Believe it or not! Arguably the greatest tennis player, #RogerFederer is now unranked. The Swiss legend has dropped out of the ATP Rankings for the first time in 25 years. As per his latest statement, the 40-year-old still aims to return to the ATP Tour.
newsbytesapp.com/news/sports/ro…
Federer, regarded as the GOAT, has the third-most Grand Slam titles (20) after #RafaelNadal𓃵 (22) and #NovakDjokovic (21). The former has faltered in recent times due to multiple injuries.
He underwent two arthroscopic surgeries in 2020 before returning to the ATP Tour (2021 Wimbledon). However, Federer pulled out of the grass-court Slam as he required a third operation.
Federer ranked 97th ahead of 2022 Wimbledon. However, he does not have any points to grab a spot in the ATP Rankings. Notably, a player's results over the previous 52 weeks determine their ranking. And, Federer has not competed on the ATP Tour in over a year.
Before March 2021, Federer held the record for being the number one player in the ATP Rankings for most weeks (310). However, Djokovic broke his record and extended his streak to 373 weeks. The Swiss held the top spot for 237 successive weeks.
Federer, who is still eyeing a comeback, did not compete at 2022 Wimbledon. He missed the grass-court Slam for the first time since 1998. He is the most successful man in the tournament (eight titles).
Federer had a win-loss record of 9-4 in 2021. He pulled out of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics after reaching the quarter-finals at Wimbledon. Federer defeated Adrian Mannarino, Richard Gasquet, Cameron Norrie, and Lorenzo Sonego at the All England Club.
Federer last clinched a Grand Slam title in 2018 (Australian Open). He defeated Marin Cilic 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 to win his sixth Australian Open title. Federer has won the second-most ATP matches in tennis history (1,251-275).
During a recent appearance at the Centre Court, Federer indicated that he could play a tournament in Basel this October. He is also hopeful of competing at Wimbledon in 2023.

Farah previously said he came to the UK from Somalia with his parents as a refugee. But in reality, he was trafficked from Djibouti by an unknown woman and was given the name Mohamed Farah by her. His real name is Hussein Abdi Kahin.
The unknown woman who trafficked Farah to Europe lied to him and said that he was being taken to his relatives, something he was "excited" about since he had never been on a plane. He was given a fake passport along with a fake name.

The Webb telescope is one of the most expensive scientific instruments ever built. From the first image, it seems that the estimated $10 billion was well spent. With JWST, we will see more of the universe than we ever imagined seeing.
The image unveiled by NASA shows us a never-seen-before view of a galaxy cluster called SMACS 0723. It covers a patch of this sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length.

Fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya was awarded a four-month jail term & a Rs. 2,000 fine by the Supreme Court on Monday in a five-year-old contempt case. It also asked his family members to return $40M that was transferred to them violating the court order.
newsbytesapp.com/news/business/…
Mallya faces charges of money laundering and fraud in India, including loans to his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines, which totaled Rs. 9,000 crore. In March 2016, he left India. He was proclaimed a fugitive economic offender (FEO) by a Mumbai court in 2019.
The 2017 contempt of court case—in which Mallya was found guilty for transferring money to his children—was filed by the State Bank of India. In 2020, the SC dismissed his plea requesting a review of the 2017 ruling that held him guilty of contempt.
