Sport in brief: 02/07/2014

BOXING: Floyd Mayweather confirmed he will face Marcos Maidana in a rematch and then hinted at a possible clash with Amir Khan next year.

The Golden Boy defeated Maidana on points back in May in what was a close fight.

Mayweather said: “September 13, back to business, Marcos Maidana vs. Floyd Mayweather Part II. Then in May, I’ll have a big surprise for you.”

 

TENNIS: German Angelique Kerber scored an inspired Wimbledon victory over Maria Sharapova to extinguish the Russian’s hope of winning back-to-back grand slam titles.

In a gripping Centre Court clash, left-hander Kerber took her seventh match point to seal a 7-6 (7/4) 4-6 6-4 victory and earn a quarter-final shot at Canadian Eugenie Bouchard.

 

TENNIS: Grigor Dimitrov has set his sights on taking away Andy Murray’s Wimbledon crown when the pair meet today.

He said: “Every tournament I enter is to win the whole event. I think that’s the whole point of competing and having those tournaments.”
