Sauber’s rising star Kamui Kobayashi was arguably the driver of the day in Valencia. He jumped upon a opportunistic safety car period and took hold of an unexpected third position. He held this place throughout most of the Grand Prix. What highlighted his potential in this position was the continuing abundance of pace that he portrayed on his first set of tyres. These tyres lasted him...

Three years ago, a crazed lunatic ran into me at 80mph on the motorway. In an ordinary road car this was supposed to have been a terrifying and nightmare inducing accident.

The number of games played, the duration of the entire match and its final set, as well as the number of aces both individually and combined were statistics wiped and reset by the two big servers.

If the likes of Venus or Serena Williams have their way, then the amount of time spent on court throughout their entire Wimbledon campaign and hopeful triumph will not even come close to today’s record breaking fixture. Nicolas Mahut, a former top 50 player, and the 23rd seeded John Isner took their match into a second day after bad light forced them off court late last night. They started the...

As we head into Wimbledon, the home nation Great Britain have eight representatives aiming to progress. Despite only one of them having realistic chances of title glory, all eight will be looking to raise their profile and create a mountain of home interest.
