Milos Raonic blames Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal & Novak Djokovic for unrealistic tennis standards 

Milos Raonic, former world no. 3, opined that Federer, Nadal and Djokovic messed with everybody's expectations during their prime.&nbsp;

The Big Three of tennis may be admired world over, but somedays, their immense talent is blamed for setting unrealistic standards in the sport.&nbsp;
Former World No. 3 Milos Raonic after losing 6-3, 6-3 to Mackenzie McDonald in the third round of the Canadian Open, was asked if the level of men's tennis is better as compared to a few years ago given that a lot of top seeds are being stunned by players outside the top 50.&nbsp; The 32-year-old countered, saying that Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic 'messed with everybody's expectations'.&nbsp; 'I think just three guys, to have three exemplary kind of legendary athletes in one sport, not even in one generation, period, but in one sport at the same time, you kind of messed with everybody's expectation (or recalibration) of what is normal, right? If you look back at a lot of tournaments, yeah, you would have the three of them playing,' Raonic opined.&nbsp; He stated that apart from the Big Three and Andy Murray, rest of the lower-ranked players till 16, would lose regularly so the current phenomenon is nothing new.&nbsp;

He tweeted about his experience a day later and called it 'adventure of a lifetime'.

Roger Federer to Swiss football: Sports sponsorships face uncertain future after Credit Suisse collapse

From Roger Federer to Switzerland's national team, the takeover of Credit Suisse has left the sporting fraternity with a big question mark hanging over sponsorship deals.

#Sports #Switzerland #CreditSuisse

UBS, which is taking over Credit Suisse, has its own portfolio of sports sponsorships focusing on Formula One, athletics and ice hockey, and may not necessarily continue with the deals Credit Suisse made in the past.

The takeover of Swiss bank Credit Suisse leaves many sports stars, teams and tournaments with a big question mark hanging over their lucrative sponsorship deals.
The Swiss national football team, the country's top football division, tennis great Roger Federer, golf star Sergio Garcia and Zurich's new stadium were all sponsored by the bank, which is being taken over by Swiss rival UBS.
The deal was hastily arranged on Sunday afer Credit Suisse's share price plunged.
Golf and equestrian events also relied on Credit Suisse money, as did the Swiss Sport Aid Foundation, which backs talented young athletes in minority sports.
"Our sponsorships reflect our passion for excellence, sustainability, and partnership," Credit Suisse boasts.
The Neue Zurcher Zeitung newspaper said that no matter how much Credit Suisse got embroiled in scandals or rejigged its strategies, "the bank has always been a reliable partner for sports".
"For the time being, we will continue our corresponding commitments unchanged," a Credit Suisse spokesman told AFP.
But UBS, which has its own portfolio of sports sponsorships focusing on Formula One, athletics and ice hockey, may not necessarily continue with the deals.
Football focus Credit Suisse has been the main sponsor of the Swiss Football Association (SFA) governing body since 1993.
The men's national team, ranked 12th in the world, has enjoyed some of its best years since the bank came on board.
Having only appeared at one World Cup between 1966 and 2006, Switzerland have qualified for the last five World Cups, reaching the last 16 in four of those tournaments.
The contract runs until June 30 next year. It is worth around five million Swiss francs ($5.4 million) per year, according to Blick newspaper.
The Credit Suisse logo will stay on the national teams' training jackets and jerseys for as long as the bank exists, SFA spokesman Adrian Arnold said ahead of Saturday's Euro 2024 qualifier against Belarus.
"We had good discussions with our contacts at Credit Suisse, who assured us that the existing contracts would be honoured," Arnold said.
"We would like the partnership to continue thereafer, in whatever form."
Credit Suisse is also the main sponsor of Switzerland's bid to host the 2025 women's European Championships, and the takeover comes shortly before the hosting decision is due on April 4.
The bank is the title sponsor of the Super League, Switzerland's 10-team top football division, including well-known clubs like Young Boys, Grasshopper, FC Zurich and FC Basel.
Blick said the contract runs until 2025 and is worth around eight million Swiss francs ($8.7 million) per season.
Money goes into every club as well as the tournament, with the bank's name appearing on all team strips and on advertising boards around the stadiums.
In 2019, the bank won the naming rights for a proposed new football stadium in Zurich, where Grasshopper and FC Zurich are expected to play.
But the planned "Credit Suisse Arena" has faced delays. It was due to open in mid-2022, but little progress has been made and its future now seems even more uncertain.
Roger Federer Federer is by far the biggest name associated with Credit Suisse.
Although Switzerland's greatest sports star retired in September, he remains a brand ambassador for Credit Suisse. The bank was on board for his transition into a post-tennis career, saying: "We look forward to many more years together".
Federer has a host of other sponsors he can fall back on, including Rolex, Lindt, Mercedes-Benz and Moet et Chandon.
Credit Suisse also sponsors the Federer-instigated Laver Cup, which features six top men's tennis players from Europe against six from the rest of the world, captained by Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe.
The Laver Cup did not respond when contacted by AFP.
 Sponsors leave, others arrive In golf, Credit Suisse sponsored the European Masters golf tournament in Crans-Montana and Spanish former world number two Garcia, who won the 2017 Masters.
European Masters tournament director Yves Mittaz said the contract runs until the 2024 tournament so the event is not at risk.
"There is no reason to panic," he told the Tribune de Geneve newspaper.
"That's the business of sport: sponsors leave, others arrive."
In equestrianism, Credit Suisse is a main sponsor of the Concours Hippique International de Geneve and White Turf in St. Moritz, a glitzy exclusive event featuring horse racing on a frozen lake.

A lot of players chose to retire only in a particular format, like Ben Stokes, whose shocking ODI retirement triggered the discussion around the burdensome cricketing calendar. Apart from him, Aaron finch too decided to bid adieu to the 50-over format.&nbsp;
In women&rsquo;s cricket, Australia&rsquo;s Rachel Haynes, South Africa&rsquo;s Mignon du Preez, England&rsquo;s Katherine Brunt &amp; Anya Shrubsole; New Zealand&rsquo;s Amy Satterthwaite and Katey Martin; and Deandra Dottin of West Indies retired.&nbsp;

The Swiss Maestro!
A backhand that felt like poetry in motion. A forehand to stun his opponents from anywhere in the court. And a smile to leave one and all floored with his charm! Roger Federer is truly an emotion in the tennis world!
The man who made people fall in love with Tennis with just his grace has finally <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/tennis-great-roger-federer-announces-retirement-1663249132875">decided to bid his beloved sport goodbye</a>.
Having scaled peaks one after the other, dominating sport like no other player before him, he leaves tennis poorer despite not being actively involved for the past few years.
Rafael Nadal &amp; Novak Djokovic may both be ahead of him in the all-time Grand Slam count, but in terms of popularity, Federer remains the undisputed No. 1.
The 41-year-old will bow out as one of Tennis&rsquo; greatest ever. There&rsquo;s little doubt over the class he oozed on the court but even his numbers are extraordinary.
He won 103 ATP singles titles, the second-most of all time after Jimmy Connors. He was ranked World No. 1 for a total of 310 weeks, including a record 237 consecutive weeks. That&rsquo;s more than 4.5 years, such was the domination. He finished the year-end No. 1 on 5 occasions as well.
His retirement marks the beginning of the end of the most glorious era in men&rsquo;s tennis history.
Between Federer, Rafael Nadal &amp; Novak Djokovic, the Big Three as they are called, have won 63 majors till date. And now, only time will tell how many more we&rsquo;ll see from the two that remain.
The world of tennis was only just recovering from Serena Williams&rsquo; adieu, and now surely, Federer&rsquo;s final tournament, the Laver Cup, will bring in a whirlwind of emotions from all across the tennis fraternity.
For it&rsquo;s Farewell, King Roger! The world, the fans, and the sport can only thank you for the wonderful memories.

Virat Kohli's admiration for Roger Federer is well known and the former India skipper shared a heartfelt video for the Swiss Maestro, as he retired from professional tennis.
Virat, who has met Federer twice, first in 2015 and then in 2018, congratulated the 20-time Grand Slam champion on a phenomenal career. The video was shared by Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) on their social media handles. 
"I personally had the chance to meet you in Australian Open in 2018, something that I'll never ever forget in my life. One thing that stood out for me even watching you play, was the fact that so many people around the world, not just in the world of tennis got behind you, supporting you and that kind of unity I've never seen for any other individual athlete ever. That is something that cannot be created, that cannot be generated in anyway."
"You had that special ability always. It was very evident when we watched you play and the aura you brought on court is unmatchable. And for me, you're always going to be the greatest of all time. I'm sure in the next phase of your life you're going to have as much fun and as much enjoyment as you did on the court. I wish you all the best and your family as well. Take care."
