Aryna Sabalenka, Taylor Fritz take different paths to Wimbledon semifinals

Washington Post6 hours ago
WIMBLEDON, England — There may be no better preparation for winning a grass-court tournament than playing a wily, determined, 37-year-old doubles aficionado with a special place in her heart for the slice.
Except, perhaps, than facing a British darling on Center Court at Wimbledon in front of a crowd so loud it rivaled some of Andy Murray's matches.

Bayern Munich ‘willing to pay more' to beat Barcelona to key transfer target

La Liga giants Barcelona are at serious risk of missing out on a leading summer transfer market to another of the continent's top clubs. That's according to Diario Sport, who point towards Luis Díaz as the player in question. Advertisement Wide-man Díaz has of course seen his name take its place front and centre in the headlines across Europe over recent days. As much comes amid alleged interest in his services on the part of both Barcelona, and Bayern Munich. In the case of the former, the Blaugrana have pivoted back towards the Colombian, after coming up short in efforts to land Nico Williams from Athletic Club. German champions Bayern, meanwhile, already on the lookout for attacking reinforcements following Leroy Sané's departure, over the weekend lost Jamal Musiala to a long-term injury. The Bavarians are therefore also ready to ramp up their pursuit of Luis Díaz. Advertisement And if the latest word stemming from the Spanish media is anything to go by, then the board at the Allianz Arena are viewed as being in a superior position than their Camp Nou counterparts when it comes to the chances of striking a deal with Liverpool. As per a report from Sport: 'Bayern have entered the bidding strongly and would be willing to offer a higher sum than Barça.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton's honest assessment of first game back from injury

The post Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton's honest assessment of first game back from injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. Despite losing their fourth game in a row, this time 1-0 to the visiting Los Angeles Angels, the New York Yankees' focus is already on Tuesday's tilt. Veteran designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton made his season debut after rehabbing injuries in both elbows. Stanton went 2 for 4 with a strikeout in the loss. He discussed the performance candidly with the media postgame, including with SNY's Yankees Videos account on X, formerly Twitter. ''It's good to be out there. Thought I saw the ball pretty well, besides one at-bat. So just working on that, making sure my timing's geared up. Get rolling' – Giancarlo Stanton on his 2025 season debut,' posted the account. Advertisement It was a solid debut for Stanton, and a performance the Yankees will definitely need more of moving forward. At the moment, the team's four-game slide is the worst of the season. The Angels are in town for three more games before back-to-back series against the Baltimore Orioles at home and Cincinnati Reds on the road. New York has played seven games in seven days, and they have nine more games over the next nine days. Can the Bronx Bombers correct course during this pivotal yet long stretch? Can Giancarlo Stanton help Yankees out of current skid? Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images Stanton is likely replacing Ben Rice in the lineup the majority of the time. The second year first baseman did an admirable job filling in for Stanton, as he solidified his spot on the roster for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, getting Stanton back deepens the Bombers' lineup for hopefully the foreseeable future. During this stretch, having that depth will be key. Advertisement With veteran Paul Goldschmidt also having a resurgent season in pinstripes, at bats might be a bit scarce at times. Team captain Aaron Judge and the other outfielders usually slot in at DH on their days off if there's a matchup that manager Aaron Boone prefers. Monday's performance is hopefully just the start of another powerful season in the Bronx for Stanton. If that is the case, then don't be surprised to see the Yankees in the thick of yet another postseason race later this season.
