Manchester City Womens striker Nikita Parris was destined to play for England, according to big sister and Team GB Olympic heroine Natasha Jonas. Dee Ford Super Bowl Jersey . Former Everton Ladies striker Parris impressed after making her full international debut earlier this year, ending the competitive season with three goals in Englands last three Euro 2017 qualifiers.She was destined to play for England and I always felt it was only a matter of time, Jonas told Sky Sports. Shes absolutely smashed every game that shes played in and shes transferred what she has done for City onto the international stage. Parris is part of an England squad that feature team-mates Toni Duggan (top) and Jill Scott Thats not always easy and I think the fact that she is surrounded by so many of her team-mates at club level has helped her because they know and understand how she plays.She plays with her heart on her sleeve and I know she will keep trying to put her best performances in to stay in that team [ahead of next summers Euros].Jonas was a talented footballer herself, earning a scholarship to play in America as a teenager, before a knee injury ended her football career prematurely. Parris won a FA WSL1 and Continental Cup double with Manchester City this season She turned her hand to boxing upon returning to England and went on to win a world bronze medal before making history at London 2012 as Team GBs first female Olympic boxer.It could have been oh so different. It could have been both of us in an England shirt, Jonas said.When that injury ended my career, naturally, I was very disappointed but as that door shut another one opened and I took my opportunity.I ended up going to the Olympics from it after all was said and done so it didnt turn out too badly. Jonas was a left-winger before she took up boxing Jonas announced her retirement from boxing in April last year after falling pregnant. She gave birth to baby Mela in December and the 32-year-old says she is enjoying every minute of motherhood.Shes 11 months old now so Im just planning her first birthday now, she said.Being a mum is a different experience for me but the most enjoyable one of my life so far. Melas just started to crawl and she loves getting down on the floor and getting into mischief everywhere but shes still probably a bit too young to put on the boxing gloves just yet!

A lawyer for MLB, Matthew Menchel, confirmed Wednesday the league dropped its case against Biogenesis of America, its owner Anthony Bosch and several other individuals. The lawsuit had accused Biogenesis and Bosch of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned performance-enhancing substances. WIMBLEDON -- British qualifier Marcus Willis went to sleep Tuesday night knowing he would play Roger Federer on Centre Court and thinking it just doesnt get any better than this.Then it did.Spitting rain caused officials to close the stadiums roof Wednesday morning, transforming Centre Court into a luminous, shimmering soap bubble in which serves and forehands echo like cannon fire in a Thunderdome.The indoor atmosphere helped Willis, who has a big serve. His riveting backstory made the crowd love him way beyond the mere fact of his being British. Even Federer loved Willis story, but that only helped to a point. Federer ultimately burst the teaching pros bubble with an entertaining 6-0, 6-3, 6-4 win that left everyone satisfied and feeling good about themselves.Given all the British have been through in recent days -- what with Brexit and the shocking beating the English soccer team suffered at the hands of Iceland -- that was quite an achievement. Credit Willis with a huge assist to Federer.When you win 17 Grand Slam tournaments, you get a feeling for special moments.As I was playing, I was thinking, This is definitely one of the matches Ill remember. Federer said. I start forgetting some, but this one will stand out because its that special -- and probably not going to happen again for me to play against a guy 770 [officially No. 772] in the world.Federer didnt begrudge a single hopeful voice raised in the underdogs cause.Im sure I got less support probably back in 1999 when I got the wild card on Court 8, lost in five sets, because nobody cared, Federer said. But Willis deserved more. He deserved more in the bigger moments. He played some great points. He fought hard. Great personality for a Centre Court like this.Willis is a roguish, self-deprecating 25-year-old who lives with his parents. (Living the life, he quipped the other day.) A droll, dont-worry-be-happy kind of guy, he was a promising junior who delivered mostly trouble and a poor attitude. On one occasion, it got him sent home early from a trip to Australia.He ultimately decided that training was too drainning. Richard Sherman Super Bowl Jersey. . He planned to migrate to Philadelphia, but then he met his current girlfriend, who convinced him to stay.When told his story sounds like the plot of the rom-com movie Wimbledon Willis said, Ive never seen it, really. Im not a massive film-watcher. Im quite fidgety.A few weeks ago, working a job at the Warwick Boat Club in Warwickshire earning about 40 bucks an hour, Willis founds out he was accepted as the last man into Wimbledon pre-qualifying. Seven matches later, he was looking across the net at the all-time mens Grand Slam singles champion. He described the experience as surreal.I did look up twice as I bounced the ball and saw Roger Federer, and thought, Oh, havent seen this before, Willis said.Willis says his own tennis ruination was partly because of his weakness for seeing off too many pints.But Willis got religious after wasting a few good years, and he showed enough class here to feel hopeful for the future.Against Federer, the first set was an education. For a journeyman, playing against the Swiss maestro is like having to watch a movie in fast forward.He makes you feel like youve got no time, Willis said. He puts a lot of balls on the court in big points. You cant leave the ball anywhere short or high. Its just gone. Hes just ridiculous.Once Willis shed his jitters and adjusted, though, his heavy serve and duplicitous lefty spins and dinks served him pretty well.He has a nice serve, Federer said. I struggled reading it, especially on the ad side. He was doing a great job of mixing that up. I believe he can make big strides. But then again, dont forget the challengers are brutal; so are the futures. When he gets stuck between 200 and 500, 600, 700, its a big step getting out of that.Such realistic concerns are best left for another time. On this gloomy day at Wimbledon, reformed slouch Marcus Willis brought a little magic into the life of everyone, including Roger Federer.And how many people can make that claim? ' ' '
