Jack Grealish, who represented Ireland at youth level before switching allegiance to England, will come in for some abuse from home fans in Saturday's Nations League match between the sides in Dublin, Ireland striker Callum Robinson said.

Manchester City attacker Grealish, who was dropped from England's Euro 2024 squad by former head coach Gareth Southgate, was recalled by interim manager Lee Carsley last week for matches against Ireland and Finland.

Robinson, who went in the opposite direction as Grealish in playing for England's youth teams before switching to Ireland, expected the 28-year-old to handle the hot reception.

"I think he'll be getting ready for a bit of abuse but that's part of it, it's part of the game," Robinson, Grealish's former teammate at Aston Villa, said on Tuesday.

"He's old enough and with being a senior player now, that stuff's going to come.

"I'd be surprised if he doesn't because I think he gets booed anywhere he goes anyway, even in England."

Maria Sharapova, a five-time Grand Slam singles champion, and the doubles team of brothers Mike and Bob Bryan are on the ballot for International Tennis Hall of Fame’s class of 2025.

Daniel Nestor, a 12-time major doubles champion from Canada, also returns to the ballot that was announced Tuesday.

Sharapova is one of 10 women to complete the career Grand Slam, winning her first major at Wimbledon in 2004 at 17. The Russian twice won the French Open, captured titles at the US Open in 2006 and Australian Open in 2008, reached No. 1 in the WTA rankings and spent 408 weeks in the top 5.

The Bryans teamed for 16 major titles, the 2012 Olympic gold medal and a record 438 weeks atop the doubles rankings. Mike Bryan is the career leader with 18 Grand Slam doubles titles, winning a pair with Jack Sock while his twin brother was injured in 2018.

Nestor won eight doubles and four mixed doubles major titles, along with the Olympic gold medal in 2000.

The class will be announced in October and enshrinement weekend is set for Aug. 21-23, 2025.
