Nadal Withdraws From Olympics

his Men’s Singles gold medal and the honor of carrying the Spanish flag
at the Opening Ceremony in London a week today.
Mauresmo Named France Fed Cup Captain
Former
French women’s great Amelie Mauresmo has replaced Nicolas Escude as the
country’s Fed Cup captain after a four-year run. The appointment of
Mauresmo, who won Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon and the Australian
Open, was announced on social media by the national federation.
US
Open to Have All of the Top Men and Women in the Draw

Open.

Nike
Celebrates Federer’s 287 Weeks at the Top
Clothing
colossus Nike has paid special tribute to Roger Federer after the Swiss
star returned to the world No. 1 ranking and set a new all-time record
of 287 combined weeks at the top of the ATP table, dislodging Novak
Djokovic from the summit and sending fellow Nike endorser Rafael Nadal
down to third.
But the
multinational is making sure there is something in it for itself as
well, marking the Federer No. 1 anniversary with a limited edition pair
of Federer shoes which cost a hefty $287.
Johnson starts ATP career
NCAA
champion Steve Johnson may have lost his second round match to teenager
Jack Sock in Atlanta, but he feels ready for the pro tour after playing
a full four years at USC.
“It’s
going to take a few months to feel comfortable. You are on your own and
away from the team, but it’s a challenge I’m willing to take on,” he
said.
