LONDON (AP) — Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova returned to the WTA’s top 10 for the first time in six months on Monday, and runner-up Jasmine Paolini rose to a career-best No. 5. Krejcikova’s run to her second Grand Slam title, capped by a 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 victory over Paolini on Saturday, allowed the 28-year-old player from the Czech Republic to jump 22 places to No. 10. Krejcikova had last been that high in the rankings the week of Jan. 8; in the past, she reached No. 2 in singles and No. 1 in doubles. Paolini moved up from No. 7 by becoming the first woman since Serena Williams to get to the finals at Wimbledon and the French Open in the same year. Paolini lost to Iga Swiatek in the title match at Roland Garros last month. Carlos Alcaraz’s second consecutive championship at the All England Club, and fourth major title overall, did not affect his ranking. He stayed at No. 3, with Jannik Sinner still at No. 1 despite losing in the quarterfinals, and runner-up Novak Djokovic held on to the No. 2 spot after being defeated by Alcaraz 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) on Sunday.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

One of these six spectacular cats may be your next pet
