Hopman Cup: Canada Down Italy To Clinch Maiden Title
Last Updated: Bianca Andreescu and Felix Auger-Aliassime teamed up to help Canada get their hands on the coveted silverware for the very time as they beat Lucia Bronzetti and Flavio Cobolli. Canada clinched the Hopman Cup for the very first time as Bianca Andreescu and Felix Auger-Aliassime teamed up to beat Italy's Lucia Bronzetti and Flavio Cobolli in Bari on Sunday. Andreescu dispatched Bronzetti in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3, in the women's singles rubber, to take the lead, but Cobolli got the better of Auger-Aliassime in the men's singles rubber to send the fixture to a tie-breaker in the doubles format. However, Andreescu and Auger-Aliassime made no mistake in the decider as the Canadians registered a 6-3, 6-3 win over the Italians to clinch the crown. Currently ranked 185 in the world, Andreescu is 121 places lower than the Italian, but the 25-year-old once held the number four spot and won the 2019 US Open and her enduring class was too much for Bronzetti in their first ever meeting. That meant Cobolli had to win against Auger-Aliassime to keep Italy in the hunt for the title. Their two previous meetings, both in 2024, were shared one apiece and there was little to separate them in the rankings with Cobolli at 19 and Auger-Aliassime at 28. The Canadian edged the first set taking the tiebreak 9-7, but Wimbledon quarter-finalist Cobolli got the all-important break in the second to take it 7-5 and nudge the match into a a third set tie-breaker which he took 10-8. The doubles would prove to be the crucial factor on the day in the summit clash of the prestigious cup competition and the Canadians held their nerve to pick up a crucial win that earned them the right to hold the coveted piece of silverware at the ed of it all in Italy. view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 09:18 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Wimbledon 2025: Novak Djokovic reaches semi-finals again after overcoming fall to down Flavio Cobolli
For the 14th time in his career, Novak Djokovic will stride out onto Centre Court for a Wimbledon semi-final. The 38-year-old will face world number one Jannik Sinner on Friday for a place in the final, a stage he has not failed to reach at SW19 since 2017. Advertisement There were scares here in an entertaining quarter-final clash with Flavio Cobolli, Djokovic losing the first set and then left face down in the grass in the final game after a nasty fall behind the baseline. Djokovic, though, did what Djokovic does, picking his moments to raise the intensity and delivering when it mattered most in a 6-7 6-2 7-5 6-4 victory. 'Wimbledon will always be the most special tournament we have in our sport, in my opinion and many other players' opinions,' he said on court after the match. 'It means the world to me that at 38 I am able to play in the final stages of Wimbledon.' Advertisement Asked for an update on his body after that fall, Djokovic added: "It was a nasty slip and that's what happens when you play on the grass. Djokovic played on after a nasty fall (AFP via Getty Images) 'You expect to fall with the way I move and slide on the grass. It came at an awkward moment but I managed to close it out. I will visit this subject with my physio and hopefully it will be fine in two days." Ahead of the match, Djokovic admitted he had been 'surprised' by Cobolli's Wimbledon run, suggesting that 'he doesn't strike me as a grass court specialist'. The Italian, competing in his first Grand Slam quarter-final, quickly established his serve and caused Djokovic problems in the baseline exchanges too, particularly off the forehand wing. Advertisement Djokovic broke to lead 5-3 and that appeared to be that for the set, but Cobolli broke back to love and forced a tie-break. At 6-6 it was in the balance, until Cobolli made a brilliant forehand pass and converted the set point that followed. The inevitable Djokovic response came, winning seven straight games as he cruised to the second set and then broke to lead 2-0 early in the third. A Cobolli resurgence did not appear on the cards but the Italian came roaring back, making a sensational return to get it back on serve and they remained level through to 5-5. With the significance of each game building, Cobolli blinked first. He whipped a forehand wide to give Djokovic the chance to serve for the set and this time there was no further drama. Advertisement Holds were exchanged in the fourth as the tension built, the biggest point of the match coming at 4-4, 30-30. A tight backhand was sent halfway up the net by Cobolli, and he then left Centre Court groaning in despair when netting a volley with the court at his mercy. That gave Djokovic the break and he brought up two match points, though the first went with a sensational forehand pass from Cobolli. Djokovic then slipped mid-point and lay motionless face-down on the ground, as Cobolli and the umpire rushed over to check on him. The Serbian was cheered to his feet and completed the job, and it was soon Cobolli being given a huge ovation as he walked off Centre Court in defeat but having given the seven-time champion a real test.

Djokovic reaches record 14th Wimbledon semi
Novak Djokovic won a testing battle against F l av i o C o b o l l i o n Wednesday to reach a record 14th men's Wimbledon semi-final, which will be a blockbuster clash against world number one Jannik Sinner. The Serb, chasing a historic 25th Grand Slam singles crown, was given the royal seal of approval by Britain's Queen Camilla before his 6-7 (6/8), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 win on Centre Court. The seven-time champion was pushed hard by the Italian 22nd seed but ultimately had too much for the 23-yearold, who had never previously been beyond the third round of a major. Djokovic said Wimbledon was the 'most special tournament' in the sport as he was cheered by the crowd. 'And of course, it means the world to me that I'm still able at 38 to play the final stages of Wimbledon,' he said. 'Thank you for cheering for my age. I really appreciate it. It's beautiful. Makes me feel very young. 'And I guess another thing that makes me feel very young is competing with youngsters, you know, like Cobolli today -- he's who knows how many years younger than me.' The sixth seed pre - pared for the contest by meeting Camilla, the wife of King Charles III, who said she was keeping her 'fingers crossed' for his match. She watched Djokovic from the Royal Box, along with British actor Hugh Grant. Cobolli showed early intent, mixing up his play with drop shots and heavy groundstrokes from his flashing orange racquet and unsettling his illustrious opponent. Djokovic, who has reached every Wimbledon final since 2018, served for the first set at 5-3 but the Italian broke back and won the ensuing tie-break. Cobolli, who has claimed titles in Bucharest and Hamburg this year, next had to answer the question of whether he could sustain his level against the 24- time Grand Slam champion. But it was a different story in the second set as Djokovic broke twice to level the match in the evening sunshine. The pair swapped service breaks early in the third set but Djokovic pounced again in the 11th game and thundered an ace as he took con- trol of the match. The fourth set was tight but Cobolli failed to put away a simple winner at the net in the ninth game. Slip Djokovic slipped and fell awkwardly when serving for the match, grimacing in pain, but got up to finish the job. He played down the incident in his on-court interview. 'I had a nasty slip, but that's what happens when you play on the grass,' he said. 'It did come at an awkward moment, but somehow I managed to find a good serve and close it out. Obviously, I'm going to visit this subject now with my physio and hopefully I'll be well in two days.'

Novak Djokovic downs Cobolli, reaches 14th Wimbledon semi-final
LONDON: Novak Djokovic won a testing battle against Flavio Cobolli on Wednesday to reach a record 14th men's Wimbledon semi-final, which will be a blockbuster clash against world number one Jannik Sinner.

Obviously, I'm going to visit this subject now with my physio and hopefully I'll be well in two days.' The Serb now owns the all-time record for most Wimbledon men's singles semi-final appearances, moving one clear of eight-time champion Roger Federer, who reached the last four 13 times. He has also reached a 52nd Grand Slam semi-final, extending his all-time record in the men's game. Djokovic is now within two wins of breaking his tie with Margaret Court for the most Grand Slam singles titles for any player, man or woman. If he reaches and wins Sunday's final he will also equal Federer's record of eight men's titles at the All England Club. Sinner, who beat 10th seed Ben Shelton earlier Wednesday, will offer a different level of challenge. The top seed has won his past four matches against Djokovic, beating him in straight sets in the semi-finals of the recent French Open. Carlos Alcaraz, who has beaten Djokovic in the past two finals at Wimbledon, takes on US fifth seed Taylor Fritz in the other semi-final on Friday. — AFP
