From The Hindu, July 4, 1975: Connors, Ashe to meet in finals
London, July 3: Defending champion Jimmy Cornors and Arthur Ashe won their semi-finals in the nearly Rs. 19.6 lakhs Wimbledon tennis championships to-day and became the first Americans to meet in the finals since Jack Kramer beat Tom Brown way back in 1947. Top seed Connors in a display of tennis mastery that awed the capacity of 15,000 in Centre Court tamed Roscoe Tanner's 140 mile-an-hour service with a dazzling display of ground strokes and beat him in 75 minutes 6-4, 6-1, 6-4. In the other semi-final, sixth seeded Ashe beat Australia's 16th seed, Torry Roche, in a comparatively tedious two hour and 50 minute marathon 5-7, 6-4, 7-5, 8-9, 6-4. Connors, an overwhelming favourite to beat Ashe, now is better than even money to become the first champion since 1938 to win the singles without the loss of a set.

Inside tour of Shubman Gill's Rs 3.2 crore Fazilka house: Big lawn for Lohri bonfires to home gym
Shubman Gill, India's Test captain and a top-order batter from Punjab, has carved out a spot among the elites. After taking charge of the Gujarat Titans in 2024 and leading India on the 2025 tour of England, Gill has matched performance with significant paydays. He has also delivered five consecutive IPL seasons with 400+ runs and now holds top-tier BCCI and franchise contracts. With growing brand deals and consistent form, his earnings have soared. And with that rise has come a serious lifestyle upgrade—like his Rs. 3.2 crore home in Fazilka, Punjab, which he often shows fans glimpses of on Instagram. Festive celebrations and family time On Lohri, Gill transformed his stone-framed entrance into a cozy festival scene, complete with a bonfire glowing in front of the tall wood and metal doors. The two-to-three-storey layout provided ample space for the yard celebrations. A separate Father's Day upload shows him grinning beside his dad in the lush yard, shed in the background—captioned 'Grateful everyday, especially today. Happy Father's Day Dad❤️.' Together, these posts reveal a home designed for shared traditions. Gym buddies and home workouts In his personal gym, Gill welcomed six visiting dogs for an impromptu workout session. 'Gym buddies for today,' he quipped—proof that even cricket stars can share space with furry friends. The post peels back the curtain on his fitness regime, showing a room equipped for both serious training and playful interruptions. Sleek interiors and open views A serene living room shot captures the house's high ceilings and neutral tones. Outside the living room's large windowpanes, Gill poses in a stylish black Amiri jacket. A hint of the backyard can be seen in the second image. The house's clean lines and ample sunlight quietly reinforce his message to 'trust your vision only if you can see it and embrace the process.'

Fight heats up! Hasin Jahan breaks silence on Mohammed Shami's alimony: 'This amount is nothing'
Mohammed Shami and Hasin Jahan NEW DELHI: Cricketer Mohammed Shami 's estranged wife, Hasin Jahan , has described the Calcutta High Court's direction asking the Indian pacer to pay Rs 4 lakh per month in alimony as a 'victory' following a 'long battle'. The court has ordered Shami to provide monthly maintenance of Rs 4 lakh to Jahan and their daughter — with Rs 1.50 lakh allocated to Jahan and Rs 2.50 lakh for their daughter. Jahan, a former model, married Mohammed Shami in 2014, and the couple had a daughter the following year. In 2018, Jahan accused Shami of domestic violence, leading to their separation. Since then, the two have been engaged in a legal battle over divorce and alimony. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "I am thankful to God that I finally got victory after fighting such a long battle... Now I will be able to give my daughter a good education and maintain her life easily... If you see the life Shami leads, the status he maintains, his earnings, this amount is nothing in comparison to that... We had demanded Rs 10 lakhs from the court around seven years ago. Since then, Shami's income and inflation have both increased," Jahan said. "The status with which he leads his life, my daughter and I also have the right to maintain the same status," she added. Her lawyer, Imtiaz Ahmed, confirmed on Wednesday that Shami will be required to pay Rs 4 lakh per month in maintenance. He also indicated that the amount might be increased. "From 2018 to 2024, she had been running from pillar to post. Ultimately, it was pronounced in open court yesterday that Rs 1.5 lakh would be provided for Hasin Jahan, Rs 2.5 lakh for the daughter (both to be paid monthly), and that any time the daughter requires assistance, it would be provided by Mohammed Shami," he said. IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Shubman Gill's statement ton, Jaiswal misses out & Karun Nair at No.3? "The High Court has directed the trial court to dispose of the main application of the interim order within six months. There is a high chance that when they return to the trial court to conclude the hearing on maintenance, it might be upgraded to Rs 6 lakh because the claim of Hasin Jahan in her maintenance application was for Rs 7 lakh and Rs 3 lakh," Ahmed added. Back in 2018, Hasin Jahan had filed a petition in the Alipore court accusing Shami and his family of domestic abuse and harassment. She had initially demanded Rs 7 lakh per month from the pacer to maintain the family. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here .
