ESPN Made History On Day 1 Of Wimbledon Tournament
ESPN Made History On Day 1 Of Wimbledon Tournament originally appeared on The Spun. ESPN's investment in tennis appears to have paid off in a big way for the Worldwide Leader. This year's Wimbledon tournament, which started on Monday, reportedly drew a record audience for the Disney-owned company; setting an all-time viewership record for Day 1 of the Grand Slam event. Advertisement According to the network's PR team, an average of 539,000 people tuned in for the championships' first day, up 37% from last year's Day 1 crowd of 393,000 watchers. That is the best ratings number ESPN has had in its 22 years of Wimbledon coverage. Where those numbers go from here is anyone's guess though, as this year's tournament saw early exits for some of tennis' biggest stars including Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula. Coco has been one of the sport's biggest draws since her professional debut at the age of 14 and she was as disappointed as anybody by the stunning first-round loss. "Dayana [Yastremska] started off playing strong. I couldn't find my footing out there today," Gauff said after the match, before admitting that the quick turnaround from Roland Garros likely got to her. Advertisement "I feel like mentally I was a little bit overwhelmed with everything that came afterwards. So I didn't feel like I had enough time to celebrate and also get back into it." LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 30: Carson Branstine of Canada reacts in her match against Aryna Sabalenka during the first round on Day One of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on June 30, 2025 in London, England (Photo by)The men's side still has marquee names like Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz that should surely draw fans' attention— even with Wimbledon taking place during the daytime hours of the work week. With that said Monday was still a great number for ESPN and they'll attempt to build off that momentum as the rest of the championships continue.

Davis Bryant shoots 63 containing a hole-in-one to lead BMW International Open
MUNICH -- Davis Bryant, an American ranked 576th in the world, made a hole-in-one and nine birdies on the way to shooting 9-under 63 for a two-shot lead after the second round of the BMW International Open on Friday. Bryant aced his third hole of the day — No. 12 — with a shot from 165 yards, and also rolled in putts from 30 feet and 20 feet at Golfclub München Eichenried. Bryant, who was 12 under par at the halfway point as he chases his first pro title, is playing his first season on the European tour after coming through Q-School. He tied for 10th place at the Italian Open last week. Kristoffer Reitan of Norway was alone in second place after shooting 65 and there was a three-way tie for third place between Jordan Smith (67), Yuto Katsuragawa (67) and Daniel Brown (65), who were a shot further back on 9 under.
