Éamonn Fitzmaurice surprised by Jack O'Connor outburst
Éamonn Fitzmaurice was surprised by Kerry manager Jack O'Connor's decision to take aim at his team's detractors following their swashbuckling All-Ireland SFC quarter-final win over Armagh. The All-Ireland champions were sent packing from Croke Park as a devastating 15-minute spell in the second half saw Kerry reel off 14 points unanswered and ensure their passage to the last four despite some indifferent form this season. Addressing the media after the game, O'Connor lashed out at critics both inside and outside the county. "We were being portrayed as a one-man team," he said, while also appearing to have a swipe at Darragh Ó Sé in the Irish Times, who said there was an air of inevitability about Kerry exiting to Armagh at the quarter-final stage. "Dublin got beaten by Meath in the Leinster Championship and I didn't see any ex-Dublin players coming out slating the team or slating the management like we had down south in our county," he added. Speaking on the RTÉ GAA podcast, Fitzmaurice said given the nature of Kerry's performance, he was taken aback by O'Connor's comments. "I was surprised because generally after a win like that, Jack is effusive," he said. "I'd say on a human level he was hurt. I know he had a small bit of a nibble after the Cavan game last weekend, but he obviously decided this week that he was going to unleash the double barrel. "He had his say, and probably feels better for it today." Having entered the game as underdogs, Fitzmaurice, who led Kerry to Sam Maguire in 2014, says they're was much to enjoy from a Kerry perspective with a return to the capital in a fortnight to take on old foes Tyrone. "It was an amazing performance," he said. "The last few weeks, as it has turned out, has been good for them, because it has brought an edge out in them. "I was proud of the players and the approach of the management team. You could see what it meant to the players afterwards. "The trick now will be trying to get to that level again in two weeks' time." Watch the All-Ireland Camogie Championship quarter-finals with RTÉ Sport.

Carlos Alcaraz made to sweat but marches on at Wimbledon
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz made heavy weather of his opening match at Wimbledon, needing five sets to see off Italian veteran Fabio Fognini on a baking Centre Court. On the hottest opening day in Wimbledon history with the temperature reaching a sweltering 32 degrees Celsius, Alcaraz was almost caught cold by a 38-year-old who is due to retire at the end of the year. The second seed eventually came through a marathon encounter 7-5 6-7 (5) 7-5 2-6 6-1 in an energy-sapping four hours and 37 minutes. Alcaraz said: "To be honest I don't know why it's his last Wimbledon, he can still play three or four more years. Unbelievable. "Playing the first match is never easy, I've been playing well on grass but Wimbledon is different. I tried to play the best I could but I would say I could be better. It was a great match." In the first four sets the Alcaraz serve was misfiring and his forehand was erratic, and the flamboyant Fognini almost took advantage. The 38-year-old he was going through his array of flicks and tricks as he enjoyed what was his final appearance in SW19. He almost embarked on a lap of honour after coming out on top in one mesmerising rally which left Alcaraz, 16 years his junior, leaning on his towel box gasping for breath. The roar Alcaraz let out when he came from a break down to take the third set illustrated just how much he was being tested. When Fognini levelled the match for a second time former champion Pat Cash, commentating for the BBC, said he could be witnessing "the biggest upset in Wimbledon history". Lleyton Hewitt, in 2003, is the only men's defending champion to lose in the first round in the Open era. But Alcaraz avoided joining that exclusive club when he secured an early break in the decider, then saved two break points before a 15-minute delay while a spectator was treated after falling ill in the extreme heat. Fognini's moment had passed and Alcaraz maintained his bid to join Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic as the only men to win three successive Wimbledon crowns. Should he achieve the 'three-peat' he would also equal the feat of his hero Rafael Nadal, who won the French Open, Queen's and Wimbledon titles in 2008. Alcaraz will face British qualifier Oliver Tarvet in round two and added: "I saw his name when he qualified for the first time, he's in the second round so he's at a level. I will have to bring my best tennis to the match." There were plenty of shocks on day one with furious ninth seed Daniil Medvedev (above) smashing up his rackets after losing to French journeyman Benjamin Bonzi. The combustible Russian, who reached the semi-finals last year, tumbled out 7-6 (2) 3-6 7-6 (3) 6-2 in just over three hours. Eight seed Holger Rune blew a two-set lead as he fell in five to inspired Chilean Nicolas Jarry. Former world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas is also out after retiring from his match against Valentin Royer. The Greek, seeded 24th, had treatment on his back in the second set and called it a day while trailing 6-3 6-2, handing Frenchman Royer, the world number 113, a first tour-level win.
