The key takeaways from Wimbledon
That's it - Wimbledon is all over for another year.

As usual, the grass-court Grand Slam is one of the highlights of the British sporting calendar and the two weeks did not disappoint.
There were highs and lows, to and fros, tears of joy, tears of sorrow - and lots of cracking tennis.
Here are the main takeaways from the 2025 championships...

Sin-caraz here to stay
The level of shot-making and athleticism produced by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz as their fast-developing rivalry continued in the men's singles final was a joy to behold.
Except, perhaps, if you're one of the guys trying to usurp them. The pair look set to maintain a stranglehold on the men's game for the foreseeable future.

Certainly it will take something extraordinary for somebody to prevent Sinner or Alcaraz winning the US Open and sweeping the Grand Slams for the second successive season.
Swiatek joins all-court greats
Few would have picked Iga Swiatek pre-tournament as their women's champion.
But the 24-year-old Pole has now won majors on all the surfaces after needing just 57 minutes to beat Amanda Anisimova in a scarcely believable 6-0 6-0 win.
Despite a difficult year where she dropped down the rankings, Swiatek has reasserted some of her authority after becoming the youngest woman since Serena Williams in 2002 to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces.

Time catching up with Djokovic
In truth, this has been apparent for a while. Novak Djokovic has not won a major title since the 2023 US Open and it was widely accepted Wimbledon represented his best chance of breaking the Sinner-Alcaraz duopoly.
The 38-year-old Serb continues to defy the ageing process but losing to Sinner in the semi-finals - ending his bid for a standalone record 25th major title - was another indication he doesn't have enough in the tank to match the young guns.
Humans versus technology
The ongoing topic of humans being made redundant by technology spilled over into Wimbledon.

The All England Club replaced line judges with an electronic line-calling system, but had to apologise after the technology was turned off in error and missed three calls in one game.

At the start of the tournament, there were 23 Britons competing in the men's and women's singles - the highest tally since 1984.
Cameron Norrie and Sonay Kartal were the standout performers to reach the second week, emerging from the shadows of Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu.
A shock second-round exit showed Draper still has things to learn on the grass, while Raducanu proved she can push the very best in a narrow defeat by top seed Aryna Sabalenka.

In her Wimbledon column, BBC Sport analyst Naomi Broady - a former top-60 player on the WTA Tour - analysed what the leading British singles stars can learn from their performances.
There was a significant success for the home nation.
Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool became the first all-British pair to win the men's doubles in the Open era, showing on the biggest stage how they have developed into one of the world's leading teams.

While Sinner strengthened his grip at the top of the ATP rankings, there was a lot of movement below the new Wimbledon champion.
Russian Andrey Rublev regained his place in the top 10 after a run to the fourth round, while Italy's Flavio Cobolli - who reached his first major quarter-final - has cracked the top 20.

But the biggest climbers among the top 100 were Poland's Kamil Majchrzak and Chile's Nicolas Jarry.
Majchrzak reached a major fourth round having previously served a 13-month doping ban, while Jarry - who has an ear condition which affects his balance and vision - came through qualifying to reach the last 16.
On the flip side, former world number one Daniil Medvedev was the biggest faller in the top 20 after his shock first-round defeat.
Greece's three-time major finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas, France's huge-serving Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Spanish veteran Roberto Bautista Agut also dropped after losing in the first round.

In the WTA rankings, Swiatek has rejoined Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff in the top three, while runner-up Anisimova has broken into the top 10 for the first time.
Switzerland's Belinda Bencic continued sound progress in her comeback after having a baby. The former Olympic champion has returned to the top 20 by making the semi-finals.
Surprise quarter-finalist Laura Siegemund, 37, was the biggest climber in the top 100, with Russian Anastasia Pavlychenkova - who beat Kartal in the last 16 - also jumping sharply.
The biggest fallers are the surprise packages from last year who could not defend their mountain of rankings points.

The 2024 champion Barbora Krejcikova became tearful as she "lost all energy" in her third-round defeat and, after an injury-hit season, has dropped out of the top 70.
Italy's Jasmine Paolini was unable to back her run to last year's final, while Croatia's Donna Vekic - who reached the semi-final last year - lost in the second round.
Raducanu, despite her encouraging performances, loses her British number one status after falling short of her last-16 run 12 months ago.

While those who went deep at Wimbledon will unwind for a few days, those lower in the rankings are already back on the tours.

The short grass-court swing is over, with several clay-court events taking place across Europe this week.
Attention will quickly turn to the North American hard-court swing which begins later this month, with the first big event being the ATP-WTA combined Canadian Open.

Amanda Anisimova reflects on 'surreal' Wimbledon finish, momentum headed into favorite major US Open
Amanda Anisimova had the best Grand Slam finish of her career at The Wimbledon Championships, and though she fell short to Iga Świątek in the final, the American tennis star is taking away some unmatched memories and lessons for her next major of the season. Amanda Anisimova opens up on Wimbledon finish, champagne interruptions "It was such a remarkable experience for me, and making it to the first Grand Slam final and it being at Wimbledon was a surreal feeling," the 23-year-old said in a new interview with "Good Morning America." "Even though it didn't go the way I would have wanted it to go, my opponent obviously was was playing some great tennis, and I've had to compete against so many incredible athletes throughout the entire fortnight," she continued. Despite her runner-up finish, Anisimova has since jumped up the WTA rankings, breaking into the top 10 for the first time at No. 7. "It feels so surreal to be ranked [No.] 7 right now -- it's my career high and what a quick turnaround for me," she told "GMA." Anisimova added that there were larger takeaways, like having her family present and "getting to experience that moment with me," which she called "incredibly special." "Getting to meet Kate Middleton after the final at the ceremony, there were so many special moments and so many other things that I can take away apart from the performance in itself," she added. The New Jersey native took a hiatus from the professional circuit in May 2023 until January 2024 to focus on her mental health and said that "it's been quite the journey coming back." "The most important thing for me since coming back has honestly been doing everything on my own terms and just enjoying the moment," she said. "And that's what I told myself coming out into Wimbledon. I was just incredibly excited to just be playing in the main draw, because I didn't make it last year." Anisimova made history as the youngest American woman singles player to advance to the Wimbledon finals -- after defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka -- since Serena Williams. "Getting to play on on Centre Court and winning against the most incredible athlete in tennis right now was super special to me and just an exhilarating feeling," she said. "It'll last me a lifetime of memories for sure." The iconic All England Lawn Tennis venue brought with it some very posh quirks, including champagne bottles popping mid-match that prompted officials to silence spectators. "That was like the 15th time, so I think that my reaction was valid -- it was just a reminder of where I was," Anisimova recalled. "It felt very English -- but it was a funny experience for sure. And then after the match, I was able to laugh about it afterwards, of course." Amanda Anisimova has high hopes to 'go far' at US Open With the final major of the season just over a month out, Anisimova said she's excited to return to Queens and get on the courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. "The U.S. Open is my favorite tournament by far. It's always super exciting to be playing there, and I'm sure I'll have the whole home crowd cheering for me over there," she said. "Again, all of my family is going to come and support me -- I am sure it's going to be a great tournament. And hopefully I can go far again." Sabalenka is the current defending women's singles U.S. Open champion.

Golf in a hangar? DeChambeau's woes at the British Open get 'The Scientist' thinking
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (AP) — As a popular YouTuber and golfing enigma, Bryson DeChambeau is known for coming up with some wacky, radical ideas. 'The Scientist' might have another one in the pipeline. 'This is going to be wild,' DeChambeau proffered at the British Open on Tuesday, 'but imagine a scenario where you've got a 400-yard tent, and you can just hit any type of shot with any wind with all the fans. 'That's what I imagine, like in a hangar or something like that. A big stadium. That would be cool to test.' Don't put it past DeChambeau to go through with it. After all, he's open to anything if it means improving his patchy record at golf's oldest major championship. The 31-year-old American has played seven times at the Open Championship, where handling the fickle weather can be the key to success. He missed the cut on three occasions and only finished inside the top 30 once. It's a record that frustrates one of the sport's deeper thinkers. He remembers playing well at the Walker Cup at Royal Lytham St. Anne's — one of the courses on the British Open rotation — back in 2015, and was quick to point out he coped fine in windy conditions in LIV Golf events in Miami and Valderrama this year. Place him in the British Open, though, and he can get blown away — like last year at Royal Troon, when he shot 76-75 to miss the cut and said afterward: 'I can do it when it's warm and not windy.' 'The times I've been over here, for some reason, my golf swing hasn't been where it needs to be,' DeChambeau said Tuesday. 'Right now it feels as good as it's ever been. Hitting it far, hitting it straight as I can, and learning how to putt better on these greens in windy conditions and rain and all that. 'It's just figuring it out. It's just going to take time and something that I never really experienced growing up in California.' Lifting the claret jug — as unlikely as it would be, given his Open woes — would deliver the two-time U.S. Open champion a third major title and no doubt boost the already-swelling audience on his YouTube channel that has risen to more than 2 million subscribers. His popularity is clear over in Northern Ireland, too. Late Monday, dozens of people — mostly kids — were seen waiting outside Portrush to get a photo with, or the autograph of, DeChambeau. He obliged, happily. DeChambeau is using YouTube to have some fun and to show the world a different side to him. He even suggested it's just as important as the results he gets. 'I'm not going to be here forever,' he said. 'What footprint do I want to leave? I think it humbles me and almost makes me more passionate about what I'm doing off the professional golf course. 'Am I going to get frustrated playing bad golf?' he posed. 'Yeah. Am I going to want to still sign autographs? Yeah, because I care about the game.' That's not to say he doesn't still have a burning desire to win at Portrush this week — and secure a result that will impress Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley in the process, ahead of the match against Europe in September. 'I feel pressure every week to play good for not only Keegan, but myself, and the people that I love online and everybody that's watching me,' DeChambeau said. 'I'll walk through the fire,' he added, 'rather than run away from it.' ___ AP golf:

Jordan Nobbs, record WSL appearance-holder, completes Newcastle transfer
WSL 2 side Newcastle United have completed the signing of Jordan Nobbs, the record appearance-holder in the Women's Super League (WSL). The midfielder spent 15 seasons in the top level of English women's football, making 208 WSL appearances across spells at Arsenal and Aston Villa. Upon completing her move to Newcastle, Nobbs said: 'I think they are a very ambitious club and, speaking to everyone, the goal is to get promoted and push women's football in the north east. I want to be part of that. 'I've always had a winning mentality, and it's the same mentality here, every game is like a cup final. I want to be part of a successful club that push to the next level.' Nobbs joined Villa in January 2023 after 13 years with Arsenal, where she won 12 trophies including three WSL titles and four FA Cups. The 32-year-old has played 71 times for England, with her most recent call-up in 2023. In 2024-25, Newcastle finished fifth in WSL 2 following their promotion from the third tier. ()
