The Wimbledon draw has been made and there are some big winners among the top seeds in the men’s draw – as well as one huge loser. Jannik Sinner is the top seed at Wimbledon for the first time in his career, but that status has not protected him from a desperately challenging draw that will see the Italian handed a host of daunting hurdles.

EASTBOURNE, England (AP) — Taylor Fritz of the U.S. became the first three-time men’s champion of the Eastbourne International on Saturday.

Former Florida tennis star McCartney Kessler is set to appear in her second Major after going 3-0 in qualifiers for the main draw at Wimbledon. Kessler went to a third set in all three of her qualifying matches, defeating Rebecca Marino of Canada, Maya Joint of Australia and top-100 ranked Renata Zarazua, in that order. Kessler mounted comebacks against Joint and Zarazua after dropping the first set in each match. Her reward is a match with world No. 9 Marina Sakkari out of Greece. Wimbledon’s Round of 128 takes place from July 1-2. A start time and location have not...

Detroit, MI

The Pistons extended a qualifying offer to Fontecchio (toe) on Saturday, and he will become a restricted free agent, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports. Fontecchio has said in the past that there is mutual interest in a return to Detroit; however, he could be swayed to leave if the price is right. The 28-year-old was acquired by the Pistons via trade with the Jazz last season, and he averaged 15.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.9 steals in 30.2 minutes, starting in nine of 16 games for Detroit.

Pistons' Simone Fontecchio: Pistons extend qualifying offer

The Pistons didn't extend Flynn a $5.81 million qualifying offer Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Flynn notably dropped 50 points off the bench in an April 3 game Atlanta, but that was essentially the only highlight of his season. All told, the 26-year-old averaged 5.5 points, 1.9 assists and 1.7 rebounds across 12.7 minutes in 69 regular-season games while bouncing around between the Raptors, Knicks and Pistons. Flynn will look to catch on elsewhere in free agency as a reserve guard.

The Magic declined to extend Harris a $1.87 million qualifying offer Friday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports. Harris spent the past two seasons in Orlando after striking a two-year, two-way deal with the Magic in the summer of 2022. He appeared in 34 games with Orlando in 2022-23, but with the club becoming more competitive and reaching the playoffs in 2023-24, Harris was often inactive and saw action in just two contests at the NBA level. Harris was solid at G League level with the Osceola Magic in 2023-24 -- he averaged 16.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from three-point range over 27 appearances -- but since he already turned 27 years old earlier this month, it's unlikely that another organization will view him as a development piece worthy of a two-way spot during the upcoming season.
