Princess Kate, Prince William attend Wimbledon men's final
Princess Catherine and Prince William attended the Wimbledon men's singles final Sunday along with their eldest two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Kate has attended the prestigious tennis tournament in London nearly every year since 2011, and she was also in attendance for Saturday's women's singles final. Despite that dismal match — Iga Swiatek crushed Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 — Kate brought the family back for Sunday's men's final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, who most recently played a stirring final at the French Open in June. George, 11, and Charlotte, 10, have attended matches in the royal box on Centre Court alongside their parents before. George first attended the tournament in 2022, and Charlotte watched her first match in person the next year. However, Kate and William's youngest child, 7-year-old Prince Louis, has not yet attended the tournament. Kate has missed Wimbledon only once in the past 15 years, skipping in 2013 when she was several months pregnant with George. Last year, her appearance at the men's final between Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic was one of the first times she stepped out in public after being diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year. The Prince and Princess of Wales were not the only royals in attendance Sunday. King Felipe of Spain also watched the match, presumably cheering on his countryman, Alcaraz. _________

Forest target Liverpool winger as Elanga replacement this summer
Nottingham Forest Eye Move for Liverpool's Ben Doak After Elanga Departure Forest look to replace Elanga with Liverpool winger Nottingham Forest are exploring the possibility of signing Liverpool winger Ben Doak this summer, following Anthony Elanga's £55 million move to Newcastle United. The Sweden international's departure has left a void in Forest's attacking options, and according to The Express, Doak is among the names under consideration as a potential replacement. Photo: IMAGO Advertisement Forest had hoped to keep Elanga, but the lure of European football and Newcastle's growing project proved decisive. Elanga contributed six goals and 11 assists for Forest last season and described his time there as 'amazing', adding that the club 'really helped me to become the player I am today'. His exit now gives Forest room to reinvest, and their focus has turned to Anfield, where Doak is attracting growing interest. Interest in Doak builds across Europe Doak, 19, enjoyed a strong loan spell at Middlesbrough last season, where he scored three goals and provided seven assists in the Championship. His performances did not go unnoticed. PSV Eindhoven are reportedly among the clubs tracking his situation, while sides in Spain have also shown interest. Photo IMAGO Advertisement Closer to home, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Everton have all made enquiries earlier this summer, with Brentford maintaining long-standing interest in the Scottish winger. Forest are now the latest club to join the race, and with funds available from Elanga's sale, they could formalise their interest in the coming days. Liverpool value Doak amid summer reshuffle Liverpool are understood to value Doak at around £25 million. While not actively looking to sell, the club are aware of the growing demand for the young attacker, who joined from Celtic in 2022. Doak made his senior Liverpool debut shortly after arriving and has featured ten times for the Reds in all competitions. Photo: IMAGO Advertisement He also played a part in Sunday's 3-1 pre-season win over Preston North End, registering an assist and further showcasing his attacking potential. Doak is open to leaving Anfield if regular first-team football can be guaranteed, and Forest may offer a more immediate path to consistent minutes. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis Ben Doak has long been seen as one of the most promising young players at Liverpool. Quick, fearless and direct, he is exactly the kind of winger the club has built its modern identity around. But if this report is accurate, Liverpool may be ready to cash in. £25 million is a tempting figure for a player with limited top-flight minutes, and it would represent a healthy profit on the teenager signed from Celtic just two years ago. Advertisement Still, it feels early. Doak impressed on loan, showed flashes in pre-season, and already looks capable of contributing at Premier League level. In a summer that has already seen several departures, including Alexander-Arnold, Quansah and the passing of Jota, letting another young talent go could feel like a step back. Yes, there is an argument that loaning him again might not benefit either party. But selling outright, especially to a domestic rival like Forest, might be a decision the club come to regret. Supporters will be hoping this interest prompts Liverpool to rethink. Doak has the tools. What he needs now is trust, patience and a proper chance.

Broncos Predicted to Land Free Agent Receiver
Broncos Predicted to Land Free Agent Receiver originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Denver Broncos' offense exceeded nearly all expectations in 2024. The team selected Bo Nix with the No. 12 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and many in the building were excited about what Nix and the offense could achieve under the guidance of Sean Payton, even if it was fair to expect some growing pains from a rookie quarterback. Advertisement Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (2) catches a touchdown pass as Arizona Cardinals cornerback Antonio Hamilton Sr. (33) as defends. Ken Blaze/Imagn ImagesKen Blaze/Imagn Images Nix showed a lot of positives in his rookie season, completing 66.3% of his passes for 3775 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions as the Broncos made the postseason for the first time since 2015. A positive for the offense was Nix's connection with Courtland Sutton, who arguably had a career year, catching 81 passes for 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns. Sutton enters the season as Nix's top target once again. Still, the Broncos added pass-catchers Pat Bryant and Evan Engram through the NFL Draft and free agency, hopefully adding more pop to a receiving core that needed an upgrade. However, there could be more help for Nix and the offense. Per Seth Walder of ESPN, the Broncos are a potential destination for veteran receivers Keenan Allen or Amari Cooper, who are free agents searching for new teams. Advertisement In an article where Walder graded every NFL team's offseason grade, Walder handed the Broncos an excellent 'A-' grade, praising the team's direction and the moves made, but wished the Broncos did more at receiver. 'I wanted to see the Broncos do more at receiver. Besides counting on Courtland Sutton and Engram, they are likely hoping for Marvin Mims Jr. or Troy Franklin to break out. Perhaps they'll end up making a move for another veteran -- maybe Keenan Allen or Amari Cooper?' Walder writes. Allen spent the 2024 season with the Chicago Bears, catching 70 passes for 744 yards and seven touchdowns, while Cooper was traded to the Buffalo Bills midway through the season and struggled to acclimate, catching 20 balls for 297 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. Both remain free agents, likely because of their drop-off in play from 2024, and because of the healthy receiver landscape across the NFL. However, the Broncos have options at receiver already, and neither would need to come in and earn 120 targets, especially in an offense that could run the ball more efficiently in 2025. A move could manifest itself. Related: Broncos' Bold Draft Pick Jahdae Barron Poised to Shine in 2025 This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 13, 2025, where it first appeared.
