Naomi Osaka announces she is no longer working with coach Patrick Mouratoglou
WASHINGTON (AP) — Naomi Osaka and coach Patrick Mouratoglou are done working together after less than a year, the four-time Grand Slam champion announced Sunday on social media. 'Merci Patrick,' Osaka began her post, with a photo of her hitting a practice serve while he stands nearby. 'It was such a great experience learning from you. Wishing you nothing but the best. You are one of the coolest people I've ever met and I'm sure I'll see you around.' The news comes three days after Osaka lost her second match at the D.C. Open and just before she begins competing in Toronto. The U.S. Open, the year's last major tournament and an event Osaka won twice, begins in New York on Aug. 24. Osaka hired Mouratoglou — who was the longtime coach of Serena Williams — when she fired Wim Fissette shortly after her second-round exit at last year's U.S. Open. Osaka, a former No. 1, is currently ranked 51st and has a 21-11 record this season. She hasn't been past the third round at a Grand Slam tournament since winning the 2021 Australian Open. ___ AP tennis: The Associated Press

Euro 2025: England great Lucy Bronze had fractured tibia through entire title-winning tournament
BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — The pain for England defender Lucy Bronze playing the whole month with a fractured tibia ended with another Women's European Championship title on Sunday. Bronze revealed the extent of her leg injury after playing through the first period of extra time in England's eventual win on penalties over Spain. The game was tied 1-1 before England retained its title, winning the shootout 3-1. 'I'll do anything to play for England, I've always said that,' said the 33-year-old great, who knew of the injury after a May 30 game against Portugal in the Nations League. 'I knew I was in a lot of pain at the end of the season. All the England players knew,' Bronze said of the secret issue. Bronze was praised for her inspiring "crazy mentality' by England coach Sarina Wiegman. ___ AP soccer: The Associated Press

England: Sarina Wiegman hails Hannah Hampton's Euro 2025 'fairytale'
Sarina Wiegman has hailed Hannah Hampton's journey at Euro 2025 as a 'fairytale'. Hampton enjoyed an incredible tournament after being made England's No1 on the eve of the Euros, with Mary Earps retiring. Hampton excelled throughout the Euros and was named player of the match in the final, saving two penalties as England beat Spain. And asked about Hampton's tournament, Wiegman said: 'Every player has their one story and journey and hers has been incredible. 'Starting the tournament and losing the first game, there was so much riding on every game, we had five finals. 'She had to step up and I think she has been amazing. It's a little bit like a fairytale to stop those two penalties in the final.' England's final victory over Spain was in keeping with their run during the knockout stages as they edged another rollercoaster game. Spain took the lead midway through the first half thanks to Mariona Caldentey, but the Lionesses fought back. Alessia Russo equalised early in the second half, heading home Chloe Kelly's cross, and England battled their way to extra-time. Hampton's heroics got England over the line and Wiegman says she always had faith that the Lionesses would be European champions. 'To be honest, tonight I didn't have that,' said Wiegman, when asked if she had any doubts that England could go all the way. 'I had a couple of times in the Sweden game and the Italy game and I thought: 'We might keep going home tomorrow'. 'But we still had a couple of minutes to go, it's getting tight. But it's not a lack of belief, it's like... we're getting really close now. We had to score. 'And against Sweden, of course, when we had the penalty shootout, when we missed a couple of penalties, we were lucky that they missed theirs.'
