INDIA NATIONAL CRICKET

Team Schedule 2023

After the World Test Championship Final match, in July 2023, India is on the West Indies tour for the Test, One Day, and T20.

NICK Kyrgios is a temperamental tennis player. He does not shy away from speaking his mind, a trait that has often landed him in controversies.

Kyrgios, however, has not changed his ways and continues to be the way he is. This time around, the Australian has courted a fresh new controversy on social media.

The former world number 13 has been sidelined due to injuries this year. Kyrgios has played only one game in 2023. He played at the Stuttgart Open, where he lost to Wu Yibing in the first round.

Kyrgios is not in the news for his injuries though. The fiery Aussie recently mocked an account online, that only highlighted the top 10 ATP players and their social media following.

Kyrgios reacted to the post and commented ‘LOL’ under it. A fan called him out for it, but Nick responded that he has done more for tennis than a lot of players on the list.

Other fans, of course, took issue with his statement because the only reason he does not feature on the list is because he is not in the top 10 rankings. A user even harshly pointed out that people do not follow him for tennis.

Kyrgios does have over 5 million followers on social media, more than players like Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev. Other fans did not hold back either.

Nick Kyrgios is currently recuperating from his injuries. He had to pull out of Wimbledon at the last possible minute due to a wrist injury. There are no updates as of now, about when Kyrgios will make a return.

Besides Nick Kyrgios, who are the other popular tennis stars on social media?

Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. Celebrities have the power to influence their fans online. While Nick Kyrgios does have a huge fanbase on social media, there are other players with an even bigger fan following.

Rafael Nadal is the most followed tennis player on this list. With 19.5 million+ followers on Instagram alone, Nadal tops this list by a huge margin. It is not surprising that the 22-time Grand Slam champion is so popular and loved by fans across the globe.

With 16.8 million+ followers, Serena Williams sits next on this list. The younger Williams sister is quite active on social media, sharing pictures and giving life updates to fans. The 23time Grand Slam champion has been a huge influence on women’s tennis.

Novak Djokovic comes next on this list. With a gigantic fanbase of 13.4 millon+ followers, Djokovic is a hugely popular figure. He is quite active too, sharing pictures with his family and his triumphs on the tennis court.

Then there are players who do not have such a big presence on social media but have done a lot for tennis.

Elina Svitolina, Coco Gauff are just two examples of this. Svitolina has become a household name since she returned to professional tennis and took a stand for Ukraine. Gauff has been quietly working to make the game more accessible to young players.

It is true that social media is an important tool these days. But the fanbase alone cannot prove to be the litmus test for contribution to the sport.

IN his long-awaited return to the football field, Ryan Papenhuyzen showed no signs of nerves as he played a “pretty full 40 minutes” to help Storm feeder club Sunshine Coast Falcons keep their finals hopes alive.

Played in front of a healthy Sunshine Coast Stadium crowd - the largest attendance of the season according to club officials - Papenhuyzen ran out for his first game in 384 days since suffering a horrific kneecap fracture in Round 18 last year.

"He did a great job; I thought he got really busy too, which was great and it was a pretty full 40 minutes for him," Falcons coach Brad Henderson told NRL.com.

"I knew it was a good sign when he brought his kicking tees up with him.

"I'm glad he got through; I am really, really pleased for him."

Papenhuyzen started the match at fullback and played only the first half as was the plan outlined by the Storm to ease him back into the game and was involved in plenty from the get-go, kicking off the match.

As well as spending some time in the dummy half role, Papenhuyzen got his name on the scoreboard kicking two from three conversions, and helped set up the Sunshine Coast’s first try. He also made sure to get involved in defence early, showing no hesitation when attempting to bring down the bigger-bodied Ipswich Jets forwards.

While there were some murmurs from the crowd of “don’t hurt him”; Papenhuyzen seemed right at home back on the field where he played two seasons in the Hostplus Cup in 2018 and 2019.

“He seemed really happy to be here and we're certainly happy to have him," Henderson said.

"But look, Ryan's a real leader too, we found that out during the week.

"He spoke really well at our captain's run last night and he was really good in the sheds too.

"We're just really pleased he got through today ... and I thought he played a good game."

With Storm teammates including captain Christian

Welch, forwards Harry Grant, Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Tui Kamikamica and Trent Loiero and club coaching staff Todd Lowrie watching on in support, Papenhuyzen - and Storm centre and fellow Falcon Old Boy Justin Olam, who also featured in Saturday’s game before coming off late in the second half with what appeared to be an arm injury - were swamped by fans on the field after the fulltime siren.

Henderson said he was hopeful to have Papenhuyzen back in his side next week as the Falcons faced another must-win game against defending premiers Norths Devils as they aim for a finals berth.

"I think that's the plan, but that might change - a week's a long time in footy," Henderson said.

"We found out the other night that a couple of their players were late withdrawals, so we'll wait and see.

"But normally, if it's a Saturday game, which it is next week, we'll find out Tuesday afternoon, who we're going to have – hopefully he’s on board."
