According to data from Launchmetrics, the data research and insights company for fashion, luxury and beauty, the tennis tournament had a media impact value of $1.1 billion, a 23 percent increase from last year's championships. More from WWD Tom Sachs' Nike Mars Yard 3.0 Will Require You to Participate in 'Summer Camp' Challenges to Purchase Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Names Ludivine Pont CEO Why CEO Pay Is Always Moving Higher in Fashion - and Corporate America Ralph Lauren, Wimbledon's official outfitter since 2006, topped the list with the highest media value of all the brands present — $22.5 million — a 20 percent increase year-on-year. The American brand hosted luncheons in its suite and dressed celebrities ranging from Andrew Garfield to Monica Barbaro and Olivia Rodrigo throughout the two weeks of the tournament. Kate Middleton also made the cut. Her attendance at Wimbledon generated $36 million in media impact value. Her custom Self-Portrait dress alone had a media impact value of $918,000, boosting the brand's presence by 17 percent when compared to data from the same period last year. Jannik Sinner, the Italian tennis player who ranks as the world number one, and who won the men's singles title, was also a winner off-court. He generated a total of $9.1 million in media impact value. Some $4.7 million of that came from Rolex after he lifted the Wimbledon trophy wearing the brand's Cosmograph Daytona. Some $4.4 million came from Nike, for which he's been an ambassador since 2019. According to Launchmetrics, Sinner's Instagram post of him holding the Wimbledon trophy was the top-performing placement overall for the tournament. His single post, where he tagged Rolex and Nike, generated $1.4 million in media impact value and has accumulated 1.8 million likes so far. The tennis star is also a Gucci ambassador and throughout the tournament carried his Gucci duffel bag onto the grass court generating $525,000 in media impact value.

New Zealand crushes Zimbabwe by 60 runs to keep perfect record at T20 tri-series
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — New Zealand stayed perfect at the T20 tri-series with a crushing 60-run win over host Zimbabwe on Thursday. Tim Seifert (75) smashed his second successive half century and Rachin Ravindra made an entertaining 63 runs off 39 balls as New Zealand posted the tournament's highest total of 190-6 with its fourth straight win of the league stage. New Zealand and South Africa had already secured their places in Saturday's final. Leg-spinner Ish Sodhi, one of four changes for New Zealand, grabbed a career-best 4-12 in four overs as Zimbabwe was dismissed for 130 in 18.5 overs. Zimbabwe lost all four games. Supreme Seifert Mitchell Santner became the first captain in the tournament to choose to bat first on a tricky wicket after winning the toss. Tim Robinson (10) couldn't capitalize on Ryan Burl's dropped catch in the slips before he had scored and was out to Zimbabwe's best bowler, Richard Ngarava (4-34). Zimbabwe was scrappy in the field when Seifert got a lucky escape on 13 as Tony Munyonga missed a catching opportunity at deep backward square leg. Together with Ravindra, Seifert raised 108 runs for the second wicket before Zimbabwe hit back. Fast bowler Tinotenda Maposa had both Ravindra and Mark Chapman caught in the outfield in the space of three balls and Ngarava chipped in with three wickets in his return spell. Seifert feathered a catch to wicketkeeper Clive Madande after Ngarava outfoxed him with a slower ball while Bevon Jacobs was spectacularly caught by Munyonga at backward point. Michael Bracewell made a 16-ball 26 and Trevor Gwandu (0-51) went for 21 runs off his final over. 'Different guys stepping up at different times is a good thing, although it can be a selection headache at times," Santner said. We know we have a massive game in a couple of days' time.' Sodhi strikes Zimbabwe opener Dion Myers (22) smashed four boundaries in a brisk start before Sodhi struck three times inside the batting powerplay and the hosts were reduced to 37-4. Sodhi clean bowled Myers and Madande after Brian Bennett was caught when he failed to clear Jacobs at extra cover as he tried to show early aggression against the leg-spinner. Off-spinner Bracewell made it 44-5 when he took a well judged caught-and-bowled off Burl's miscued hit before Munyonga (40 in 30) and Tashinga Musekiwa (21) resisted with a 51-run partnership. Sodhi returned in the 14th over and picked up his 150th T20 wicket when Munyonga holed out at long-off. New Zealand's pace then finished off the tail in quick succession with Matt Henry taking 2-34. 'We keep digging ourselves a hole and when we try to climb out of it, we don't,' Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza said. 'The catches we dropped hurt us. As much as we wanted to be upbeat, it took us a bit of time to get into the game. One of the things I will speak (to players) is that it is never a dead rubber for Zimbabwe.' ___ AP cricket:

Wrexham confirm signing of midfielder Lewis O'Brien from Nottingham Forest
Lewis O'Brien has left Nottingham Forest to join Championship side Wrexham. The 26-year-old midfielder has led a nomadic existence since joining then newly promoted Forest in the summer of 2022, in a £10million package deal from Huddersfield, which also included Harry Toffolo. O'Brien has made 17 appearances for Forest, including six Premier League starts, amid loan spells with DC United, Middlesbrough, Los Angeles FC and Swansea. And he remained surplus to requirements under Nuno Espirito Santo, as Forest prepare for their fourth season back in the top flight. But he will now join Wrexham, who will compete in the second tier for the first time in 40 years in the coming campaign, after securing their third consecutive promotion. 'I'm absolutely buzzing. It's been a long time coming, but to be here is great,' O'Brien said in a statement on Wrexham's website. 'The last couple of years has been a whirlwind for me and my family, but to sign a long-term contract and find somewhere I can call home is a great feeling. Advertisement 'After speaking to everyone here, it's a club with a lot of ambition. I want to be part of that journey, and take Wrexham to where they want to be.' The Welsh side, managed by Phil Parkinson, will view O'Brien's experience in the Championship – where he has played with three different clubs – as a valuable asset.
