Iga Swiatek beats Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6-0 to win first Wimbledon title
Iga Swiatek has won the Wimbledon women's singles title for the first time, crushing opponent Amanda Anisimova in the most one-sided Wimbledon final for 114 years. Anisimova, playing in her first grand slam showpiece, failed to win a single game, with Swiatek racing to a 6-0 6-0 victory in only 57 minutes. A Wimbledon final has not been decided by such a scoreline since 1911. The only other instance at a grand slam came at the French Open in 1988. Swiatek has become the first Polish winner of a Wimbledon singles title in the open era, 13 years after her compatriot Agnieszka Radwanska lost to Serena Williams in the final. Anisimova's appearance marks a comeback to tennis, after the former teen prodigy stepped away from the sport for eight months in 2023 for mental health reasons. From the offset, the American player struggled to get her legs moving and arms swinging freely, unable to find her first serve. She twice screamed in frustration after mistakes in the opening game of the second set, and made 28 unforced errors in the 12 games. Swiatek, who breezed to victory, has won all five of her previous slam finals. It took her just 25 minutes to wrap up the first set, with Anisimova winning only nine points. Day 13 of Wimbeldon also saw British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool make Wimbledon history by winning the men's doubles title. The pair are the first all-British pairing to win the title since Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey lifted the trophy in 1936. On Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz will take on Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon 2025 Men's Singles Final.

Legendary high street chain teases ‘biblical' comeback in UK with ‘cryptic' posts sending millennials into meltdown
WHILE other outlets are pulling their shutters for the final time, one high street chain is set for a major comeback. The fashion retailer has teased a "biblical" comeback across the UK with a series of social media posts. 2 High street shoppers may see the return of a fan favourite very soon (stock image) Credit: PA While the "cryptic" online posts didn't confirm any exact details, fashion fans have shared their excitement over the potential return. The beloved shop has gone through a rollercoaster few years but now looks to be making a highly-anticipated comeback. Cryptic posts Topshop posted a picture of a store hanger on Instagram earlier this week. The beloved brand, which was purchased by Asos alongside Miss Selfridge in 2021, remained tight-lipped about the latest development. It simply captioned the post: "" The store's acquistion occurred after the collapse of its former owner Arcadia. After purchasing both fashion outlets for a combined £330 million, Asos sold 75% in Topshop to the Danish holding company Heartland. This deal, amounting to £135 million, also included a stake in Topshop's counterpart Topman. Topshop recently confirmed it plans to open up stores again this year. Michelle Wilson, MD at Topshop and Topman, told Drapers that the brand has something up its sleeve for August. Pull&Bear Opens New Flagship Store at Silverburn: Fashion Fans Celebrate in Glasgow! And with recent posts on the Topshop account hinting at a new development, this may not be far off. Recently, the brand posted a series of tennis balls with Topshop printed on them in preparation for the upcoming Wimbeldon final. "Game. Set. Topshop," the brand wrote in the caption of the cryptic post. High street return Topshop and Topman are set to return to the high street for autumn via a wholesale partner. 'We have something planned in August to bring Topshop back into real life again, with a more semi-permanent presence than the one-day pop-up,' the Managing Director said. Why the high street still rules! Fabulous' Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer shares her thoughts. I WAS 10 when I first discovered the utter joy of high-street shopping for clothes with my mum and nan. Going into town on Saturday became a family tradition – a girls' day out we would look forward to all week. My mum's favourite shop was M&S, where she would gaze at jackets with big shoulder pads and floral sundresses, while my nan would make a beeline for John Lewis and their classic coats and elegant court shoes. I was all over Tammy Girl – Etam's little sister – and Chelsea Girl, which was later rebranded to high-street fave River Island. I would spend hours in the changing rooms, watched keenly by my two cheerleaders, who gave the thumbs up – or thumbs down – on what I was trying on. Frilly ra-ra skirts, duster coats, polka dot leggings, puff balls, boob tubes… I tried them all, often making my nan howl with laughter. Fashion wasn't so fast back in the 1980s and every item was cherished and worn until it fell apart – literally – at the seams. At 18, I went to art college and my tastes became more refined. Extra cash from a part-time job in a bar meant I could move on to slightly more expensive stores, like Warehouse, Miss Selfridge and the mecca that was Topshop. I knew at this point I wanted to work in fashion because the high street had totally seduced me. One day, I wrote an article for a competition in a glossy mag about my love of retail therapy and my favourite LBD – and I won! That led me to where I am today – Fashion Director of Fabulous. It's not just me that loves the high street – big-name designers are fans, too. When Cool Britannia hit in the '90s, they all turned up in one big store. Designers at Debenhams was a stroke of genius by Debenhams CEO Belinda Earl, designer Ben de Lisi and fashion director Spencer Hawken, who introduced diffusion ranges from John Rocha, Matthew Williamson and Betty Jackson, to name a few. This meant we could all afford a bit of luxury and wear a well-known designer's signature style. Years later, I hosted a night with Debenhams and Fabulous for 250 readers, who were in awe meeting all the designers. It was a real career highlight for me. In 2004, H&M started rolling out their international designer collabs. Karl Lagerfeld was first, followed by Roberto Cavalli, Marni, Stella McCartney, Maison Martin Margiela, Sonia Rykiel, Comme des Garçons, Balmain, Versace and many, many more. I could barely contain myself! Then in 2007, Kate Moss launched her first collection with Topshop, with thousands queuing along London's Oxford Street. I remember sitting behind Ms Moss and Topshop boss Philip Green at a London Fashion Week Topshop Unique catwalk show. I had my three-year-old daughter, Frankie, in tow and we both made the news the next day after we were papped behind Kate, my supermodel girl crush. At the time, the high street was on fire. Who needed designer buys when Mango stocked tin foil trousers just like the designer Isabel Marant ones and you could buy a bit of Barbara Hulanicki's legendary brand Biba from Topshop? High street stores even started to storm London Fashion week. Although Topshop Unique had shown collections since 2001, in 2013 River Island showed its first collection in collaboration with global superstar Rihanna, who was flown in by a friend of mine on a private jet. KER-CHING! A whole new generation of high profile high street collabs followed. Beyoncé created Ivy Park with Topshop's Philip Green and I even flew to LA for Fabulous to shoot the Kardashian sisters in their bodycon 'Kollection' for Dorothy Perkins. I am pleased to say they were the absolute dream cover stars. Fast forward to 2024 and while the high street doesn't look exactly like it did pre-Covid, it has made a gallant comeback. Stores like M&S, Reserved and Zara, and designer collabs like Victoria Beckham X Mango and Rochelle Humes for Next are giving me all the feels. The supermarkets have really come into their own, too, smashing it with gorgeous collections that look expensive, but at prices that still allow us to afford the weekly shop. The last 30 years of high street fashion have been one big adventure for me. Bring on the next 30! 'In the shorter term that will be something with partner support and in the longer term we will do something standalone." Wilson said she was "excited to see Topshop back in person" and said their collaboration "will surprise people". In April this year, Topshop launched a pop-up at Defected Records and shoppers went wild for it. They recorded a sale every three minutes, which Topshop bosses have said is proof that there is demand for the adored store. Wilson added that they aren't trying to "recreate" the Topshop that millions knew and loved. She explained that the clothing store will be given a 2025 makeover to allow it to compete with the current climate. Shopper reactions "This could be an Oasis level comeback!! Biblical," wrote one excited Instagram user. "As someone who used to work in Topshop, this is everything," agreed another person. "Desperately looking for clues…. Is this what we ALL are hoping for?!" commented a third fan. "Please god get back and save the high street shopping experience," pleaded another shopper. "The world is healing," joked another Topshop enthusiast.

Expect The Unexpected : Birthday Boy Sunil Gavaskar Compares Rishabh Pant To This Tennis Star And Its Not From Big 3
Indian cricket Legend Sunil Gavaskar is celebrating his 76th birthday today on 10th June. The cricketing great covering India vs England Test series is in England and also went out to watch the enthralling Tennis action at Wimbledon. Gavaskar compared India's hard hitting batter and vice-captain Rishabh Pant to young tennis prodigy Carlos Alcaraz. Rishabh Pant has been in a stellar form in the ongoing Test series with Twin tons in the First Test while Alcaraz defeated Cameron Norrie to reach semis to play Taylor Fritz on Friday. Talking about Wimbeldon, Gavaskar said on Star Sports, "Every time I am in England around this time, I go to Wimbledon, but I hardly go to Lord's if India isn't playing there. So yes, one could say that I come here more often than I go to Lord's. I would like Djokovic to win because it would be his 25th Grand Slam title. Nobody has ever won 25 majors, so that would be fantastic. My heart says Djokovic, but I guess my mind says Alcaraz. Also, Alcaraz, simply because I think Sinner is injured. Whether he's going to be 100% for the remainder of the tournament, we don't know.' 'Alcaraz is moving around so well, and he's got all the shots in the book. He can be a bit of a showman sometimes, trying those drop shots when you think he should be finishing the point. But that's what people come to watch, it's like watching Rishabh Pant. With Pant, you have to expect the unexpected. Similarly, with Alcaraz, you have got to expect the unexpected. That's what makes him so exciting," Gavaskar added. The Cricketing greats have been making a headline at Wimbeldon 2025 as people of different walks of life along with these cricket premadons were seen at the Royal Box. Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Ajinkya Rahane, Deepak Chahar along with Sunil Gavaskar were spotted seeing tennis. The cricketing royalty shared their thoughts on the thrilling tennis action while also talked about their favourite tennis stars. Virat Kohli stated that only India vs Pakistan match could match the intense action at the Wimbeldon else cricketing stadiums are less intimidating. Virat along with his wife Anushka was present to watch the Men's Round of 16 match between Novak Djokovic and Australia's Alex de Minaur on Monday.

Amanda Holden wows in ‘beautifully tailored' co-ord from celebrity-loved brand
Amanda Holden raves about her 'beautifully tailored' co-ord, and the Wimbledon-ready look hails from an affordable brand loved by Molly-Mae and Coleen Rooney Amanda Holden has been nailing the fashion game with look after look recently. We love her recent Wimbledon whites midi dress from Karen Millen that clings to all the right places, plus her latest floral number from Nadine Merabi, which is perfect for summer weddings. And her most recent tailored stripe co-ord is another outfit that immediately caught our attention. Posting the look to her Instagram story, Amanda confirmed the full set is from female-founded brand and celebrity-loved Odd Muse. The exact set includes The Ultimate Muse Pin Stripe Shirt, priced at £65, and the matching Ultimate Muse Striped Woven Trousers, priced at £95. This timeless pinstripe co-ord is the perfect addition to any wardrobe, as it's versatility allows you to wear it to virtually every occasion. Amanda raved that the reason she loves this co-ord so much is because it's "beautifully tailored", which makes the set look more expensive than the price tag. The oversized, boxy nature of the shirt is balanced out by the wide-leg, slightly kick flared trousers that help to elongate the legs and create a flattering silhouette. Keeping the look low-key, Amanda styled her set with a simple pair of white court heels. Whether you're heading into the office, sitting courtside at Wimbeldon or out for dinner and drinks with the girls, this is a set that will be reeling in the compliments. Odd Muse already boasts huge celebrity fans from Molly-Mae and Coleen Rooney to Louisa Lytton and Amanda Holden. The brand is known for its minimalist, chic and elevated basics, from cinched-in waist mini dresses to tailored matching sets and simple blouses. Just last year, Molly-Mae had everyone talking about her Wimbledon attire, and it was all thanks to Odd Muse's The Ultimate Muse Collar Maxi Dress, priced at £125. Fans were quick to praise her look. 'Omg the epitome of a Wimbledon lady right there wow' wrote one, whilst another added: 'The @oddmuselondon dress is stunning on you!!!' A third begged for her outfit details, writing: 'Where's this dress from' whilst a fourth praised 'Obsessed with this look and that bag is unreal'. And after selling out, thanks to the Molly-Mae effect of course, this dress is back in stock in all sizes just in time for the beginning of Wimbledon next week.
