Rybakina outlasts Yastremska to reach WTA Montreal quarter-finals
Former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina beat Dayana Yastremska 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 on Saturday to book a quarter-final clash with Marta Kostyuk at the WTA Canadian Open in Montreal. Kazakhstan's Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion who won her first title in more than a year at Strasbourg in May, was slowed by nine double faults. But she ultimately had enough to get past Ukraine's Yastremska -- who was coming off a straight-sets victory over eighth-seeded American Emma Navarro. Yastremska fell behind an early break in the first set, but took advantage of Rybakina's early serving woes to break back, and broke again to take the opening set in a game that Rybakina had led 40-0. Rybakina, seeded ninth, bore down after that, breaking Yastremska twice to take the second set. Another untimely double fault cost her a break in the third, but she broke Yastremska for the second time in the set to take a 6-5 lead and held on to seal it on her fourth match point with a high backhand volley winner. She'll face another Ukrainian in Kostyuk, who came from behind to beat American McCartney Kessler 5-7, 6-3, 6-3. Kostyuk reached the quarter-finals of WTA-1000 events at Qatar and Madrid this year, but she arrived in Montreal having not won a match since reaching the fourth round in Rome. "I hadn't won a match in three months before this tournament -- I didn't have a lot of confidence coming into it," she admitted, thanking her team for "sticking with me". Top-seeded American Coco Gauff headlined the night session, taking on 18-year-old Canadian wild card Victoria Mboko. Gauff, the reigning French Open champion, has been erratic in clawing her way into the fourth round with a pair of three-set victories and will be looking to step it up against the home hope, who has thrilled fans in her first main draw appearance in the event. Mboko is in the round of 16 in a 1000-level event for the first time. She took Gauff to three sets on the clay courts of Rome earlier this year and said she was "really excited" for another shot at the American. "She's the number one seed of this tournament," Mboko said. "I'm going to really expect a hard fight. It's always great to play such incredible athletes and incredible players like her." The winner of that match will play either China's Zhu Lin or Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, who are both seeking to reach the quarters of a 1000 level event for the first time. Zhu, once ranked as high as number 31 in the world, has dropped to 493rd after missing the last five months of 2024 and another three months earlier this year with an elbow injury. bb/js

Prince Andrew Called Meghan an ‘Opportunist' and Got Punched by Harry
Prince Andrew called Meghan Markle an 'opportunist' and also had a fist fight with Prince Harry that left Andrew with a bloody nose. Andrew Lownie's investigative biography of Prince Andrew, Entitled, is being serialized in the Daily Mail this weekend and has made headlines around the world with a claim that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein told friends that Andrew was 'more obsessed with p---y than me.' The book also makes other stunning claims about Andrew's sex life and cites a masseuse, Emma Gruenbaum, as saying Andrew was a 'sex pest' from the start. When he booked her for massages, he would insist on being naked and would talk about 'anal sex.' On one occasion, he said to her, 'Hey, nice a--e. Do you take it up the a--e?' Entitled also details Andrew's love of 'humiliating' others. His 'pranks' over the years have included pushing people's faces into plates of pâté and tricking people into squirting mustard into their own faces. On one occasion, he unzipped the back of TV presenter Tania Bryer's dress. Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson reportedly said, 'I'm the last person to be a republican but, f---, if I ever have to spend another lunch like that, I soon will be.' Prince Harry and Prince Andrew come to blows The fight with Prince Harry happened in 2013, Lownie says. Andrew allegedly made a remark behind Harry's back, and Harry called Andrew a 'coward' for not saying it to his face. 'Punches were thrown,' and Harry 'got the better' of his uncle, leaving him with a 'bloody nose.' Andrew also allegedly told Harry he was 'bonkers' for not properly researching Meghan Markle's background and told him the marriage would not last. Lownie writes in the Mail that Andrew 'openly accused Meghan of being an opportunist,' said she was 'too old' for Harry, and said that marrying her would be his 'biggest mistake ever.' A source tells Lownie, 'Harry later told William that he hated Andrew.' The Daily Beast earlier reported that Entitled cites Jeffrey Epstein as having told friends, 'We are both serial sex addicts. He's the only person I have met who is more obsessed with p---y than me.' Epstein also reportedly said of Andrew, 'From the reports I've got back from the women we've shared, he's the most perverted animal in the bedroom. He likes to engage in stuff that's even kinky to me—and I'm the king of kink!' One journalist told Lownie that when Andrew was in Thailand on the crown's behalf celebrating the King of Thailand's diamond jubilee in 2006, more than 40 women were brought to his hotel room in Bangkok, adding, 'Often, as soon as one left, another would arrive.' Journalist Ian Halperin told Lownie the prince has purportedly slept with over 1,000 women, including 'porn stars, actresses, models, athletes, politicians, and bartenders at clubs.' A friend of the prince's noted, 'Sex is his big thing in life. Traveling all over the world as the U.K. trade ambassador and for other royal duties has given him access to some beautiful women, and he's taken full advantage.' Andrew was forced to resign his royal position after Virginia Giuffre alleged that, when she was 17, Epstein trafficked her to him for sex. Giuffre and Andrew later settled a civil case for an undisclosed sum. Andrew was stripped of all royal patronages by his mother in 2022, eight months before her death. The Daily Beast has contacted Prince Harry's office for comment. Prince Andrew no longer has media representation, but a communications professional who previously worked for him was contacted for comment.
