Tsitsipas parts company with coach Ivanisevic
"As we are now following our separate ways, I have only respect for Goran - not just for what he's achieved in tennis, but also for who he is as a person."Tsitsipas has been as high as number three in the world and was runner-up to Djokovic at the 2021 French Open and 2023 Australian Open.He is currently 29th in the rankings and has not gone beyond the second round of a major since last year's French Open."I've talked to him a lot of times. If he solves some things outside of tennis, then he'll return to where he belongs," Ivansevic told Serbian outlet Sportklub after Tsitsipas' Wimbledon exit."I have never seen a more unprepared player in my life. With this knee, I am three times more fit than him. This is really bad."Ivansevic also had a short spell working with former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina at the start of the year.

Caroline Wozniacki announces major personal news one year on from ex Rory McIlroy's divorce drama
Caroline Wozniacki has welcomed her third child with retired NBA forward and husband David Lee, the tennis star has announced. Wozniacki, 35, shared the heartwarming news on Instagram three months after revealing that she and Lee, 42, were expecting another baby. The loved-up couple, who tied the knot back in June 2019 after getting engaged two years earlier, already have a three-year-old daughter, Olivia, and a two-year-old son, James. And the former Australian Open champion announced Saturday that they have expanded their family again following the birth of son Max. Alongside an adorable photo of her two other children holding the newborn baby in their arms, Wozniacki wrote on Instagram: 'Max Wozniacki Lee, born July 26, 2025! Mom and baby are healthy and our family couldnt be happier!' Wozniacki's latest child with Lee, a former NBA All-Star power forward who played for the New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors amongst others, comes almost a year on from ex-fiance Rory McIlroy 's shocking divorce drama. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Caroline Wozniacki (@carowozniacki) McIlroy was in a relationship with the Grand Slam winner for three years before dramatically breaking off their engagement in 2014 after admitting he was not ready for marriage. Three years later he did tie the knot with current wife Erica Stoll. Last year, however, the five-time major champion filed to divorce Stoll after serving her with papers at their home in Florida, only to U-turn on that proposal less than a month later. Rumors suggested that McIlroy had been having some form of a relationship with CBS Sports' Amanda Balionis while they were both out on tour. None of these rumors have been proven and neither Balionis nor McIlroy have outright addressed them. By June, less than a full month after Stoll was served, the filing was withdrawn and the couple have remained together. A sporting super-couple, McIlroy and Wozniacki were together between 2011 and 2013 before he ended the relationship when he said he was not ready for marriage. The duo had sent out wedding invitations after a New Year's Eve proposal in Sydney and Wozniacki posted: 'Happy New Year everyone! Rory and I started 2014 with a bang! I said YES!!!!' But only months later, McIlroy changed his mind. At the time, he put out a statement, reading: 'There is no right way to end a relationship that has been so important to two people. 'The problem is mine. The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn't ready for all that marriage entails. 'I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we've had. I will not be saying anything more about our relationship in any setting.' Wozniacki has since admitted to being stunned at the way in which the break-up was handled. She previously told Graham Bensinger: 'I was shocked. I thought at least I would get a face-to-face or something, but there was nothing. It was a phone call, and I did not hear from him again. It kind of just ended.

Noa Lynn van Leuven vows not to be driven out of darts with dream Ally Pally return on mind
The 28-year-old is determined to enjoy the game again and wants another dream shot at the World Championships Determined Noa-Lynn van Leuven insists she won't be driven out of darts as she targets a dream return to the Ally Pally. The 28-year-old is back on the major stage at Blackpool for the Betfred Women's World Matchplay. Van Leuven has been happy to go under the radar and out of the spotlight this time around following last year's intense attention. As the first transgender player to compete in a televised PDC tournament against men at the Grand Slam before heading to the World Championships, van Leuven had felt searing scrutiny. But she's back in Blackpool having won back-to-back April events in Rosmalen and won't be deterred as she explained: 'No, I love this game too much and why would I let anyone else ruin my passion for darts? I just want to play darts. 'It feels amazing to be back. It's such an iconic place to play at. Last year, I just lacked a bit of confidence, I guess. I've been gaining a lot of stage experience now, so hopefully I can bring my A game to the stage this time. 'It was quiet for the past few weeks and that's actually quite nice. I've done a bit less media beforehand. I guess this year is just about trying to enjoy life and getting my mind right again, so I don't have that big of goals in darts. 'I'm feeling better, yeah. Before the Grand Slam, it was really good to read those kind of messages in the newspapers. If you have a lot of people going up against you, it's not a great feeling. But if you get the likes of them [Humphries/Van Gerwen], it sure helps. 'I'm just here to play my game. I want to win a few games. If I win three games, that would be great. "I've been taking some time to just relax, get my mind right, just try to enjoy life and find the nice things in life. So I've taken a bit of time away from darts, but I have practised in between and I think my game is on. 'It's okay. I'm trying to find that balance and I'm trying to find and enjoy the nice things in life. I want to enjoy darts again.' Van Leuven has targeted the Ally Pally again and continued: 'I would love to be back at Worlds. I was there the day before [playing Kevin Doets] and, when I walked into the venue, I was like: Oh, is this it? "On TV it looked so much bigger, but if you were in a room, how many people does it fit? Like 4,000? That's quite a lot. 'But it's amazing to play on that stage and I felt so comfortable Kevin on that stage. So yeah, it's just a good experience.'

Adorable moment tennis star Anna Kalinskaya's pet dog storms the court
Russian tennis star Anna Kalinskaya celebrated reaching the final of the DC Open with the help of her pet Bella after the dog twice stormed the court in Washington DC. On Saturday night, the 26-year-old secured a 6-4 6-3 semifinal win over British star Emma Raducanu - and she was soon joined by Bella. The dog followed her owner around the court - tail wagging - before being hoisted into the air as the crowd cheered the new darling of the DC Open. Only a day earlier, Bella - who even has her own credentials for the tournament - had again found her way on to the court after Kalinskaya beat No 4 seed Clara Tauson. As the Russian packed her bags following the straight-sets win, cameras caught the small dog sprinting across the court. The puppy, wearing a pink harness and dragging along a pink leash, ran straight for Kalinskaya - much to the amusement of the crowd in DC. The world No 39 was briefly unaware that she had a visitor, with the dog standing behind its oblivious owner while she gathered her possessions. VIP: Earlier on Friday, Bella watched the quarterfinal from her own seat in the Russian's box Eventually, however, Kalinskaya scooped up her pet and used its paw to 'wave' to the crowd at the DC Open, which serves as one of the warm-up events for the US Open. The Russian player then carried Bella over to her team before continuing to celebrate the quarterfinal win. Earlier, pictures from DC showed Bella watching her owner from the stands. She was given her own chair and a towel to sit on. On a few weeks ago, Kalinskaya lost to Denmark's Tauson in the second round of Wimbledon but she exacted revenge with a 6-3 7-5 win.
