Bottega Veneta names Lorenzo Musetti new brand ambassador
Musetti is currently ranked No. 6 in the ATP singles rankings in 2025, and entered the 2025 Wimbledon Championships as the seventh seed. Sadly, the sportsman lost his opening round match on the same day as his ambassador news broke, losing to 126th-ranked player, Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili.

From here, he reached the semifinals of both the 2024 Wimbledon Championships and the 2025 French Open, and won bronze in the men's singles at the 2024 Paris Olympics for Italy. He was also a member of the Italian national team won the Davis Cup in both 2023 and 2024.

Dolce & Gabbana exhibition in Rome: Love letter to Italian culture
With more than 200 unique haute couture pieces on display across 14 themed rooms, the exhibition celebrates Dolce & Gabbana's universe. Whether exploring references to Italian opera, folklore, architecture, or traditional theatre, one theme remains central: exceptional craftsmanship.'I feel like I learned not only about different techniques, but also about Italian culture and the various cities in Italy,' one visitor said. 'My personal style doesn't align with Dolce & Gabbana's,' added another, 'but I was surprised by how emotional I felt visiting the exhibition today. What we see here isn't the work of machines, but of human hands.' Throughout the exhibition, there are strong references to Sicily - the birthplace of Domenico Dolce and a constant source of inspiration for the brand - as well as to other iconic places. A guest from Naples told Euronews: 'I think it's a representation of Italy. When you look at the pieces, you see the country. I really liked how it highlights Sicily and Sardinia, but also other parts of Italy. I even spotted Naples, where I'm from. And seeing a painting of Sophia Loren - that was truly beautiful.' The Rome edition of the exhibition features three new rooms, including one dedicated entirely to Italian cinema. More than just fashion, From the Heart to the Hands is a celebration of the people, places, and passion behind Italy's enduring cultural legacy - as seen through the lens of two of its most influential fashion designers.

Former finalist Paolini stunned as Wimbledon seeds continue to fall
Just 12 months after her run to the All England Club final, Paolini followed a host of highly-ranked seeds out of the grass-court Grand Slam. The Italian fourth seed, beaten by Barbora Krejcikova in the 2024 Wimbledon title match, slumped to a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 loss in two hours and 18 minutes on Court Three. After reaching the French Open and Wimbledon finals last year, Paolini has failed to make the quarter-finals in each of her last four Grand Slam appearances, although she won the Roland Garros doubles crown with partner Sara Errani in June. The 29-year-old's defeat against Rakhimova means four of the top five seeds in the women's singles have been eliminated just three days into the event. Second seed Coco Gauff, third seed Jessica Pegula and fifth seed Zheng Qinwen were beaten in the first round. World number one Aryna Sabalenka is the last of the top five seeds remaining after her win against Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic in the second round on Wednesday.

Ruthless Alcaraz ends Tarvet's Wimbledon fairytale
After a record-breaking number of seeds crashed out at the All England Club in the first round, Alcaraz avoided a seismic shock on Centre Court. The world number two had battled to a five-set win over 38-year-old Italian Fabio Fognini in a first-round clash lasting over four hours on Monday. He once again looked below his best, taking two hours and 17 minutes to subdue world number 733 Tarvet, who produced flashes of his emerging talent to delight the partisan crowd. "First of all I have to give big praise to Oliver. In his second match on the tour, I just loved his game to be honest," Alcaraz said. "I knew I had to play my best tennis. I was really happy with my performance but big praise to him as well." Alcaraz has won his past 20 matches since losing to Holger Rune in the Barcelona final in April, a blistering streak that has brought him titles at the Rome Masters, the French Open and Queen's Club. The 22-year-old Spaniard, who fought back from two sets down to beat Jannik Sinner on clay in an epic final at Roland Garros last month, has won 31 of his 34 Tour-level matches on grass. His last defeat at Wimbledon came against Sinner in the fourth round in 2022. "I found the right way. I try to enjoy every match. It doesn't matter if I'm winning or losing. That is the key," Alcaraz said. "The last few months have been a great winning streak. I just try to keep it going. "I'm trying to make the most of my time in Wimbledon. Let's see how far I can go." Standing ovation Having vanquished Novak Djokovic in the past two Wimbledon finals, Alcaraz is looking to join an elite group of Wimbledon icons. He hopes to become the fifth man in the Open Era to win at least three consecutive Wimbledon titles after seven-time champion Djokovic, Bjorn Borg, Roger Federer and Pete Sampras. In stark contrast to Alcaraz's fame and fortune, the unheralded Tarvet is just starting his tennis career and cannot even collect all of his Wimbledon prize money. As a student of the University of San Diego, the 21-year-old has to maintain amateur status and will have to give up most of his earnings. While Alcaraz is a five-time Grand Slam champion Tarvet was playing just his second major main draw match after coming through three qualifiers and beating Leandro Riedi in the opening round. More accustomed to playing in front of a few hundred spectators on the US college circuit, Tarvet defied the vast rankings gap to Alcaraz and had 15,000 Centre Court fans cheering his every move. Alcaraz was always in control but he appreciated the underdog's tenacious performance. He wrapped Tarvet in a warm hug after the last point and applauded him off the court as fans gave the plucky Briton a standing ovation. © 2025 AFP
