Cautious Gauff targets 'Channel Slam' at Wimbledon
Second seed Coco Gauff is chasing a rare "Channel Slam" at Wimbledon after lifting her maiden French Open title, the American said on Saturday, though she is keeping expectations in check as she adapts to the quick transition from clay to grass.
The last woman to achieve the Channel Slam — winning Wimbledon and the French Open in the same year — was Serena Williams, who accomplished the feat in 2002 and again in 2015.
The 21-year-old Gauff, who became the first American woman since Williams to win at Roland Garros, is not putting too much pressure on herself though, having never made it past the fourth round at Wimbledon.

Barbora Krejcikova ready for Wimbledon title defense after difficult year
Barbora Krejcikova insists she is fit for her Wimbledon title defense after the Czech suffered a thigh injury scare just days before the tournament. Krejcikova's Wimbledon participation was plunged into doubt when she pulled out of the warm-up event at Eastbourne on Thursday. The 29-year-old withdrew before playing Varvara Gracheva in the quarterfinals after initially sustaining the injury on Wednesday during her second-round victory over Jodie Burrage. But after resting for several days, Krejcikova is confident the injury will not be an impediment to her bid to retain the Venus Rosewater Dish. "I had to have a couple of days off where I didn't really play any tennis, but I did some off-court stuff," she told reporters at the All England Club on Sunday. "I've been feeling every day a little bit better, so I'm really happy with that. "I hope by Tuesday everything is going to be fine. I hope I'm going to have a nice match and a great tournament." Krejcikova will start her All England Club campaign against Alexandra Eala of the Philippines in the first round on Tuesday. Eala made history by becoming the first Filipina to reach a WTA final with her run to the Eastbourne title match on Saturday. The 20-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough run to the Miami Masters semifinals in March, and Krejcikova is relishing the chance to test herself against an emerging star. "To be honest, I don't really know that much about her yet because she's obviously a young player, an upcoming player, and one of the players of the new generation," she said. "I know that she was doing quite well at the first half of the year. It's going to be a great matchup. I'm looking forward to see where the young generation is." Krejcikova, a two-time Grand Slam winner, hopes being back at Wimbledon can provide a welcome lift after a difficult year. The world No. 16 has endured a rough ride since defeating Italy's Jasmine Paolini in the Wimbledon final 12 months ago. Krejcikova lost in the second round of the this year's French Open and also missed January's Australian Open with a back injury, which kept her sidelined until May and has restricted her to just six matches this year. She made a poor start to the grass-court season with a shock loss against Slovakia's Rebecca Sramkova in the Queen's Club first round before her premature Eastbourne exit. "It's actually very nice to be here and to play, even after all the time I was out," she said. "I'm enjoying it. I'm happy to be here. I find it tough, complicated, but I don't find it difficult." Asked how she will feel playing on center court for the first time since the final, Krejcikova said: "It feels great. Definitely I grew up since then. "I feel very happy and really, let's say, privileged that I can go from this position into the tournament. "It's going to be a mix of all the emotions, but I think most of them are going to be very positive." Krejcikova's maiden Grand Slam triumph came at the 2021 French Open, but winning on the iconic lawns of southwest London was an even more memorable experience. "Everything was amazing," she said. "It was like a fairytale, winning the match point and looking at the box. Very special. "I couldn't really believe that they were giving the trophy to me."

NBA guard Malik Beasley subject of U.S. federal gambling probe
Guard Malik Beasley is under federal investigation in connection with allegations that he was tied to gambling activity on NBA games and prop bets, ESPN reported Sunday. The allegations date to the 2023-24 season when Beasley was with the Milwaukee Bucks, one of six teams he has played for since the Denver Nuggets selected him No. 19 overall in the 2016 NBA Draft. He spent the 2024-25 season with the Detroit Pistons on a one-year, $6 million contract and is due to become a free agent when the new league year begins Monday evening. The NBA is aware of the allegations. "We are cooperating with the federal prosecutors' investigation," NBA spokesman Mike Bass told ESPN. Beginning around January 2024, one U.S. sportsbook saw an sharp upturn in betting on Beasley's statistics, such as rebounds per game, per the report. "An investigation is not a charge," Beasley's attorney, Steve Haney, told ESPN. "Malik is afforded the same right of the presumption of innocence as anyone else under the U.S. Constitution. As of now he has not been charged with anything." ESPN reported that because of the allegations, discussions about a new three-year, $42 million contract have halted. Beasley, 28, appeared in all 82 games last season with the Pistons and averaged 16.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 41.6% from three-point range. He has career averages of 11.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists. The NBA suspended Beasley for 12 games in 2021 after he entered a guilty plea to a felony charge of threats of violence. He was sentenced to 120 days in jail to be served after the 2020-21 season and was released after 78 days.

Hall of Fame trainer and horse racing legend D. Wayne Lukas dies at 89
Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who saddled four Kentucky Derby winners among his 15 winners in U.S. Triple Crown races, has died at the age of 89, his family said Sunday. In a statement released through Churchill Downs, the family said Lukas died at home on Saturday night, a week after an infection sent him to hospital, and he decided not to pursue aggressive treatment. "We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers and support from all corners of the racing community — from racetracks across the country to lifelong friends and respected rivals, and from fans who never missed a post parade when 'Lukas' was listed in the program," the family said. Lukas was one of the most accomplished trainers in U.S. racing history. His 15 Triple Crown victories are second only to Bob Baffert's 17, and he is tied with Ireland's Aidan O'Brien for most Breeders' Cup wins for a trainer with 20. He saddled his most recent Triple Crown race winner last year with Seize the Grey in the Preakness Stakes — his seventh Preakness triumph. "Today we lost one of the great champions of Churchill Downs and one of the most significant figures in Thoroughbred racing over the last 50 years," Bill Carstanjen, chief executive of Churchill Downs Incorporated, said in a statement. "We will miss his humor, his wisdom and his unmatched capacity to thrill the fans with the performances of his horses on our sport's biggest days." The Breeders' Cup issued a statement hailing Lukas' innovative training approach and a legacy that "continues through the many horsemen who came up under his astute guidance before finding tremendous success on their own. "The dedication, discipline, passion, and insight with which he ran his operation will serve as an inspiration for many generations," the Breeders' Cup said in its statement. National Thoroughbred Racing Association President Tom Rooney said it was "hard to imagine" racing without Lukas. "His horsemanship reshaped the sport," Rooney said. "If there's a Mount Rushmore of trainers, D. Wayne Lukas is on it." Churchill Downs confirmed last week that the horses in Lukas' care had been transferred to veteran assistant Sebastian "Bas" Nicholl. In a career spanning six decades, Lukas amassed 4,967 documented thoroughbred wins. He trained 26 Eclipse Award winners, including three that were named Horse of the Year.
