OPINION: A month that changed sport forever 30 days ago the football season was in full swing...
It is precisely a month today since elite football’s light was extinguished, too, with the visit to Liverpool of Atletico Madrid and their 3,000 fans, something which also seems beyond comprehension now.
We will probably not be seeing the brave new dawn of cricket’s Hundred until 2021. A once-in-a-generation summer, all gone. One Direction’s Liam Payne and golfer Ian Poulter competed in a Virtual Bahrain GP, one of a series of F1 races screened live on Sky Sports which drew 3.2m viewers online and 1.2m on TV.
An elusive and historic 24th tennis Grand Slam, equalling Margaret Court’s record, had always seemed achievable for Serena Williams, although the chance is now fainter. She is 39 in September. Roger Federer can use the spring to recover from knee surgery but he will be 40 when his next shot at Wimbledon comes around.Katarina Johnson-Thompson’s hopes of Olympic gold decrease.
The bribes will have been immaterial. We have been reminded that investment of money in medical science matters infinitely more. The Premier League might actually become a more likeable place.The relationship between the division and its players might never quite recover, however.
