Andy Murray has been evaluated by a former tennis opponent. Alexander Bublik, Andy Murray’s former tennis opponent, has told him that he is clinging to the past after the Briton agreed to train Novak Djokovic. Murray resigned from tennis following last year’s Olympic Games and reconnected with Djokovic during the offseason. Murray faced Bublik on the court five times, with the two-time Wimbledon winner winning three of them.

That applies not only to his tactics, messages to the Spurs players, and media interviews, but also to other aspects of his management. One of the numerous differences is that the Australian does not have a set backroom crew…

There are a few Leeds United players being associated with the exit door this month, and one of them has suffered a new blow, which could mean he has played his final game for the club. So far, six Leeds players have been linked with departures in January. Tottenham is reportedly interested in Pascal Struijk, while Junior Firpo’s entourage is planning a summer departure, with Real Betis leading the way.

The former Liverpool defender believes it may be time for the club to move on from one of its recent icons, as the Reds pursue a record-equaling top-flight crown. Jamie Carragher has urged on Liverpool to buy a left-back during the January transfer window, suggesting that it will improve the club’s chances of winning the Premier League title. Those aspirations were dashed slightly on Sunday when Liverpool was held at home by Manchester United, reducing the Reds’ lead at the top of the league to six points with one game in hand. While Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah’s goals maintained…
Nuno Espirito Santo will play his former club, Wolverhampton Wanderers, at Molineux on Monday night. The Reds drew 1-1 with Wolves in the reverse meeting in August, but the West Midlanders were a very different animal under Gary O’Neil. Wolves appeared to be in serious danger of relegation under their previous manager, but they have won twice and drawn once since Vitor Pereira arrived. With Chelsea and Arsenal missing points this weekend, the game gives an excellent opportunity for Forest to consolidate their status in the Premier League’s top four. Espirito Santo has received plaudits from Jamie Redknapp this season,…
