Sinner on Alcaraz rematch
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are set to renew their incredible rivalry, just five weeks after the Spaniard came back from two sets and triple match points down to beat the Italian in the Roland Garros final.
Quizzed if the match was still in his head, Sinner said: "I think if it would be a lot in my head, I would not be in the situation to play a final again, I guess.
"I'm very happy to share once again the court with Carlos. It's going to be difficult, I know that.
"But I'm looking forward to it, no? I try always to put myself in these kind of situations what I really love. Sundays on every tournament are very special.
"But this is a question I cannot answer because I think it's something what you feel before the match and also during the match. I can give you answers after.
"But no, it's different. Different match. I'm looking forward to it."

According to the Times, the Gunners have now agreed an initial £54.5m deal to sign Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres. The Swede scored 54 goals in 52 outings last season and is sure to calm the nerves of fans concerned about Arsenal's lack of composure in front of goal.

Newcastle's Anthony Gordon and Real Madrid's Rodrygo are both high on his list. While Arsenal retain interest in versatile Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze. However, the Gunners will also look to sell some current players after stars like Jorginho, Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey and Takehiro Tomiyasu departed on free transfers. Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Reiss Nelson, Leandro Trossard, Fabio Vieira, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Karl Hein are all available for exits. And should they all be sold, it would free up a pretty penny for Arsenal's stretched transfer kitty.

Royal caught napping at Wimbledon days after major celeb 'dozes off' on centre court

The Royal was pictured falling asleep just days after another famous face was snapped having a nap in the stands Primarily reserved for members of the British Royal Family, foreign royals, heads of state, celebrities, and former champions, all eyes are often on the Royal Box at Wimbledon and all movements are caught on camera. However, one particular Royal was spotted nodding off during the Men's singles final on Sunday, July 13. Lord Frederick Windsor attended the Men's Singles final at Wimbledon on Sunday, July 13 with wife, Sophie Winkleman. ‌ The couple were seated in some of the best spots on centre court. Lord Frederick is the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, and is 54th in line to the British throne. His father, Prince Michael of Kent, is a first cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II. ‌ The couple were seen enjoying the sporting action but seemingly forgot that all actions were being captured on camera, reports the Express. Pictures from the event showed the Royal with his eyes closed, propping up his head with one arm, appearing to doze off multiple times. After a brief nap, he woke up and joined in the applause and cheering as the tennis tournament continued. Frederick, aged 46, looked dapper in a blue suit, a white shirt and a powder blue tie. Sophie, on the other hand, who is an actress, wore an elegant white dress adorned with tiny strawberries. Sophie turned heads with baroque-style pearl earrings and a pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses to keep the sun at bay. Tennis enthusiast, Lord Frederick Windsor, was also spotted indulging his love for the sport, having graced the Championships on day two, day nine, and day 12. ‌ But it wasn't just royalty that snoozed amidst the thrill of this year's acclaimed tennis contest. Social media buzzed when BBC viewers caught Hugh Grant apparently dozing off during a match at Centre Court. The 64-year-old was there to soak in the Men's Singles Quarter-Final between Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli. ‌ Accompanied by his wife Anna Elisabet Eberstein, the film star settled into Centre Court seats. A segment broadcast showed Hugh in the Royal Box, donning shaded sunglasses with his head dipped slightly forward. BBC Sport posted the moment that went viral on X, quipping: "It's all got a bit too much for Hugh Grant," followed by emojis signalling laughter and sleep. ‌ Spectators chimed in, noticing Hugh's drowsy moment, and shared their animated thoughts online. A viewer couldn't help but comment on X: "Not even Djokovic can keep Hugh Grant awake today." A second joked: "Well done Hugh. Exactly what I would have done in the sun." ‌ A third concluded: "Merely resting his eyes". In the end, Jannik Sinner fought back to beat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in four sets and win Wimbledon for the first time in his career. The Italian No. 1 seed is now a four-time Grand Slam champion. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Ronaldo's ex-team-mate pulls no punches with what he's really like - 'Crazy'

Cristiano Ronaldo is considered by many to be the best footballer of all time, and one former team-mate has accredited his success to one particular habit he couldn't ignore Former Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi has laid bare the tireless work ethic that's made Cristiano Ronaldo arguably the best of all time. Matuidi, 38, spent two seasons playing alongside Ronaldo in Turin, where he got a first-hand look at the processes that have shaped the five-time Ballon d'Or -winner. Ronaldo has won just about every major trophy available to him over the course of his 23 years in professional football to date. And the 40-year-old, currently plying his trade for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, continues to operate at elite levels even far beyond the average retirement age. ‌ It was Ronaldo wearing the captain's armband as Portugal beat Spain to lift the UEFA Nations League title for the second time in June. Many thought the veteran was heading to Saudi Arabia for an easy retirement in 2023, but he has also clinched the division's Golden Boot in the last two campaigns. ‌ These things don't happen by chance, however, and Matuidi has seen the work behind the scenes that maketh the man. Even if that means getting a quick workout in in the wee hours when most of his peers are sleeping. "Cristiano was an incredible professional, obsessed with work," said the World Cup -winner in an interview with Italian daily Tuttosport. "One night we returned to Continassa at 2am after a league match to retrieve our cars. "We were exhausted, but he still persuaded [former Juventus defender Mehdi] Benatia to accompany him to the gym for some recovery work. I thought he was crazy [laughs]. Ronaldo was like that, he never stopped. That's the secret of his success and why he still manages to make a difference today." ‌ It perhaps shouldn't come as a surprise that one as successful as Ronaldo is of the opinion sleep is for the weak. After all, one doesn't get a physique like his at 40 years of age without putting in the work at times when others would rather rest. Ronaldo and Matuidi won two Serie A titles during their time together with the Bianconeri. Ronaldo was named Serie A Footballer of the Year in both 2019 and 2020, averaging around 34 goals per season across his three campaigns in Italy. ‌ The consummate professional isn't accustomed to letting his own standards slip, nor those around him. Ronaldo's tale is far from finished, too, after penning a fresh two-year deal with Al-Nassr in June. And former France anchor Matuidi isn't the first team-mate to be blown away by the high standards Ronaldo insists on driving off the field. Former Manchester United colleague Patrice Evra was also taken aback to see the lengths 'CR7' will go to in order to ensure he remains ahead of the competition. "I would give advice to anybody, when Cristiano invites you for lunch at his house, just say no," he said on the ITV World Cup podcast. "He once said, 'Patrice, come over after training.' I went, you know I was really tired, [and] at the table there was only salad and plain white chicken so I was like, okay, and water, not any juice. ‌ "We started eating and I was thinking some big meat would be coming after that but there was nothing. He just finished and he stood up and he started playing with a ball, doing some skills and he said, 'Let's do some two-touch.' I was like, can I just finish eating? "He said 'No, no let's play two-touch.' We start playing two touch. After that he said let's go to the pool to swim, I was like okay… after going in the jacuzzi, the sauna, I'm done. I say, 'Cristiano, why have we come here? Have we come here because we have a game tomorrow, or just for lunch?'" It gives some insight as to what one can expect to undertake if they want to reach the top of the game. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is cut out to go to those lengths.
