Emma Raducanu rehires coach who helped her to 2021 US Open triumph

Andrew Richardson helped her win slam as an 18-year-old
Partnership to start at Strasbourg in French Open buildup

Emma Raducanu has rehired Andrew Richardson, the coach who helped guide her to her sensational US Open triumph in 2021, on a formal basis as she prepares to return to competition next week in Strasbourg in the buildup to the French Open.

Richardson will accompany Raducanu at the WTA 500 event as she competes for the first time in two months after struggling with a post-viral illness. During the early days of her return to the courts, Raducanu travelled to Richardson’s base at the Ferrer Academy in La Nucía, Spain, near Benidorm, for a clay-court training block that doubled as a trial period for a potential formal partnership.

Dak Prescott on George Pickens: We've worked as much as needed, comfortable with where he's at

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott advised wide receiver George Pickens to "bet on yourself" when Pickens received the franchise tag earlier this year and Pickens took that advice.

Pickens signed the tag despite the Cowboys saying they have no plans to work out a long-term contract extension with the wideout this offseason. Pickens's decision has not led him to take part in the voluntary portions of the team's offseason program, but that isn't an issue for Prescott when it come to Pickens's preparation for the season.

While at the team's charity home run derby Thursday, Prescott said that he and Pickens have done "as much as needed" while working together on their own and that he has no doubt Pickens will hit the ground running once he is with the team.

"I've just showed George my support," Prescott said, via the team's website. "The guy that I know George is, obviously he signed the tag, so when he has to be there and ready to play, he's going to be there. He's a hell of a talent. We've thrown this offseason, so I'm comfortable with where he's at and I'm excited for when he can get in the building and get rolling."

The only mandatory work of the Cowboys' offseason is at their minicamp in mid-June. Pickens may not be around until that starts, but that won't be an issue for his quarterback.

Mourinho se pronuncia sobre la situación de Arbeloa: "Él dio la vida por mí"

La voz de José Mourinho, posible entrenador del Real Madrid para la temporada que viene, es una de las más perseguidas en los últimos días. Sin embargo, el portugués, a diferencia de lo que cabría esperar, está siendo muy cauto en sus declaraciones y en la última, antes del importante partido del Benfica ante el Estoril en el que se decidirá si el equipo portugués va a la Champions o tiene que jugar la previa, no quiso referirse a demasiados temas que no tuvieran que ver con el partido.
