Barbora Krejcikova wins Wimbledon by beating Jasmine Paolini for her second Grand Slam trophy

LONDON (AP) — Barbora Krejcikova has won Wimbledon for her second Grand Slam title with a 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 victory over Jasmine Paolini in the final. Krejcikova is a 28-year-old from the Czech Republic who added Saturday’s trophy to her championship at the French Open in 2021. She was unseeded in Paris back then and was only the 31st of 32 seeds at the All England Club after illness and a back injury this season limited her to a 7-9 record entering this tournament. Krejcikova is the eighth woman to leave Wimbledon as the champion in the past eight editions of the event. The seventh-seeded Paolini also was the runner-up at the French Open last month.

Spain phenom Lamine Yamal has electrified Euro 2024. In hometown, family and friends not surprised

MATARO, Spain (AP) — Spain’s teenage phenom Lamine Yamal has taken the European Championship by storm by helping his team reach Sunday’s final against England. His family and friends back home are proud but not surprised. Yamal’ meteoric rise began as soon as he could kick a ball according to his people who remember his start in soccer. Yamal’s father Mounir Nasraoui says “I always thought he would get this far.” Son of a Moroccan father and mother from Equatorial Guinea, soccer’s next big talent is also the new face of an increasingly multi-cultural Spain.

Spain and England to contest Euro 2024 final in a former Nazi stadium where Jesse Owens won gold

BERLIN (AP) — Spain and England will play the European Championship final on Sunday in an imposing stadium with a dark history. Built for the 1936 Olympic Games, Berlin’s Olympic stadium still bears the scars of World War II and contains relics from its Nazi past. But the Olympiastadion, as it’s known in German, is also associated with the rebirth of a democratic Germany after the war. It hosted matches during the 1974 World Cup in what was then West Germany and again at the 2006 World Cup, 16 years after German reunification.

Novak Djokovic is 37 and had knee surgery last month but faces Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final

LONDON (AP) — Novak Djokovic is 37 and had knee surgery last month but still is back in the Wimbledon men’s final against Carlos Alcaraz. They will meet on Sunday in a rematch of the 2023 final at the All England Club. Alcaraz won that one in five sets for one of his three Grand Slam titles. He is just 21 and is 3-0 in major finals. Djokovic will be trying to equal Roger Federer’s men’s record of eight Wimbledon championships and collect a 25th Slam singles trophy overall. That would give Djokovic more than any player in the history of tennis. He and Margaret Court are currently tied with 24.

Orioles’ Heston Kjerstad goes on the 7-day concussion list a day after being hit in the head

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles put outfielder Heston Kjerstad on the seven-day concussion injured list, less than 24 hours after he was hit in the helmet by a pitch. The Orioles initially penciled in Kjerstad to start Saturday against the New York Yankees. Then they released a revised lineup without him. Moments before the beginning of the game, they announced his move to the IL. Baltimore recalled outfielder Kyle Stowers from Triple-A Norfolk. Kjerstad was hit around the ear flap by a 97 mph pitch from New York’s Clay Holmes in the bottom of the ninth Friday night. Benches cleared soon after that.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sánchez is set for his first All-Star Game appearance as the replacement for Chris Sale. The Atlanta lefty is scheduled to start for the Braves in the final game before the break. The game is Tuesday night at the home of the Texas Rangers. The Phillies have an MLB-leading eight All-Stars. The Phillies have three All-Stars in their rotation, but only Sánchez has a chance to participate. Right-hander Zack Wheeler had already been ruled out because of back spasms, and lefty Ranger Suárez is out for the same reason. Suárez was replaced by Atlanta’s Max Fried.

Princess of Wales set to attend Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday in rare public appearance

However, she will not attend Saturday’s women’s final between Jasmine Paolini and Barbora Krejcikova.

Lionel Messi looks to lead Argentina to record 16th Copa America title in duel with Colombia

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Lionel Messi is one win from leading Argentina to a record 16th Copa America title. Colombia will do everything in its power to make sure that doesn’t happen in a matchup that pits the juggernaut against the surging force in the final. It’ll happen Sunday night at Hard Rock Stadium, which hosted two group stage matches and will be the site of seven games during the 2026 World Cup. Ahead of the match, both sides expressed safety concerns after Uruguay’s Darwin Núñez and a handful of his teammates went into the stands amid a physical brawl between fans at Bank of America Stadium.
