French Open: Elina Svitolina saves match points and beats 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini
PARIS (AP) — Elina Svitolina saved three match points and came back to eliminate 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1 on Sunday, earning her fifth French Open quarterfinal appearance. The 13th-seeded Svitolina, who is from Ukraine, is a three-time Grand Slam semifinalist — getting that far twice at Wimbledon and once at the U.S. Open — but is 0-4 so far in the quarterfinals at Roland-Garros. She'll try to go a step further on Tuesday, when she will face either three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek or 2022 Wimbledon champion Elina Rybakina. They were scheduled to play each other next at Court Philippe-Chatrier. The No. 4-seeded Paolini entered Sunday on a career-best nine-match winning streak, including a run to the title on red clay at the Italian Open. A year ago, she reached her first major final at the French Open, losing to Swiatek, then also made it to the championship match at Wimbledon, where she lost to Barbora Krejcikova. Against Svitolina, Paolini served for the victory while leading by a set and a break at 5-3 in the second. But the Italian got broken at 15 there. She then held her first two match points while ahead 5-4, 15-40 as Svitolina served. Paolini missed a forehand on the initial chance to end things, and a backhand on the next. In the ensuing tiebreaker, Paolini once again was a single point from winning — and once again failed to come through, this time when Svitolina ended a 14-stroke exchange with a volley winner. From there, Svitolina was in control, racing to a 4-0 lead in the third set. She is quite comfortable on clay, where she has earned a tour-leading 16 of her 27 wins this season. Svitolina also defeated Paolini at the Australian Open in January. What else happened at the French Open on Sunday? In the day's first men's match, Tommy Paul beat No. 25 Alexei Popyrin 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 to become the first American man in the quarterfinals at Roland-Garros since Andre Agassi in 2003. The 28-year-old Paul, who is seeded 12th, was coming off consecutive five-setters but breezed to this victory. Who is playing Monday at Roland-Garros? The fourth round is scheduled to conclude on Day 9, with No. 1 Jannik Sinner, 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic and four American women in action: No. 2 Coco Gauff, No. 3 Jessica Pegula and No. 7 Madison Keys vs. Hailey Baptiste. ___ More AP tennis:

Dotemu's CEO on how it makes new games that feel retro
Dotemu is on a pretty good run. The video game studio and publisher has been around since 2007, and much of its history is largely working on remakes and remasters of older games. But it's also been involved with major hits in the form of sequels and new games that are in the spirit of older classics, including Streets of Rage 4 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. All of that work is culminating in what looks to be a promising 2025, with three new but classics-inspired games: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, a new side-scroller for the series; Marvel Cosmic Invasion, an arcade-y beat-'em-up; and Absolum, an original beat-'em-up with roguelike elements. 'We're open to everything,' CEO Cyrille Imbert tells The Verge. Despite his title, Imbert says his job involves acting like an executive producer to bring together concepts that answer specific needs for franchises. Before Shredder's Revenge 's 2022 release, for example, there hadn't been a good side-scrolling TMNT game for 'a while,' he says. (Turtles in Time, which helped inspire the game, came out in 1991.) 'We were convinced that there was a need for that.' There was: the game sold 1 million copies in its first week, developer Tribute Games said at the time. Dotemu takes on 'most of the risk' of a project based on an existing franchise, Imbert says, meaning that while the company needs to convince a franchise owner to get on board, Dotemu typically finances everything and is responsible for finding a studio to execute a concept. 'From A to Z, we are in control of the project, but we take the risk from A to Z as well,' explains Imbert. 'Sometimes the studio will also participate financially, but it's fairly rare, or it's usually a minority of the total spending.' With the new Ninja Gaiden game, for example, Imbert says he was familiar with the 3D iterations of the franchise on Xbox, and he also saw the success of recent action-platformers like The Messenger. So, he started conversations with Koei Tecmo, and then worked with The Game Kitchen, the developer of Blasphemous, on a pitch. 'That's the story, basically,' Imbert says. For Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Imbert says that following Streets of Rage 4, 'lots of people' had been asking for a new X-Men game that was like what you used to find in arcades. 'We knew there was a need and that people would really like it,' he says, especially if it got a similar treatment as Streets of Rage 4 or Shredder's Revenge. The idea was 'very obvious' to the Tribute Games team as well, so Dotemu and Tribute made a pitch to Marvel Games. Absolum, as a fully original game, is different from its other titles. From a pure business perspective, it's a way for Dotemu to diversify its lineup so that the company doesn't rely entirely on licensed games. Internally, the Dotemu team felt like they could do their own thing, and by making it inspired by classics, it would still fit in Dotemu's lineup, Imbert says. They also wanted to work with Guard Crush, which worked on Streets of Rage 4, on another beat-'em-up. It all adds up to what's going to be a busy year for the company. It has three games that show the different approaches it has to making these kinds of experiences, and all of them were chosen for a specific reason. 'That's how we're going to be proud of what we do.'

Roberto Coin's new global brand ambassador, Dakota Johnson, in new ad campaign Italian fine jewelry brand, Roberto Coin, has named actress and advocate Dakota Johnson as its new Global Brand Ambassador. The announcement was made May 29 during an event in New York where the brand also unveiled a new advertising campaign featuring Johnson. The new global campaign starring Johnson is photographed by award-winning British fashion photographer and filmmaker, Craig McDean, known for his raw, unfiltered approach capturing the essence of his subjects with natural lighting and minimal retouching. The campaign will run through May 2027. The photography with Johnson is set against the backdrop of Venice. The company says the campaign 'captures the fusion of classic Italian beauty and contemporary elegance that defines Roberto Coin.' Roberto Coin's new ad campaign places Dakota Johnson against the backdrop of Venice Roberto Coin, who founded his eponymous brand and serves as creative director, said that Johnson's selection as brand ambassador ushers in a dynamic new chapter for the brand, highlighting its continued evolution through bold storytelling and artistry. 'Dakota Johnson is a true original I love her expressions—an artist with authenticity, depth, and a unique ability to connect,' Coin said. 'We are proud to welcome her to the Roberto Coin family and to collaborate on a campaign that speaks to the heart of who we are.' Johnson, 35, has been a professional actor for more than two decades. The daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, she appeared in her first role at the age of five in 'Crazy in Alabama,' directed by her then-stepfather Antonio Banderas, and starring her mother. Since then, she has appeared constantly in starring and supporting roles in film and television. She is probably best known for playing the lead role in the erotic 'Fifty Shades' film series. Most recently, she starred in the 2024 film, 'Madame Web.' Johnson also is a vocal advocate for mental health awareness. Venice is the inspiration and soul of Roberto Coin's new campaign starring Dakota Johnson Venice serves as both the inspiration and the soul of this campaign, Coin said, as his connection to this city is deeply personal. Born in Venice, its essence has profoundly shaped his creativity over the years, he said, adding that the city's rich history, majestic architecture and vibrant artistic culture have long influenced his designs and inspired many of his collections. The campaign, features video and still photography with Johnson wearing pieces from the brand's most iconic collections: Love in Verona, Venetian Princess, Navarra, Obelisco, Tiaré and Cobra. Released in two phases, the campaign's first half will launch this month, with the second installment debuting in May 2026. The full campaign will run through May 2027 across global platforms. 'I've always believed that jewelry tells a story—of who you are, where you've been, and what you love,' Johnson said. 'Roberto Coin's pieces are full of depth and meaning, and I'm honored to help bring that spirit to life through this collaboration. There's romance, strength, and bold femininity in every design.' In addition to the campaign, Johnson will make global appearances and participate in creative initiatives for Roberto Coin. The announcement of Johnson and the new advertising campaign comes a year after Roberto Coin's North America business division was acquired by luxury watch and jewelry retailer, Watches of Switzerland for $130 million. At the time of the acquisition, Watches of Switzerland said Roberto Coin has more than 400 points-of-sale with department stores, jewelry chains and independent jewelers, making it the sixth largest jewelry brand in the U.S. by sales. Roberto Coin S.p.A., founded in Vicenza, Italy, is one of the most recognized fine jewelry brands in the world, with operations in 60 countries.
