The #NextGen Finals is the place to trial things and Telegraph Sport reveals that “a new form of video review will be tested” at this year’s tournament.
“This latest experiment is aimed at a broader category of decisions: double-bounces, net touches, or shots played before the ball has crossed the net.”
Elina Svitolina’s surge into the semi-finals of the WTA Finals means she is in the “spotlight” in The Sun. If you want to know which England cricketer she is dating, then head to The Sun.
