Daria Kasatkina suffers ‘unfortunate' wardrobe malfunction in Wimbledon loss
The curious scene unfolded when the 16th-seeded Kasatkina lobbed a forehand return to No. 19 seed Samsonova, with the piece of jewelry becoming attached to her shirt during the series.
When Samsonova, 26, fired back, Kasatkina, 28, could not respond in time.

Samsonova ultimately punched her ticket to the Round of 16 with the 6-2, 6-3 victory.
She last advanced to the fourth round of Wimbledon in 2021, when she fell to eventual finalist Karolína Plíšková. Plíšková lost to Ashleigh Barty in the women's singles final that year.

'I knew that it's going to be very tough… she's in great shape, winning a lot, especially on grass, and her game… It's very good on this surface,' she said of Samsonova, as covered by The First Serve.
'Of course, I think I could do better on my side, but I also have to give her credit. She played a very, very good match.

'Her serve is one of the most dangerous ones on tour. A few times, I looked [at] the speed, it was about 170 miles per hour… We all know her game is super aggressive… I didn't feel like she was giving me any gifts today.'

Wimbledon predictions, best bets: Jannik Sinner vs. Grigor Dimitrov odds, picks Sunday
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Jannik Sinner will face his first stiff test at Wimbledon on Sunday morning, but he's still a massive favorite over Grigor Dimitrov. There were some minor questions about how Sinner would fare at Wimbledon after his heartbreaking loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open final, but those queries have seemingly been answered. Nobody has been able to lay a glove on Sinner through three matches, and the Italian has yet to spend more than two hours on the court for a single contest. Whitewashing Luca Nardi, Alexander Vukic and Pedro Martinez is one thing, but it will be a lot trickier to rout a player of Dimitrov's caliber. Wimbledon: Sinner vs. Dimitrov preview Dimitrov may be past his prime, but he is still a high-ceiling player who can do some serious damage when he's in form and, most importantly, physically fit. The Bulgarian was once the World No. 3 and he's been to the semifinals at three different Grand Slams. However, he's battled injuries lately and is never a safe bet to finish a match at this point. Dimitrov has been forced to retire from four different matches this season, including his first-round contests at the Australian Open and Roland Garros. It's great news that Dimitrov has been able to get through his first three matches at Wimbledon, but he'll now be playing on back-to-back days and will be put through the ringer against Sinner. Grigor Dimitrov made it to the semifinals at Wimbledon in 2014. AFP via Getty Images Wimbledon: Sinner vs. Dimitrov pick Dimitrov will know that he will need to have his sea legs with him in the latter stages of this match if he's going to have a chance of pulling this upset. That could lead to a quick set or two in the early stages of the match, as Dimitrov will likely try to conserve energy if Sinner gets ahead by a break or two.

Shannon Sharpe still hasn't legally responded to bombshell sexual assault lawsuit
Shannon Sharpe's legal team has not filed a response to the sexual assault lawsuit filed earlier this year, which created national headlines for days. The complaint had been filed in court in Nevada in April and alleged that Sharpe had assaulted, sexually assaulted, committed battery, sexual battery and had intentionally inflicted emotional distress on a woman in her 20s with whom he had a nearly two-year relationship. Sharpe, 57, has denied the claims and called the lawsuit a 'shakedown' in a statement released shortly after the suit had been filed. Advertisement Since the initial blitz of headlines, the case has gone quiet, but Pro Football Talk reported on Sunday that Sharpe has not filed a response to the civil complaint and that a hearing on three different motions would take place on July 9. Shannon Sharpe attends Netflix & WWE 'Monday Night RAW' Brunch at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino on April 21, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Getty Images for Netflix It's scheduled for 10 a.m. local time and had originally been set to take place on June 30. Advertisement The report noted that responses are usually due within 30 days of being served and that extensions can be granted out of courtesy among lawyers. Reps for Sharpe's legal team did not immediately return The Post's request for comment. Shannon Sharpe at the 56th NAACP Image Awards held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on February 22, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. Variety via Getty Images Sharpe's lawyer, Lanny Davis, had told reporters during a press conference in April that Sharpe would file a counterclaim against the woman, who Sharpe's legal team identified, but who The Post has not named. Advertisement Davis had also said at the time that Sharpe had offered the woman 'at least $10 million' in a settlement and called it a 'big surprise' when the case was filed. The plaintiff alleged that several times at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, Sharpe had assaulted her. Davis claimed that the woman had been trying to commit 'a classic definition of blackmail' by filing the suit before Sharpe signed a massive podcast network deal that had been reported to be for more than $100 million. The plaintiff is being represented by Tony Buzzbee, who represented more than 20 women against Deshaun Watson during his extensive sexual assault case in 2021.
