News verso #Wimbledon
Domani si riunisce la direzione del torneo per assegnare le wild card.
#Berrettini e Dimitrov hanno chiesto una wild card per giocare nel tabellone principale (quando hanno chiuso le iscrizioni Matteo non aveva dentro ancora i punti dei quarti del RG ed era fuori dai Top 100).
Berrettini è attualmente il secondo fuori dal main draw (il primo fuori è Molcan).
Se non ci saranno altri forfeit tra chi è per ranking nel main draw, Cazaux già fuori e considerato, Matteo Berrettini, ex finalista del torneo, dovrà giocare le qualificazioni se non gli verrà data una wild card (idem Dimitrov).
Il commitment del torneo decide domani e l'ufficialità arriverà il 15 giugno.
Altra news. Venus & Serena Williams giocheranno il doppio a Wimbledon con una wild card (già stata accolta la richiesta).
Curiosità. Agli U.S. Open si va verso un doppio misto stellare. Contati in corso per mettere in campo, a New York, Venus in coppia con #Sinner e Serena in coppia con Carlos Alcaraz.
https://t.co/aLIlyUqgZ0 sarà l'ultima recita di Venus a New York prima del ritiro ufficiale.

An amateur no more.
Two-time national champion for @AuburnMGolf, Jackson Koivun will forgo his senior season and turn professional this summer with his first pro start coming @JDClassic.
Confirmed that Victoria Mboko is out of Queen's doubles with a knee injury.
Terrible news for a very talented young player, and also means Serena Williams's comeback is over in London. She will now head to Berlin.
Knicks celebrity list for Game 4 includes Rainn Wilson, Jimmy Fallon, Jerry Seinfeld and Kevin Jonas along with the Celebrity Row usuals such as Ben Stiller and Tracy Morgan.
Patrick Mahomes’ initial rookie contract in 2017 was a 4-year, $16.4M deal.
The 10-year, $450M contract he signed in 2020 was groundbreaking, and he’s already earned well over $200M of it while the quarterback market has continued to skyrocket.
Now, the Chiefs are once again adjusting that deal to bring him more in line with the current QB market.
The new money on Patrick Mahomes’ deal is worth $239.05 million, with the total value now at $504.75 million from 2026-33, with the first four years being guaranteed at signing. All $504.75 million becomes guaranteed through contract mechanisms.
Mahomes can earn up to $522.25 through incentives and escalators. Beginning in 2027, when the new money begins, the deal averages $64M per year, setting a new NFL record for average annual value.
Record deal: The Chiefs are adding two years to Patrick Mahomes’ contract, tying him to Kansas City through the 2033 season at a value of $504.75 million, making it the first NFL deal valued at over a half-billion dollars, per @RapSheet and me.
Equity Sports CEO Chris Cabott, and Chiefs GM Brett Veach and his staff, put the finishing touches on the landmark agreement today.
Courtside tonight at MSG: Timothy Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Tracy Morgan, Tina Fey, JR Smith, Bernard King, Fat Joe, Mariska Hargitay, Derek Jeter, Justin Tuck, Eli Manning, Jason Bateman, DJ Khaled & Jadakiss, Rick Pitino, A-Rod & Michael Imperioli.
