On that note, here's a quick recap of the day's biggest headlines:
Mardy Fish thinks Carlos Alcaraz is dating someone from WTA Tour
Former American tennis pro Mardy Fish recently suggested that World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz might be dating someone from the WTA Tour. This was after the Spaniard hilariously struggled to name his favorite player in women's tennis.
This incident took place during the two-time Grand Slam champion's on-court interview with Jim Courier after his fourth-round victory against Miomir Kecmanovic at the 2024 Australian Open.
Fish took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:
"My man has gotta be dating someone on WTA Tour…??"
Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios rekindle their bromance at Australian Open 2024
Novak Djokovic battled past Taylor Fritz to reach the 2024 Australian Open semifinals on Tuesday (January 23). Despite some early struggles, the World No. 1 clinched a 7-6(3), 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 victory and is now set to face Jannik Sinner for a spot in the final.
Djokovic's on-court interview was surprisingly conducted by his old friend Nick Kyrgios, who is now working as a commentator for Eurosport. They shared a friendly chat and the 24-time Major champion mentioned he was eager to see Kyrgios playing again soon.
Rafael Nadal confirmed to make a comeback at Qatar Open
Rafael Nadal is set to make a return at the 2024 Qatar Open, which will take place from February 19-24 in Doha. The entry list, released today, includes the Spaniard's name along with players like Daniil Medvedev, Andy Murray and Andrey Rublev.
This news comes after Nadal's withdrawal from the Australian Open due to a micro muscle tear in his hip. The Spaniard suffered the injury during his quarterfinal match at the Brisbane International against Jordan Thompson.
Martina Navratilova suggests double standards in NFL fans' attitudes towards Taylor Swift & Jason Kelce
Jason Kelce made headlines by passionately supporting his brother, Travis Kelce, during the Kansas City Chiefs' playoff win against the Buffalo Bills on Monday (January 22). Jason's shirtless celebration and loud cheer for Travis' first touchdown quickly went viral, earning praise from NFL fans.
Pop icon Taylor Swift attended the game too, donning a Chiefs jersey in support of her boyfriend Travis. However, contrary to Jason's positive reception, the 'Love Story' famed singer faced backlash from the football community.
Following that, Martina Navratilova, known for her outspokenness about social issues, used X (formerly Twitter) to defend Swift, writing:
"Right? The hypocrisy is quite stunning."
