US Open 2017: Maria Sharapova battles past Sofia Kenin to reach fourth round. The team was to leave for the tournament on July 13 but applied for visa just three days prior to their departure. Before that, Schumacher won five consecutive titles from 2000-04. With Delhi underachieving over the last few years and coach KP Bhaskar and veteran batsman Gautam Gambhir having a fractious relationship, his assignment was not easy. The Spaniard, who largely operates as as central midfielder, can also play higher up the pitch just behind the striker. Mats Hummels leaped high to head an 88th-minute winning goal that cap an interesting week for the Bayern Munich defender. Matic’s involvement was rewarded with a man of the match award on debut. Edmund bravely attempted to continue but after dropping the opening game of the fourth set, waved the white flag by walking to the net and shaking hands. Germany’s 2-1 win at the Czech Republic was the world champion’s seventh straight win in. The selectors, however, will have to decide whether to have him as a captain or purely as an opening batsman.
