It's a tough draw. Still, she's optimistic and grateful.
'This sport has given me everything,' she said before her first round draw. 'It gave me a free college education. My best friends play tennis. I've gotten to see the world and travel the world, not just as a tourist, but with a purpose. And that's something I take to heart, a lot.
"I really enjoy this game. It's giving me everything and I think that's why in some of these big moments, I was able to pull through in the last few weeks because I really enjoy being out there. It's so much fun.'

Texas Tech's new money sways 5-Star Felix Ojo as Longhorns loses another recruiting battle
🚨BREAKING🚨 5-star OT Felix Ojo has committed to Texas Tech👆Ojo is the program's highest-rated commitment in history!Read: Texas has lost yet another recruiting battle. And this is a big one ... literally. Five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo announced Friday he is committing to the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The 6-foot-6, 275-pound prospect reportedly received a huge offer from Texas Tech mega-booster and Matador Club founder Chad Campbell. The Mansfield, TX Lake Ridge High School standout was thought to be a Texas lean for weeks with most major recruiting analysts projecting him to the 40 Acres. Last week, Ojo listed Texas and Ohio State as the leaders over Florida and Michigan. Texas Tech wasn't even mentioned. Ojo did struggle at the Rivals Five-Star Challenge against elite competition. So much so, the blue chipper issued a statement afterwards. Did that impact his Fourth of July decision? Did Texas back off or lower its offer? Did Tech see an opportunity to step in? It definitely sounds like Texas Tech gave the recruit a historic offer. Reports started trickling in on Thursday afternoon of the about face and by nightfall, the "in-the-know" recruiting analysts all changed their crystal ball predictions to Tech. Whatever happened behind the scenes, Ojo is heading to Lubbock and Texas has lost their No. 1 recruiting priority. Ojo makes the sixth high priority Texas target to commit elsewhere in the past week.

Georgia Commit Under Fire For Texas Comment After Snubbing Longhorns
Georgia Commit Under Fire For Texas Comment After Snubbing Longhorns originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian has shown his ability to recruit in-state, with their biggest addition in the 2026 class being four-star EDGE Jermaine Bishop, who's the No. 11 player in Texas. Advertisement However, there's a good amount of players they've lost out on, including four-star cornerback Chace Calicut, who took an official visit with the Longhorns on June 20 and named them a finalist, along with Georgia and Michigan. On June 27, he pledged himself to the Bulldogs, where he's set to play under head coach Kirby Smart. On Thursday, in a social media post, he seemingly took a shot at the Longhorns, saying "The best in Texas leaves Texas. Remember that! #GoDawgs," while wearing a Georgia uniform. The post has since caught the attention of many Texas fans, who have not shied away from voicing their displeasure toward Calicut. Advertisement "Ah yes burn bridges. That won't come back to bite you eventually," said one comment. "Ones that leave texas for georgia end up transferring after 1-2 years. Remember that #TexasForever," said another. "Don't understand the concept of hating where your home state," a third added. A fourth stated, "You're a clown chasing a bag. Means you have no loyalty." "Says nobody. Real Texans play for teams in there state," a fifth continued. "I get looking for clicks from the Georgia fans but this is just simply not true," said another.

Wimbledon 2025: Jack Draper dumped out in second round by spectacular Marin Cilic
Jack Draper crashed out of Wimbledon to the world No83 Marin Cilic as he was beaten in a four-set thriller on Court No1, 6-4 6-3 1-6 6-4. Draper had worked his way up the rankings to No4 in the world and had a decent draw, so plenty had tipped him to go far in the tournament. Advertisement However, the 23-year-old Englishman is out on the Championships' fourth day after failing to contain Cilic, the big-hitting Croatian, who won the US Open in 2014, and reached the final at SW19 in 2017. Draper is still yet to make it past the second round at Wimbledon at this stage in 2022 and 2024 as well as this year. The Sutton-born British No1 was seen as the greatest home hope of Wimbledon 2025 but is just the latest in a long line of top seeds on both the men's and women's sides of the draw to exit the tournament at the first or second round. His conqueror, 36-year-old Cilic, is a former world No3 but has only recently returned to the top 100 after falling outside the top 700 due to persistent knee problems. Advertisement Cilic's appearance at Wimbledon this year follows a four-year absence and comes after he became the oldest grass-court champion in Challenger Tour history with victory at the Nottingham Open last month. 'Where I was three years ago, I can't even describe,' he said in his on-court interview following his scalp. 'It has been a long journey. To be able to come back and play against Jack with this sort of crowd is just incredible.' Draper was pushed throughout by Cilic, who he admitted afterwards 'fully deserved to win'. The Croatian was 0-40 up on Draper's serve at 4-3 but Draper showed guts to win five straight points and serve out for 4-4. Advertisement The first set ended with a break of serve for 6-4, however, and Draper was again broken in his first service game of the second set, which he lost 6-3. Spectators inside Court No1 were largely of a Draper persuasion, as expected, and their rallying cries seemed to boost the world No4 in the third set, when he broke for 3-1 in a game where Cilic was warned by the umpire for a time violation after taking too long on a first serve. Draper soon broke again for 5-1, taking the set 6-1 to stay in the match. However, he could not knock the ace-laden Croatian off serve in the final set and was broken himself in its final game as Cilic won the match to set up a third-round meeting with the unseeded Spaniard Jaume Munar. Advertisement In beating Draper, Cilic became the first Croat to earn top-five wins at all four Slam events. Defeat for Draper was a tough pill to swallow, but the Englishman's earnest review in his post-match press conference was that he had not played well enough to win, and that Cilic fully deserved victory.
