Roughly two decades ago, Activision kicked off the Call of Duty franchise with 2003’s Call of Duty. Developed by Infinity Ward, the game laid down the foundation of the Call of Duty franchise we have today. Since then, more than 20 games in the main series, including Warzone and Warzone 2. The series has drastically changed with each game but there was one particular game in the series that was a massive jump: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Before Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, the Call of Duty franchise was known for staying grounded in terms of weaponry and technology. In simple words, Advanced Warfare flipped the table with an imaginary futuristic setting and the concept of exo-suits. The game was revealed to the players exactly 10 years ago today, and it’s safe to say that players have now realized how good it was.

Carlos Alcaraz reveled at playing on one of the outside courts at the China Open , named Lotus Court, as it evoked happy memories from the past that have a place in Spain's Olympic folklore.
Alcaraz was only five years old when countryman Rafael Nadal won a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, beating Chile's Fernando Gonzalez in straight sets in the final. The tennis matches at the Olympic Games 15 years ago were held at the National Tennis Center, formerly known as the Olympic Green Tennis Center in Beijing.
Now 20, Alcaraz is competing at this year's China Open, staged at the same setting, on his first trip to Beijing. The two-time Grand Slam champion's campaign ended at the semifinal stage where he was surprisingly beaten by rival Jannik Sinner in straight sets.
That match was played in the main court - the Diamond Court - which has a capacity of 15,000 spectators.

Rafael Nadal 's hopes of appearing at next summer's Olympic Games in Paris are in limbo, not because he may not recover from injury, but because Itf rules dictate so.
Itf rules require a player to represent his country at the Davis Cup for two years leading up to the Olympic Games. Nadal hasn't met that prerequisite and would need a special exemption, akin to what the Swiss Tennis Federation applied to enable Roger Federer to play at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Obviously, Federer wasn't able to play then due to his own injury issues and withdrew. But in Nadal's case, he is certain to recover ahead of schedule, and could even play at next year's Australian Open . He'll definitely need a helping hand from Spanish tennis officials to apply for an exemption and hope it will be successful.

Roger Federer is one of the greatest tennis players of all time, probably the most iconic player in the history of the game.
Federer's impact on tennis is incredible. From the legendary career that he crafted to the global impact, he had as the 'perfect' ambassador to the sport. His career inspired many of the players we have today with the vast majority considering him as their idol. It's why some consider him the greatest of all time even though stats might say it's somebody else.
Federer's arrival in tennis catapulted the sport to new heights becoming a global phenomenon. No player was ever as popular as Federer is and that wide support is not wavering even now a year after his retirement. It's been a year but a busy year for Federer who still has all eyeballs on himself wherever he goes.
It wasn't always like that as Federer...

Holger Rune hasn't been on the Atp Tour for too long but he is a true student of the game which was confirmed by fellow players.
Rune was famously described as someone who is obsessed with tennis by fellow player Stefanos Tsitsipas who got to see him up close at the Mouratoglou Academy which has become the St. Tropez of Tennis in recent years.
The Greek noted similarities between a young self and Rune as they were both consumed by tennis in an incredible way. The young Dane got to show off his tennis knowledge by building his own perfect player with ATPTour.com . He started off with the forehand picking Fernando Gonzalez.
It's so big and on every surface, he managed to hit it so unbelievably. I like the swing, pretty big but it's really effective.
Forehand
When it comes to the return and backhand Rune picked Novak Djokovic.
