queensland boat gets shredded

Knowing this boat belonged to a poacher makes this bittersweet. An Australian man had to pay the ultimate price when his boat was seized and forfeited to the state of Queensland last year. The recreational fisherman and a restaurant manager were collectively fined $8,600 for the black marketing of redclaw crayfish. Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol

Novak’s Advice to Naomi is No Advice at All

Novak’s Advice to Naomi is No Advice at All

The World No.1 says his fellow World No.1 is doing just fine, thank you.

Asked what advice he would give to reigning two-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka by a reporter on Thursday at all-access media hour, Novak Djokovic didn’t hesitate.

She’s got this one, he basically told her.

“She seems very mature,” Djokovic said. “She seems like she has already done it, like she has experienced it already which is quite impressive. The way she handled U.S. Open final closing ceremony—I thought it was terrific under circumstances that were not easy for her and would not be easy for anybody. I thought that it was very impressive for her to win the Australian Open several months after her first Grand Slam win and to position herself as No.1 in the world."

Djokovic says that the 21-year-old is wise beyond her years and he really has no advice to give to her.

“Everything that she has been doing so far is very positive and she is very kind and very genuine,” he said. “She comes across as someone that works hard, that respects the game—everybody likes her. I have no advice, she is doing everything perfect.”

Osaka, working with new coach Jermaine Jenkins at Indian Wells will kick off her title defense with a second-round encounter against Kristina Mladenovic. She fell to Mladenovic 6-3 6-3 in Dubai in her only match after claiming the Australian Open title.

Croatia’s Ana Konjuh Awaits Long, Slow Recovery After Latest Surgery

Croatia’s Ana Konjuh Awaits Long, Slow Recovery After Latest Surgery

The 21-year-old has undergone four surgeries in the last five years. Ana Konjuh‘s injury struggles continue. The Croatian announced that she underwent ulnar collateral reconstruction surgery and is not sure of when she’ll be able to return to tennis. Konjuh said that she tried to play through what she deemed to be manageable pain this season, but that it flared up more recently, causing her to go the surgery route.


It’s an incredibly unfortunate situation for a wildly talented player that has been riddled by injuries throughout her career.

The 21-year-old reached a career-high ranking of 20 in the world. In 2016 she reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals at the age of 18. A year earlier she had won the Nottingham title at the age of 17—becoming the youngest WTA player to lift a trophy since 2006.

This is the fourth surgery that Konjuh has undergone since 2014. She underwent two elbow surgeries on her right arm in 2014 and 2017, and had an elbow surgery on her left arm in 2018.

The former junior No.1 last played at Budapest in February, where she lost to Pauline Parmentier in straight sets.
