If Carlos Alcaraz was surprised by the resistance he faced in the first round, he has to be downright shocked now.

The 2022 U.S. Open champion, considered the world’s next great tennis star and the betting favorite in Flushing, was stunningly ousted Thursday night by unseeded Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp.

The third-seed Alcaraz — who had his 15-match grand slam winning streak snapped — was overwhelmed by van de Zandschulp; who entered the match with a 12-18 singles record this year; who had a lifetime 5-13 mark against top-10 players; who had advanced past the fourth round of a grand slam...

The Dallas Mavericks’ interest in Klay Thompson didn’t begin in free agency. In April, after the Golden State Warriors were blown out by the Sacramento Kings in a Play-In game as Thompson went 0-6 from 3, The Athletic’s Sam Amick reported that the Mavs were “worth watching as a possible suitor.” However, as Thompson was also linked to the Los Angeles Lakers, there was no guarantee he would leave the Warriors for them.

NEW YORK (AP) — Seemingly back in her U.S. Open match, suddenly a point from getting to a third set, Naomi Osaka lost her way Thursday night, missing forehand after forehand until she ceded that game and chucked her racket, sending it clattering on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court.  Not much later, she was out of the tournament, eliminated 6-3, 7-6 (5) by Karolina Muchova in the second round of an event where Osaka won two of her four Grand Slam titles. “It’s a little rough, because I do take these losses really personally. It’s like a dramatic word, but I feel like my heart dies every time I lose,” said Osaka, the champion at Flushing Meadows in 2018 and 2020, and at the Australian Open in 2019 and 2021. “It sucks a lot, but I’ve been trying to be more mature and learn and talk more about them.” Osaka — once ranked No. 1 but now No. 88 after missing nearly 1 1/2 years because of mental health breaks and time off to have a baby — struggled for much of the early going, dropping five consecutive games and 22 of 26 points in one stretch.
