to or just anything — just that sort of stuff. It just kept the momentum going through the round.
“Look, I played great, really enjoyed feeling everything I felt the last few holes, but it’s just one of those rounds where it all just clicks for you, and it was a pretty cool feeling to do it at an event like this.”
Bryson DeChambeau, leading the pack coming into the day, was attempting to go wire-to-wire but came up well short with a final-round 71 and had to settle for a tie for second with Herbert at 13 under.
Rahm was fourth among individuals at 12 under, while Smith and Legion’s Tyrrell Hatton (68) finished in a tie for fifth (11 under).
“It’s pretty hard to make it more special than this moment right now,” Niemann said. “I mean, this place is amazing. It was a good battle with Bryson, with Cam, so I’m happy to be in this position right now.”
Torque finished the tournament in third place, while 4Aces was fourth.


With the ‘Big Three’ era firmly behind us, will we ever witness that level of unrelenting dominance again in tennis?

With the ‘Big Three’ era firmly behind us, will we ever witness that level of unrelenting dominance again in tennis?

  • Physicality of the game, increasingly taxing schedule, and tight competition level mean a wider pool of players are sharing the spoils at the big events 

It was standing room only at Carlos Alcaraz’s press conference last Wednesday at the Caja Magica, where the Spaniard announced he was withdrawing from the Madrid Open due to two separate injuries in his right and left legs. 

After winning Monte Carlo and reaching the final in Barcelona in consecutive weeks, playing 10 matches in 12 days, the four-time Grand Slam champion’s body had had enough. 

With the French Open just four weeks away, it made sense that Alcaraz would choose to sit out the Madrid Open and deal with his right adductor and left hamstring issues. 

Last year, a forearm injury limited Alcaraz to just one clay-court tournament in the build-up to the French Open, forcing him out of Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome. He still went on to triumph in Paris, defeating Alexander Zverev in the final of the French Open. 

The five biggest clay-court tournaments of the spring last season – Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros – were won by five different players. 

This clay swing so far, Alcaraz won Monte Carlo and Holger Rune won Barcelona. Neither will win Madrid this fortnight, with the former withdrawing from the tournament and the latter retiring one-set into his opener with a right knee injury on Friday. 

Long gone are the days where Rafael Nadal would routinely sweep four spring tournaments on the red clay – something he pulled off in nine different seasons. 

Or the years where Roger Federer would run away with the last three to five tournaments of the year, then start the new season with another undefeated stretch, like that time he built a 41-match winning streak that included seven consecutive titles from August 2006 to March 2007. 

Novak Djokovic once won the first 43 matches of the year (2011), suffering his first defeat of the season in the Roland Garros semi-finals early June. 

In 2015, the Serb swept Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo and Rome, before reaching the French Open final (notching 27 wins in a row), then won Wimbledon. He finished that season by winning the last five tournaments, clinching all silverware from the US Open onwards. 

That is just a glimpse of the kind of dominance the fabled ‘Big Three’ were able to demonstrate since they broke through on the professional circuit, all the way into their mid-30s. 

Those extended unbeaten runs they pulled off required stratospheric levels of mental and physical strength, and they did it so often we almost forgot how extraordinary it all was. 

As a new era in tennis unfolds, headlined by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, it’s becoming more and more apparent just how difficult those long winning streaks put together by the ‘Big Three’ actually were. 

Both Sinner and Alcaraz have shown an incredibly high caliber of tennis from a young age and have been sharing the spoils at most of the big events since the start of last season. 

Sinner, who is currently serving a three-month antidoping ban, will return to action next month carrying a 21-match winning streak that started last October in Shanghai. 

Alcaraz went 14 matches unbeaten on two occasions, in 2022 and 2023. 

Still, it’s difficult to imagine the current generation producing the kind of runs we witnessed during the ‘Big Three’ era, for a number of reasons. 

Former world No. 1 Andy Murray, who is currently coaching Djokovic, believes extending ATP Masters 1000 events to 12-14 days as opposed to their typical one-week slots has made it harder for players to sweep such tournaments back-to-back. 

“I think just because of the longer events now, I think it's harder to do that,” Murray said in an interview with Arab News and Tennis Majors in Madrid this week. 

“I preferred how it was before because, it probably allowed you to play more matches in a condensed period, but then you had more time to rest and recover, whereas now the rest and recovery happens at tournaments and that's not the normal rest.

“Physically and mentally, it's not the same because you come into the courts, you practice, you're around lots of people.

“As much as I know it's nice like to be here playing but it's a stressful environment when you have lots of people and cameras and everything watching your practices rather than having a quiet environment where you can work on things and practice in peace is a bit different.”

Grigor Dimitrov was a ‘Big Three’ contemporary for many years and is still competing at a high level at the age of 33, currently ranked 16 in the world. 

The Bulgarian believes the tour right now is “taxing on the body”, irrespective of how old or young you are. 

“These two-week events, it's just difficult however you look at it and there's always going to be a moment where you just can't go on,” said the former world No. 3.  

“It's not because you're weak or anything like that, it's just you don't have it in you and I think each one of the players should, to a certain extent, recognize that and be very mindful of how they're positioning themselves in terms of scheduling their play.

“It's taxing on the body, I don't think there's any secrets around that, I think it's just purely the intensity of the competition and all that. It has changed over the course of whatever, the past 15 years, everything has changed. 

“However way you look at it, players have changed, now the different generation comes through, the tournaments are longer, physically everyone is pushing themselves more, the ball is faster, strings are different, racquets are different, so you know like overall everything kind of sped up a little bit and then what can you do?”

Frances Tiafoe doesn’t think players aren’t able to sweep multiple tournaments in a row regularly has anything to do with the taxing schedule or the physical and mental issues that can arise because of it. 

“I don't think it's a schedule thing. I just think it’s a level thing,” said the 27-year-old American. 

“I think the level is very similar, anybody can clip anybody on a given day. I think it's exciting times. Tennis reminds me of, right now, from 2000 to 2004 or 2005. It's a window. Anybody can win Slams. Anybody can win tournaments like this. We're going to have, probably every Masters (season), there’ll probably be eight, nine winners. I'm pretty sure. 

“Maybe Alcaraz and Sinner will probably get two or three. But it's an open game. I don't think anyone fears anyone. No one’s that much better than anyone, except Sinner and Alcaraz. I respect those two. But I think everybody else, if they're not playing well, they can lose.”

Tiafoe is happy to experience this kind of unpredictability on the tour. 

“I lived the ‘real era’. So for me, it feels great,” he added. 

“It feels great to know I can play quarters or semis, at a Slam and that's not like winning it, in a sense. Because, I'm 20, at the Australian Open (in 2019), I lose to Rafa in the quarters and in my mind, I’m like, I’m not beating Rafa. But now, you can play anyone. I really feel like at the Slams, anyone can win.”

World No. 4 Taylor Fritz believes “it’s possible” to witness wild winning streaks in this era but acknowledges the clay season is particularly tough, given the number of big events crammed within a short period of time. 

There are three Masters 1000 clay tournaments scheduled within a five-week window ahead of Roland Garros. 

“It speaks to how insane those guys (the ‘Big Three’) were, they could just play non-stop all the time. And it's tough to go back-to-back-to-back and just keep having big weeks, especially this time of the year, because there's a lot of big events all in a row,” said Fritz. 

“There aren’t necessarily good weeks in this time of the schedule to take off. So, yeah, this is a very tough part of the year to just win, win, win, win, win. But, I mean, it just speaks to how good those guys were I guess.”

Djokovic acknowledged that he, Federer and Nadal had some dominant stretches but played down how frequent those runs came about. 

When asked about Alcaraz’s withdrawal from Madrid, Djokovic was quick to note how young the Spaniard still is. Alcaraz turns 22 next week and is already a four-time major winner and an Olympics silver medallist.

“For me personally, that level of dominant tennis and achievements came when I was 23, 24 years old and then after that. So between, let's say, 23 and 33 is when it was really happening. And now Carlos is still not 23,” said the 37-year-old Djokovic, who as recently as 2023, started the season with a 15-0 run and swept Cincinnati, US Open, and the Paris Masters at the end of the year. 

“We have to remember that what he has done for his age is not also normal. I'm sure that we'll see a lot of him on the big stage with trophies in the future in, whatever, 10 years, 15 years, as long as he's playing.”

Djokovic believes it’s hard to compare eras, adding: “The last 20 years was dominated mostly by the four of us (including Andy Murray), and obviously when the three of my biggest rivals retired, you can feel there's a shift, not only in terms of the generations of players that are now, all of a sudden, the main focus and attention is on them.

“But it's just, I guess it takes a little bit of time for people to accept the fact that Roger and Rafa are not playing, and Murray, and I guess one day myself, but I'm still trying to stay there and represent the older guys, the older generation. Hopefully that brings a positive effect to the tournaments and to the tour itself.”


Salah poses for celebration selfie with Liverpool fans in Premier League title-winning victory

Salah poses for celebration selfie with Liverpool fans in Premier League title-winning victory

  • Arne Slot’s men stormed back after conceding a surprise early goal
  • Top-scorer Salah scored the goal the crowd craved, celebrated by grabbing a fan’s phone before taking a selfie in front of the Kop

LIVERPOOL: Liverpool demolished Tottenham 5-1 to clinch the Premier League title at an impassioned Anfield on Sunday, sealing a record-equalling 20th English top-flight crown.
Arne Slot’s men stormed back after conceding a surprise early goal to dominate the first half as the decibel level soared among 60,000-plus crowd.
Liverpool, who can no longer be caught by second-placed Arsenal, are now level with bitter rivals Manchester United as the joint-most successful club in English top-flight history.
Slot’s men started on the front foot at an expectant Anfield after a stirring rendition of club anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone” in the warm spring sunshine.
Mohamed Salah had an early sighter and Cody Gakpo went close with a spectacular overhead kick but Tottenham briefly threatened to become party poopers when Dominic Solanke powered home a header from a James Maddison corner in the 12th minute.
But Liverpool were level just four minutes later when Luis Diaz converted Dominik Szoboszlai’s cross from close range. The offside flag went up but VAR awarded the goal.
The momentum was now all with Liverpool and the home side took the lead in the 24th minute when Alexis Mac Allister thundered the ball home from the 18-yard line past the flying Guglielmo Vicario.
Now the party was well and truly started and Gakpo made it 3-1, slamming a shot into the bottom corner after Spurs failed to clear.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou had made eight changes from the team that lost to Nottingham Forest last week as he prioritizes the semifinals of the Europa League and they now had a mountain to climb.
The Liverpool fans — deprived of celebrating the 2020 Premier League trophy due to COVID-19 restrictions, ran through their full repertoire of songs as their team pushed for a fourth goal in the second half.
Top-scorer Salah scored the goal the crowd craved, collecting Szoboszlai’s pass before cutting in and blasting his shot into the bottom corner.
He celebrated by grabbing a fan’s phone before taking a selfie in front of the Kop.
Deafening cheers of “We’re going to win the league” and “We shall not be moved” rang out.
Liverpool had a fifth when Spurs defender Destiny Udogie poked the ball past his own goalkeeper from close range with about 20 minutes to go as the game turned into a procession.
As the game went into added time the club’s anthem rang out again as scarves were held aloft and the final whistle elicited a thunderous roar.
The win leaves Liverpool on 82 points, 15 clear of nearest challengers Arsenal with just four games remaining.
Tottenham are a miserable 16th in the Premier League table after their 19th defeat of the season, putting Postecoglou under enormous pressure.
Tens of thousands of fans swarmed around Anfield in the build-up to kick-off in anticipation of Liverpool’s coronation, setting off flares as the home team bus arrived.
Flags and scarves saying “Liverpool 20-time Champions” were on sale from stalls outside the ground.
At the start of the campaign, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City were favorites to extend their dynastic Premier League reign and make it five titles in a row but their form collapsed.
Arsenal emerged as their closest challengers but they drew too many games, failing to take advantage of the rare Liverpool slip-ups.
It was feared Liverpool’s players would need time to adapt to the methods of Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp last June following the German’s departure after nine trophy-filled years at Anfield.
But the former Feyenoord boss has sailed serenely through the season despite relentless speculation over the futures of three of his biggest stars — Salah, captain Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Both Salah and Van Dijk have now signed two-year extensions, though England defender Alexander-Arnold is believed likely to be on the verge of a move to Real Madrid.

PSL X: Peshawar Zalmi lock horns with Quetta Gladiators at Lahore’s Qaddafi Stadium

  • Zalmi have lost three of their four matches this season and secured their only win over Multan Sultans
  • Gladiators, on the other hand, draw confidence from their solid 80-run win over Zalmi in PSL X opener

LAHORE: Peshawar Zalmi won the toss and chose to bowl first against Quetta Gladiators in the 17th match of the Pakistan Super League 10th edition (PSL X) at Qaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday.
Zalmi have lost three of their four matches this season and secured their only win over Multan Sultans. All eyes have been on Zalmi skipper Babar Azam, who has been consistently performing in PSL X, in Sunday’s encounter against Gladiators.
Zalmi said it was “time to shine” in a post on Instagram as their skipper said they were going in with a clear approach.
“Our approach is clear — smart cricket, sharp mindset, and full fight,” Azam said after winning the toss. “Every moment, every move, with one goal in mind.”
Gladiators, on the other hand, draw confidence from their solid 80-run win over Zalmi in the PSL X opener, which gives them a psychological edge in Sunday’s encounter.
However, the Saud Shakeel-led side has failed to maintain consistency since their win against Zalmi and secured a narrow victory against Karachi Kings by defending a modest total of 142.
Fans anticipated a tough battle between Gladiators’ superior bowling line-up and Zalmi’s hard-hitting batsmen.
