Tennis icon set to become oldest singles competitor at Flushing Meadows since 1981 after receiving wild-card entry — yet another historic moment in a career already filled with them, writes HOWARD FENDRICH

WITH Sandown called off it leaves racing for Saturday a bit light. I will touch on my best bets for this afternoon, but today’s column will mainly look forward to the Cheltenham Festival next week, with four days of the highest-class jump racing from Tuesday to Friday.
As far as this afternoon is concerned the best bet comes at Wolverhampton, where they have a cracking card.
The feature event is the Listed Wilfruna Stakes at 2.45 and I think that there is every chance that there could be a huge boil-over here in the form of GHAITH (nap).
