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.'

‘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.

'Combs gets standing ovation from inmates after court victory
NEW YORK, July 7, (AP): Sean "Diddy' Combs got a standing ovation from fellow inmates when the music mogul returned to jail after winning acquittals on potential life-in-prison charges, providing what his lawyer says might have been the best thing he could do for incarcerated Black men in America. "They all said: 'We never get to see anyone who beats the government,'' attorney Marc Agnifilo told The Associated Press in a weekend interview days after a jury acquitted Combs of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. Combs, 55, remains jailed at a federal lockup in Brooklyn after his conviction Wednesday on prostitution-related charges, which could put him in prison for several more years. Any sentence will include credit for time already served. So far that's almost 10 months. After federal agents raided Combs' homes in Los Angeles and the Miami area in March 2024, Agnifilo said he told the "I'll Be Missing You' singer to expect to be arrested on sex trafficking charges. "I said: 'Maybe it's your fate in life to be the guy who wins,'' he recalled during a telephone interview briefly interrupted by a jailhouse call from Combs. "They need to see that someone can win. I think he took that to heart.' The verdict in Manhattan federal court came after a veteran team of eight defense lawyers led by Agnifilo executed a trial strategy that resonated with jurors. Combs passed lawyers notes during effective cross-examinations of nearly three dozen witnesses over two months, including Combs' ex-employees. The lawyers told jurors Combs was a jealous domestic abuser with a drug problem who participated in the open relationship. "You may think to yourself, wow, he is a really bad boyfriend,' Combs' lawyer Teny Geragos told jurors in her May opening statement. But that, she said, "is simply not sex trafficking.' Agnifilo said the blunt talk was a "no brainer." "The violence was so clear and up front and we knew the government was going to try to confuse the jury into thinking it was part of a sex trafficking effort. So we had to tell the jury what it was so they wouldn't think it was something it wasn't,' he said. Combs and his lawyers seemed deflated Tuesday when jurors said they were deadlocked on the racketeering count but had reached a verdict on sex trafficking and lesser prostitution-related charges. A judge ordered them back to deliberate Wednesday. "No one knows what to think,' Agnifilo said. Then he slept on it. "I wake up at three in the morning and I text Teny and say: 'We have to get a bail application together," he recalled. "It's going to be a good verdict for us but I think he went down on the prostitution counts so let's try to get him out.' He said he "kind of whipped everybody into feeling better' after concluding jurors would have convicted him of racketeering if they had convicted him of sex trafficking because trafficking was an alleged component of racketeering. Agnifilo met with Combs before court and Combs entered the courtroom rejuvenated. Smiling, the onetime Catholic schoolboy prayed with family. In less than an hour, the jury matched Agnifilo's prediction. The seemingly chastened Combs mouthed "thank you' to jurors and smiled as family and supporters applauded. After he was escorted from the room, spectators cheered the defense team, a few chanting: "Dream Team! Dream Team!' Several lawyers, including Geragos, cried. "This was a major victory for the defense and a major loss for the prosecution,' said Mitchell Epner, a lawyer who worked with Agnifilo as a federal prosecutor in New Jersey over two decades ago. He credited "a dream team of defense lawyers' against prosecutors who almost always win. Agnifilo showcased what would become his trial strategy - belittling the charges and mocking the investigation that led to them - last September in arguing unsuccessfully for bail. The case against Combs was what happens when the "federal government comes into our bedrooms,' he said. During an eight-week trial, Combs' lawyers picked apart the prosecution case with mostly gentle but firm cross-examinations. Combs never testified, and his lawyers called no witnesses. Sarah Krissoff, a federal prosecutor in Manhattan from 2008 to 2021, said Combs' defense team "had a narrative from the beginning and they did all of it without putting on any witnesses. That's masterful.' Ironically, Agnifilo expanded the use of racketeering laws as a federal prosecutor on an organized crime task force in New Jersey two decades ago, using them often to indict street gangs in violence-torn cities. "I knew the weak points in the statute,' he said. "The statute is very mechanical. If you know how the car works, you know where the fail points are.' He said prosecutors had "dozens of fail points.' "They didn't have a conspiracy, they just didn't,' he said. "They basically had Combs' personal life and tried to build racketeering around personal assistants.' Some personal assistants, even after viewing videos of Combs beating his longtime girlfriend, Casandra "Cassie' Ventura, had glowing things to say about Combs on cross-examination. For Combs, Agnifilo sees a long road ahead once he is freed and resumes work on personal demons, likely reentering a program for domestic batterers that he had just started before his arrest. "He's doing OK,' said Agnifilo, who speaks with him four or five times daily. He said Combs genuinely desires improvement and "realizes he has flaws like everyone else that he never worked on.' "He burns hot in all matters. I think what he has come to see is that he has these flaws and there's no amount of fame and no amount of fortune' that can erase them," he said. "You can't cover them up." For Agnifilo, a final surprise awaited him after Combs' bail was rejected when a man collapsed into violent seizures at the elevators outside the courtroom. "I'm like: 'What the hell?'' recalled the lawyer, who has experience in treating seizures. Agnifilo straddled him, pulling him onto his side and using a foot to prevent him from rolling backward while a law partner, Jacob Kaplan, put a backpack under the man's head and Agnifilo's daughter took his pulse. "We made sure he didn't choke on vomit. It was crazy. I was worried about him,' he said. The man was eventually taken away conscious by rescue workers, leaving Agnifilo to ponder a tumultuous day.

Norris wins thrilling British Grand Prix in the rain to cut Piastri's lead
SILVERSTONE, England, July 6, (AP): Lando Norris survived an incident-packed race in the rain to win Formula 1's British Grand Prix on Sunday and cut the gap to his teammate and title rival Oscar won his home race for the first time after Piastri had to serve a 10-second penalty for sharp braking behind the safety car while in the lead. In a race with plenty of crashes and spins, Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg was third from 19th on the grid for his first podium finish in his 239th race of an F1 career that began in 2010. Defending champion Max Verstappen started on pole but ended up fifth after spinning from second at a safety-car restart, briefly dropping to 10th.
