LONDON (AP) — No. 17 seed Karen Khachanov reached his second Wimbledon quarterfinal by beating Kamil Majchrzak 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 on Sunday.
'To be honest, today was a really great performance — at least from my side,' said Khachanov, who finished with more than twice as many winners as unforced errors, 44-21.
The Russian, also a quarterfinalist at the All England Club four years ago, will play No. 5 Taylor Fritz, the U.S. Open runner-up last year, or Jordan Thompson next.
Khachanov has been a Grand Slam semifinalist twice, at the U.S. Open in 2022 and the Australian Open in 2023.
The 109th-ranked Majchrzak was playing in a fourth-round match at a major for the first time. He was on a six-match Grand Slam losing streak before Wimbledon. What else happened at Wimbledon on Sunday?
Other men's matches later were two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz vs. No. 14 Andrey Rublev, and Nicolas Jarry vs. Cam Norrie. The women's fourth-rounders on the Sunday schedule were No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka vs. No. 24 Elise Mertens, No. 13 Amanda Anisimova vs. No. 30 Linda Noskova, Sonay Kartal vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, and lucky loser Solana Sierra vs. Laura Siegemund. Who plays at the All England Club on Monday?
The quarterfinals will be set after Monday's play, which leads off at Centre Court with 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic against No. 11 Alex de Minaur at 1:30 p.m. local time (8:30 a.m. ET). They were supposed to face each other in last year's quarterfinals at Wimbledon, but de Minaur was forced to withdraw before the match with a hip injury. That's to be followed by No. 7 Mirra Andreeva vs. No. 10 Emma Navarro, who eliminated 2024 champion Barbora Krejcikova in the third round, and then No. 1 Jannik Sinner vs. No. 19 Grigor Dimitrov. Others in action: Iga Swiatek, Ben Shelton and Marin Cilic.

Photos show Turkey's youngest oil wrestlers keeping a 14th-century tradition alive

EDIRNE, Turkey (AP) — On a grass field slick with olive oil and steeped in tradition, hundreds of boys as young as 11 joined the ranks of Turkey's most time-honored sporting event: the annual Kirkpinar Oil Wrestling Championship. Held every summer in the northwestern city of Edirne, the event is said to date back to the 14th century as a way of keeping the Ottoman Empire's fighting men fit and ready for battle. The sport, which is on UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list, sees wrestlers cover themselves in olive oil and try to press their opponent's back to the ground to win the bout. Alongside the men contesting, youngsters also don the iconic 'kispet' leather trousers to embark on a slippery test of strength, skill and stamina under the scorching sun. The boys are ranked in divisions based on age, height and build, with the youngest generally placed in the 'minik,' or tiny, category. Under strict safety regulations, their matches are shorter and closely supervised. Most young wrestlers train year-round at local clubs, often in towns where oil wrestling is passed down through generations. While the youngest competitors aren't wrestling for titles like 'baspehlivan,' the grand champion of the men's matches, their participation is no less significant as it is key to the continuity of a sport that holds deep cultural importance across Turkey. This year's contest – the 664th in its history – saw 36-year-old Orhan Okulu win his third men's title. 'My goal was the golden belt in Kirkpinar and thanks to my God, I succeeded,' Okulu said of the coveted prize. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

Naylor homers as the Diamondbacks beat the Padres 6-3 on Machado's big night

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Josh Naylor hit a two-run homer against his original team and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat San Diego 6-3 on Monday night after Padres slugger Manny Machado got his 2,000th career hit. Machado hit a hard shot off the glove of diving shortstop Geraldo Perdomo leading off the fourth inning and received a standing ovation. Machado, whose milestone hit came off starter Zac Gallen, became the fifth active player and 297th overall to reach 2,000 hits. Machado's third hit of the night was a homer off Kyle Backhus leading off the eighth, his 15th of the season and 357th of his career. The All-Star slugger also had a single in the first. Machado grounded into a game-ending double play against Kevin Ginkel, who earned his second save. Yu Darvish (0-1) made his season debut for the Padres after being sidelined with right elbow inflammation since spring training. He allowed two runs and three hits in 3 2/3 innings, struck out five and walked two. He got a nice ovation when he was lifted. Naylor homered to center field off Yuki Matsui with one out in the fifth and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. aboard on a single. It was his 11th. Naylor made his big league debut with the Padres in 2019 and was traded to Cleveland on Aug. 31, 2020, in the nine-player deal that brought Mike Clevinger to San Diego. Gallen (7-9) pitched six strong innings, holding the Padres to one unearned run and five hits while striking out nine and walking one. He improved to 4-0 in his last five starts against San Diego. Naylor walked leading off the second and scored on All-Star Eugenio Suárez's double that rattled around in the left-field corner. Gurriel's single in the third brought in Corbin Carroll, who hit a leadoff double and advanced on Perdomo's sacrifice bunt. Carroll hit an RBI triple in the eighth and scored on Perdomo's single. Key moment Machado's milestone hit came a day after his 33rd birthday. Key stat Machado is the 12th-youngest player with 2,000 career hits and at least 350 homers. Up next Diamondbacks RHP Merrill Kelly (7-4, 3.55 ERA) and Padres RHP Nick Pivetta (9-2, 3.25) are scheduled to start Tuesday night. ___ AP MLB:

When does Taylor Fritz play next? How to watch American in Wimbledon quarterfinals

Taylor Fritz's pursuit of his first Grand Slam singles title is still alive. The American tennis star is into the quarterfinals of the men's draw at Wimbledon, where he will take on Karen Khachanov of Russia with a spot in the semifinals on the line. Fritz, the No. 5 player in the world, needed five sets to win each of his first two matches, but he has been more dominant the past two rounds. He knocked off 26th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain in four sets in the third round and needed just 41 minutes in the fourth round to defeat Australia's Jordan Thompson, who retired due to an injury while trailing 3-0 in the second set (and after dropping the first set 6-1). This year marks the third time since 2022 that Fritz has reached the quarterfinals, though in each of the previous two instances, he failed to advance to the semifinals.
