For those of us who have never pursued a sport to a professional level – of which there are a great many – it often feels impossible to imagine quite what it is like to compete against the best, to stand before crowds of thousands, or to scale the podium until you are, indisputably, one of the greats.

And, while it may be something we can never quite envisage, that doesn’t keep us from finding a great deal of value as a spectator.

The sporting world is one that many aspire to join, a relatively small few actually manage to enter – and even fewer still find themselves strong and capable enough to shake it up, and, by extension, make history. Those brief, fleeting moments it requires to smash a record, or reach a new personal milestone, create ripples the world beyond the stadium. They have the power to inspire, influence, and, of course, keep the bookies and online betting sites on their toes.

After all, today's tips available from sports guides and bookies are certainly no stranger to a few familiar names and faces – people who hold the power to sway punters and bookmakers in widely different directions, at the drop of a hat.

Some are, of course, names we have been hearing for many years now – while others are relatively new. Regardless of experience level or prestige, however, there are many who look ready to change the face of their chosen sports in 2021. Read more below.

Denis Shapovalov

While some articles focussing on the events that unfolded within Wimbledon’s Center Court this June focus on the crushing defeat Murray was forced to deal with, it is important for us to focus more keenly on the remarkable win achieved (and rightly so) by relative newcomer Denis Shapovalov, who beat the long-reigning champion 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 in a midsummer showdown that stunned fans around the world.

Thus, even Murray’s long-term supporters would be hard pushed not to feel some admiration for the tennis star, who no doubt just solidified his status as ‘the one to watch’ in the coming years.

Conor McGregor

As of 2021, Forbes announced that Irish mixed martial artist Conor McGregor is currently the World’s Highest Paid Athlete, with earnings exceeding $180 million since 2020.

Of course, anyone who follows the UFC double champion will know that, these days, he collects some pretty notable pay cheques from avenues beyond the Octagon, with plenty of business interests keeping him more than comfortable – but, even then, his total worth will be hard to beat, even for the world’s top athletes.

Cristiano Ronaldo

If there was ever a football player who needed no introduction, Cristiano Ronaldo would be that guy. With a remarkable career spanning almost two decades (Ronaldo joined professional football in 2002, and signed with Manchester in 2003) and more records and accolades than he could possibly keep track of, it’s hard to imagine Ronaldo ever finding another way to improve upon things.

Still, Ronaldo is that wild card that keeps on changing the game and, as of the group stages of the EUFA Euro 2021, he earned himself another record. Surpassing Michel Platini, Ronaldo has now scored more goals in European Championships than any other player in history – following his defeat over Hungary this June.

What’s more, he may even be in the running for his first UEFA European Championship Golden Boot, having been beaten by Antoine Griezmann in 2016.

Simone Biles

Anyone who casts even the most cursory glance toward gymnastics at the Olympic Game will no doubt recognise Simone Biles as one of the greatest athletes to appear within this sport. With twenty-five World medals, and nineteen Gold, Biles’ name alone is sufficient to inspire plenty of awe and excitement from the crowd.

Now, as we near the Tokyo Olympic Games, Bile’s greatest challenge lies before her. If she wins the Olympic all-round title, then she will officially become the oldest woman to win the award in more than half a century – a remarkable feat for one of the most impressive athletes of the 21^st century.

Ryan Crouser

Common advice always seems to follow the idea of ‘don’t peak to soon’ and, hopefully for American shot-putter and discus thrower Ryan Crouser, he has headed popular advice.

Anyone who was watching the US Olympic Track and Field Trials earlier this year – organised, of course, in preparation for the Tokyo event, beginning in July – will no doubt remember the moment Crouser smashed the existing shot put record for the rest of their lives. Achieving a distance of 23.37 meters, around 25cm further than the previous record set by Barnes more than 30 years ago.

American track and field enthusiasts will no doubt be glued to the television sets when this 2016 champion takes to the field.

Mark Cavendish

At the start of 2020, Deceuninck–Quick-Step sprinter Mark Cavendish saw in the year with 30 stage wins from past Tour de France races under his belt – and no real intentions to participate in the 2021 race. But, as fate would have it, Cavendish found himself at the Grand Départ on Saturday 26^th June – taking the place of his teammates Jakobsen and Bennett, following injuries that left them unable to ride.

And, it seems, fate has plenty planned for Cavendish – not to mention his incredible strength, which has returned for the 2021 Tour de France with great aplomb – who is currently on-track to achieve the record for most Tour stage wins of all time.

Winning this record would see him surpass the legendary Eddy Merckx in the history books. Already, he has achieved two stage wins – bringing his total up to 32 – and bringing him just three wins away from surpassing Merckx’s record of 34.

Lewis Hamilton

While he may have seen it coming, all signs point to 2021 acting as something of a curve ball to Hamilton who, as of the start of the racing season, has consistently missed out on poll – and his usual winning streak – to Red Bull’s Verstappen. Points of frustration have been plain to see in those who have tuned in to watch the past nine races – of which Hamilton (and Mercedes) has won only 3.

Still, that’s not to say that the fairy-tale is unravelling for Hamilton. Just this week, the champion driver signed a new two year extension with Mercedes, worth a mind-blowing £80m. If he can turn his luck around over the course of the next fourteen Grand Prix races, he is on track to win his eighth world title – and beat Michel Schumacher’s hallowed record as the world’s greatest F1 driver in history. No mean feat, but one that Hamilton has proven himself capable of tackling over the years.

Yesterday, the news that the most famous football star Cristiano Ronaldo tested positive for coronavirus took the internet by storm. According to the official confirmation of the Portuguese soccer federation, despite contracting the virus, the Juventus star didn’t show any symptoms of sickness. In fact, the test has been carried out for all Portugal team players in advance of their match against Sweden. All of them, including CR7, was surprised to know the result as the football star has been doing well all the time. Due to the positive test result, Cristiano Ronaldo had to drop out of the upcoming matches and spend weeks in isolation starting from yesterday.

While Ronaldo remains silent about his health condition, the world’s most famous football player earlier was in the limelight as he and his team Juventus got slammed for breaking the quarantine rule despite the two positive cases found in Italy. To be more specific, CR7, along with Paulo Dybala, Danilo, Juan Cuadrado, and Rodrigo Bentancur reportedly left the hotel to come back to their countries without waiting for the coronavirus test result.

Apart from Cristiano Ronaldo, a lot of high profile and famous people in the world have been confirmed to test positive to the virus including US President Donal Trump. However, he soon recovered from the disease and got back to the election race a while ago. In addition to that, former wrestler and Hollywood superstar The Rock Dwayne Johnson earlier confessed that he and his entire family tested positive to COVID-19. Although it was a tough time for them, they overcame together.

There’s one thing that has kind of become a trend in the past decade: Celebrities have to have their own mobile games. Kim Kardashian and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are just some examples of this, and now Cristiano Ronaldo is also jumping onto the train with his new free-to-play mobile game title Cristiano Ronaldo: Soccer Clash.

It is not exactly a surprise if you really think about it, considering that the football star is not one to miss out on a marketing opportunity. In a recent news release, Ronaldo calls this a new and entertaining way to connect with fans. However, it’s questionable if he even knows much about the game, let alone play it.

But back to the main topic, Cristiano Ronaldo: Soccer Clash is a football game that sees players face off against each other in head-to-head shootouts. Basically your character is put on different places on the field, and you swipe on the screen to determine which direction you want to send the ball in to bypass your opponent’s defense and score a goal. There are some powers that you can choose to use to improve your chance, such as slowing the goalkeeper down, or freezing the defenders. On the other hand, when you are on the defensive, you try to prevent the other player from doing the same by controlling your goalkeeper and defenders, and you also have powers of your own like making it rain or deflating the ball so that it is harder to aim accurately.

Yes, it’s very simple, but is it fun?

Well, the answer is, it is not exactly bad, but it is not anything to write home about either.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Soccer Clash is currently available for free on Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and like many games on mobile these days, it has tons of in-app purchases.

As you play through the game, you will earn bags filled with several kinds of loot, such as cosmetics or new balls to use when it’s your turn to shoot. There are items for you to customize your character with, or you can upgrade your balls to increase their stats such as power, curve, and accuracy. But these loot bags have timers on them. You only need to wait 3 minutes for bronze-tier bags, but that number increases exponentially for higher-tier bags, beginning with 24 minutes for silver. To speed up this process, you have to spend in-game gold, which in turn can be purchased using real money. Other cosmetics are also available through microtransactions. All these are very common in mobile games, especially the free ones, since they are the primary way for these games to make money.

Sadly, the gameplay itself is not what you would call engrossing. In fact, if it had not come from Cristiano Ronaldo but from a lesser-known developer, surely there wouldn’t be too many people willing to play it, much less spend money on it.

But ultimately Soccer Clash is still technically a free game, so it doesn’t hurt if you want to check it out. However, it’s just not worth it to actually spend money on this game.
