| Birmingham appoint Chris Hughton to replace McLeish Posted: 22 Jun 2011 08:38 AM PDT
Birmingham, who announced the appointment on their website, were relegated from the Premier League on the last day of the season. Manager Alex McLeish quit the Midlands club earlier this month before making a controversial move to take over at City's bitter rivals Aston Villa. Hughton (picture) was sacked by Newcastle in early December after 14 months in the job. He led Newcastle back to the Premier League in his first season but was dismissed midway through last season's campaign after the club said they needed someone with more experience to take them forward. — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |
| Venus fights back to beat veteran Date-Krumm Posted: 22 Jun 2011 08:32 AM PDT  Williams said after the match that she had found it hard to get in the game. — Reuters pic "It was tough, she came out and I couldn't get in the game," Williams, who only returned to action recently after months out with an abdominal injury, said in a televised interview. "She plays so well, every ball hits the baseline. I give her a lot of credit and I'm delighted to come through. I feel like I am playing better than Eastbourne, I'm moving better and I'm not feeling any pain at the moment." Date-Krumm surged into a 5-1 lead under the Centre Court roof and although American Williams fought back to force a tiebreak, the Japanese won it 8-6 on her fifth set point. Williams, five-times Wimbledon champion but seeded 23rd this year following injury problems, improved as the match wore on but Date-Krumm refused to lie down. Williams made the decisive break in the 14th game of the final set, clinching victory in just under three hours when Date-Krumm sent a backhand wide. — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |
