Tennis-Zverev withdraws from Gstaad, defending champion Berrettini also out
Zverev lost a five-set marathon to France's Arthur Rinderknech and later told reporters he felt "empty" and was considering therapy.
"Alexander Zverev has unfortunately withdrawn from the EFG Swiss Open Gstaad 2025 for personal reasons," organisers said.
They added that defending champion Matteo Berrettini would also miss the event due to injury. The Italian also suffered a surprise first-round exit at the recent grasscourt Grand Slam.
The Swiss Open begins on Monday.

Anastasija Sevastova ousts two-time defending champ Jessica Pegula in Montreal
MONTREAL: Anastasija Sevastova saved nine of 13 break points on Friday while recording a 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory over two-time defending champion Jessica Pegula in the third round of the National Bank Open in Montreal on Friday. Sevastova of Latvia had a first-serve percentage of 71 percent while rallying to upend the third-seeded Pegula. Sevastova, 35, had a hard time explaining what happened. "Somehow, I was down 2-0 in the second set and started to play better and better," Sevastova said. "Third set, I played really good. Just trying to stay on the court as long as possible." Pegula appeared to be sailing when she won eight of the first 11 games. But Sevastova won the next four games to jumpstart her comeback. After winning the second set, Sevastova lost the opening game of the third set before steamrolling Pegula the rest of the way. Pegula was perplexed over her collapse. "It was a strange match for me," Pegula said. "I felt like I was in complete control, and then I played a couple of terrible games." Sevastova was ranked as high as No. 11 in 2018 before injuries hampered her career. She was ranked No. 396 entering Friday's match. In 2018, Sevastova advanced to the US Open semifinals before losing to eventual runner-up Serena Williams. She will next face the winner of that 2018 US Open — Naomi Osaka. Osaka, a former No. 1 player, moved into the fourth round with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over No. 22 Jalena Ostapenko of Latvia. Osaka of Japan had five aces and converted 6 of 9 break-point opportunities. Ostapenko trailed 3-1 in the second set when she attempted to rally. She moved within one game before Osaka closed it out. No. 6 Madison Keys struggled early before recovering for a 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Caty McNally. No. 16 seed Clara Tauson of Switzerland notched a 6-3, 6-0 triumph over Yuliia Starodubtseva. There was little drama to be found in the four night matches. No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek of Poland breezed past Germany's Eva Lys 6-2, 6-2; No. 5 seed Amanda Anisimova dismissed Great Britain's Emma Raducanu 6-2, 6-1 in 64 minutes; and No. 10 seed Elina Svitolina of Ukraine spent just 55 minutes to defeat Russian Anna Kalinskaya 6-1, 6-1. The only three-setter of the bunch saw Czech 11th seed Karolina Muchova take down Swiss 17th seed Belinda Bencic 6-7 (2), 6-2, 6-3. Muchova saved 10 of 11 break points to keep herself afloat. — REUTERS

Norris completes Hungarian practice double as McLaren dominate
BUDAPEST, (Hungary): Lando Norris completed a Hungarian Grand Prix practice double on Friday as runaway leaders McLaren dominated both sessions while leaving something in reserve and almost colliding at the end. Norris was top of the timesheets in both sessions at the Hungaroring outside Budapest, with Formula One leader Oscar Piastri second and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc emerging as McLaren's closest rival. The Briton was 0.019 of a second faster than teammate Piastri, who has a 16 point lead after 13 of 24 races, in first practice and 0.291 quicker in the late afternoon when he set a best lap of one minute 15.624 seconds. "The car felt good from the first couple of laps," said Norris, who took pole position last year but then lost out to first time winner Piastri. "I've got a good feel for what we need from the car, so we'll work on that overnight and make sure we're in the best possible position going into qualifying tomorrow." At the end of the session, with the chequered flag already waved, Norris locked up coming out of the pits for a practice start as Piastri, winner in Belgium last weekend, went around the outside at turn one. Leclerc was third fastest in both sessions, with Racing Bulls' French rookie Isack Hadjar fourth in the opening one but Aston Martin coming on strong in the second with Lance Stroll fourth and Fernando Alonso fifth. "McLaren seem to be quite a bit ahead of us but we will stay focused on ourselves and try to turn things around tomorrow," said Leclerc. Double world champion Alonso had missed practice one due to back pain, with Brazilian reserve Felipe Drugovich standing in for him. Lewis Hamilton, winner a record eight times in Hungary with McLaren and Mercedes, was fifth and sixth on his return with Ferrari. "I'm still chasing grip, but we're heading in a positive direction. There's definitely more to extract ahead of qualifying," said the Briton. Mercedes's form looked more encouraging than at the last race in Belgium, with George Russell ending the day seventh, after earlier complaining about his car's balance, and Italian rookie Kimi Antonelli 10th. Red Bull's reigning champion Max Verstappen was ninth and 14th respectively in the sessions, with Japanese teammate Yuki Tsunoda 17th and ninth. "I don't know what's going on. It's just undriveable, I can't get any balance," said Verstappen over the team radio at one point in the late afternoon. Verstappen was summoned to the stewards for a bizarre incident in which the four-times world champion threw a towel out of the car's cockpit while on track at turn three. Red Bull were later reprimanded. Estonian Paul Aron took Nico Hulkenberg's Sauber for the opening session and was last after having to stop before the midpoint of the session due to a technical problem. Hulkenberg was 12th on his return.

Red Bull reprimanded after Verstappen throws towel on track
FORMULA ONE stewards issued a reprimand to Red Bull on Friday following an unusual incident involving Max Verstappen discarding a face towel from his car during practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix. The four-time world champion was called to explain the incident after the second session at the Hungaroring, with stewards reviewing video evidence. 'Shortly after Car 1 was released from its garage, the driver of Car 1 (Verstappen) was observed to have thrown a towel out of the cockpit,' the stewards stated. Verstappen clarified that the towel had slipped from his lap to the side of the seat while in the garage, and the team was unaware it remained inside. 'When the driver realised it was there, he moved to the far right of the track and attempted to throw it as far away from the car and the track as possible,' the statement continued. Despite his efforts, the towel landed on the asphalt and remained there until the session concluded. Stewards acknowledged that leaving the towel inside the cockpit posed a greater risk, as it could have obstructed the footwell and hindered Verstappen's control of the car. They ruled that Red Bull had released the car in an unsafe condition, though the violation was deemed less severe than if a hard object had been left inside. - Reuters
