Coco Gauff column: Creating a rivalry like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal would be cool

9 days ago BBC

In my head I still think a rivalry is where you hate the person and I definitely don't hate Emma - I really like her! One of the most famous was Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert - although that was before I was born - and another example is, of course, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Of course, another great rivalry was Serena and Venus Williams. How 'iron sharpening iron' forces you to be betterSo who could I potentially develop a great rivalry with over the next 10 or 15 years? I don't know for sure, there are a lot of players who you could point to.

Sheffield United 2-2 Norwich City: Teemu Pukki scores twice but misses penalty for Canaries

Last updated on .From the section ChampionshipTeemu Pukki charged down Adam Davies' attempted clearance for Norwich's opening goalTeemu Pukki scored twice but saw a late penalty saved as Norwich and Sheffield United had to settle for a point each at Bramall Lane. The Canaries, beaten in their previous three matches, went in front when goalkeeper Adam Davies was slow to clear a backpass, allowing Pukki to close down the space - and the ball rebounded off him into the net. Pukki added his second - and his seventh of the season - as a kind deflection off defender John Egan gave him enough space to angle a shot across Davies and into the far corner. United raised their game after the break and Ben Osborn and Oli McBurnie pulled them level, before Davies atoned for his earlier error by saving Pukki's spot-kick after he had been fouled in the box by John Egan. The Blades remain fourth in the Championship, four points behind the top two, QPR and Blackburn, with Norwich sixth, a point further back.

will Dominic Calvert-Lewin achieve World Cup dream?

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored one goal in two Premier League starts this seasonA knee injury has troubled Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin so far this season, but has his return to fitness come just in time for him to be considered for England's World Cup squad? "It's been a while, one I've been waiting for, one I've been looking forward to and I felt like myself. Asked if he can do enough to catch the manager's eye before England's World Cup squad is announced next month, Calvert-Lewin added: "It's every boy's dream to go to the World Cup. Calvert-Lewin was part of the England squad that reached the Euro 2020 final, although he only played 18 minutes during the tournament. "Dominic has to show how fit and fresh he is for Everton and today was an all-round performance of what he is, which makes him an England striker, Everton striker and Premier League striker," added Lampard.
