Emma Raducanu has pulled out of Wimbledon on the eve of the tournament due to a stress fracture in her right leg. Writing on Instagram, the 23-year-old said: I cant believe Im saying this, but sadly Ive had to withdraw from this years Wimbledon.Ive done everything possible to try to get to the start line tomorrow but after a final scan tonight, the niggle Ive been managing has developed into a stress fracture and Ive been medically advised to stop pushing through.Playing at Wimbledon, in front of a home crowd, means everything to me, so this is really difficult to process.I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement. Especially at a time like this, it is invaluable. I look forward to seeing you when Im back.The British No 1 cut short a practice session at the All England Club on Saturday and postponed her pre-tournament press conference to the following day to deepen concerns about her fitness. Raducanu was spotted at the All England Club wearing an orthopaedic boot earlier this week and her right ankle was strapped in protective tape when she returned to the practice court on Saturday. But the 23-year-old abruptly stopped her practice with Anna Kalinskaya, the world No 20, after losing four games in a row. Raducanu was scheduled to open play on Court No 1 against Antonia Ruzic at 1pm on Monday. Her career has continually been frustrated by injury problems and missing Wimbledon - where she has twice reached the fourth round, her best result at a major since winning the US Open in 2021 - marks yet another setback after a promising start to her grass-court season, on what is an excellent surface for the Briton. Raducanu has not played since an excellent run to the final at Queens, a WTA 500 warm-up tournament in west London, where she lost to former Wimbledon semi-finalist Donna Vekic less than two weeks ago. After playing five matches at Queens in quick succession, including her quarter- and semi-final on the same day, Raducanu opted not to play another tournament in Nottingham the following week, before declining a wildcard into this weeks event in Eastbourne. She said after Queens that she had been dealing with a few niggles over the past few weeks. She slipped on the grass in her quarter-final against Kamilla Rakhimova and took a medical timeout but did not appear to be hampered by any physical issues during the remainder of her tournament. Raducanu trained on Saturday and Sunday before deciding to pull out of Wimbledon (Getty)A post-viral illness she struggled to shake off kept her off court for two-and-a-half months after Indian Wells in March, meaning she missed nearly the entire clay season, only returning at the French Open where she lost 6-0 7-6 to Argentina's Solana Sierra. Raducanus withdrawal from Wimbledon is a major blow to the tournament and the home fans. Her late-night battle against world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka on Centre Court in last years third round was one of the matches of the Championships. It marks the second time in four years that Raducanu has missed her home grand slam She previously missed the tournament in 2023 after undergoing surgery on both wrists and her left ankle.

In the first Round of 32 match in men's World Cup history, Canada came out victorious with a stoppage-time goal over South Africa in Los Angeles.It wasnt a classic, but the Canadians playing their first match of the tournament away from home soil wont care one iota. All they know is that they're in the Round of 16 for the first time in mens World Cup history thanks to a dramatic, late goal from their 29-year-old midfielder Stephen Eustquio. The end of the first half ended with Canadian domination as it looked to push Bafana Bafana with set pieces, but South Africa kept defending with its life. There was a call for a penalty but nothing was given. The half ended with an angry Canadian side as Jesse Marsch had to calm them down before heading into the tunnel. The second half continued to struggle with legitimate opportunities, but South Africa definitely started to get more into the game, creating some chances of its own. And now, the co-hosts are in the Round of 16 for the first time in mens World Cup history and will face the winner of the Netherlands and Morocco in Houston. Here are my takeaways: 1. Fonzie Is Back But This Was Eustquio's Day In the 75th minute, Canada star Alphonso Davies, who has been out injured and recovering for his national team, finally entered the pitch and made his 2026 World Cup debut. His introduction immediately sparked a fire for Canada, who had been navigating this tournament without its versatile star. But South Africa remained disciplined off the ball, and we were seemingly destined for extra time and possibly penalties. Thats until the 92nd minute when Eustquio became a Canadian hero in Los Angeles. It was a great finish from the midfielder, and it came at such a dramatic time. At the final whistle, his entire squad rallied around him to congratulate him. Its been an emotional few years for Eustquio as he lost both his parents in the space of a year in 2024. Eligible to play for Portugal, Eustquio only committed to play for Canada back in 2019. Since then, hes been an important figure for the Canadian side. Eligible to play for Portugal, Eustquio only committed to play for Canada back in 2019. Since then, hes been an important figure for the Concacaf side. I know exactly how it feels to lose both parents, so I am extremely happy for him, and I am sure his are looking from above smiling with pride as he scored the most important goal of his career. 2. A Cagey Start Leads To Canadian History After 30 minutes of action, both sides had only combined for 11 touches inside the box, per FotMob. And it didnt grow after that. It was very cautious and apprehensive as this was a storyline of two teams not wanting to lose as opposed to gambling to win. I mentioned inmy previous column the fact that this was uncharted waters for both as neither had been in a World Cup knockout stage situation before today. So it was clear that both managers wanted to be very specific about their gameplan. Canada had possession but nothing to show for it until the goal and South Africa was heavily relying on counter-attacking sequences. But it just didnt have the build-up know-how. We got a winner in the end, but it wasnt a classic. Canada recorded its first ever knockout stage win at the World Cup, becoming the first host nation to win a knockout stage game in regulation time since Brazil in 2014. Before this game, the last Concacaf nation to host the World Cup and win a knockout stage match was Mexico in 1986. 3. South Africa Changed Tactics Too Late The plan from South Africa manager Hugo Broos, at least at the start, was very clear. It was reminiscent of its first match against another co-host, Mexico: to let the opposing side have the ball and just rely on quick, direct counters. But the issue is that strategy only works when you make your chances count. South Africa didnt do that and even in the second half, when it gained more possession, it was too reactive and as a result, it paid the price. It was a very brave performance but one that needed a more clinical touch. And when it fell behind in stoppage, it was going to be even harder. South Africa is now winless in eight games at the World Cup when conceding first. 4. South Africa's Mbekezeli Mbokazi Is A Gem At only 20 years old, the Chicago Fire defender has performed as one of the best center backs in the tournament and today, he saved his teammates on many occasions, including saving a Canadian attempt from the line as Jonathan David was pouncing after it. Despite the loss, the South African talent should be very proud of his World Cup. Mbokazi is a talent and one of the brightest young talents in MLS, and his (reportedly) new Chicago teammate Robert Lewandowski should be very impressed. After previously being tied to a move to Europe, something tells me that Mbokazi won't be in MLS for much longer.

African teams have delivered big time at the 2026 World Cup, but can they take it a step further by making noise in the knockout rounds?

When USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino took out a laptop during the first hydration break of the friendly against Senegal, people wondered what would become of these pauses of play. Is it a four-quarter game? Which team will it benefit? Multiple coaches in the tournament have come out and said that they dont like it. Some have come out and said that it has changed the game. "After the U.S.-Senegal game, there was this talk of people going to have the laptop and all that. And since the World Cup started, there's been no discussion of any of that," former USA head coach and "FIFA World Cup NOW" analyst Bob Bradley said. "If the team's going well, you let guys come over, talk to each other. You say a couple of things. And if there is a specific thing which has happened in a few games, then it's easy to say, Let's change the way we press." Multiple top managers in the tournament have said they are not fans of the hydration breaks. Englands Thomas Tuchel said "it interrupts and changes the identity of a football match much more than I thought." Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni said, "The 'four-period' concept is real." Portugal manager Roberto Martinez, though, called the break "revolutionary." Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa said the four-quarter nature of the game "alters the culturally constructed conception of how to interpret football." "They think it disrupts the game," Bradley said. "They would say that in certain games it might allow them to do something tactically, but they don't need to do that every game. They would still say that in extreme conditions you need to do it. But what they don't like is that it breaks the momentum in the game, and they all feel it has changed the identity." How teams come out of the break in play and how the game changes is also a topic of debate. Bradley covered a potential trend of more action happening immediately after play resumes. "Then there's been a little bit of a pattern that, after hydration breaks, you could say that there's been some chances and shots and goals," Bradley said. "It's hard to know what that means because there's been more goals in the World Cup period." The teams the pauses in the action may benefit the most? The underdogs. They get to change tactics and regain energy as they defend against the teams with the majority of possession. "Scaloni made a point that actually it's an advantage for the weaker teams, and that's true," Bradley said.
