Nadal admits he thought he would have retired by now

MADRID: As Rafael Nadal celebrated lifting the French Open trophy for the 11th time, the Spaniard admitted that even he is surprised to be winning Grand Slam titles at the age of 32.

“At this age I thought I’d be retired and be having a family,” Nadal told Spanish sports newspaper Marca.

Nadal, who retained his world number one ranking following Sunday’s triumph in Paris, is also surprised that he and great rival Roger Federer, 36, continue to dominate the men’s game.

The duo’s careers seemed all but over after both were sidelined with injuries in 2016 but in the last 18 months, all six majors have been won by either Federer or Nadal.

When Federer beat Nadal in the 2017 Australian Open final, the Swiss ended a five-year Grand Slam title drought. Nadal also thought his glory days were over as he had drawn a blank at the majors in 2015 and 2016.

“It’s surprising because in 2017 I had gone for two years without winning a Grand Slam and I think he’d been without one since 2012, too,” added Nadal.

“Of course it’s a surprise because we’re getting on a bit and when you’ve been such a long time without winning you don’t know if you’ll ever do so again.”

Nadal’s victory on Sunday earned him a 17th slam, putting him just three behind Federer’s record haul of 20.

However, he insisted he is not putting any pressure on himself to catch Federer.

“Obviously I’d like to have 20 titles like him – or more – but that’s not in my head right now, and 17 is an incredible number. I want to enjoy the moment.

“I can’t be thinking about the next win, that’d drive me crazy. You can’t drive yourself crazy if someone has more titles.”

CAIRO: Egypt forward Mohamed Salah remains a doubt to face Uruguay in their World Cup opener at Yekaterinburg on Friday, the country’s football association has said.

The Liverpool player, who sustained a shoulder injury in the Champions League final against Real Madrid last month, took part in light training on Monday but the Egyptian FA’s managing director Ehab Lehita said it was too early to say whether he would play against the South Americans.

“He is gradually getting better. However, I cannot confirm today that he will play in the first match,” Lehita said of the 25-year-old, who scored 44 goals for Liverpool last season.

“All I can say is that we hope he will play in this match.”

Egypt also face Saudi Arabia and hosts Russia in Group A.

Kane expects ‘brave’ and ‘aggressive’ England in Russia

LONDON: England will adopt an aggressive approach to their World Cup fixtures and tackle the tournament “head on” as Gareth Southgate’s youthful squad hopes to make its mark in Russia, captain Harry Kane has said.

The 24-year-old Tottenham striker hopes that an inexperienced squad will be motivated by the biggest stage, on which the national team has repeatedly disappointed since lifting the trophy in 1966.

“The aim is to be aggressive and brave in possession,” Kane told British media. “We want to take this tournament head on.

“There will be tough moments, and ups and downs. Sometimes going into a big tournament is about not losing and being passive but, for us, it’s about playing attacking football.

“We are aiming to win the first game, then to target the second, and take that attitude to the World Cup.”

Kane, who scored 41 goals for Tottenham Hotspur in all competitions last season, will also be hoping to find the net for the first time at a major tournament.

He struggled for form during England’s dismal Euro 2016 campaign when they were knocked out by Iceland in the Round of 16.

“Personally, that (scoring) record is something I want to change, and hopefully will this summer,” Kane added.

England face Tunisia in their opening Group G fixture on Monday, before taking on Panama and Belgium.
