Musetti has enjoyed a fine clay court season. A Monte Carlo Masters finalist, losing to Alcaraz, the Italian has found a consistency and calmness to his flowy, showy strokes. The 23-year-old has already knocked out Holger Rune and Frances Tiafoe, but was arguably lucky to still be in the tournament after kicking a ball that accidentally hit a line judge against the the American. According to the rules, he should have been defaulted, but received only a code violation. He has the game to do some damage.
No player has won more tournaments in 2025 than Alcaraz, but the second-seeded Spaniard has been inconsistent in reaching the last four at Roland Garros. He dropped sets against unheralded Fabian Marozsan and Damir Dzumhur but in beating Tommy Paul for the loss of just five games in the last eight, the 22-year-old seemed to be back to his bludgeoning best. Alcaraz leads the head-to-head record 4-1, having won the past four meetings, and will start as favorite.
Musetti is arguably lucky to be here after accidentally kicking a ball at a line judge in his quarter-final win over Frances Tiafoe, an offense that usually results in disqualification. He'll want to take advantage of his second chance against Alcaraz.
The winner will face Jannik Sinner or Novak Djokovic in the final. Tune in to find out who it'll be. The players are making their way to Court Philippe Chatrier now, so get ready to enjoy a potential classic.

Sinner on court, Musetti into second set

Follow reaction to an entertaining second day at the 2025 Championships, with American Coco Gauff one of several big names knocked out at SW19 Getty Images Getty Images The heat has not stopped play progressing at Wimbledon today as another wave of stars take to the courts. No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner is underway in the early stages of his match against Luca Nardi — that's an intriguing battle between two Italians. Meanwhile, their compatriot Lorenzo Musetti (7), last year's semifinalist here, is down a set against Georgia's Nikoloz Basilashvili over on No. 2 Court. Getty Images FINAL: Tauson 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 Watson After a stunning day for the Brits yesterday — the best in the Open Era for wins by British players at Wimbledon — we've seen a couple of home hopefuls exit today and Heather Watson is one of them. After working hard to take the first set, she let that match slip with No. 23 seed Clara Tauson taking the next two sets to seal the win. Here's what the American had to say in his on-court interview after booking his place in the second round: 'The score line lied a little bit, he was in a lot of my service games. He has a great serve, he's a tough guy to break and he had a couple of break points there which made me a little nervous. 'I tried to make it as difficult for him as I could. The grass doesn't get much better than it does at Wimbledon. Every time you come out here you feel pretty good, especially knowing that I've had some good results out here. 'I haven't played too many matches so I don't have a great idea (of where I am) but I've been practising and obviously I played a good match out here today.' Well, it's been a disappointing day for Jessica Pegula. Here's how she reflected on her first round exit against Elisabetta Cocciaretto: 'I don't know (what happened). She played absolutely incredible tennis. Do I think I played the best match ever? No, but I definitely don't think I was playing bad. It wasn't like I was playing that bad. 'She just was hitting her shots and going for it, serving big, serving high percentage, going big second serves, redirecting the ball. It was just her day I honestly think today. 'She has good results on grass, though. I remember I played her, what, fourth round a couple years ago. She obviously likes the grass and does well on it.' Caoimhe O'Neill / The Athletic Panama hats and tennis go hand in hand. All along Wimbledon Park Road there are pop-ups selling the hats you will see fill up Centre Court for the next two weeks. Soccer legend David Beckham and former England manager Gareth Southgate were both spotted wearing them in the Royal Box as Carlos Alcaraz overcame Fabio Fognini on Monday afternoon. This man was selling them for £20 per hat. That's roughly $28. Not a bad business to be in over the next two weeks. FINAL: Monday 4-6, 4-6, 2-6 Paul That's a tidy performance from Tommy Paul. A straight-sets victory wrapped up on two match points, the quarter-finalist from last year is back with a bang. He'll be glad to get out of the sun having booked his place in the next round. Here's what she had to say in her on court interview: 'To play here in such an unbelievable stadium and tournament is such a dream come true for me. I was so pumped to play here, I couldn't wait for the match to start. I played a really great champion, she's a great player and a role model for all of us. 'I had a lot of stops, last year here I was in the hospital for a month and I couldn't play here. So that's why I was so pumped to play. It's the best tournament and grass is always special to play. 'I don't think too much about my ranking right now. The journey of tennis is long, you have to adapt yourself and enjoy.' I was saying on the Tennis Podcast last week that backing players who have had a good week on the grass just before Wimbledon can often be a fool's errand. Step forward American No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula, who fresh from winning the Bad Homburg Open on Saturday, has just bombed out in the first round here, losing to the world No. 116 Elisabetta Cocciaretto. That's a big upset and a major setback for Pegula, a former quarterfinalist here. FINAL: Cocciaretto 6-2, 6-3 Pegula Well, well, well. The first two days at Wimbledon have been rocky for the seeded players and another one falls at the first round. No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula of the U.S. is out after a straight-sets defeat against Italy's Elisabetta Cocciaretto. Cocciaretto, quite understandably, looks thrilled with that result. Caoimhe O'Neill/The Athletic Southfields is a regular spot for me being a Wimbledon local. And I was tempted to call it a hidden gem but for two weeks of the year thousands of new people get to discover it as the train station is on a road that leads straight into the All England Club. Here are some of those people leaving the tube station this morning after some earlier disruption on the District line had cleared up. 'We apologise to customers using the District line for the delays to their service this morning,' a Transport for London spokesperson said. 'The delays were caused by a fire alert at South Kensington.' Monday 4-6, 1-2* Paul It's Britain against the USA over on No. 3 Court as Tommy Paul has taken the first set against wildcard Johannus Monday. And it's getting better for the No. 13 seed — Paul has just broken Monday in the second set. He lets out a little fist pump in celebration and heads straight for a towel stuffed with ice cubes to put around his neck at the changeover. Tauson 2-6, *1-0 Watson Over on Court 12 Britain's Heather Watson is in action and she has taken the first set 6-2 against No. 23 seed Clara Tauson, though she is a break down in the second. Things are heating up here at Wimbledon — it's already 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) with things set to get hotter as we move through the afternoon. There's a light breeze but it's not really taking the edge off baking conditions around the site. Cocciaretto 6-2, 0-0* Pegula Well, after a day of upsets yesterday we're off to an interesting start for third seed Jessica Pegula on No. 2 Court here. Cocciaretto has taken the first set inside 25 minutes to leave the American with a job to do in the second set. Pegula will serve first as we resume play. This is what I'm calling the fancy entrance to Centre Court. Throughout the day visitors stop here to take photos. And you can see why. Look at the ivy covered walls and colourful planters. It all looks and feels quintessentially British and as a lot of tennis fans have told me today, from England and elsewhere, this is why they make this sporting pilgrimage. There's just something about Wimbledon. Among the matches getting underway first thing here at Wimbledon are the following: Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs. Jessica Pegula (3) Johannus Monday vs. Tommy Paul (13) Alex de Minaur (11) vs. Roberto Carballés Baena But there's plenty more to come throughout the day too... Only moments away from the action starting. We can't wait. Getty Images There is some serious history behind the trophies received by the two Wimbledon singles champions. The men's singles trophy was first presented in 1887 — cup-shaped and standing 18 inches high, with a diameter of 7.5 inches. A for the women's singles trophy, that was first presented a year earlier — dish-shaped with a mythological theme, it is known as the Rosewater Dish or Venus Rosewater Dish. The winner of both will receive a three-quarter size replica bearing the names of all past champions.

Burnley complete signing of Lazio forward Loum Tchaouna on long-term deal

Burnley have completed the signing of France Under-21 international Loum Tchaouna from Italian club Lazio. The 21-year-old forward, who was part of his country's squad for the U21 European Championship this summer, has signed a five-year deal at Turf Moor and is Burnley's fourth signing of a busy summer as they prepare to return to the Premier League. Advertisement Tchaouna can operate front the right or centrally, and the product of Rennes' academy has already played 130 senior games in his career. He spent time on loan at Dijon from Rennes before moving to Italy with Salernitana. Tchaouna joined Lazio in summer 2024 and made 37 appearances last season, largely from the bench. Burnley have already secured the arrivals of former Manchester United defender defender Axel Tuanzebe on a free transfer, left-back Quilindschy Hartman from Feyenoord and goalkeeper Max Weiss from German side Karlsruher. Scott Parker's side will compete in the top flight for the coming season after finishing as runners-up in the Championship with 100 points, behind Leeds United on goal difference. (Marco Rosi –)

Matt Freese's shootout heroics could give USMNT a lasting emotional lift

As the pressure rose and the margin for error shrunk to nothing, Matt Freese stood tall. Again. And again. And then once more. In a penalty shootout that will long be remembered by U.S. men's national team fans as a turning point — or perhaps, more accurately, a launching pad — Freese didn't just stop Costa Rica. He saved three penalties, putting on a performance that any goalkeeper, anywhere in the world, would be proud of. He didn't just keep the U.S. alive in the Gold Cup. He seized a moment that could reshape the arc of his career and redefine the U.S. goalkeeper picture heading into a critical 12 months. Advertisement And the most impressive part? He did it with a level of calm that belied the stakes. Penalty shootouts have always held a kind of mystique. To outsiders, they feel like a coin flip, chaotic, nerve-wracking, and random. But for goalkeepers, that perception couldn't be further from the truth. Penalties are a science, an art, and most of all, a mental duel. They reward preparation, psychology, and presence. They reward the ability to stand still while the world spins around you — not just physically, but emotionally, too. Watch Freese during the shootout and you'll see it immediately. There's no dramatic arm-waving or kinetic energy spilling out of him. He's not trying to intimidate the taker with any crazy movements or antics. His power comes from poise. He makes himself big and waits calmly, patiently, even invitingly, for the taker to show his hand. Matty 'Ice' Freese 🥶 — Gold Cup (@GoldCup) June 30, 2025 His approach is exactly what Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma did to England in the Euro 2020 final. Standing tall in goal like a statue while the England takers danced their way through a series of stuttering run-ups, Donnarumma never flinched. He held his ground, watched them closely, and forced the England takers to make the first move. That pressure — the silence, the stillness — is often more unnerving than any exaggerated motion. Freese channeled that same energy. He didn't guess. He didn't dive early. He read the body cues: plant foot, hip alignment, shoulders, stride cadence — and made decisive, well-timed reactions. These are the details that can tip the scales, details that most viewers never notice but that goalkeepers live by. And when a goalkeeper gets it right, the effect ripples well beyond the goalmouth. It doesn't just change the scoreboard, it changes the temperature of the team. Because here's the thing: in a shootout, confidence is contagious. When your goalkeeper is in control, the rest of the squad feels it, they all sense that security in goal. It frees them to shoot with more bravery, to embrace the moment rather than shrink from it. Advertisement That's why Freese's performance wasn't just a personal breakthrough. It was a team-wide shift in energy. He turned a moment of tension into one of belief. His saves weren't just stops; they were statements. And for a U.S. team that has seen instability at the goalkeeper position for the better part of a year, that clarity matters more than ever. The door is open. Matt Turner's club form has wavered. Ethan Horvath has struggled to secure consistent playing time. Gaga Slonina is still very much a work in progress. There's been a vacuum of certainty, a rotating cast of options, but no clear No. 1. Freese, coming off a strong MLS season with NYCFC and now this defining performance, is offering something different: momentum. He's offering presence. He's offering belief. These are the kinds of performances that stick with you, not just because of the result, but because of how they unfold. A 'keeper saving three penalties isn't just about reflexes or luck. It's about controlling a moment most players dread. In tournament football, that kind of performance can fast-track a career. The timing couldn't be more important. With both the Gold Cup and the Club World Cup being played on American soil this summer, the spotlight on goalkeepers will only intensify. These are knockout competitions. As the USMNT prepares to face Guatemala on Wednesday and Mexico takes on Honduras in the Gold Cup semis, and the Club World Cup prepares for its quarterfinal stage, it seems inevitable that some ties will go the distance and shootouts will follow. That means more moments like these, more high-stakes duels at 12 yards, where everything hinges on a single act of stillness and split-second decision-making. Freese won't be the only one hoping to seize that opportunity. Paris Saint-Germain's Donnarumma remains the modern standard. At just 26, he already carries the aura of a veteran. In the past 50 years, only three goalkeepers who have participated in at least six penalty shootouts at the professional level have a better win rate than the towering shot-stopper — he has an 85.7 per cent success rate, winning six of seven shootouts. Former Bayern Munich 'keeper Jean-Marie Pfaff (eight out of eight) and Bayer Leverkusen's Lukas Hradecky (six out of six) occupy rare air as undefeated shootout 'keepers with a sizable body of work behind them. Advertisement Donnarumma has secured victory from the penalty spot three times for his boyhood club Milan, twice for Italy — in the semifinals and final of Euro 2020 — and most recently for PSG in the Champions League round of 16 against Liverpool. He saved two penalties at Anfield, just as he did four years ago for Italy against England at Wembley Stadium. His only defeat in a penalty shootout came in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France against Nice in January 2022. Donnarumma has an almost unnerving ability to remain motionless as takers make their approach. His presence is part technique, part theatre. He forces doubt. But the Italian is far from alone. Yassine Bounou is another who has built a reputation on composure under pressure. During Morocco's historic run to the 2022 World Cup semifinals, Bounou was immense, saving two penalties against Spain in the round of 16 and becoming a national hero in the process. His anticipation, timing, and body control are textbook. Just last week, now with Saudi side Al Hilal, he saved a late penalty against Real Madrid to secure an impressive 1-1 draw in this summer's Club World Cup, the most recent reminder of his big-game pedigree. Manuel Neuer, the elder statesman of this group, has long been synonymous with penalty expertise. His track record for Bayern Munich and Germany speaks for itself. What sets him apart, even now at 38 years old, is his mental durability. Neuer doesn't blink. He waits. He reads. And his ability to pull off the big moment hasn't waned with age. Gregor Kobel, meanwhile, represents the next wave of intelligent, disciplined 'keepers. For Borussia Dortmund, he has developed into one of the Bundesliga's most dependable goalkeepers in penalty situations. He's methodical in his preparation, calculated in his decision-making, and rarely allows the moment to dictate his actions. All of these goalkeepers share the same foundational trait: they stay big. They stay calm. They don't flinch first. In a shootout, that's everything. The temptation as a goalkeeper is to do more, to make yourself look like you're doing something. But often, those dramatic gestures only serve the taker. They are very difficult to time well and often reveal your hand too early. The best 'keepers know that minimalism wins. Let the taker think. Let him wonder. Let him guess. And then react. Freese got that balance just right. On each of his three saves against Costa Rica, he held his position long enough to pick up the aforementioned subtle cues and moved with explosive efficiency. His set position was clean, his footwork was crisp, and his dives were purposeful. Advertisement Technically, he looked as sound as we've seen him. Psychologically, he looked even better. And that's the part that may matter most. Because the truth is, saving penalties isn't just about knowing the scouting report or diving correctly. It's about handling the weight of the moment. It's about staying inside the eye of the storm while everything swirls around you. Some goalkeepers shrink from that pressure. Others feed off it. Donnarumma does. So does Bounou. Neuer made a career of it. And now, maybe, so does Matt Freese. One shootout does not define a career. But sometimes, it reveals what's been building beneath the surface: confidence, readiness, belief. In the same way that Donnarumma's breakout on the Euro stage launched him into a new tier of recognition, Freese now has the chance to do the same. His name is in the conversation. Not just as a shootout hero, but as a legitimate contender for the U.S. No. 1 shirt. Whether he holds onto that role long term will depend on consistency. But this moment — three saves, unwavering presence, and a team lifted by one man's calm — might just be the start of something. Because in the end, the beauty of a penalty shootout lies not in the chaos, but in the clarity it offers. You either make the save or you don't. You hold your nerve or you flinch. You rise to the moment or the moment swallows you. On Sunday night, Freese didn't just rise to it. He owned it.
