Wimbledon 2025: Frances Tiafoe upset in second round by Cameron Norrie

The upsets keep coming at Wimbledon. Following an upset-heavy first round, American Frances Tiafoe added his name to the list of disappointing performers after an upset loss to Cameron Norrie on Tuesday. Tiafoe lost the match in four sets (6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 7-5). Tiafoe got off to a decent start, taking the first set 6-4 to secure a lead. But he couldn't hold that momentum. Tiafoe dropped the next two sets against Norrie 4-6, 3-6, to fall behind in the match. Advertisement With Tiafoe on the ropes, the American decided to take a lengthy bathroom break ahead of the fourth set. His absence lingered longer than expected, causing some to accuse Tiafoe of trying to halt Norrie's momentum. Tiafoe was gone long enough that some sites erroneously listed the match as over after just three sets, leading some to wonder whether Tiafoe retired due to an injury. That was not the case. Tiafoe returned to the court for the fourth set, and initially seemed reinvigorated as he resumed play. But Norrie once again fought back, taking a 4-3 lead in the set. Tiafoe again showed signs of life, taking the next two games to make it 5-4, but Norrie battled back to win the set. Norrie didn't miss his opportunity to send Tiafoe packing. The Brit won the next two games, winning the fourth set, and the match 7-5. This story will be updated.

Jaiswal rebuilds India after being made to bat first by England at Edgbaston

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — India was 98-2 at lunch after being made to bat first by England to start the second test at Edgbaston on Wednesday. Yashasvi Jaiswal was 62 not out, after Lokesh Rahul chopped on to his stumps on 2 early on, and Karun Nair was out minutes before lunch when he picked out second slip. Advertisement Rahul's wicket was reward for England's tight bowling on a dry, batter-friendly pitch under sunny skies. Then Nair's ambition sparked Jaiswal out of uncharacteristic caution and they accelerated to hit 16 boundaries in a stand of 80 runs off 90 balls. But Nair's wicket stopped the session from being dominated by India. Captain Shubman Gill was with Jaiswal on 1. The first hour was attritional for India, with England seamer Chris Woakes particularly effective. He got Rahul out and had big lbw shouts against Jaiswal on 12 and Nair on 5. Both times the ball was tracking to clip the top of off stump but the batters survived on umpire calls. Advertisement Nair was promoted from No. 6 in the batting order to No. 3 for the first time in a test and quickly passed Jaiswal's score by driving at Woakes and Josh Tongue. Jaiswal was unusually strangled but didn't give England the mistake it was waiting for. He opened up in the second hour by smashing fuller-length deliveries to the boundary by Tongue and Ben Stokes. His rising confidence brought out his imagination, including an overhead volley smash of Stokes to the boundary. He brought up his 50 with his 10th boundary — an overhead cut, on his toes, off Tongue. His 16th 50-plus score in his 21st test came off 58 balls. Nair fell softly after a bowling change and the return of Brydon Carse. Advertisement India revealed its lineup after England won the toss and surprised by resting its best bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, and not picking wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who was missed in the series-opening loss in Leeds last week. Sai Sudharsan, who made his test debut in Leeds, and Shardul Thakur were dropped and Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar picked in an attempt by India to try and balance batting depth with a side that can take 20 wickets. India became the first side to lose a test after hitting five centuries. Bumrah was replaced by Akash Deep. ___ AP cricket: The Associated Press

Joao Pedro cost a reported $A125 million and has signed a contract through to 2033. "Everyone knows this is a big club with a great history," Joao Pedro said. "They had brilliant players in the past and have brilliant players now. So I am excited to join and you know when you are a Chelsea player you must think one thing - win." He has joined up with Chelsea's squad at the Club World Cup in the United States and is eligible to play in Friday's quarter-final against Palmeiras. Joao Pedro is Chelsea's fifth major signing this offseason after previous deals for Liam Delap, Dario Essugo, Kendry Paez and Mamadou Sarr. The boy from Brazil. 🇧🇷 — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 2, 2025 Under Boehly and Clearlake, the six-time English Premier League champions have spent well in excess of $A1.53 billion on transfers, including British record fess for Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. Joao Pedro's arrival comes as Chelsea prepares for a return to the Champions League after a two-year absence. Bayer Leverkusen have signed defender Jarell Quansah from English champions Liverpool in a £35 million deal. The 22-year-old centre-back has joined the German Bundesliga club on a five-year contract. Quansah was part of the England side who won the European Under-21 Championship by beating Germany in the final on Saturday. His move is the third deal between the clubs this summer after Liverpool signed midfielder Florian Wirtz and defender Jeremie Frimpong.
