What time is Novak Djokovic playing at Wimbledon today?
Although the Serb suffered from some stomach issues in his first-round tie with Alexandre Muller, he came through that test, before looking imperious in dismissing British hope Dan Evans.
Djokovic was again in sparkling form as he saw off compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic, and those results took him to the second week in SW19, where Alex de Minaur awaited. Again, Djokovic was seen clutching his stomach throughout, but he bounced back to beat the 11th seed in four frames after losing the first.

A resilient Skye Blakely returns at Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships
There was a time last summer when Skye Blakely, toting crutches after surgery, reflected with her parents about how well she competed at the 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Championships a month or two earlier. Blakely finished runner-up to Simone Biles at those nationals, confirming she was a bona fide contender for the five-woman Paris Olympic team. Three weeks later, Blakely ruptured her right Achilles' tendon while training on floor exercise, two days before the Olympic Trials. She underwent season-ending surgery. 'Just talking about the feeling of how I competed at (2024 U.S.) Championships — I was very free, I was very relaxed, and I was having fun,' Blakely recalled. 'That was a newer kind of feeling for me. I don't always compete like that. 'They (mom Stephanie and dad Steven) were just like, 'You see how well you did, and you're still talking about how (much) more you have to give. Allow that to drive you for this next Olympics.'' Blakely returns to elite gymnastics competition for the first time in 14 months at this week's Xfinity U.S. Championships. Nick Zaccardi, She plans to do strictly balance beam and uneven bars, eschewing vault and floor for now. She is working toward returning to all-around competition in 2026. Even without doing all four events, she can still be chosen for this October's World Championships, which include individual events only. The four women for worlds will be decided at a selection competition in early autumn, though results at nationals will also play a role in committee picks. Blakely's young senior career — she is 20 years old, coming off her freshman year at Florida — has already been defined by perseverance. At the Tokyo Olympic Trials, she tore an elbow ligament warming up for vault, her first event. Blakely underwent Tommy John surgery, then came back to earn places on world championship-winning U.S. teams in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, Blakely could have been the first-timer on an Olympic team otherwise full of veterans (Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles). Instead, she could be the experienced rookie in 2028. A day after the Achilles tear, she posted, 'I'm devastated and heartbroken but I believe everything happens for a reason. I was so close to reaching my dream but this injury was unavoidable. I had an amazing season that I am extremely grateful for. the plans we have for ourselves aren't always the plans God has for us. I'm going to keep my chin high and be proud of the statement I have made for myself these past couple years. I'll be back.' Blakely, a Texan who started gymnastics at age 3, matriculated at Florida later last summer. She told coaches with determination that she planned to make it through physical rehab and be available for the first meet of the NCAA season in January 2025. 'There were some people who were like, 'I don't think you will compete. We're not sure if you will or be ready,'' she said. 'I was like, 'I'm going to be ready.'' On Jan. 10, Blakely mounted the bars minutes after older sister Sloane did in front of about 6,000 people at the O'Connell Center. She scored 9.725 in Florida's season-opening meet. #Gators freshman Skye Blakely's first collegiate routine … Not bad for where she was less than 200 days ago … Blakely's original plan was to make the 2024 Olympics and move on from elite gymnastics. But as she saw others go to college and then return to elite successfully — like Lee, Carey and Chiles — Blakely revised her thinking. 'Right after I got hurt, I was like, I'm going for 2028,' she said. Blakely began to feel like her old self in June. Through physical therapy, she had overcome weakness in her calf and discomfort in her heel after the NCAA season, which her surgeon had told her to expect. The next three years will be about progression, from getting her skills back to developing into a seasoned NCAA competitor. Come 2028, she can become the first U.S. female gymnast to make her first Olympic team off qualifying for her third Olympic Trials since Kelly Garrison in 1988. 'That kept me motivated, knowing how close I was to making the team, knowing how ready I was,' she said. 'The injury keeping me back from making that team just motivates me more.'

What Luka Dončić's $165M means, plus grading NBA team offseasons
The Bounce Newsletter | This is The Athletic's daily NBA newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Bounce directly in your inbox. I'm writing today's edition from my laptop in the middle of the Green Park in London. Imagine if you told people 100 years ago that we could send out The Bounce over the internet to people all over the world. Their first question would be: 'What's The Bounce?' And you could tell them: 'You fool! It's a free NBA newsletter from The Athletic, and you can subscribe so easily.' Technology! Dončić signs 3-year, $165 million extension 'Is Luka Dončić going to sign the extension with the Lakers?' It was a question, but it was also mostly a formality. While some doubts can be spun into justifying absurd trade ideas in Dallas, when it came to the question of whether Dončić was going to sign his extension, it never felt like there was a real possibility of him leaving the franchise. The 26-year-old had a player option for next season, but declining that would have made him an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2026. Advertisement Instead of waiting for next summer and opting for a longer, possibly more lucrative contract over those next four years, Luka did what's best, both for the Lakers in the interim — and in the long term for his earning potential. He agreed to a three-year extension worth as much as $165 million. It's probably more like a two-year extension, though. There is a player option for the 2028-29 season at $57.5 million, which sounds like a lot. Because it is. I would suspect he declines that option. Why? In the summer of 2028, he'll be 10 years into his career, which makes him eligible for a five-year contract worth at least projected $400 million. I'll say it if nobody else will: That is a significant amount of money. He'll be 29 years old at that point, so it's not like they're giving that money to an older player. He'll likely be in his prime, which is eye-popping to consider about someone who has averaged 30 points, 8.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists with 47.4/35.3/75.7 shooting splits since his rookie season. The Lakers are also set up to put players around Dončić. These are the other players they have signed through each season past this one: Assuming they reach a deal with Reaves when he declines his player option in 2026, the Lakers will have quite a bit of roster flexibility. If Ayton works out for them as their long-lost big man, then he probably opts out of that contract next summer, but gets something a bit more lucrative as he keeps proving himself. And, of course, we have no idea what this means for LeBron James. Lakers executive Rob Pelinka mentioned it would be 'great' if LeBron retires a Laker, but what does that mean about his free agency next summer? Or anything potentially happening before the February trade deadline? Do the Lakers still want to pay him the max during whatever short time he has left in the NBA? Can you imagine him taking a discount? A lot of questions about the Lakers remain, but the Luka one has been answered. RFA, revisited 🏀 Does it work? Restricted free agency doesn't seem to work for players anymore. But did it ever? 🃏 Always joking. Gilbert Arenas is under some serious allegations of running an illegal gambling business. ICYMI: Who is Gil, and why is he always joking? 🏀 Dame's back. Damian Lillard is now one of several NBA players to take on a college role. GM at his alma mater, Weber State. 🏀 This is fun. A familiar game has a pretty fun national competition. Welcome to Pop-A-Shot! 🎧 'NBA Daily.' Zena and Es are joined by Amick to discuss trade rumors around the NBA. Watch on YouTube. Fox agrees to a big extension with the Spurs When the Spurs came upon some draft lottery luck and found themselves with the No. 2 pick in this year's draft, it was pretty obvious right away that lead guard Dylan Harper out of Rutgers would be the selection. Sure enough, that's whom the Spurs took, and it at least made some people raise an eyebrow about what that meant for De'Aaron Fox and his future in San Antonio. Advertisement The franchise has Stephon Castle, the reigning Rookie of the Year. He's a very good playmaker, and while he's definitely more of a wing or an off-guard, he fancies himself a point guard in the NBA. Harper, one of the top prospects in the draft, showed a lot of the reasons why so many people believe in him during his Summer League exploits. He looks like the real deal, and the promise of him and Victor Wembanyama together in the future is a lot of fun. Fox is an All-NBA point guard the Spurs traded for last season. But fear not about his future in San Antonio. The Spurs agreed to a four-year, $229 million extension that will keep him in San Antonio through the 2029-30 season. It's a lot of the cap for a guy they might have a replacement for already, but Wemby is on his rookie deal for two more years, Castle for three and Harper is just beginning his. The Spurs have time to pay Fox until they have to make decisions down the road on how to manage the cap under the second apron. Or if we want to get really spicy and raise some eyebrows, maybe in a year or two, the Spurs have a massive contract to use in matching Giannis Antetokounmpo's deal in a trade. Sun could sell for $325 million, head to Boston I mean the WNBA's Connecticut Sun, not the giant gas star you want to stare at while knowing it's such a bad idea. Not that thing that gives sustenance to the plant life Chris Paul and his vegan friends enjoy every day. OK, that's enough about the sun. A group led by Steve Pagliuca, a minority owner for the Celtics, has interest in buying the Connecticut Sun (down at 11th in Power Rankings!). The potential price could be a record-breaking $325 million, with an additional $100 million going toward a practice facility. The reported intention is to move the team to Boston, possibly as early as 2027. This is a pretty big deal for the WNBA in general. While some might scoff at the purchase price when compared to the $10 billion to took to buy the Lakers, remember the Sacramento Kings were sold for $534 million in 2013 and the Milwaukee Bucks for $550 million in 2014. Also remember the NBA had a decades-long head start at creating value for their franchises. With expansion franchises going for $250 million, I'm sure this eye-popping Sun number will make players feel even more emboldened to earn what they're owed. The WNBA is possibly heading toward a lockout during labor negotiations, in which players want a much bigger piece of the thriving league's pie. Grading offseasons is tough, but we did it We've got a little less than two months left in the offseason before we're past media day and knee-deep in some training camp action and soundbites. And while this summer is not completely over for people named Kuminga, Russell Westbrook or Cam Thomas, the majority of teams have filled their rotations and are looking set for the start of next season. So it's the perfect time to start grading each team's offseason. Advertisement That's exactly what my colleagues at The Athletic did this week. Every team has a grade, except for the one team that has earned an incomplete so far. Let's go over four teams I felt were graded too low and four teams I felt were graded too high. Luckily for my colleagues, I'm wrong a lot, so they probably nailed these grades regardless. Four teams I graded lower: Four teams I graded higher: Here are all those grades again.

Swansea City eye loan move for West Ham United starlet
Swansea City are keen on taking West Ham United youngster Kaelan Casey on loan, sources have told WalesOnline. The 20-year-old is a highly-rated prospect in east London, having made his Premier League debut in May 2024. He was part of several Premier League matchday squads last season, even making a late appearance off the bench against Bournemouth, and is currently with the rest of the squad for the tour of the United States. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here. READ MORE: Alan Sheehan hopes for Swansea City signings as Wycombe boss makes Richard Kone statement READ MORE: Swansea City players ratings as tidy new signing shows he's ready for the new season He now looks set to be shipped out on loan for the upcoming campaign, with Swansea seriously exploring the possibility of a move to south Wales. Injuries to Ben Cabango and Ricardo Santos mean Cameron Burgess is currently the only recognised senior centre-back at Alan Sheehan's disposal ahead of next weekend's curtain-raiser, and reinforcements have become a serious priority in this window. Should Casey make the move to the Swans, he'd be doing so with the seal of approval from a former City boss. Speaking about his talents back in January, Hammers manager Graham Potter said: "He's been training with us. He's done well. "Obviously, we haven't had too many full training sessions, so I can't give you a full assessment of him. "But in the training sessions that we've had, he's trained well, he's done well. "It's a big step, obviously, into the Premier League. But again, he's someone that is well thought of. "He's trained well, he conducts himself well, he wants to learn, he wants to improve. So he's an option." Current Swans boss Sheehan would certainly welcome fresh defensive cover ahead of next weekend's trip to Middlesbrough, and admits he's hopeful of bringing some new faces in the coming days. Sign up to the Swansea City WhatsApp service to get breaking news and top stories sent to your phone. Asked if there were likely to be further arrivals before his side journey to Teesside he said: "All going well, yeah. "We're in talks with players. But we're not just going to sign anyone. They've got to be the right fit for the football club in order to make us better. "We've done good quality signings so far and there may be a couple more before the end of the window, but I've no idea really on timescale." The club are also working on possible attacking reinforcements, with Wycombe Wanderers striker Richard Kone the subject of keen interest, with Swansea already having two bids knocked back.
