Wimbledon: No. 1 Jannik Sinner has a medical timeout for a painful elbow after a fall
The No. 1-ranked Sinner was given a pill to take and received a massage at a changeover while down 3-2 in the second set at Centre Court. Sinner hadn't dropped a set in the tournament until Monday's opener, which No. 19 seed Dimitrov took 6-3.
Sinner was hurt when he slipped and fell behind a baseline, bracing his fall with his right hand while still holding his racket.
As the trainer rubbed the elbow, Sinner winced. His coaches, Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi, looked on from their box with concern.
Sinner entered Monday having lost a total of just 17 games in the tournament, tying the record for the fewest in the Open era by man at Wimbledon through three completed matches.

Eugenie Bouchard to retire from tennis at Canadian Open in Montreal
Eugenie Bouchard, the 2014 Wimbledon finalist and former world No. 5, will retire from tennis at the WTA 1,000 Canadian Open in Montreal, which begins later this month. Bouchard, 31, who was born in Montreal, announced her final professional event in a post on X Wednesday. ' You'll know when it's time. For me, it's now. Ending where it all started: Montreal,' she wrote. Advertisement Tennis Canada confirmed that Bouchard would receive a main-draw wild card for the event, which is one rung below the Grand Slams. Bouchard will play her first-round match either Sun. June 27 or Mon. June 28. Bouchard, who is currently unranked, has played two WTA Tour main draw matches in the past two years: at the 2023 Guadalajara Open, where she received a wild card. She entered the Hall of Fame Open in Newport, R.I., the past week, but lost in the opening round to world No. 286 Anna Rogers of the U.S. Bouchard also received a qualifying wild card to last year's Canadian Open, but lost in the first of two matches she would have had to win to get into the main draw. That year the women's event was held in Toronto; the men's and women's events alternate between the two cities year by year. 2014 was Bouchard's breakout year. While she lost that Wimbledon final to Petra Kvitová 6-3, 6-0, she also reached the semifinals of the Australian and French Opens, propelling herself into the WTA top 10. She won her first and only WTA Tour singles title that year, beating Karolína Plíšková to win the now-defunct Nuremberg Cup, a clay-court warm up for the French Open, as well as defeating Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep en route to the Wimbledon final. She also reached the final of the inaugural Wuhan Open in China, where she again lost to Kvitová. Her form dipped the following year, but she made the fourth round of the U.S. Open. Ahead of her match against Roberta Vinci, she slipped on cleaning fluid in a trainer's room and suffered a concussion. Bouchard sued the U.S. Tennis Association (USTA) for damages; the two parties reached a confidential settlement in 2018. By 2017, Bouchard was, if jokingly, very much aware of the pressure of having been Canada's leading women's player alone for so long. At that year's Canadian Open, in which 2019 U.S. Open champion and compatriot, Bianca Andreescu, made her debut as a wild card at 17, Bouchard said that she could be 'someone else' to 'carry the burden of Canada.' Advertisement 'I'm relatively young, but I feel old in a way,' Bouchard said at a news conference during the event. 'I've been on tour a bunch of years already. I think it's important to feel the pressure of time a little bit to get into action and not just sit back and relax and let years go by.' Despite reaching two WTA tournament finals in 2020 and 2021, a combination of injuries and loss of form, including 17 months out due to shoulder surgery in 2021 and 2022, saw Bouchard fall down the rankings. In 2023, she won two doubles matches as Canada won the Billie Jean King Cup for the first time. As her tennis appearances have become more sporadic, Bouchard has turned to pickleball, competing alongside 2003 U.S. Open champion Andy Roddick against eight-time major champion Andre Agassi and 22-time major champion Steffi Graf in the 'Pickleball Slam' earlier this year.

Arsenal Women set to sign Liverpool striker Olivia Smith in world-record deal
Liverpool striker Olivia Smith is set to join Arsenal in a world-record £1million deal. All agreements are in place with the deal set to be announced imminently. The 20-year-old was Liverpool Women's top scorer last season with seven goals after joining from Sporting Lisbon in July 2024 for a club record fee of €250,000 (£212,000). Advertisement Arsenal's bid of £1m ($1.36m) exceeds the previous record fee set by Chelsea when they signed USWNT defender Naomi Girma from the San Diego Wave for $1.1m in January. Liverpool had finished fourth in the Women's Super League (WSL) and Matt Beard had been named manager of the year when she signed. They could not replicate this success last season as the side finished seventh and Beard was sacked in February. 'Even back then (when I was a child), I swear, I wanted to win a Ballon d'Or one day,' she said to The Athletic in November 2024 . 'I wanted to play in a World Cup, in an Olympics, to play for my national team. 'I could see myself meeting my idols and playing against them.' Her longstanding ambition complements her move to Arsenal, who claimed their second Champions League title last season with victories over eight-time champions OL Lyonnes in the semi-final and 1-0 win over Barcelona in the Lisbon final. Arsenal finished second in the WSL last season behind unbeaten Chelsea, and have been active in the transfer window this summer, making Chloe Kelly's loan deal permanent from Manchester City, while Smith's Liverpool teammate Taylor Hinds also joined Renee Slegers' side following the expiration of her contract in Merseyside. In 2019 Smith became the youngest ever player to play for Canada, at 15 years old and 94 days, in a 4-0 loss to Brazil. She has made 16 appearances for the nation's senior team, scoring three and assisting three, and was named Canada Soccer's Young Player of the Year in 2024.

2025 British Open purse, payouts: How much is up for grabs this week at Royal Portrush?
The final major championship of the year is here, and the R&A is sticking with last year's prize pool to go with the iconic Claret Jug. The British Open will offer a $17 million purse this season at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, which matches the record-setting purse offered last year. While that's the highest in the event's history, it's the lowest among the four major championships. The U.S. Open, by comparison, offered a $21.5 million purse last month to lead the majors. The Masters had a $21 million purse, too, and the PGA Tour's signature events typically carry purses of at least $20 million. The PGA Championship wasn't far behind with its $19 million purse. As they didn't increase the prize pool — which is something R&A CEO Mark Darbon is proud about — the winner this week will earn a $3.1 million check. 'We have held flat this year. I think prize fund is still 60% up on when we were here last time in 2019. That's strong growth by anyone's standards,' Darbon said on Wednesday. 'We think the choice we've made is really appropriate.' Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler is once again the overwhelming favorite this week at the British Open. Rory McIlroy is back home in Northern Ireland, too, ready to avenge his awful showing the last time when the tournament was played at Royal Portrush. Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau are also among the favorites this week on BetMGM, as is last year's winner Xander Schauffele. Here's a look at how much is up for grabs this week at Royal Portrush. 2025 British Open payouts 1. $3.1 million2. $1.759 million3. $1.128 million4. $876,0005. $705,0006. $611,0007. $525,0008. $442,5009. $388,00010. $350,60011. $319,20012. $282,80013. $266,00014. $249,00015. $231,00016. $212,70017. $202,40018. $193,00019. $184,90020. $176,20021. $168,00022. $159,60023. $151,00024. $142,60025. $137,80026. $131,80027. $127,00028. $122,60029. $117,30030. $111,20031. $107,60032. $102,10033. $98,50034. $95,70035. $92,40036. $88,70037. $84,60038. $80,30039. $77,40040. $74,90041. $71,80042. $68,30043. $65,20044. $61,50045. $58,00046. $55,00047. $52,80048. $50,70049. $48,40050. $47,20051. $46,20052. $45,40053. $44,70054. $44,00055. $43,30056. $42,70057. $42,30058. $42,00059. $41,70060. $41,40061. $41,20062. $41,00063. $40,80064. $40,60065. $40,30066. $40,00067. $39,70068. $39,40069. $39,10070. $38,900 Additional prize money will be added if more than 70 professionals make the cut.
