Winners — Tennis playersFor getting to play tennis. As someone who has to do the odd overnight shift, in obviously less exerting conditions, I’m not feeling sympathy to the late hour/early morning playing conditions of tennis players. Winners — Women’s rugbyThe Black Ferns Sevens had the better of their opponents on the field all weekend in Hamilton ... and they had the better of their male rivals in catching the public eye. With many of the men’s Sevens players largely unknown to all but the most avid fan, the Ferns squad featured stars of last year’s XVs World Cup title. Look for more fireworks from Bracewell the next time the Black Caps are in India for the World Cup in October.
