- AlphaGo, DeepMind's artificial intelligence Go-playing program, will never compete with human beings after defeating world's top-ranked player Ke Jie for the third consecutive game between them in Wuzhen, China, on May 27.

- 36-year-old Roger Federer and 31-year-old Rafael Nadal combined to sweep the men's singles titles at the four Grand Slam tournaments in 2017.

- Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo was awarded his fifth Ballon d'Or on December 7, matching the feat of Barcelona forward Lionel Messi as the player to have won the prize the most times.
