Krejikova downs Ostapenko in battle of past French Open champs

Barbora Krejcikova reached her first Wimbledon semifinal under blue skies on Wednesday with a 6-4, 7-6 (4) victory over Latvian 13th seed Jelena Ostapenko in the battle of past French Open champions. The Czech 31st seed kept her composure from the back of the court to force her adversary into 35 unforced errors across the match, as Ostapenko’s bid for a second Grand Slam title since her first in 2017 unraveled on Court One. Krejcikova won her first Grand Slam title on the red clay at Roland Garros in 2021, but never had put together a five-match winning streak on grass until now. […]

Lewis Hamilton takes record ninth victory at British GP; Max Verstappen second

Lewis Hamilton won a dramatic British Grand Prix in mixed conditions, ending a victory drought that stretched back to the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver defeated his old foe Max Verstappen to the win by 1.4 seconds, and in doing so took his ninth win on home soil at Silverstone — the most for any driver at a single circuit in Formula One history. An emotional Hamilton stated afterwards: “I can’t stop crying. I know it’s been since 2021, every day getting up trying to put my mind to the task and work as hard as I […]

Dodgers’ Ohtani snaps slump, achieves rare feat at plate

The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar had a day at the plate on Saturday that has happened only three times since 1909. The Japanese slugger went 2-for-2 with two RBIs in the Dodgers’ 5-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. That seems pedestrian until seeing that in five plate appearances Ohtani had a home run, a triple and two walks and was hit by a pitch while also registering a stolen base. According to MLB, Ohtani is the third player with a home run, triple, walk, hit by pitch and stolen base in a game. Looking for the best online betting site and Live betting? Visit […]

Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Jannik Sinner advance at Wimbledon

Defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz and top seed Jannik Sinner took contrasting routes into the third round of Wimbledon, but eighth seed Casper Ruud was unable to find a way through and felt the gloom on a cloudy Wednesday at the All England Club. Alcaraz came close to dropping the opening set of his match versus Australian Aleksandar Vukic, but the third seed sprang to life to secure a 7-6 (5), 6-2, 6-2 win. Alcaraz stated he was rediscovering the form that led him to the 2023 title. “I’m feeling similar … obviously, I’m getting better and better. Hopefully, if I keep winning, I’m going to find […]

France move past Belgium into Euro quarters on late own goal

Substitute Randal Kolo Muani’s shot forced an own goal five minutes from time to give France a nervy but deserved 1-0 Euro 2024 round-of-16 victory over a disappointing Belgium on Monday. France made most of the running in a cagey game but were reckless with their finishing, until a nice combination of passes, finished off by N’Golo Kanté, finally created space for Kolo Muani to bundle his shot in off the leg of Jan Vertonghen. France will now meet the winner of Monday’s match between Portugal and Slovenia in the quarterfinals in Hamburg on Friday. “We’re enjoying this, we pushed hard, we had a lot of attempts but we were missing […]

Astros infielder Jose Altuve ejected in victory at Mets

Jose Altuve was hopping mad. He had appeared to foul a ball off his left foot in the seventh inning of Sunday’s match at the New York Mets, with runners on second and third and two outs as the Houston Astros tried to boost their 4-2 lead. The ball went on three hops to third baseman Mark Vientos, who threw to first as Altuve remained near the batter’s box. Umpires ruled it an inning-ending groundout, and Altuve was ejected for the second time in his major league career after tossing his helmet and bat. “They didn’t see it,” Altuve said after the Astros’ 10-5 victory in 11 […]

Tatsuro Taira stays unbeaten with stoppage win over Alex Perez

The undefeated Tatsuro Taira earned the biggest victory of his UFC career with a second-round stoppage of Alex Perez in the main event of UFC on ESPN 58 at the UFC Apex. The fight certainly didn’t end the way Taira would have liked, however. Perez suffered a leg injury after Taira took him down with a unique body triangle while on his back. Perez fell awkwardly and yelled in pain when he hit the canvas. “It’s a special technique that only I can do,” Taira stated after the finish. Although it was a surprising ending, Taira (16-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), 24, had started to […]

Scottie Scheffler brushes off being ‘target’ at U.S. Open

Even though Scottie Scheffler won in five of his last eight starts and is an overwhelming betting favorite to capture his third major championship victory at this week’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, the world No. 1 golfer insists that he doesn’t feel like there’s a target on his back. “Like I said, when we start the tournament week, we’re all at even par and it’s not like anybody is out there playing defense,” Scheffler said Tuesday. With his 1-stroke victory at last week’s Memorial Tournament, Scheffler became only the fourth PGA Tour player in the past 60 seasons to pile […]

Max Verstappen claims victory over Lando Norris in thrilling Canadian GP

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen came out on top in a thrilling Canadian Grand Prix, defeating McLaren’s Lando Norris to victory by 3.8 seconds at the chequered flag. The Mercedes of George Russell, Norris and Verstappen all led the race at different phases, with Norris losing the lead to Verstappen as a result of the timing of a safety car on lap 25 of 70. Once out in front, Verstappen avoided a number of potential pitfalls — including a switch from intermediate to slick tires and a second safety car on lap 53 — to take his sixth triumph of the […]

Red Sox hand White Sox team-record 14th straight loss

Ceddanne Rafaela had four hits and drove in four runs Thursday as the visiting Boston Red Sox handed the Chicago White Sox their 14th successive defeat, 14-2. Tanner Houck (6-5) limited Chicago to two runs on three hits in seven innings. He struck out nine. Jarren Duran, Enmanuel Valdez and Jamie Westbrook each homered for Boston. Duran, who had four hits in the victory, led off the game with a homer against Chicago’s Jake Woodford, and Valdez hit a three-run home run against Woodford (0-2) in the fourth. Westbrook’s home run was the first of his major league career and […]
