Tennis star takes swipe at Jannik Sinner after Wimbledon victory
Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios took a swipe at world No. 1 Jannik Sinner after he won Wimbledon for the first time in his career over Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday. Sinner won the Grand Slam title in four sets. Kyrgios wasn't one to immediately celebrate the Italian star's triumph. He posted an asterisk on social media. The reaction came as Sinner's positive tests for the anabolic steroid clostebol came to light last year. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) suspended Sinner for three months. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) said Sinner hadn't intentionally used a banned substance. Sinner tested positive for low levels of a metabolite of clostebol, a banned anabolic steroid that can be used for ophthalmological and dermatological use, in March 2024. Eight days after the Indian Wells tournament, Sinner tested positive again in an out-of-competition sample. According to the ITIA's initial findings, Sinner explained that he had tested positive after receiving a massage from a trainer who had used an over-the-counter spray that contained clostebol to treat a small wound after cutting his own finger. Even with the Wimbledon win and a French Open final appearance against Alcaraz, the steroid cloud has yet to disappear over Sinner. Kyrgios has been one of the biggest critics. "So wada come out and say it would be a 1-2 year ban," Kyrgios said in a post on X earlier this year. "Obviously sinners (sic) 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." Sinner now has four major titles – two at the Australian Open, one at the U.S. Open and the other at Wimbledon. The French Open is the only one that has eluded him. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

German tourist describes 12-day ordeal, lost in Australian wilderness
A German backpacker who survived 12 days lost in Australia's remote outback has said she is 'beyond grateful to have survived.' In her first public statement since being found alive on Friday, 26-year-old Carolina Wilga said she 'hit her head significantly' when she crashed her car and became lost after abandoning it in 'a state of confusion.' Wilga was found alive on Friday afternoon, nearly two weeks after she disappeared in the bushland. According to the Associated Press, the crew of a police helicopter spotted her vehicle Thursday in wilderness in the Karroun Hill Nature Reserve, 36 kilometers (22 miles) north of the town of Beacon. 'Some people might wonder why I even left my car, even though I had water, food, and clothing there,' she wrote in a statement released by Western Australia Police Force on Monday. 'The answer is: I lost control of the car and rolled down a slope. In the crash, I hit my head significantly. As a result of the accident, I left my car in a state of confusion and got lost.' Wilga's message, shared by Western Australia Police Force on Facebook, expressed thanks to those who searched for her, as well as to medical staff and the German consulate. 'I want to express a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart — a thank you that truly comes from the depth of my soul,' she said. 'The thought of all the people who believed in me, searched for me, and kept hoping for me gave me the strength to carry on during my darkest moments. For this, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.' According to AP, Western Australia Police Force Inspector Martin Glynn said a member of the public found her wandering on a forest trail late Friday. She was in a 'fragile' state but had no serious injuries and was flown to a hospital in Perth for treatment, Glynn told reporters. 'You know, she's obviously coped in some amazing conditions,' he said. 'There's a very hostile environment out there, both from flora and fauna. It's a really, really challenging environment to cope in.' The reserve where Wilga was lost covers more than 300,000 hectares (740,000 acres), according to AP.
