Portugal v Japan first half done at FIFA Women's futsal world cup. Portugal up 2-0 - they look the more polished and fluent out on the pitch. Expect them to dominate the 2nd half and win comfortably. #futsalwwc

Just some quick thoughts on Australia's batting woes after Day 1 of the #Ashes. Heading down to Sydney Olympic Park later to watch some Sheffield Shield cricket to see what youngsters could fill the future Test batting spots.

An Injection of Youth is Critical for Aussie Test Cricket
As many Aussie fans watched the team on Day 1 of the 2025/26 Ashes test, we saw an ageing Australian batting line-up completely exposed and bullied by an impressive England fast bowling attack. As a solution to seeing what Australia's answer to this crisis is, I'll be venturing to Cricket Central in Silverwater, Sydney for Day 1 of the Sheffield Shield match between NSW and Tasmania.

Massive #tennis news with former world #1 Lleyton Hewitt playing doubles with son Cruz Hewitt at the #atp challenger in Sydney this evening.

Have changed my plans this evening and will be there for this historic event!! If they do well don't be surprised if they ask for an #AusOpen wildcard

NSW Open Tennis 2025 – Qualifying Day 1
One of the oldest professional tennis tournaments in the world started on Sunday 17 November with qualifying for both the women's and men's draws. In its prime the NSW Open or Sydney International was one of the tournaments on the tennis calendar that served as a form guide for the Australian Open. With the emergence of the ATP Cup and now the United Cup, the NSW Open is now resigned to Challenger and ITF status on the men's and women's tennis tours respectively.

I know, I know - it's not technically slam, but I'm giving it a go! Here's an article about my 1 Point #AusOpen Slam Journey.

My journey to Grand Slam Tennis immortality – 1 point at a time
For those that don't know, the Australian Open came up with a concept last year that allowed amateur and social tennis players to play against professionals in a "slam" tournament. The twist is that the tournament is like no other and is based on elimination playing one point and one point only against your opponent. Last year professional tennis player Omar Jasika walked away as the inaugural Australian Open One Point Slam Champion.
