Wimbledon 2025: Alcaraz's Performance So Far
Round 1:
Defeated
Fabio Fognini
7-5, 6-7 (5-7), 7-5, 2-6, 6-1
Round 2:
Defeated
Oliver Tarvet
6-1, 6-4, 6-4
Alcaraz opened his campaign with a testing five-set duel against Italy's Fabio Fognini, a former top-10 player. The Spaniard was forced to dig deep before emerging victorious in the final set.
In the second round, he found his rhythm against qualifier Oliver Tarvet, dispatching the challenger in straight sets. The clinical performance gave a glimpse of the dominance that saw him win Wimbledon titles in 2023 and 2024, including victories over 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, as per a report by USA Today.
Strong Contender Despite Second Seeding
Despite his recent win over Jannik Sinner in the French Open final, Alcaraz was seeded second at Wimbledon 2025. However, his proven capability on grass courts and prior success at SW19 place him among the leading favourites to lift the trophy once again.
With a playing style that blends explosive movement, powerful groundstrokes, and a surprisingly deft touch at the net, Carlos Alcaraz continues to draw comparisons to the sport's all-time greats. His youthful energy, tactical maturity, and championship experience position him well as the tournament enters its second week.

Aryna Sabalenka Outlasts Emma Raducanu To Enter Wimbledon Last 16
After knocking out local favourite Emma Raducanu, Aryna Sabalenka is now a red-hot favourite to win Wimbledon 2025. Aryna Sabalenka overcame a tough challenge from Emma Raducanu and a partisan Centre Court crowd to stay in the running for her first Wimbledon title on Friday. In an exhilarating match under the Centre Court roof, the world number one defeated the former US Open champion 7-6 (8/6), 6-4 in two hours, advancing to the fourth round. Sabalenka found an extra level when needed as the British player's form dipped slightly, avoiding the fate of many other top players at this year's championships. Though it is only day five of Wimbledon, just four of the top 10 women's seeds remain, with half of the men's top 10 also eliminated. 'I had to fight for every point like crazy," said Sabalenka, who has never gone beyond the semi-finals at the All England Club. 'I'm super happy with the win, of course. I'm super happy to see her healthy and back on track. I'm pretty sure that she will be back in the top 10 soon." A Challenging Atmosphere For Sabalenka The 27-year-old Belarusian commented on the challenging crowd atmosphere. 'What an atmosphere," she said. 'My ears are still hurting, honestly. It was super loud. Every time you were cheering her, I was trying to tell myself to just pretend that you were cheering for me. I had goosebumps." Raducanu, ranked 40th in the world, quickly showed she was not intimidated by her powerful opponent. Matching the three-time Grand Slam champion blow for blow, she secured the first break in the fifth game when a blistering drive forced Sabalenka to net a backhand. Raducanu clenched her fist in delight as the crowd's roar echoed under the closed roof. Despite trailing 4-2, Sabalenka quickly drew level in the eighth game. Although Sabalenka aimed to finish strong, Raducanu saved seven set points in a marathon 10th game, then broke in the next game, only for Sabalenka to immediately break back. A rollercoaster tie-break ultimately went Sabalenka's way as she saved a set point and secured a deft volley to take the lead. The 22-year-old British player regained the initiative by breaking in the fourth game of the second set and holding her serve amidst wild cheers from the captivated crowd. Sabalenka, her grunts amplified under the roof, saved a break point in the sixth game to stay alive in the second set. However, Raducanu missed her chances in the following game, going long with a forehand and losing her serve. Sabalenka then stepped up a gear, hitting a backhand down the line followed by an ace to level the score at 4-4. A couple of errors in the subsequent game gave Raducanu a tough challenge, resulting in her being broken again. Sabalenka's double fault offered Raducanu hope, but the British player netted to ignite celebrations from the top seed, who is now a strong favourite to win the tournament.

'They bring the best out of me' - Tadej Pogacar on rivalry with Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel ahead of Tour de France
Tadej Pogacar (Image source: Tadej Pogacar enters the Tour de France - the oldest and most prestigious multi-stage bicycle race - as a clear favourite. Recent form of having won the Critérium du Dauphiné boosted his credentials. He is a three-time Tour de France winner and the defending champion of the 21 stage race that gets underway on July 5. Pogacar has 99 professional wins going into the race in France, so will almost certainly hit his century mark during the over 3,300km race. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 26-year-old Slovenian Pogacar won six stages in the last year's edition and ran away with the overall victory. There are considerable arguments to say the Team UAE rider is even stronger in 2025. Poll Who do you think will be Tadej Pogacar's biggest rival in this year's Tour de France? Jonas Vingegaard Remco Evenepoel Other riders Pogacar will dominate without rivals "That's why the first week is perhaps the most important first week in years. It's an opportunity for Pogacar's rivals to put him on the back foot," race general director Christian Prudhomme said. Two of Pogcar's challengers are two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard of Visma, considered to be the Slovenian's greatest rivals, and Remco Evenepoel who represents team Soudal. "We'd like someone to give him a run for his money, Jonas Vingegaard or Remco Evenepoel or anybody else in fact," said Prudhomme. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "We are hoping for suspense and we'd be delighted with an all out scrap."

Tadej Pogacar (Image source: spoke to Tadej Pogacar on his early days, what makes TdF special and the technicalities of the sport that go unnoticed. Excerpts: You've won the Tour de France thrice at such a young age — what initially got you into cycling, and what kept you going? I started cycling because my older brother rode, and I wanted to do what he was doing. I was just a kid riding around Slovenia, not thinking about the Tour de France. Over time, I fell in love with the sport. The freedom, the landscapes, the feeling of pushing your limits — that's what drew me in. Winning is great, of course, but the love for riding has always been the core. Whether it's a tough 5 hour training ride with my Team UAE Emirate teammates or an easy hour coffee ride with my fiancé Urska, I love every aspect of cycling. Cycling is known for its physical demands, but how much of it is mental? How do you prepare your mind for a three-week race like the Tour de France? It's very mental. The body has limits, but the mind often hits them before the legs do. I try to stay relaxed — I don't overthink too much. The key is to have a good ambiance with your teammates, joke around, listen to music. If your head is in a good place, you suffer better. It is still hard though, there is no escaping that part! For someone new to cycling, what makes a race like the Giro d'Italia or the Tour de France so special compared to other sports events? For a lot of people outside of cycling the Tour de France is the main race they know, but if you scratch the surface a bit you have some other races which are just as tough and as beautiful. The Giro and the Vuelta for example, or the one-day monument races. The Grand Tours though are extra special - it's a mix of tradition, chaos, and beauty. You're racing through history, through the Alps, past castles, fans who have been there camping and waiting for days all screaming with flags and horns. And it's not just one day — it's three weeks of drama. Anything can happen. They are some of the most beautiful events you'll see in sport. Tadej Pogacar (Image source: How do you approach climbing stages differently from time trials or flat stages? Could you walk us through what's going through your head on a mountain finish? In the climbing stages, it's more instinct. You're listening to your legs, the gradient, the wind. Flat stages are more about staying safe and not getting caught out with splits. In both scenarios it's important your teammates are there to work together and stay out of trouble. Time trials — they're more precise and you are following a pacing strategy with certain watts etc. It's a lot more controlled. Nutrition and recovery seem critical in cycling — what does a typical day of eating and recovery look like for you during a Grand Tour? In a stage race like the Tour de France nutrition and recovery is huge and is probably the biggest advance in cycling in the past five years I would say. In the past nutrition was not taken as seriously - you only ate when you were hungry, tried to save calories and just guessed a bit based on how you were feeling. Since I joined UAE they have hired two nutritionists and a team of chefs who are constantly monitoring the quantity and quality of food that we consume. It's way more scientific than even 5 years ago. We burn a lot of calories so we eat a lot. Our nutrition sponsor Enervit also work hard to make easily digestible bars and gels so we can take on as much energy as we can on the bike. Tadej Pogacar (Image source: You've had some legendary battles with riders like Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel — what makes those rivalries push you to be better? They're both great rivals. For the fans I think this is a nice time for watching racing, there are many great champions and the racing is exciting to watch. Racing them pushes me because I know if I'm not at my best then they will make it very difficult. They bring the best out of me — and I hope I do the same for them. It's what sport should be. With cycling becoming increasingly team-oriented, how do you balance individual ambition with teamwork? You don't win a Grand Tour alone, that's for sure. Even if you cross the line first, it's the team behind you — they control the race, they pull, they protect. I have ambition, of course, but my teammates are my friends, and I want us all to succeed. When they believe in me, I ride harder for them. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Tracy McGrady stands by belief he'd win with Shaquille O'Neal, regrets using the word 'replace' for Kobe
Tracy McGrady at the 40/40 Club popup inside Fanatics Fest NYC held at Jacob Javits Convention Center (Image source via Getty Images) Tracy McGrady stirred the pot with a bold 'what-if' about teaming up with Shaquille O'Neal—and now he's walking it back, just a little. After claiming he could've won titles with Shaq in Kobe Bryant's place, McGrady faced backlash for what many saw as a diss. But T-Mac insists it wasn't disrespect—it was about missed opportunity and misunderstood phrasing, not knocking his 'brother' Kobe. McGrady doubles down on Shaquille O'Neal 'what-if' but apologizes to Kobe Bryant On June 20, during his First Take appearance, Tracy McGrady confidently declared — 'Replace me with Kobe with Shaq, I don't win a championship? You don't think I can carry the Lakers to a championship? I've never had the opportunity.' Naturally, there was some backlash. A lot of listeners took the comment as a direct jab at Kobe Bryant—something McGrady never meant to imply. During a follow-up interview with Timeless Sports, the Hall of Famer admitted he regretted the way he expressed himself. He reflected on his phrasing and felt it could have been better. — 'I never should have said 'replace.' … people know Kobe's my brother. There's no way in hell I would ever disrespect my brother like that.' Tracy McGrady on Kobe and Shaq Comment, LeBron James Matchup, Ring Culture and More | FULL INTERVIEW Even though he backed off from the controversial phrasing, McGrady is still firm on his stance: his playoff-ready offense, combined with Shaq's raw power, would have made them contenders for the championship during the 2000–2008 dynasty period. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo McGrady highlighted the context of his hypothetical remark, focusing on the intersection of two powerful dynasties. From 2000 to 2002, Shaquille O'Neal recorded Finals averages of 38 points and 16 rebounds, guiding the Los Angeles Lakers to a three-peat. During that same period, McGrady was scoring 30 PPG as a 21-year-old sensation for the Orlando Magic. He clearly pointed out: 'Shaq, Kobe, Tim Duncan were the only ones winning championships' during that era. He didn't mean to compare entire careers. Instead, he pointed out a specific timeframe: combine T-Mac's prime with Shaq's peak during the Finals, and you've got a top-notch title contender. McGrady's clarification was more than just semantics—he highlighted his great respect for Kobe Bryant. He reiterated — 'I never said I was better than Kobe. Never.' Also Read: 'You saw that championship coming' — Aries Spears calls Oklahoma City Thunder's win over Pacers predictable In the EssentiallySports write‑up, he blasted clickbait and 'ring culture' narratives, highlighting that media distortions frequently warp athlete intentions into confrontations. He argued the timing wasn't accidental—he was framing a strategic 'what‑if' scenario, not declaring superiority. With both Kobe and Shaq carved into NBA folklore, McGrady wanted to contextualize his own career trajectory—situations matter just as much as skill.
