India's Day 2 at the Nets in Edgbaston
Kate Cassidy Hits Back At Trolls; Stands By Love Island's Vanna Einerson
Kate Cassidy, the girlfriend of late pop star Liam Payne, took to TikTok to defend Love Island USA contestant Vanna Einerson, who's been brutally targeted online over her appearance. Though Kate admitted she doesn't even watch the show, she was shocked by the level of cruelty aimed at 21-year-old Vanna. Calling her 'beautiful and young,' Cassidy slammed trolls as 'insane and mean.' Opening up about her own experience with internet hate, Kate recalled being mocked for looking 'like a mom' or '45 at 25.' Her message was clear and heartfelt: the internet can be vicious, and it's time we all learn to just be kind.

‘It was very weird': Coco Gauff drops brutally honest statement on Aryna Sabalenka feud
Wimbledon 2025 is set to begin on June 30, and all eyes will be on Coco Gauff, who recently defeated Aryna Sabalenka to clinch the 2025 French Open women's singles title in Paris. It was the 21-year-old's second Grand Slam title, having won 2023 US Open earlier. Coco Gauff had a brutally honest answer to Aryna Sabalenka's remarks.(AFP) After her French Open final win, she fell victim to some remarks from Sabalenka in the post-match press conference. Gauff was also asked about it, and she simply stated that she didn't agree with it. Since then, the pair have met and the World No. 1 also apologised to her recently in a public video. The pair also teamed up in a viral TikTok dance video, which has been promoted by Wimbledon. Speaking on the incident, Gauff said in a pre-tournament Wimbledon press conference, 'It was very weird. I'm transparent. At first it was a little tempting just because the apology did come a little bit later. I thought it was going to come pretty quick. There's obviously temptation. I wouldn't be lying, but I don't know, I just want us to be kumbaya, live happily, hakuna matata, and be happy here.' 'I didn't want to fuel more hate. I'm not the person that will fuel hate in the world. I think people were taking it too far It wasn't even more holding someone accountable. It was just really like targeting and saying a lot of things that I felt like were not nice. I didn't want to fuel that more,' he added. Gauff is the current World No. 1, and won ten career singles titles, including two majors. She also reigned supreme at the 2024 WTA Finals. She has also won nine doubles title, including the 2024 French Open women's doubles. She will be opening her campaign against Dayana Yastremska in the fisrt round.

Coco Gauff says criticism of Aryna Sabalenka's French Open comments went 'too far'
LONDON: It didn't take long for Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka to patch up their relationship after this month's French Open final. Now as Wimbledon is about to start, Gauff is hoping everyone else can also forget what the top-ranked Sabalenka said in the wake of her loss to the American at Roland-Garros. A day after dancing together on Wimbledon's Centre Court in a TikTok video, the two tennis players faced more questions on Saturday about the aftermath of Sabalenka's comments right after the final, when she said her loss had more to do with her own mistakes than Gauff's performance. The Belarusian later wrote to apologize to Gauff and said her comments were "unprofessional," but not before she faced some major backlash from fans and pundits — especially in the United States. Gauff is trying to make sure the criticism stops. "I'm not the person that will fuel hate in the world," said Gauff, who opens her Wimbledon campaign against Dayana Yastremska on Tuesday. "I think people were taking it too far. … It was just really targeting and saying a lot of things that I felt were not nice. I didn't want to fuel that more." Sabalenka, who faces Carson Branstine on No. 1 Court on Monday, said she hopes the TikTok video shows that all is well between the two.

Love Island USA Season 7 episode 25 release date and time: New connections to face real test after Casa Amor shake up
Love Island USA Season 7 episode 25 release date and time : The villa is still reeling from the fallout of Casa Amor , and fans aren't done talking. With emotions at an all-time high, new couples barely finding their rhythm, and a surprise Aftersun appearance that's caused full-blown outrage, Love Island USA season 7 is heading into its most dramatic stretch yet. Episode 25 arrives tonight, and there's a lot to unpack before it hits screens. Love Island USA Season 7: Casa Amor leaves the villa cracked Casa Amor this year was brutal, as it cracked the foundation of several couples completely. Four bombshells were dumped immediately after the twist: CoCo, JD, Vanna, and Zac. While their exits didn't surprise everyone, CoCo's elimination in particular left viewers furious. View this post on Instagram Before Casa Amor, the main couples in the villa were Cierra and Nic, Olandria and Taylor, Chelley and Ace, and Amaya and Austin. Meanwhile, Huda, Iris, Andreina, Pepe, and TJ were all single. But once Casa Amor ended, everything shifted. Cierra and Nic remained loyal to each other, while Taylor returned with a new partner, Clarke, leaving Olandria single. Chelley came back and recoupled with Ace, even though they were already paired before—raising eyebrows over whether their connection deepened or reset during the twist. Amaya split from Austin and chose to pair with newcomer Zak, while Austin returned with new girl Jaden. Huda coupled up with Casa Amor boy Chris, Pepe chose Gracyn, and Andreina connected with Bryan. Iris and TJ, who had both entered Casa Amor single, decided to pair up post-recoupling. Left out were Olandria and Elan, both of whom found themselves single after the dust settled. View this post on Instagram Bombshells came in hot but didn't last Eleven new islanders arrived during the Casa Amor twist, and yet most were gone just days later. The fast turnover left little time for any real bonds to form. Some of them barely got a full conversation on screen before they were packing. Viewers have been vocal about how the editing and pacing stripped the twist of its usual power, turning it into a numbers game instead of a meaningful shake-up. Even those who stayed are already struggling to find their place. Chelley, now coupled with Ace, is under scrutiny from nearly every corner of the villa. Tension is rising between original girls and new arrivals, and the balance of power has shifted in ways no one expected. The original connections are fragile. The new ones are even more unstable. Love Island Aftersun segment triggers backlash While the villa drama kept fans locked in, the June 28 episode of Aftersun pushed things over the edge. Amy Schumer appeared as a guest on the recap show, and her support for Ace and Chelley felt wildly out of touch. Viewers immediately called it out. The comment sections were filled with frustration, and fan forums exploded with criticism over what many called 'a tone-deaf segment'. Even Ariana Madix, who's usually calm and quick-witted, seemed visibly uncomfortable during certain moments. Amy's jokes didn't land, and her takes felt disconnected from what fans were actually feeling. Right after one of the most controversial recouplings of the season, the show doubled down on the couple fans are most upset with. When and where to watch Love Island USA season 7 episode 25 Love Island USA season 7 episode 25 premieres tonight, Sunday, June 29, on Peacock. It will be available to stream at 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT. It's the first full episode following the Casa Amor recoupling, and with fan outrage spilling beyond the show, there's more pressure than ever for this one to deliver. Whether it brings resolution or just more chaos, episode 25 is going to be the one everyone's talking about tomorrow.
