Michael Venus is a Grand Slam Champion (Just Let That Sink In For A Sec)
Playing with a new partner (but old mate) on his least favourite surface, New Zealand's Michael Venus just won the French Open Mens' Doubles tournament. This is as brilliant as it is unprecedented.
Blackcaps x Champions Trophy: Told Ya So...
