File Photo by Gary I Rothstein/UPI | License Photo July 8 (UPI) -- Jasmine Paolini fired coach Marc Lopez after her second-round exit at Wimbledon 2025, the Italian tennis star announced on Instagram. "We had some great results together, especially in Rome and Paris, and I will always remember those moments," Paolini wrote on the social media platform. "I appreciate all the hard work and energy Marc gave every day. "Now that this part of the season is over, I've decided to make a change. I've learned a lot and made good progress, and now I'm taking the time to reflect on what the next step will be. Thank you again, Marc, for everything. I wish you all the best in the future." Paolini, 29, started working with Lopez in April. In March, she announced a split with former coach Renzo Furlan, ending their 10-year union. The two-time Grand Slam finalist is still searching for her first major title. She currently sits at No. 5 in the WTA singles rankings, one spot below her career-high, which she first achieved in October. Paolini, who lost to No. 16 Barbora Krejcikova in the Wimbledon 2024 women's singles final, beat No. 402 Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 in her Wimbledon 2025 opener. No. 80 Kamilla Rakhimova of Russia beat the Italian 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 two days later to end her run at the grass-court major. No. 27 Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic beat Rakhimova in the third round, but went on to lose to No. 12 Amanda Anisimova of the United States in the fourth round. Anisimova will take on No. 50 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in the quarterfinals Tuesday in London. Paolini was knocked out of the Wimbledon 2025 doubles tournament on Friday at the All-England Lawn Tennis Club. No. 4 Iga Swiatek of Poland beat Paolini in her first Grand Slam final appearance, which came at the 2024 French Open.

Josh Giddey hints at upcoming Bulls contract with cryptic IG post
The post Josh Giddey hints at upcoming Bulls contract with cryptic IG post appeared first on ClutchPoints. After the Chicago Bulls and Josh Giddey reportedly are not close to reaching a deal on a new contract, the free agent guard made a cryptic post on his Instagram. With numerous signings happening across the league three days into the free agency, are the Bulls looking for a potential Giddey replacement? Either way, Giddey's social media presence has applied pressure on Chicago. Advertisement Giddey hinted at his upcoming deal on his 24-hour Instagram story, posting a picture of himself in a Bulls jersey accompanied by an hourglass. It will be interesting to see the kind of deal Giddey commands, whether it's with the Bulls or elsewhere, as the busy NBA offseason continues. Giddey is reportedly seeking a five-year extension worth approximately $150 million, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. 'A five-year deal in the $150 million range is indeed the most commonly projected ballpark for Chicago's restricted free agent-to-be Josh Giddey … similar to the deals signed by Orlando's Jalen Suggs and Atlanta's Jalen Johnson from Giddey's same draft class,' Stein wrote. That could be a figure Chicago is struggling to decide on contract negotiations between them and Josh Giddey continue into July. Giddey averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists across 70 appearances, shooting 46.5% from the field and 37.8% from three in 2024-25. Advertisement Bulls labeled a fit for restricted free agent amid Josh Giddey talks Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Amid contract negotiations with Bulls free agent guard/forward Josh Giddey, the Bulls have also been linked to the 76ers guard Quentin Grimes as another potential target. Grimes could take on Giddey's role at a fraction of the cost. Either way, there have been no updates on talks between the Bulls and Giddey, according to ESPN's Kevin Pelton. 'Chicago would actually make some sense,' Pelton noted, 'but the Bulls are busy dealing with Giddey's restricted free agency.' Perhaps it's an opportunity worth looking into if you're the Bulls.

Jalen Green shares emotional goodbye to Rockets after trade
The post Jalen Green shares emotional goodbye to Rockets after trade appeared first on ClutchPoints. The massive seven-team trade headlined by the Phoenix Suns and the Houston Rockets was finalized on Sunday after a complex review of all the moving pieces. Advertisement With this, fast-rising guard Jalen Green is officially headed to the Suns as part of the package offered by the Rockets to land star forward Kevin Durant. There were high hopes for the 23-year-old Green when he was drafted by Houston as the second overall pick in 2021. While he has shown what it takes to be a franchise cornerstone, especially last season, ultimately, the Rockets didn't envision him as part of their future. Still, Green expressed his love to Houston amid his departure. 'H-Town! Thank you for everything 🖤 The support and love from day one is something I'll never forget🤞🏽 It's forever🤘🏽,' said Green on Instagram. Fans, meanwhile, expressed their gratitude to Green for being part of the squad for four seasons. Advertisement 'We love you, JG!❤️' wrote a fan. 'Rocket for life! Go be great, JG ❤️,' echoed another fan. 'We gonna miss you, my boy 😎, commented a follower. 'If you can't stop them, just make them regret 🔥,' said a supporter. 'You always have a home here 🙏🏽,' added a fan. Green averaged 20.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in his four years with the Rockets. He helped them return to the playoffs last season as the second seed after a three-year absence. He, however, struggled in their first-round loss to the Golden State Warriors, putting up only 13.3 points on 37.2% shooting. His subpar showing may have made him more expendable, as Houston made a slew of moves this offseason. Advertisement In Phoenix, he is expected to form a vaunted backcourt rotation with All-Star guards Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, although the latter is rumored to being bought out and shipped. Aside from Green, the Rockets also sent veteran forward Dillon Brooks and draft considerations to the Suns.
