2020 Tennis Season Review

The 2020 tennis season was a shortened one, but there was enough time for historic achievements and stunning upsets.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC won a record-breaking eighth Australian Open title, while RAFAEL NADAL claimed an incredible 13th Roland Garros crown.

The king of Clay moved up to 20 Grand Slam titles, level with great rival, ROGER FEDERER.

There was a rare major title for someone outside the "Big Four" as DOMINIC THIEM picked up his first Slam with victory at the US Open.

The women's field produced two new Grand Slam women's singles champions with SOFIA KENIN winning the Australian Open and Polish teenager, IGA SWIATEK powering to a shock French Open crown.

Japan's NAOMI OSAKA won the US Open, her third major title.

The coronavirus played its part, unfortunately wiping out a big chunk of the calendar, including Wimbledon, but we did manage to get in some fantastic tennis and witness the likes of NADAL, DJOKOVIC, SWIATEK make more history.

December 29, 2020 F1 Season Review 2020

F1 Season Review 2020

As was the case with many other sports, 2020 was a strange year for Formula One due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The season was originally scheduled to begin in March, but it didn’t get underway until July.

Despite all the changes, one thing remained constant- the dominance of Lewis Hamilton.

It was another record-breaking year for the British superstar, who matched Michael Schumacher’s record of seven world titles, beating the German’s 91 career race wins in the process.

Behind Hamilton was teammate, Valtieri Bottas, as the pair completed yet another Mercedes 1-2.

Max Verstappen had another fine year, finishing just nine points behind Bottas in third.

Give that man a better car and he will surely become a world champion.

Mexican, Sergio Perez also impressed in his Racing Point, winning the Sakhir Grand Prix en route a fine fourth-place finish in the drivers’ standings.

His reward is a seat on the Red Bull, alongside Verstappen, next season.

Other notable performers included Ferrari’s Charles LeClerc, who outscored his more celebrated teammate, Sebastian Vettel by an incredible 65 points.

There was that scary incident towards the end of the season, when Sebastian Grosjean’s car went up in flames, but thankfully, the driver escaped with only minor injuries.

It was a strange season, but it still gave us lots of action, and plenty to talk about.

Bring on 2021!

Man Utd Set Up Manchester Derby Semi Final After Win At Everton

Captain Harry Maguire said Manchester United "have to start lifting trophies" after they set up a Carabao Cup semi-final against rivals Manchester City with a late win at Everton.

United's last domestic silverware was the League Cup in 2017 and they are within one game of another final after Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial broke Everton's resistance at Goodison Park.

Cavani's stunning curling effort from 20 yards opened the scoring in front of 2,000 fans, just as the game looked set to head to penalties.

With Everton chasing the game, substitute Martial added a second in stoppage time to send Ole Gunnar Solskjaer one step closer to earning his first trophy as United boss.

Everton were lacklustre in the second half, after Richarlison went off injured, having promised much in the first period, with Gylfi Sigurdsson's free-kick testing Dean Henderson.

Defeat for Carlo Ancelotti's team ends a run of three successive wins which has lifted them to fourth in the Premier League table.
