Dutch oven cooking over an open fire is the ultimate camping experience. It combines the satisfaction of preparing a meal out in the wild with the actual scrumptious food when you’re dirty and happily tired–and truly, there’s nothing better. It might require a bit more effort, but cooking over the fire with cast iron reaps […]

Petra Kvitova will miss this year’s Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome due to a foot injury. The Czech, a recent title winner at Miami, announced the news on social media on Saturday.
“Unfortunately my right foot is still causing me pain so, after consulting my team, I have made the difficult decision to withdraw from Rome,” she wrote on Twitter. “I will miss the beautiful site, the Italian fans and wish the tournament a great week. I’ll work hard to be ready for the French Open.”

33-year-old Kvitova won nine of ten matches across Indian Wells and Miami, and claimed the title in Miami by defeating Elena Rubakina in a dramatic final, 7-6(14), 6-2. The 10th-ranked Czech is 17-6 on the season, overall, but lost her only match on clay in Madrid, dropping a 7-6(9), 6-1 decision to Jule Niemeier in the second round (after a bye).
The talented American will step away from the match court indefinitely. By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Friday May 5, 2023
Former World No.21 Amanda Anisimova has elected to step away from tennis in order to focus on her mental health.
The 21-year-old, who reached the semifinals at Roland-Garros as a 17-year-old in 2019, said that the sport has become “unbearable” for her of late.
“I thought I’d make a post explaining what’s been going on and my plans,” she posted on Instagram. “I’ve really been struggling with my mental health and burnout since the summer of 2022. It’s become unbearable being at tennis tournaments. At this point my priority is my mental well-being and taking a break for some time. I’ve worked as hard as I could to push through it. I will miss being out there, and I appreciate all the continuous support.”
Anisimova hasn’t had the easiest coming of age on the WTA Tour. Months after her breakout performance at Roland-Garros in 2019, her father and coach Konstantin passed away from a sudden heart attack just prior to the US Open. He was 52.
The American, a former junior Slam champion and junior World No.2, owns 2 WTA titles.
