Alcaraz steps in to help fainting fan on scorching Centre Court
Carlos Alcaraz rushed to help a spectator who collapsed during his opening match at Wimbledon, pausing play on Centre Court as temperatures soared. The defending champion handed over a bottle of water and watched as medics and members of the crowd came to the woman's aid during a break in his match against Fabio Fognini. Spectator Cara McKelvey, 30, a council worker from Lancashire, was sitting directly behind the woman. She told PA news agency: 'She was in her 70s, just with one of her mates, and had been watching the whole match. 'It was so hot when the sun was beating down. She just fainted. 'The whole team were really good, they all came round. 'A spectator even ran over and said, 'I'm a doctor,' and started helping out. 'They treated her and moved her onto a chair. ' Moments later, Alcaraz jogged across the court and handed over a cold bottle of water from his bag as medics rushed to assist. Ms McCelvey added: 'Bless him, it was so sweet. 'Alcaraz passed over his bottle – I was like, oh my God, that's Carlos Alcaraz's bottle.' A video seen by PA news agency shows Wimbledon staff sheltering the woman with umbrellas while another fan waves a handheld fan over her face. Play was suspended for several minutes before the woman was helped away for further treatment. Umpire James Keothavong told the crowd: 'Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately there has been an incident with a spectator. 'Health and safety is our priority. We will be pausing the match.' It comes as temperatures soared to 32.3C at Wimbledon on Monday – the hottest opening day on record.

School make lifelong memories at National Table Cricket Finals Day
The Cheltenham school battled through regional rounds to take on 11 other schools at the Home of Cricket, and while they didn't take home the trophy, they revelled in playing at an iconic sporting venue. The school only started playing the sport this academic year but teacher Richard Gill explained how it has already taken off amongst pupils who loved their day in London. 'They have loved it,' he said. 'We rocked up at school at 5.45 in the morning, there was lots of energy on the bus on the way here. We have had some really good individual and team performances. 'We are quite a new school, so these pupils are the pioneers. Looking back at it in a few years' time, they will really appreciate what they have done and the amazing opportunity. 'It has been amazing. We didn't think we could achieve something like this at the start of the year. 'We have got several pupils hooked for life and they had never played it before this year.' Table cricket is a fully inclusive, adapted version of the game aimed at young people living with a wide range of learning and physical disabilities played on a table tennis table. Teams of six compete to avoid fielders and hit specific scoring zones while the ball is bowled using a ramp. The Lord's Taverners runs its national competition each year, with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) schools from across the country taking part. The sport provides opportunities for participants to benefit from all that sport can offer, something Gill has seen first-hand. 'Their confidence has grown massively, they have met so many new people on their journey and they are quite happy to talk to them,' he added. 'They have a really strong sense of pride and ownership around table cricket. They are trying to get more people involved at school and everyone wants a bit of it now because they've got to a national final. Everyone at school is so proud of them.' For the first time in the competition's history, National Finals Day took place as part of Disability Cricket Day, the biggest ever one-off showcase of disability cricket hosted by the MCC, ECB and Lord's Taverners which saw all formats of disability cricket on display from grassroots to elite level. The day was brought to a close by the first ever international disability cricket fixture on the main ground at Lord's, the third of a seven-match Vitality IT20 Mixed disability series between England and India. 'I saw table cricket for the first time a few years ago now and coming to the final here at Lord's today, you are struck immediately by the competitiveness, the keenness and the camaraderie,' said Lord's Taverners President and former England batter David Gower. 'Everyone's spirits are high and it's fantastic to see people getting everything they want from the game, who, as we know, wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity. Events like this are hugely important. 'The players are all so good, and they are all having immense fun. The atmosphere is just vibrant, and I love being a figurehead for Tavs, especially on days like today.' The Lord's Taverners impacts the lives of young people facing the challenges of inequality.

Farewell tradition, hello robots: Wimbledon adjusts to life without line judges
Sometimes progress registers simply as absence and so it was on the opening day of this year's Wimbledon when the pursuit of greater accuracy led to the disappearance of the tournament's famous line judges. Electronic line calls are now in operation in SW19, bringing the championships into line with the grand slams in Melbourne and New York and also the ATP Tour. The French Open still uses line judges. But the shift to camera based, AI-enhanced decision-making cuts deeper at Wimbledon, where up to 300 line judges have been a colourful part of the tournament's ensemble cast for the past 147 years. With protests outside the gates (albeit with tongue in cheek) and ambivalence among fans, there were also unexpected reactions from players to the changes. In the men's draw, Carlos Alcaraz and his first-round opponent Fabio Fognini were to be seen questioning the decision of the new system, apparently unaware that the ability to challenge a call is another tradition now consigned to the past. In the women's draw, meanwhile, Chinese player Yuan Yue complained the new system was too quiet for her to hear its decision. 'The voice, I cannot really hear it, it is a bit too low', she said. 'So I asked the referee can you [turn] it up a little bit. He said he cannot. He said he will try to let us know [the call] because he has a machine that can look it up. I don't really mind, I just want to hear it clearly. [The umpire's] voice is a lot more loud than the automatic one so we can hear that clear. Other tournaments don't really have this problem.' The electronic line-call system was developed by Hawk-Eye and uses AI to analyse footage from up to 18 cameras tracking the progress of the ball across the court. If a serve is wide, or a forehand too long, manufacturers say the software will issue a notification within a tenth of a second. In a unique Wimbledon twist, those calls are then vocalised using recordings of the voices of staff from the All England Club. That can lead to an unusual experience in watching the play, or even competing in it. On court 18 during Cameron Norrie's first-round match against Roberto Bautista Agut, any declaration of 'fault' used the voice of a (forceful) ball boy, whereas 'out' calls were announced in the voices of adults, both male and female. In the lower courts there was also the a sense of disembodied calls floating between matches. Britain's Sonay Kartal lost a point at the Australian Open in January after she reacted to a call from a different court. Following her three-set victory over Jelena Ostapenko, however, she declared the conditions 'perfectly fine', though she echoed Yuan's concerns. 'I hit a few shots that were at a pretty big moment and the crowd kind of went nuts, so maybe I lost it a bit in that', she said. Sally Bolton, the chief executive of the All England Club, said the new system attempts to strike a typical balance between modernity and tradition. 'For us, it was time to make that change', she said. 'It's not a money-saving exercise, the technology investment we've had to make to deliver electronic line calling is not insignificant. It's about evolving the tournament and making sure that we're providing the most effective possible line calling. 'The line judges have been such an important part of the championships for so many years, and we obviously hugely appreciate the service that they've provided. Quite a few of them, around 80, are still with us as match assistants in a new role, supporting the chair umpire.' Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion Verdicts from the spectators were largely sceptical. Though some had missed the changes altogether, many were grateful for the continued use of animated graphics on tight line calls, now known as 'close calls', despite the end of the challenge system. Others, however, missed the simple pleasure of watching someone standing stock still at the back of a court, their eyes focused determinedly on a single point. 'You're essentially removing the history and replacing it with a slightly robotic animated voice. It's all a bit numbing,' said James from Ipswich, taking advantage of the shade underneath Centre Court mid-afternoon. 'Everything is getting more accurate, but we're losing the human drama. I miss the theatre of seeing someone staring down the line like that.' Less nuanced views were also available. The deputy leader of Reform, Richard Tice, was up posting about electronic line calls at 6.30am on Monday and he was not happy. 'We want our country back. We want Wimbledon line judges back. Enough is enough,' he wrote on X.
