Sam Kerr, 31, the captain of the Matildas, cut a sporty figure while enjoying a vacation with her fiancée, Kristie Mewis, in Perth on Friday.

The couple embraced quality time together as Kristie proudly celebrated her pregnancy journey.

The dynamic pair, renowned for their athletic achievements, exuded happiness during their relaxed getaway.

Their Perth vacation highlighted their strong bond, inspiring fans globally with their love and unwavering support for one another.

There are growing concerns surrounding Emma Raducanu after a five-week absence from competitive tennis. The former US Open champion hasn’t played since her heavy defeat to Amanda Anisimova at Indian Wells, sparking speculation she may skip part—or all—of the upcoming clay season.

She has already withdrawn from events in Miami and Linz, citing lingering effects of a viral illness first reported earlier this year. Although she’s listed for the Madrid Open, doubts remain about whether she’ll compete, especially with limited updates on her recovery.

Her ranking has slipped to 29, putting her seeding position for Wimbledon at risk. With points to defend in Rome, she may need strong results soon. However, clay has historically been her least comfortable surface, with inconsistent performances and past struggles adapting her movement.

Preparations have also been unsettled following her split from coach Francisco Roig. Without a full-time replacement, she’s relying on limited support, while training conditions in London offer few proper clay courts. Reports suggest she could abandon the clay swing entirely and shift focus to the grass season instead.

Sam Kerr stayed in top form, opening the scoring as Chelsea F.C. Women secured a 2–1 FA Cup quarter-final win over Tottenham Hotspur Women. Fresh from international duty, the Matildas captain has now scored in back-to-back matches, continuing an impressive run in front of goal.

Her 40th-minute header highlighted her quality, arriving amid speculation about her future at Chelsea. Reports have linked the 32-year-old with a move to Denver Summit, though Kerr’s recent social media activity has left fans uncertain about what comes next.

Tottenham responded early in the second half through Eveliina Summanen, but Chelsea had the final say. Teenager Veerle Buurman struck late in the 86th minute to seal the win and keep the club’s FA Cup ambitions alive despite an inconsistent season.

Chelsea now look ahead to a semi-final clash with Manchester City Women, featuring fellow Matilda Mary Fowler. Manager Sonia Bompastor remains determined, emphasizing the team’s desire to fight for silverware and return to Wembley for another final appearance.
