‘It was very weird': Coco Gauff drops brutally honest statement on Aryna Sabalenka feud
Wimbledon 2025 is set to begin on June 30, and all eyes will be on Coco Gauff, who recently defeated Aryna Sabalenka to clinch the 2025 French Open women's singles title in Paris. It was the 21-year-old's second Grand Slam title, having won 2023 US Open earlier. Coco Gauff had a brutally honest answer to Aryna Sabalenka's remarks.(AFP) After her French Open final win, she fell victim to some remarks from Sabalenka in the post-match press conference. Gauff was also asked about it, and she simply stated that she didn't agree with it. Since then, the pair have met and the World No. 1 also apologised to her recently in a public video. The pair also teamed up in a viral TikTok dance video, which has been promoted by Wimbledon. Speaking on the incident, Gauff said in a pre-tournament Wimbledon press conference, 'It was very weird. I'm transparent. At first it was a little tempting just because the apology did come a little bit later. I thought it was going to come pretty quick. There's obviously temptation. I wouldn't be lying, but I don't know, I just want us to be kumbaya, live happily, hakuna matata, and be happy here.' 'I didn't want to fuel more hate. I'm not the person that will fuel hate in the world. I think people were taking it too far It wasn't even more holding someone accountable. It was just really like targeting and saying a lot of things that I felt like were not nice. I didn't want to fuel that more,' he added. Gauff is the current World No. 1, and won ten career singles titles, including two majors. She also reigned supreme at the 2024 WTA Finals. She has also won nine doubles title, including the 2024 French Open women's doubles. She will be opening her campaign against Dayana Yastremska in the fisrt round.

So that is something he will start doing,' he said. 03:11 India's Day 2 at the Nets in Edgbaston | IND vs ENG Test Series However, it was Gill's field placements and leadership that drew greater scrutiny. 'Overcast conditions, I know the ball wasn't doing too much, but they pre-empted the English approach and had a far too defensive field,' Manjrekar noted. 'I hate to bring Virat Kohli as a comparison because it's unfair on the young man, but you can just imagine Virat Kohli in that situation.' Poll Do you think Shubman Gill should adopt a more aggressive captaincy style? Yes, he needs to be more aggressive No, his current style is fine Maybe, depends on the situation Undecided 'Whether they would have got wickets or not, Kohli would have shown the opposition that he's trying to get them out. Gill is not that kind of personality, nor that kind of captain. But maybe don't go so defensive pre-empting things,' he added. Manjrekar also praised Rishabh Pant 's hunger and resilience, saying he is likely to carry his twin tons into the second Test. At the same time, he warned KL Rahul to maintain consistency. 'KL Rahul cannot be a one-hundred wonder or a one-Test-match performer. Indian cricket needs him badly,' he said.

Internet slams Jake Paul after Chavez Jr win: Fans call fight ‘staged', say he's turning boxing into a circus
Jake Paul may have added another win to his record, but the internet isn't celebrating. After defeating former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr by unanimous decision on Saturday, the YouTuber-turned-boxer is once again facing criticism, with fans calling the bout 'staged' and accusing him of turning professional boxing into a mockery. Despite the win, many are claiming that Paul's rise is doing more harm than good for the sport's credibility. The fight lacked fire, but Jake Paul kept control The fight, which took place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, was billed as Paul's toughest test yet. Chavez Jr, a former WBC middleweight champion and son of a boxing legend, had nothing to lose stepping into the ring. Paul started strong, landing jabs and clean shots to the body while Chavez Jr barely responded through the early rounds. It wasn't until round three that the Mexican fighter threw any real punches, but even then, Paul remained in control. By the final bell, Paul had cruised to victory on the judges' scorecards with a wide margin: 97-93, 98-92, and 99-91. Booed in the arena, Paul fires back at critics Despite the win, Paul was met with boos throughout the fight as chorus that only got louder when the decision was announced. He didn't hold back in his post-fight reaction. 'All the boos are words, and actions speak louder than words, so you can shut the f*** up,' he shouted, before adding, 'That was easy work. I only got hit ten times. I'm him.' Jake Paul gets booed after 'defeating' another aging fighter Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision. Typical Jewish SCAMMER making easy money with fixed results. The 28-year-old praised Chavez Jr, 38, as a warrior but insisted that he had dominated the fight and would continue taking on anyone, anywhere. Fans call the fight 'a circus' and question its legitimacy Fans, however, weren't convinced. Social media has been flooded with criticism, with many suggesting the fight looked scripted and one-sided from the start. Several users pointed out that Paul continues to fight aging or inactive opponents, calling on him to finally face someone in his own weight class and age bracket. People saying 'Jake Paul has been great for boxing he's brought a new audience' If your child or teenager first experience with boxing is Jake Paul fighting old people then that's insane damage to your brand Chavez Jr had to have been paid off for this fight against Jake Paul because goddamn he not throwing any punches at all and we already into round 4 😭😭 Me watching Jake Paul win another fight against an old man, drug addict, or below average fighter Dudes really watching a Jake Paul fight another washed boxer BREAKING: I had a better fight with Jake Paul on Thursday than the unwatchable farce that took place tonight. The guy's lining his pockets with buckets of $$$$ - but he's killing boxing with this boring staged bullsh*t against older fighters way past their prime. The backlash follows his previous high-profile fight against 58-year-old Mike Tyson, which streamed live on Netflix and was widely seen as more spectacle than sport. With this latest win, critics say Paul is less focused on boxing credibility and more on building his personal brand — even if it means turning the sport into what some are calling a "celebrity circus."
