Wimbledon 2025, Day 7: Taylor Fritz advances to quarterfinals; Aryna Sabalenka, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova also through
Taylor Fritz moved into the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the third time in four years on Sunday, though not in the fashion he would have preferred. The No. 5 seed advanced after Australian Jordan Thompson was forced to retire due to injury, trailing 6-1, 3-0 after just 41 minutes of play.
Thompson, who entered the match carrying back and leg issues, took a medical timeout early in the second set but was unable to continue after a brief attempt to play through the pain.
'Just played a lot of tennis on a body that shouldn't have been, and it just took its toll,' the unseeded Australian said after the match.
Fritz, who had battled through multiple five-setters earlier in the tournament, acknowledged the unfortunate circumstances: 'It's obviously not the way I want to go through.
It's just sad... Respect to him for coming out. His body's not right.'
The American will next face No. 17 seed Karen Khachanov, who defeated Poland's Kamil Majchrzak 6-4, 6-2, 6-3.
While Khachanov holds a 2-0 record over Fritz, their last meeting was back in 2020.
'We practice all the time, so we're pretty familiar with each other's games,' Fritz said. 'But I think I've improved a ton since then.'
In a five-set thriller, Cam Norrie got the better of Nicolas Jarry.

In the women's draw, top seed Aryna Sabalenka booked her 11th straight Grand Slam quarterfinal, beating No. 24 Elise Mertens 6-4, 7-6(4).
She'll face veteran Laura Siegemund, who followed her win over Madison Keys by defeating lucky loser Solana Sierra 6-3, 6-2. The 37-year-old drew cheers from the crowd when her age was mentioned, joking, 'It's not that often you get such a compliment for being old.'
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova also returned to the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time in nine years, beating Britain's Sonay Kartal 7-6(3), 6-4 despite a controversial missed call after a system outage.

History at Edgbaston! Shubman Gill breaks Sunil Gavaskar's 49-year-old record, becomes youngest Indian captain to win overseas Test
India captain Shubman Gill (Pic credit: Gill's X post) NEW DELHI: Shubman Gill etched his name into Indian cricketing history on Sunday, becoming the youngest Indian captain to win a Test match overseas, leading his team to a record-breaking 336-run win against England in the second Test at Edgbaston. At 25 years and 301 days, Gill surpassed Sunil Gavaskar's long-standing record set in 1976 in Auckland. Gavaskar was 26 years and 202 days old when his side beat New Zealand almost half a century ago. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The win - India's first-ever at Edgbaston and biggest overseas victory in terms of runs - saw them level the five-match series 1-1. It surpassed the previous away record set in 2019, when India defeated West Indies by 318 runs at North Sound. Poll Do you think Shubman Gill's captaincy marks a new era in Indian Test cricket? Yes, absolutely No, it's too early to tell Gill's performance with the bat was nothing short of historic. He became the first batter in Test history to score 250 and 150 in the same match, compiling majestic innings of 269 and 161. This came on the back of his 147 in the first Test at Headingley, where India lost despite his century. With 585 runs at an average of 146.25 in just two Tests, Gill is now chasing Don Bradman's legendary record of 974 runs in a series - a mark that has stood for 90 years. Yashasvi Jaiswal on Team Culture & Supportive Dressing Room | IND vs ENG 2nd Test Speaking after the win, a composed yet proud Gill said, 'Especially when you are the captain, I think you need to lead by example... so whenever there is another player in that situation, you can tell that player, this is what the team requires right now.' He added, 'If a good ball gets me out, it gets me out. But as long as I am there, I want to play as long as possible.' Pace duo Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep played key roles in England's collapse, while Gill's leadership - under the added weight of succeeding Rohit Sharma and filling Virat Kohli's No. 4 slot - signaled a new era in Indian Test cricket. The third Test begins July 10 at Lord's, where Gill's India will now look to turn the tide further in their favour.

Toronto Maple Leafs face mounting pressure to replace Mitch Marner after free agency failures
The Toronto Maple Leafs are under pressure to find a top-six replacement (Getty Images) The Toronto Maple Leafs are officially on the clock. After trading away star winger Mitch Marner in a blockbuster sign-and-trade with the Vegas Golden Knights, the Leafs are scrambling to fill the massive void left by his departure—and time is quickly running out. Insider warns Leafs can't afford to wait while the trade market heats up T oronto entered free agency eyeing top-six replacements but came up short on several key targets. Both Nikolaj Ehlers and Brock Boeser—widely viewed as ideal candidates to slot alongside Auston Matthews—opted to sign elsewhere, despite Toronto's competitive offers. Ehlers landed with the Hurricanes on a six-year, $51 million deal, while Boeser stayed loyal to Vancouver, rejecting more money from the Leafs. TSN's Mike DiStefano didn't sugarcoat the urgency surrounding the situation. 'Obviously, that's a big hole, right, for the Maple Leafs, and they've got to fill that Mitch Marner hole,' DiStefano said on OverDrive. He acknowledged that while Matias Maccelli—one of Toronto's recent additions—has potential, 'That's not gonna replace 100 points. That's not gonna replace your top penalty killer, the guy who controls your power play. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo ' With few high-end wingers remaining on the open market, DiStefano believes General Manager Brad Treliving must now shift focus to the trade market. 'I'm curious to see what Brad Treliving has up his sleeve to make that placement,' he added. So far, the return for Marner—center Nicolas Roy—is underwhelming when measured against the superstar's production. Roy notched 31 points last season and is unlikely to provide the scoring punch Toronto urgently needs. Meanwhile, the team still has $4.9 million in cap space, but that figure may not be enough to land the kind of impact player they need without making further roster moves.

NHL Trade Rumors: Devils are considering trading Dougie Hamilton in bold offseason shake-up
The New Jersey Devils are reportedly considering trading star defenseman Dougie Hamilton (Image via AP) After a frustrating season plagued by injuries and a disappointing playoff exit, the New Jersey Devils appear ready to make bold moves to reshape their roster. According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, one of those potential moves includes trading star defenseman Dougie Hamilton, a surprising development that signals the franchise's urgency to build a true Stanley Cup contender. Devils looking to move on from Dougie Hamilton's hefty contract and declining production Dougie Hamilton, who still has three years left on his contract at $9 million per season, is reportedly being dangled in trade discussions with multiple teams. While the 31-year-old blueliner remains one of the most recognizable names on the Devils' roster, his impact on the ice has noticeably dipped. Last season, he tallied nine goals and 31 assists in 64 games—solid, but far from his previous elite production levels. The Devils' front office, recognizing that their current core might not be enough to push them over the hump, is weighing options that would free up cap space and bring in fresh assets. Trading Hamilton could do both. His offensive upside and veteran leadership would still hold appeal for contending teams seeking a boost on the back end, especially if they believe he can thrive in a different system. A calculated risk that could reshape New Jersey's future While moving Hamilton would be a bold step, it's not one without precedent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เปรียบเทียบสเปรด: ระหว่าง Bitcoin และ Ethereum CFDs IC Markets อ่านเพิ่มเติม Undo Teams across the league are increasingly willing to part with big names in favor of flexibility and long-term planning. The Devils have a strong young foundation, but they're clearly not content with early playoff exits. Friedman's report underscores a growing belief within the NHL community that New Jersey is in the middle of a strategic pivot—prioritizing future success over sentimentality.

However, the message is clear: no player is untouchable in the Devils' pursuit of a championship. Whether the star defenseman is moved or retained, New Jersey fans should brace for a busy and potentially transformative offseason.
