Who is Dayana Yastremska? Ukrainian tennis star upsets Coco Gauff at Wimbledon
Coco Gauff's victory lap was short-lived. Less than one month after the American tennis star won the 2025 French Open, Gauff was knocked out in the first round of the 2025 Wimbledon tournament by Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska. "It was a great match today. I was really on fire," Yastremska said after her victory Tuesday. Yastremska downed No. 2 seed Gauff in straight sets, 7-6 (7-3), 6-1, on No. 1 Court, ending Gauff's bid for her third major title. Gauff is the fourth woman ranked in the Top 10 to fall in the first round of Wimbledon, following earlier upsets of No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula, No. 5 seed Qinwen Zheng and No. 9 seed Paula Badosa. Following the loss, an emotional Gauff said she's "obviously disappointed with how the result went today." "Dayana started off playing strong and I just couldn't find my footing out there today," Gauff added. "I saw the draw and knew it would be a tough match for me." 2025 WIMBLEDON: Coco Gauff suffers upset in first round, loses to Dayana Yastremska Yastremska entered Wimbeldon ranked No. 46 in the world and is expected to climb up the rankings following her Top-10 victory. Here's everything you need to know about the Ukrainian tennis star: Where is Dayana Yastremska from? Yastremska is a 25-year-old player from Odessa, Ukraine, who is currently ranked No. 46 in the world. Yastremska was ranked as high as No. 21 in January 2020 and boasts over 217,000 followers on Instagram. Aside from tennis, Yastremska dabbled in music and released her first single "Thousands of Me" in May 2020. Fun Fact: Yastremska has a love/hate relationship with grass. Ahead of the Nottingham Open final in June — which Yastremska lost to American McCartney Kessler — Yastremska revealed: "I really love playing on grass, even though I think I have a bit of an allergy to it." Has Dayana Yastremska won a Grand Slam? Yastremska has not won a Grand Slam title. Her best finish at a major came during the 2024 Australian Open, where she became the first qualifier since 1978 to reach the semifinals and only the third Ukrainian, female or male, to reach a major semifinal (Elina Svitolina, Andrei Medvedev the others). She was subsequently knocked out of the semifinals by China's Qinwen Zheng. Yastremska's best result at Wimbledon was a fourth-round exit in 2019. The Ukrainian star experienced early success at the junior level and was ranked as high as No. 6 in the world after reaching the Wimbledon junior singles final in 2016, before losing to Russia's Anastasia Potapova. "This court brings me a lot of nice memories because I played here at juniors finals, at this court. It gave me a lot of emotions," Yastremska said Tuesday following her upset of Gauff. Yastremska was suspended by the ITF in January 2021 for testing positive for a metabolite of mesterolone, an anabolic steroid banned by the WDA. The ITF later ruled in June 2021 that Yastremska "bore no fault or negligence" for the positive result, saying it "accepted Ms. Yastremska's account" of contamination. Her suspension was immediately lifted, clearing the way for Yastremska to return to tour. Dayana Yastremska fled her home during Russian invasion Yastremska fled from her hometown following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. She previously said she took a boat across the Black Sea with her younger sister, Ivanna, and eventually made it to Romania and then France. Their parents stayed behind in Odessa. "After spending two nights in the underground parking, my parents made a decision at any cost to send me and my little sister out of Ukraine!" Yastremska wrote on Instagram at the time. "Mom, Dad, we love you very much, take care of yourself!!! I love you my country! Ukrainians take care of your lives." At the 2022 BNP Paribas Open in March 2022, Yastremska walked onto the court draped in the Ukraine flag.

Yastremska said "playing against Coco it is something special." She added, "I played with her already three times, of course now four. It's 3-1 for her.

TGS and Oseberg's combined offering helps E&P companies reduce operational risks
Energy data and intelligence provider TGS has partnered with next-generation data company Oseberg on a new offering for exploration and production (E&P) companies. Oseberg provides lease and regulatory data for the energy sector, transforming unusable oil and gas public filings into actionable intelligence. This collaboration aims to enhance the capabilities of TGS' Well Data Analytics (WDA) platform by incorporating Oseberg's comprehensive lease data attributes, offering users a more robust analytical tool. The integration's first phase allows WDA users to access lease ownership information for Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma in the US, alongside other critical subsurface well data. By combining these datasets, E&P companies can streamline well planning, decrease legal and operational risks, and refine development strategies. The partnership is expected to provide merger and acquisition analysis, project site planning, investment evaluation and resource inventory management. TGS' WDA tool combines high-quality well data with adaptable search workflows, map-based visualisations, advanced plotting and customisable dashboards within a cloud-based application. TGS Well Data Products vice-president Carl Neuhaus said: 'Our partnership with Oseberg creates a full-service subsurface data offering combining the highest quality lease data with the most comprehensive geological and well database. 'Integrating Oseberg lease ownership data empowers our users to verify land ownership in minutes and use TGS data to quantify resource deliverability, improve development planning accuracy and quickly identify the most valuable opportunities. As always, these workflows are developed with customers to ensure seamless integration and hassle-free displacement of existing solutions.' TGS recently initiated a 3D seismic reprocessing project in the Krishna-Godavari Basin in India. The project aims to upgrade the value of existing seismic data through advanced processing techniques.

Reimagining Paul Revere's ride to address Trump-era threats
What fewer people realize is that the poem is not so much a nostalgic retelling of the Revolutionary War as a dire Longfellow, a staunch abolitionist, wrote the poem during the presidential campaign of 1860, perhaps the only period in American history more divided than our own. Abraham Lincoln won that election against Stephen Douglas and two other candidates Now the group Writers for Democratic Action has reimagined Longfellow's poem, just in time for the 250th anniversary of the shot heard 'round the world. Beginning Saturday, professional actors and ordinary citizens alike will perform free staged readings of a new one-act play, ' Advertisement 'I'm astounded by the power of reading it in light of our own moment,' said coauthor James Carroll, who wrote the script for 'Paul Revere Resists' with other WDA members. 'It's a perfect way to stamp the universe of Lexington and Concord with fresh meaning.' Advertisement The play is intentionally bare-bones, with a small cast and no props or costumes, meant to be shared in living rooms, church halls, and community centers as a way to muster resolve against President Trump's escalating threats to democracy. A planned performance at 'One of the problems of our moment is that we lack the language to explain to ourselves and each other what we're experiencing with Donald Trump,' said Carroll, 'and lo and behold, the language is right there in the Declaration of Independence.' Advertisement The performances are also meant to strike a blow for history, which Trump is doing his utmost to rewrite, threatening and defunding repositories of American memory from the Smithsonian Institution to the Museum of African American History In New England, we refer to the celebrations of America's founding as Patriots Day. But what does it mean to be a patriot at a time when, as one character in the play puts it, 'it feels dangerous just to lift up basic American values'? The long unfurling of 250th anniversary celebrations leading to July 4, 2026, is a fine opportunity to reclaim patriotism from its more jingoistic partisans and reconnect it to the ideals of freedom, equality, and the rule of law upon which the nation was established. Friday evening the bells at Old North Church Renée Loth's column appears regularly in the Globe.
