UEFA has confirmed that the 2022 Champions League final will take place at the Stade de France in Paris, moving it from Saint Petersburg in response to Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine. The date remains the same as before, May 28. UEFA have also confirmed that no European football matches will take place in Russia or Ukraine until further notice. This affects Spartak Moscow’s Europa League tie against RB Leipzig, as well as a few Nations League matches for the two nations.
In tennis, Rafael Nadal continued his stunning start to 2022 by beating incoming world number one Daniil Medvedev to set up a Mexican Open final against Britain’s Cameron Norrie. Spain’s Nadal, who beat Medvedev in last month’s epic Australian Open final, won 6-3 6-3 against the Russian. Meanwhile, Norrie, reached the final with a 6-4 6-4 win over Greece’s world number four Stefanos Tsitsipas. Norrie has won eight matches in a row after lifting the Delray Beach title.
