DJOKOVIC HAS HIS EYES FIXED ON US OPEN

LONDON: With his Grand Slam reputation and place back in the world top 10 restored, Novak Djokovic will now target a third career Wimbledon/us Open double after clinching his fourth title at the All England Club.

Djokovic defied the odds and even stunned himself by cruising to a 13th major title on Sunday to go fourth on the all-time list of Slam winners.

Only Pete Sampras (14), Rafael Nadal (17) and Roger Federer (20) are ahead of him following his 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7/3) victory over Kevin Anderson. Now the 31-year-old heads for the North America hard court season where he has traditionally thrived. Of his 69 career titles, 51 have been on hard courts with 17 of those in the United States.

When he won his first Wimbledon in 2011, he was to add his maiden US Open, repeating the grass court/hard court double four years later. LEEDS: Headingley is set for a grand finish with the top one-day sides, England and India, set for a winner-takes-all contest on Tuesday. The timing of the final tie couldn’t have been better. The series has been played under the shadow of two of the biggest events in sports – football World Cup and Wimbledon. With the big action ending on Sunday, cricket can hope for undivided attention from fans, in

India and England.

This is a match-up held with an eye on preparing for the

World Cup. One important aspect remains – pressure.

The first two ODIS threw up issues for both teams.
