🔥 Serena Williams will play singles at Wimbledon!

❌ He couldn’t get it done
The day’s biggest storyline ended against Zverev: Taylor Fritz beat Sasha again and denied him a place in the final of his home ATP 500, 6-7, 6-4, 7-5 🫡
A tight match, with a worrying medical timeout for Zverev in set one.
😔 Grigor Dimitrov’s tough reality
The former World No. 3 is now down to No. 169 in the ATP rankings.
In 2026, he has won just four matches — two of them at the Dublin Challenger, where he has already been eliminated.
Can we still expect one last run from Grigor? 🥹
😂 Tennis economics, explained
Halle and London champions get the same prize money: $555K
But after taxes, the Halle winner takes home about $378K, while the London champion keeps around $210K
Turns out, it’s not just about winning — it’s about where you win 👀

😢 Wimbledon isn't pet-friendly
Players won't be allowed to bring pets to the tournament, with exceptions only for guide and service dogs.
A sharp contrast to Paris, where Mirra Andreeva celebrated with Luna and Aryna Sabalenka's dog even got its own accreditation 👀
🏀 The NBA Finals keep breaking records

🔥 MIRRA ANDREEVA IS A GRAND SLAM CHAMPION
Mirra produced a flawless performance in the Paris final, defeating Maja Chwalinska 6–3, 6–2 in just 1 hour 23 minutes to become only the fourth Russian woman to win Roland Garros!

📍 The strangest Slam
The Paris major keeps surprising: just like in the women’s draw, a player ranked outside the Top 100 has reached the men’s semis.
Arnaldi also became only the second man in the Open Era after Nadal to make a Slam SF via retirement 🤷
⚡️ This Polish qualifier is making history!
Before the 2026 Paris clay Slam, Maja Chwalinska had never gone past R2 at a major. Now she’s into the final four after beating Anna Kalinskaya 7-6, 6-3 in 1h55 — with Shnaider or Sabalenka next.
Unreal run 💯
🔥 A Grand Slam quarterfinal is just the baseline for Aryna!
Sabalenka has become the first woman since prime Serena Williams to reach the quarterfinals at 14 consecutive Grand Slams.

🤫 Talked his way into the biggest fine in tournament history...
After losing to Moise Kouamе, Paraguayan tennis player Daniel claimed a male umpire would’ve handled the crowd pressure better. Organizers hit back fast: he’s now losing half of his €130K Paris earnings 🎾💸
🎾 Zverev proved the favorite status for Roland Garros
Alexander Zverev defeated Jesper de Jong 7–6, 6–4, 6–1 to reach the Roland Garros quarterfinals for the 8th time in his career.
