In a series of major shifts in sports this week, Andy Murray is set to join Jack Draper's coaching team ahead of the Wimbledon season. Murray's involvement comes as Draper splits from Jamie Delgado, Murray's former coach.

On the golf scene, Rory McIlroy expressed surprise over Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund retracting its backing for LIV Golf, stating that previous misunderstandings might lead to a more balanced approach in the golfing world.

Additionally, Jon Rahm emphasized concentrating on gameplay rather than the future of LIV. In baseball, the Dodgers made a crucial trade by acquiring outfielder Alek Thomas. Swimming icon Ryan Lochte is also moving forward, accepting a coaching role at Missouri State.
