Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson played professional baseball and football, and Renaldo Nehemiah, the first 110-meter hurdler to run under 13 seconds, played for the San Francisco 49ers for three seasons.

The British tennis-sphere gasped earlier this month. For the third time this year, the teen sensation Emma Raducanu had to quit in the middle of the match because of an injury.
