News about Fernando Verdasco

It's not quite over yet for Andrew Barron Murray. But then it almost never began. If he decides to make another appearance on Centre Court before limping away from his sport, will we be so surprised? One suspects nothing other than chronic injury would have stopped him. Tomas Machac could make it a last hurrah later on Tuesday if Murray reckons he can compete. The cheers have not only echoed down the decades but defined a tennis era in Britain. Murray has played his body against his mind in a match spanning more than 20 years. At 37, he is fated to view a long-term future that does not include competitive, elite tennis.

Tennis players have been warned of the use of drugs to treat ADHD, despite concerns that some may use it to gain a competitive edge rather than fighting a true disease. The government that was charged with maintaining the sport has sent a note to all male and female professionals, reminding them of their role in treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (TDH). The letter, which was seen on Sportsmail, emphasizes that strong evidence - which may help with concentration - is absolutely required in support of any request for a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption).

After the Spaniard's suspension of two months for a drug for ADHD, Nick Kyrgios resurgent his war of words with Fernando Verdasco. Verdasco, a 39-year-old man, said he was taking methylphenidate as a prescription by his doctor to treat ADHD, but forgot to renew his therapeutic use exemption (TUE) for the drug. Verdasco has now been granted an exception by the World Anti-Doping Agency (ITIA), according to the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA).
