French tennis player Alize Cornet, a six-time singles champion on the WTA circuit, has had enough of sitting at home. She just wants to play.

The former world No. 11 will do anything to feel that competitive thrill again. In a short video posted on Twitter, Cornet turns an empty road in a residential area into an imaginary court. She plays out an imaginary point, wins it with a bakchand and pumps her fist.

“#Imloosingit #vamos #Iwanttoplayyyy,” she writes in the caption. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
