Ferrari wins the 24 Hours of Le Mans for third year in a row
LE MANS, France (AP) — Ferrari won the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the third year running Sunday but a late surge from Porsche Penske Motorsport denied the Italian manufacturer a podium sweep.
The No. 83 Ferrari 499P crew of Robert Kubica, Ye Yifei and Philip Hanson took the win as Ferrari won for the 12th time in the 102nd edition of the storied race. Their bright-yellow car, privately entered by the AF Corse team, got the better of Porsche and the two official factory-entered Ferraris.
The Penske-operated No. 6 Porsche 963 of Kévin Estre, Laurens Vanthoor and Matt Campbell surged late in the race to finish second ahead of the two other Ferraris.
For Kubica and Ye, it was redemption after their car — then with Robert Shwartzman as third driver — was a strong contender to win last year's race before a crash, a penalty and finally a race-ending mechanical failure.

Timothy Weah's agent exposes disgraceful Juventus transfer structure
Timothy Weah's agent Sam Mbangue blasts Juventus for treating players unfairly despite their contributions. reports an interview where Sambague is exposing Juventus' 'selfish' transfer department. He said: 'It's a disgrace. Weah is a fantastic player and a fantastic teammate. To see people acting like this for money and because they are selfish has disappointed me a lot.' Advertisement A report by La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed Juventus received offers from Nottingham Forest for Weah and Samuel Mbangula for a combined fee of €25 million. The American forward was not named in the Matchday squad for The Bianconeri's Club World Cup game against Manchester City to force him out of the club this summer. Weah and Mbangula posted cryptic messages on their respective social media handles when the developments were happening behind the scenes to show their displeasure about Juventus' handling of players. With Juventus set to raise funds this summer from transfers, they might feel the need to offload certain key players in a desperate move. However, the ill-treatment of players, who have contributed to the growth of the club in recent times, is completely unacceptable. Trambak Bhattacherjee | GIFN

2025 Wimbledon odds: Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka enter as favorites again
The French Open produced a pair of memorable finals, but despite going from the slowest surface to the fastest, the players at the top of the odds boards are largely the same. Carlos Alcaraz is ahead of Jannik Sinner as the tournament favorite for Wimbledon on the men's side, while Aryna Sabalenka remains the pre-tournament favorite, just as she was for the Australian Open and French Open. It's a sign of how dominant the top few players have been, and the shrinking difference between the different surfaces, that the favorites are the same at the French Open and Wimbledon. The budding rivalry between Alcaraz and Sinner is fresh on the minds of tennis fans. After the two went five sets in Paris, a rematch on Centre Court would be must-see stuff. Sinner hasn't won a Grand Slam off of hard court yet, and Wimbledon is the last Slam final he has yet to reach after his runner-up finish at Roland Garros. Advertisement As the two-time defending champion, it's no surprise Alcaraz is ahead of Sinner in the odds. Alcaraz is +115 on BetMGM, while Sinner is at +190. That's not a big difference, but there is a sizable gap after those two. Novak Djokovic is +650 to win what would be his eighth Wimbledon, matching Roger Federer's record haul. Anyone else would be a surprise to betters. There is some variety in the names compared to the top contenders in Melbourne and Paris. Englishman Jack Draper is fourth in the odds at +1600. The 23-year-old has a big serve that suits grass, he's up to No. 4 in the ATP rankings and he will likely have extra energy from the home crowd, but he only has two main draw wins at Wimbledon to his name. Draper put himself on the map with a semifinal showing at last year's U.S. Open, but has lost in the fourth round at the two Slams this year. On the women's side, Sabalenka is a logical favorite, but the field is far more wide open than the men's one. She is +290 to win, giving her solidly longer odds than both of the top two men. Sabalenka is the World No. 1 and has been unbelievably consistent at making deep runs at Grand Slams. She has made at least the quarterfinals at the last 10 Slams she has entered, with nine semifinals, six finals and three titles in that span. Sabalenka has made the final in five of her last six Slams (she did not compete at Wimbledon last year), which in the 21st Century puts her in the company of only Serena Williams, Venus Williams and Justine Henin. A big server and hard hitter, Sabalenka's game should translate well to grass, but Wimbledon is the one Slam final she has not played in yet. Not playing in 2022 because of the All England Lawn Tennis Club's ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes, and missing last year's edition due to a shoulder injury, has played a part in that. The usual contenders don't have a track record at Wimbledon. Iga Świątek (+800) has dipped in form and has only made one quarterfinal in London. Coco Gauff (+800), who is fresh off her French Open triumph, made her name by reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon as a 15-year-old in 2019, but hasn't surpassed that result since. Advertisement Elena Rybakina, the 2022 champion, is the second-favorite behind Sabalenka at +650. She has made at least the quarterfinals in the past three editions of Wimbledon. Markéta Vondroušová, the 2023 champ, is +1200, behind Świątek and Gauff. Defending champion Barbora Krejčíková missed the Australian Open due to injury and only returned to action in May. She is a significant long shot at +15000 (150-to-1). Betting/odds links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic. Restrictions may apply.
