Brit Mika Stojsavljevic won the girls’ singles at the US Open

Fellow rising stars Mingge Xu and 2024 US Open girls’ singles champion Mika Stojsavljevic will join Klugman, along with Francesca Jones, Harriet Dart, Jodie Burrage and Heather Watson.

Klugman and Stojsavljevic, both 16, and 17-year-old Xu are at the forefront of an exciting generation of British youngsters.

Stojsavljevic won the US Open junior title last year and Klugman also made the final round of Wimbledon qualifying 12 months ago.

Xu, meanwhile, has beaten two top-100 players on grass this month and is close to breaking into the top 300 in the women’s game.

Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has also been given a wild card after returning to the sport following the birth of her son.

As QB Will Howard begins new chapter with Steelers, he’s still ‘the guy’ in Ohio: ‘I’m always going to have a home here’

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — Will Howard is from Downingtown, Pennsylvania, and is starting his pro football career in Pittsburgh with the Steelers.But the 6-foot-4, 236-pound quarterback is larger than life in the next state over.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAlmost five months after helping Ohio State win its first national championship in 10 years, Howard returned to the Buckeye State last weekend, following the conclusion of the Steelers' mandatory minicamp. Through FlexWork Sports, Howard hosted a camp in Pickerington for kids ages 6-16.Howard walked onto the Pickerington North football field Saturday morning — the old home of his Ohio State and Steelers teammate, defensive end Jack Sawyer.

Mosaico, bandeiras e muito barulho: torcida do Wydad rouba a cena e ‘bota fogo’ em estreia morna do Manchester City

Apesar de serem a minoria dos mais de 37 mil presentes na estreia do Manchester City, os torcedores do Wydad roubaram a cena com uma festa impressionante na derrota por 2 a 0. Resultado a parte, os fãs de Marrocos promoveram um espetáculo com direito a mosaico, bandeira e muito barulho, literalmente incendiando a arquibancada do Lincoln Financial Fiield. Além de cantar o jogo todo, os torcedores do Wydad soltaram sinalizadores para criar uma onda de fumaça que invadiu o gramado. Nesse momento, um sinalizador foi atirado no campo.

Travis Kelce challenges his own Chiefs teammate and turns the team’s practice into a show

In a striking moment atKansas City's mandatory minicamp, Travis Kelce reaffirmed his identity, not just as a top-tier tight end, but as a cultural icon who refuses to tone down his flair for the sake of conformity. His bold celebration directly clashed with Harrison Butker's recent advocacy for subdued, respectful post-touchdown conduct. Essentially, the moment on the practice field wasn't just another catch; it was Kelce making a statement.The tension simmering in the locker room stems from two very different philosophies. Butker, the Chiefs' dependable kicker, recently voiced concerns about excessive celebrations. Without naming names, he questioned whether players would still celebrate if "our Lord was playing" and wondered if touchdown dances might be over the top. His pointed comments sparked curiosity: Would this more restrained mindset permeate the rest of the team?Kelce, never one to kowtow, delivered his response […]

Kapitán na MS klubů nepodal soupeřům ruku. Byl jsem zmatený, omlouval se

Fotbalisté si ruce před začátkem zápasu podávají prakticky vždycky. Jde o tradiční gesto fair play. Proto bylo chování norského obránce nepochopitelné nejen pro hráče River Plate, ale i pro jeho spoluhráče, kteří se se soupeřem běžně pozdravili.„Zapomněl jsem podat ruce, protože celá situace byla jiná než obvykle. Byl jsem zmatený a soustředěný na sebe a nepochopil jsem, co máme dělat. Proto jsem odešel bez podání ruky,“ vysvětloval po zápase na sociálních sítích třicetiletý Hoibraten.Zdá se, že jde o pouhou lacinou výmluvu. Pravdou ale je, že na mistrovství světa klubů v novém formátu došlo i k určitým změnám při nástupu hráčů na hřiště. Přicházejí jednotlivě po vyvolání svého jména a staví se i do jiné pozice, než bývá obvyklé. Je proto možné, že bývalý hráč Bodo/Glimt a Lillestromu pod tlakem okamžiku udělal chybu, za kterou se pak omluvil nejen soupeřům, ale i fanouškům argentinského velkoklubu.„Vypadá to, že mi na vás nebo na […]
