Jannik Sinner wanted to win Wimbledon but he really needed to beat Carlos Alcaraz
He wanted to win Wimbledon , of course, and it would have meant a lot to him no matter who the opponent was in the final.
That this championship, his fourth at a Grand Slam tournament, came via a win over Carlos Alcaraz made it all the more significant to Sinner — and to the future of their burgeoning rivalry, the best men's tennis has to offer these days and, perhaps, for many years to come.

Newcastle submit bid for Chelsea & Liverpool target Hugo Ekitike
Newcastle United have submitted a bid worth more than €70 million for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike (h/t journalist Fabrizio Romano). The Magpies have been looking for a versatile attacker to add to their squad, and their radar has turned to Ekitike. Advertisement Ekitike can lead the line as a number nine or play off the main striker. The Frenchman is also capable of playing on the left flank. He is a versatile attacking solution for the Magpies. Newcastle initially wanted to sign Joao Pedro, but he chose to move to Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion. Ekitike has bounced back from a horrid spell with Paris Saint-Germain, bagging 22 goals and 12 assists in 48 appearances for Frankfurt this season. Newcastle need additional firepower after Callum Wilson exited the club this summer upon the expiry of his contract, and Ekitike is a stellar candidate to fill the void. Advertisement The Magpies have been linked with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ollie Watkins, but have made a concrete move for the Frankfurt striker. However, Frankfurt are notoriously difficult to negotiate with, making life difficult for clubs that come for their players. Die Adler made PSG work hard to sign Randal Kolo Muani for around €90m and demanded €75m from Manchester City for Omar Marmoush. Frankfurt were reportedly demanding €100m for Ekitike, but will likely have to settle for less. Very few clubs can pay that sum for the striker. Chelsea and Liverpool showed interest in securing his services, but Newcastle could win the race to sign him.

Tempers flare in England-India test series but captains downplay tensions
LONDON — Captains Ben Stokes and Shubman Gill downplayed the tensions between their England and India teams and regarded them as a normal part of big series. Their five-match series became spiky in the third test at Lord's, where England barely won by 22 runs on Monday. India was angry with England's time-wasting tactic at the end of Saturday's play, India bowler Mohammed Siraj had an altercation with England batter Ben Duckett on Sunday, and on the final day Monday an accidental mid-pitch collision between Ravindra Jadeja and Brydon Carse flared more tempers.
