Wimbledon: Naomi Osaka loses to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the 3rd round
LONDON (AP) — Naomi Osaka might be more comfortable on grass courts these days but she will once again leave Wimbledon in the third round after a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 loss to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Friday. Osaka is a former No. 1 now ranked 50th and a four-time Grand Slam champion, all on hard courts — she won the U.S. Open and Australian Open twice apiece. Osaka arrived at the All England Club this year having lost three of her last four matches at the place and with a career record of 5-4 there. Her best showing was getting to the third round in 2017 and 2018; she missed the tournament in 2021, 2022 and 2023. From 4-all in the third set, Pavluchenkova grabbed eight of the match's last 10 points, holding at love, then breaking in the final game with the help of a trio of forehand unforced errors by Osaka. 'A majority of you were cheering for Naomi, but that's OK,' Pavlyuchenkova, who turned 34 on Thursday, told the crowd at Court No. 2. 'I'm mentally tough, so that didn't bother me at all. The opposite: It gave me energy.' Pavlyuchenkova, who is ranked 53rd, was the 2021 runner-up at the French Open, and Friday's victory moved her into the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time since she was a quarterfinalist nine years ago.

Smith hits 80-ball century as England counterattacks to 249-5 against India in 2nd test
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Mohammed Siraj removed Joe Root and Ben Stokes in successive balls before England counterattacked through Harry Brook and century-maker Jamie Smith to reach 249-5 at lunch on Day 3 of the second test against India on Friday. England trailed by 338 runs in response to India's 587 all out but Brook (91) and Smith (102) were set on a good pitch at Edgbaston, with their partnership up to 165. Behind 1-0 in the five-match series, India looked like steamrolling England after reducing the home team to 84-5 thanks to Siraj's double on the second over of the day. The pacer dismissed England's best batter — Root (22) — by enticing a nick down the leg side, with wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant taking a diving catch. Stokes arrived in the middle but was soon slowly walking back to the dressing room after a steeply rising and seaming delivery from Siraj came off the shoulder of the England captain's bat and flashed to Pant. England was rocked but Smith played as if there was no pressure, smashing three sixes as well as 14 fours — the last of which came in the final over before lunch and brought up his second test century. It came off just 80 balls, making it the third fastest by an English player. England was going at 6.37 runs an over and was racing toward an initial target of 388 — the score needed to avoid the follow-on. Brook, who resumed with Root with England 77-3, was more circumspect but had still hit 11 fours and a six in a 127-ball knock. England won the first test at Headingley. ___ AP cricket:

A new platform is connecting sports, arts instructors with students from across the Greater Toronto Area
is a new platform that recently launched in GTA and is connecting local students and instructors for affordable lessons. CTV's Pat Foran reports. A new platform that recently launched in the Greater Toronto Area is connecting local students with instructors for affordable lessons for things like golf, tennis, and pickleball. allows students to search for instructors within their area who are offering lessons at different price points and skill levels. 'It's not as crazy as tennis and it's a bit more of a step up from ping pong. It also gets you moving and people like the social aspect of it,' James Mitchell, a pickleball instructor with told CTV News. Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in Canada. It's something people of all ages can play and requires just a few lessons to get the hang of it. Mitchell told CTV News he's been offering his coaching services on the platform, connecting him with players he can coach on evenings and weekends, while making some extra money at the same time. Nicolas Mazomenos has played tennis in the past, but wanted to learn a different sport and decided to give pickleball a shot. 'It's going great. It's my second lesson and I feel like I learned a lot,' said Mazomenos, one of Mitchell's students. 'I got lucky and got paired with a great person, I feel like I've known him forever.' Maaz Patel only started golfing a year ago but enjoys the game and wanted to take lessons to get to the next level. 'I just want to play consistent and if I'm going out there with people from work, or with my friends I don't want to look bad,' said Patel. 'I just want to improve my bad shots.' As for Craig Cook, he coaches golf and finds it's a way to share his love for the sport and earn extra money teaching part-time. 'I teach all ranges of golfers, so beginners, intermediate and more advanced,' Cook said. 'I also offer playing lessons on the course.' How does it work? When CTV News spoke with founder Tyler Maloney, he said that following the success of the website—which launched in San Diego, it is now offering services in Toronto. 'We weren't really planning international expansion but we started having Canadian coaches sign up and they wanted to teach and then we thought we should double down on this,' Maloney said. According to Maloney, students can find local coaches offering lessons at a price point and skill level that they want, and the first lesson is always free. So far, the most popular sports on are golf, tennis, and pickleball. However, they're hoping to bring more activities that are on the U.S. platform to Canada. 'We just had a coach sign up to teach comedy writing. Music theory, rock climbing, beach volleyball, juggling are (also) a variety of things that people sign up to teach,' Maloney said. Lessons can start at about $50 and increase depending on the instructor's skill level. From each lesson booked, the website takes a cut. However, there are no fees to check the website, so you can browse for free to see what is being offered. hopes to expand across Canada in the future and encourages more coaches to apply online.
