Djokovic's daughter steals the show at Wimbledon with her victory dance
Djokovic had just clinched his 100th Wimbledon singles win and was asked during his on-court interview to shed light on the little dance he's been doing recently.
He said it's done to a song called "Pump It Up."
"There's a song with my kids - look my daughter's doing it right now,' a smiling Djokovic said as he looked into the crowd. "You want to show it darling?'
The TV camera then panned to Tara, who then showed everyone how it's done: pump your fists down, then left, right, and overhead. The crowd roared.
"She's the master. It's a little tradition we have right now. Hopefully we can keep going so we can keep pumping more in Wimbledon.'

Pearl Jam's Matt Cameron to leave band after 27 years
LOS ANGELES, July 8, (AP): Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron said Monday that he's leaving the band after nearly 30 years. The 62-year-old Cameron announced his departure in a social media post. "After 27 fantastic years, I have taken my final steps down the drum riser for the mighty Pearl Jam,' Cameron said. "Much love and respect to Jeff, Ed, Mike, and Stone for inviting me into the band in 1998 and for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, filled with friendships, artistry, challenges, and laughter.' Cameron didn't give a reason for his departure. "Matt Cameron has been a singular and true powerhouse of a musician and drummer. He has propelled the last 27 years of Pearl Jam live shows and studio recordings. It was a deeply important chapter for our group and we wish him well always,' Pearl Jam members said in a statement posted to the band's social media accounts. They made no mention of a replacement. Cameron, who played drums for Soundgarden for more than a decade before joining Pearl Jam, was not a founding member of the band and didn't play drums for the early albums that made them rock superstars. But he provided some much-needed stability at the drum kit after the band had gone through four others since its inception. He first joined in 1998 as a temporary replacement for Jack Irons, playing on a long tour before making his studio debut with the group on 2000's "Binaural.' He just finished a yearlong tour with the band in support of its 12th studio album, "Dark Matter.' Cameron was born and raised in San Diego before moving to Seattle shortly before its music scene became a global phenomenon. He played in proto-grunge band Skin Yard before joining Soundgarden. He did double duty with Pearl Jam and a reunited Soundgarden from 2010 to 2017.

Djokovic battles to defeat De Minaur
Alcaraz finds his best form to beat Rublev, reaches Wimbledon quarter-finals LONDON: Novak Djokovic overcame a sluggish start against Alex de Minaur to reach his 16th Wimbledon quarter-final under the gaze of eight-time winner Roger Federer on Monday. The Serb was lethargic and unusually tentative in the early stages of his last 16 match against the Australian 11th seed on Centre Court but eventually found his rhythm to win 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. It keeps the seven-time champion on track for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam, which would be the crowning achievement of an astonishing career. If he wins the crown on Sunday, the 38-year-old would also draw level with Federer's record of eight men's titles at the All England Club. The retired Swiss great watched from the royal box as his long-time rival was given his toughest test of the tournament so far. Sixth seed Djokovic was broken in the first game and conceded two more breaks as De Minaur ran away with the first set. The Serb committed 16 unforced errors, including four double faults in the opener. Djokovic broke immediately at the start of the second set but then became bogged down in a game lasting nearly 19 minutes, which De Minaur won on his sixth break point. Both players struggled to hold onto their serve in an attritional battle but Djokovic, pleading for support from the crowd, held his nerve to level the match, letting out a roar as De Minaur went long. The third set went with serve until the ninth game, when De Minaur skewed a forehand wide to concede the crucial break. De Minaur found new inspiration in the fourth set, surging into a 4-1 lead but crumbled at the pivotal moment as Djokovic fought back, reeling off five games in a row to seal the win. Djokovic will play Italian 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli in the last eight, with a potential semi-final looming against world number one Jannik Sinner. WIMBLEDON: Spain's Carlos Alcaraz celebrates winning a game against Russia's Andrey Rublev on the seventh day of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. — AFP photos Alcaraz finds form While Djokovic and Sinner, are in ominous form, second seed Carlos Alcaraz has blown hot and cold so far. But he found his best form after a shaky start to beat Andrey Rublev and reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals on Sunday. The Spaniard, hunting a third straight title at the All England Club, has taken his fans on an emotional rollercoaster but is into the last eight after a 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win. He will next face Cameron Norrie, who is the last British player standing at Wimbledon after beating Chile's Nicolas Jarry in five gruelling sets. Alcaraz lost three sets across his first three matches and fell behind against Russian 14th seed Rublev under the Centre Court roof. But he turned the match around in style, producing some of his best tennis in front of his adoring fans. 'I think I played intelligent and smart today against him, tactically,' said the 22-year-old. 'A really good match, which I'm really proud about.' The five-time Grand Slam champion said he always believes in himself, even when facing adversity. 'One point can change the match completely, turn everything around. 'In tennis, you have to stay there all the time. Being strong mentally, to stay there. I knew that I was going to play better.' — AFP

‘Jurassic World Rebirth' bites off $318 million at the global box office
LOS ANGELES, July 7, (AP): Dinosaur fatigue may be a theme in "Jurassic World Rebirth,' but moviegoing audiences don't seem to have that reservation. The newest installment in the "Jurassic World' franchise ruled the Fourth of July holiday box office with a global, five-day launch of $318.3 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Universal Pictures release, directed by Gareth Edwards, opened on Wednesday and earned $147.3 million in its first five days in 4,308 North American theaters. An estimated $91.5 million of that comes from the traditional "three day' weekend, which includes the Friday holiday, Saturday and projected Sunday ticket sales. Internationally, it opened in 82 markets including China, adding $171 million to the opening total. According to the studio, $41.5 million of that came from China alone, where it played on 65,000 screens, 760 of which were IMAX. It's the country's biggest MPA (Motion Picture Association) opening of the year. "It's just a tremendous result," said Jim Orr, who oversees domestic distribution for Universal. "'Jurassic World Rebirth is exactly what audiences crave during the summer: a very big, fun, extraordinarily well-done adventure.' "Jurassic World' was missing from IMAX screens domestically (due to a commitment to continue showing "F1'), but it thrived on the premium large format screens it played on like Dolby Cinema, where it made nearly $8 million over the five-day from only 167 screens. "Rebirth,' starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey, is the fourth movie in the "Jurassic World' series and the seventh since Steven Spielberg's original Michael Crichton adaptation stormed theaters in the summer of 1993. The new film received mixed reviews from critics, carrying a 51% on Rotten Tomatoes, and B CinemaScore from opening weekend audiences. The studio was struck by the broad audience turnout, from ages eight to 80, and the fact that the film exceeded estimates at every step despite the reviews. "The word of mouth on it is stellar," Orr said. "And it should point to a very long run throughout the summer as well.' Factors like the holiday weekend, inflation and post-COVID moviegoing realities make it difficult to fairly compare the "Rebirth' launch to the other films in the "Jurassic World' franchise, the first of which opened to $208 million domestically in 2015. The other two, "Fallen Kingdom' and "Dominion' opened to $148 million and $145 million respectively. "Jurassic World Rebirth' introduced a new main cast to the series and brought back a familiar voice in "Jurassic Park' screenwriter David Koepp to guide the story about a dangerous hunt for dinosaur DNA (not for making dinosaurs this time, but for curing heart disease). It cost a reported $180 million net to produce, not including marketing and promotion costs. The campaign was far reaching, including a global press tour, with stops everywhere from London to Seoul, integrated marketing across NBC Universal platforms and brand tie-ins with everything from Jeep and 7-11 to Johansson's skincare line. No major new films dared go up against the dinosaurs, who left last week's champion, the Brad Pitt racing movie "F1,' in the dust. "F1' fell a modest 54% in its second weekend with $26.1 million, helping bring its domestic total to $109.5 million. It continues to play on IMAX screens with accounted for $7.6 million of the North American weekend ticket sales. Globally, it's nearing $300 million with a running total of $293.6 million. Third place went to Universal's live-action "How to Train Your Dragon,' which earned $11 million in its fourth weekend, bringing its domestic total to $224 million. Disney and Pixar's "Elio' landed in fourth place with $5.7 million. Globally, "Elio' has just crossed $96 million in three weekends. "28 Years Later' rounded out the top five with $4.6 million. A 41-year-old movie also made the domestic top 10: The re-release of Rob Reiner's 1984 film "This is Spinal Tap.' Having the Fourth of July land on a Friday could have negatively impacted the overall box office, but the holiday didn't blow up the weekend's earnings. "We had a solid Friday despite some pretty heavy competition from the fireworks,' said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. And there's still some major movies to come in the packed summer movie calendar, including "Superman,' which opens later this week. "This is one of the most competitive summer movie seasons ever,' Dergarabedian said. "For moviegoers, it's so much fun.' With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore: 1. "Jurassic World Rebirth,' $91.5 million. 2. "F1 The Movie,' $26.1 million. 3. "How to Train Your Dragon,' $11 million. 4. "Elio,' $5.7 million. 5. "28 Years Later,' $4.6 million. 6. "Lilo & Stitch,' $3.8 million. 7. "M3GAN 2.0,' $3.8 million. 8. "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning,' $2.7 million. 9. "Materialists,' $1.3 million. 10. "This is Spinal Tap' (41st Anniversary re-release), $931,737.
