ON 24th March 2016; Roger Federer has pulled out of his comeback match against Juan Martin Del Potro at the Miami Open with a stomach bug. The 34-year-old was due to make his return on friday after suffering a knee injury in January while running a bath for his twin daughters. The 17-time Grand Slam champion from Switzerland needed arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus. His place in the draw is taken by lucky loser Horacio Zeballos of Argentina. Federers last match was his Australian Open semi- final defeat to world number one Novak Djokovic. The Swiss revealed on Thursday that he had spent 12 days on crutches following his first experience of surgery, and had only begun full training probably a week ago, nine days ago. "If I feel something, I wont play. Its very simple, he said. But 24 hours later it was a virus rather than the knee that forced him to withdraw.

Did you know? Denying a goalscoring opportunity: Red card rule relaxed by IFAB (International Football Association Board) Players who commit a foul to deny a goalscoring opportunity will no longer automatically be sent off, football's rule-making body has confirmed. The previous 'triple-punishment' rule required a red card - and therefore a suspension - as well as the award of a penalty under those circumstances. However, players committing accidental fouls that deny a goalscoring chance will now be cautioned instead. But deliberate fouls will still incur a red card. Those include holding, pulling or pushing, not playing the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball in order to deny a goalscoring opportunity. The change has been ratified by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) - a body made up of the four British football associations and Fifa - which decides on changes to the Laws of the Game. It follows a comprehensive, 18-month review, led by former Premier League referee David Elleray. Italy to trial video replays for penalties Meanwhile, the IFAB has selected the Italian Football Federation to carry out a new trial of video replays. The technology will be used to help referees decide whether a goal has been scored, whether a penalty should be awarded, whether a player should be sent off, or in cases of mistaken identity. Italian Football Federation president Carlo Tavecchio said: "We were among the first supporters of using technology on the pitch and we believe we have everything required to offer our contribution to this important experiment." Tests initially will be in private before moving to a live pilot phase with replay assistance by the 2017-18 season at the latest. Source: BBC Sport
