Wimbledon fine 12 players as British star abuses staff
A total of 12 players have been fined for boorish behaviour at Wimbledon, with the largest punishment going to a British star
Henry Patten of Great Britain, right, has been fined
British doubles player Henry Patten has received the largest fine at Wimbledon to date. The 29 year old has been slapped with a £9,000 penalty for verbally abusing staff when they attempted to curtail his practice session.
The second heftiest fine of £4,400 was handed to Adrian Mannarino for unsportsmanlike behaviour during his second-round match against Valentin Royer. Despite winning that match, Mannarino was later defeated by Andrey Rublev in the third round.

Russian player Elena Pridankina was issued the third largest fine of £3,600, also for unsportsmanlike conduct, during her first-round doubles loss to Jelena Ostapenko and Hsieh Su-wei.

Four players were each fined £2,900: Zizou Bergs and Halley Baptiste for audible obscenities, Varvara Gracheva for racket or equipment abuse, and Anna Kalinskaya for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The final four players, Alex Bolt and Chloe Paquet for audible obscenities, Colton Smith for racket and equipment abuse, and Luca Van Assche for unsportsmanlike conduct, were each fined £1,500.
Wimbledon is now reclaiming significantly less prize money since Nick Kyrgios is not participating in the main draw. The Australian player claims to have paid over £400,000 in fines throughout his career.
"Look, I probably would have, in my entire career, man I've been hit with some big ones," Kyrgios admitted.

"I would say, I'd be approaching around 800 grand (Australian dollars) I reckon."
Kyrgios was slapped with a fine of £11,700 for breaching Wimbledon's stringent dress code in 2022 when he sported red Jordan trainers on Centre Court. Since then, he has advocated for the all-white dress code to be abolished.
"I think it'd be cool to mix it up. I think everyone should wear all black," Kyrgios suggested during an interview with talkSPORT.

He further argued that such a change could enhance the viewing experience, stating: "It would look super clean on the court and on TV. It would look amazing."

52,000 petals fall in St Paul's to remember 52 victims of 7/7 bombings 20 years on

As the white petals fell from the dome of St Paul's, so did the tears. The Prime Minister and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh joined victims' families, survivors and emergency workers at St Paul's Cathedral yesterday to mark the 20th anniversary of the July 7 London bombings. During the memorial service, the cathedral was filled with 52,000 white petals fluttering through the air like snow flakes as the names of the 52 dead were read out. One victim's daughter, Saba Edwards, stoically read the names of those who died on the Piccadilly Line bombing, but her voice cracked and she was unable to hold back the tears as she came to her own mother Behnaz Mozakka. Thelma Stober – who survived the Aldgate bomb but suffered life-changing injuries including the loss of her lower left leg – struggled to contain her emotions as she also read the names. During the emotional service, tributes were paid to those who lost their lives as well as the hundreds injured in the attacks on three Tube trains and a double-decker bus in the worst single terrorist atrocity on British soil. Survivors and relatives of those killed in the bombings spoke movingly about how the areas involved in the attacks have changed in the past 20 years. Ellie Patsalos, the wife of Professor Philip Patsalos, who lost a leg in the blast between King's Cross and Russell Square stations, said: 'Here, men and women seek understanding and their search for truth challenges the ignorance which casts so much darkness over our world.' With Keir Starmer at the commemorative ceremony were Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper. Yesterday the Prime Minister laid wreaths at the July 7 memorial in Hyde Park at 8.50am to coincide with the time the first bomb went off. He was joined by officials including Scotland Yard Commissioner Mark Rowley, and the Chief Constable of the British Transport Police Lucy D'Orsi. Prince William was also at the Hyde Park memorial, laying a floral tribute and listening to testimonies given by family members of those who died and people present at the attacks. Sir Keir said: 'Today the whole country will unite to remember the lives lost in the 7/7 attacks, and all those whose lives were changed forever. 'We honour the courage shown that day – the bravery of the emergency services, the strength of survivors, and the unity of Londoners in the face of terror. Those who tried to divide us failed. We stood together then, and we stand together now, against hate and for the values that define us: freedom, democracy and the rule of law.' The Home Secretary added: 'Twenty years have passed since 7/7 but the passage of time makes what happened that day no less shocking. It was an appalling attack on our capital city and on democracy itself.' Sir Sadiq said Londoners 'will always choose hope over fear and unity over division'. He added, 'We also pay tribute to those who ran towards danger on that terrible day... their bravery and selflessness will never be forgotten.'

‘Style and class is lacking' – ‘Sexy' football TV presenter slammed by female colleague over ‘vulgar' outfits

Several presenters have stunned at the Club World Cup 'SEX SELLS' 'Style and class is lacking' – 'Sexy' football TV presenter slammed by female colleague over 'vulgar' outfits Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A "SEXY" football TV presenter has been called out by a female colleague over her "vulgar" outfits.

They include Loris Karius' wife Dilette Leotta, Giusy Meloni, Marialuisa Jacobelli, and Eleonora Incardoni, whom Maceri named specifically. The criticism comes after Maceri published her new book - "F*** Female Empowerment: The Great Mistake of Modern Feminism". In the book she writes: "Personally, I would say that the way female reporters present themselves on the sidelines in Italy is sometimes borderline. "I think women should be sexy, but always with style and class. That's sometimes lacking in Italy. Here, the principle that sex sells applies strongly." Maceri, 31, then doubled down in an interview with Bild, slamming Incardoni for "vulgarity". She told the German outlet: "If you want to speak on an equal level with players and officials, it's not conducive. "Incardona mainly deals with DAZN BET – meaning she presents the betting odds. And she does it very sexy. Sometimes vulgarly." Incardoni has stunned in America with her outfit choices. The 34-year-old wore a bra and three-piece suit for one match, and wowed over the weekend in a one-strap brown dress.
