Euro 2025: Sweden eases past Poland and advances to quarterfinals along with Germany
A hat trick of headed goals by three different players was fair reward for relentless attacking down Sweden's right flank that left the overmatched Poland defense exposed.

Tennis world divided amid Jannik Sinner moment never seen before at Wimbledon
Jannik Sinner has become the first Italian to win the Wimbledon title, making tennis history in a stunning moment never seen before. But his triumph over Carlos Alcaraz hasn't come without controversy, with the tennis world heavily divided as to whether he should have been allowed to play the tournament in the first place. Sinner exorcised some demons from the recent French Open final when he prevailed 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 on Sunday for his fourth career grand slam title. It came just five weeks after he gave up a two-set lead and failed to convert championship points against great rival Alcaraz in the final at Roland Garros. "This was only a dream, it was far away where I'm from," Sinner told the crowd on Centre Court after collecting the trophy from Kate, Princess of Wales. "I'm just living my dream, it's amazing." Sinner's triumph gave him his first Wimbledon title, making him the first Italian in tennis history to win the tournament on the hallowed turf of the All England Club. "An amazing tournament, but mostly thank you for the player you are," Sinner told Alcaraz in a classy speech. "It's so difficult to play against you, but we have an amazing relationship off the court and on the court... Keep going, keep pushing and you are going to hold this (trophy) many times. You already have two!" Tennis fans and commentators have been quick to praise the World No.1, but for many it has left a sour taste in the mouth. Aussie star Nick Kyrgios posted an asterisk on social media, suggesting Sinner's triumph should carry the mark against his name. * — Nicholas Kyrgios (@NickKyrgios) July 13, 2025 There's a large section of the tennis community who think Sinner was very lucky to be allowed to play Wimbledon after two positive doping tests. The Italian cut a deal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and walked away with a three-month ban after successfully arguing he unknowingly took banned drug Clostebol. Sinner argued he was inadvertently contaminated when his former physiotherapist applied the drug to his own finger to treat a cut, and then gave Sinner a massage while not wearing gloves. The Court of Arbitration for Sport accepted the argument and gave Sinner a three-month ban - much less than what the World No.1 was facing if found culpable. The three-month ban was slammed as extremely lenient by some prominent tennis figures, especially as it allowed him to come back right in time to play the French Open and Wimbledon. Sinner didn't miss a single grand slam tournament while banned, and the general consensus is he got off very lightly (even if not at fault). Kyrgios had previously said: "Obviously Sinner's team have done everything in their power to just go ahead and take a 3 month ban. No titles lost, no prize money lost. Guilty or not? Sad day for tennis. Fairness in tennis does not exist. Bad day for tennis.' Grand slam champion Stan Wawrinka wrote: 'I don't believe in a clean sport any more'. While former World No.1 Yevgeny Kafelnikov commented: 'If you are absolutely 100 per cent sure of your innocence (as he was before with his lawyers), why you accepting 3 month ban?? Makes no sense to me'. One prominent tennis pundit wrote on Sunday: "I usually congratulate all winners of major trophies, but I just can't do that for Jannik Sinner today. He should have been suspended for all of this year and he shouldn't have even been allowed to play Wimbledon let alone win it." However many others argued that Sinner has done his time and paid the price, and the tennis world should now move on. In a poll of over 6000 Yahoo readers, 60 per cent have said they think the three-month ban was too lenient. Regardless of whether he should have been playing or not, it's undeniable that Sinner deserved to win Sunday's final. It was Sinner's first victory over Alcaraz in his last six attempts as he handed the 22-year-old Spaniard his first defeat in a grand slam final.

'It's always a bad feeling losing matches,' the World No.2 said. 'It's a little bit even worse when you lose in a final. I just want to keep the good moments and try to forget the bad moments. I just want to think, 'OK, I just played a final in a grand slam, and try to forget that I lost it.'" Living in my dream ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!!! 💜💚 @Wimbledon — Jannik Sinner (@janniksin) July 13, 2025 with agencies
