Medvedev swops racket for golf club
LONDON • Daniil Medvedev may be banned from Wimbledon but the world No. 1 was still swinging on grass as he swopped his tennis racket for a golf club on Monday for a game against former Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The Russian cannot take part in the ongoing Grand Slam owing to his country's invasion of Ukraine, so the reigning US Open champion is having some downtime on the greens, as he joked on Instagram that he "can't leave grass".

Okagbare's dope ban extended to 11 years
PARIS • Sprinter Blessing Okagbare has been given an additional one-year ban for doping violations on top of her existing 10-year suspension, a decision that rules Nigeria out of the 4x100m women's relay at next month's World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
The 2008 Beijing Games long jump silver medallist was first suspended during last year's Tokyo Olympics after failing a drug test. Her previous results, including helping Nigeria qualify for the world championships, have now been ruled invalid.
