 Carlos Alcaraz turned to his box, clenching his fist in delight with that familiar intensity. This remains relatively new ground for the Wimbledon champion, who is still just 21, but after improving his record on grass to 19-3, this straight-sets victory (7-6, 6-2, 6-3) over Aleksandar Vukic appeared ordinary. Yet a closer inspection revealed a crucial habit that could enable the Spaniard to defend his title and move to four career grand slams.A defiant Novak Djokovic, gritting his teeth through the lingering effects of surgery, and the world No 1, Jannik Sinner, pose obvious threats to this promising title...

 The last time Carlos Alcaraz failed to make it into the third round of a Grand Slam, Daniil Medvedev sent him packing at Wimbledon on Court One.For Aleksandar Vukic to do likewise three years later, on the same Wimbledon court but against a very different model of the Alcaraz machine, felt mission improbable pre-match and, after a decisive missed opportunity, near enough impossible.Vukic served for the opening set, having won four games in a row through some big serving and punishing forehands, but Alcaraz hit back, won the tie-break and from there stormed into the third round with a...

Coco Gauff records rapid victory to breeze through Wimbledon second-round clash

No.2 seed Coco Gauff has been in strong form through the first two rounds of Wimbledon, dropping just six games in four sets played. But Gauff's game isn't all that's been making headlines for the American on-court at the All England Club: Her New Balance kit at this year's Championships—which features a striking cutout at the mid-back and two at the hips—and the honey-blonde braids she's debuted in her hair, has had fans on social media recalling similar looks worn by Serena Williams at SW19 in the past (including the Nike dress that the former world No. 1 wore in 2019, in the year she reached her last Wimbledon final).

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

LAUSSANE, Switzerland (AP) — American tennis player Sydney Dorcil had her appeal against a four-year doping ban rejected by sport's highest court on Tuesday. The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld a ruling by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) to ban Dorcil until Jan. 12, 2027 after she tested positive for boldenone and its metabolites in November 2022 at an ITF World Tennis Tour event in Lima, Peru.

Wimbledon Day 5 Women’s Predictions Including Emma Racudanu vs Maria Sakkari

"I'm over the moon to be playing here and just extend my stay by one more day," Emma Raducanu said after her 6-1, 6-2 win over Elise Mertens in the second round of Wimbledon on Wednesday. For a 21-year-old, it was rather jarring for Raducanu to sound grateful just to be on a tennis court. She sounded like a 36-year-old close to the finish line, not a player with years left in the tank. But those who've followed Raducanu's young career would identify with her mindset. Exactly a year ago, she dealt with a myriad of ankle and wrist injuries that forced...
