Alexander Zverev hilariously let the TNT crew play for a chance to keep his $300K roulette watch
The world's No. 3 ranked tennis player Alexander Zverev started his pursuit of a first French Open title with an easy straight-set win over American Learner Tien on Tuesday. It was the kind of win that had Zverev in a great mood.
So much so that he was willing to put his $300,000 watch up to chance.
Zverev joined TNT's on-site set at Roland-Garros for a post-match interview. And in the middle of the discussion, TNT's Adam Lefkoe said he was having trouble focusing because he was so fascinated by Zverev's watch.
That watch was a Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon, which has a miniature (and fully functional) roulette wheel on the dial base, and goes for $300,000. Impressive, to say the least — even if all those numbers could make for a disorienting time-telling experience.
But to Lefkoe's shock, Zverev asked the crew to choose numbers for the chance to keep the watch.

The "bets" were 12, 31, 33 and 8. Lefkoe stood up to root the universe into showing a No. 33. But it wasn't meant to be as the ball landed on a 4. Zverev got to keep his watch.
Lefkoe will be chasing that rush for the rest of his life.

Savannah man and World War II airman has been accounted for
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – Former U.S. Army Air Forces 2nd Lt. Milton L. Hymes, Jr., 22, of Savannah, Georgia, was accounted for today by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. Lt. Hayes was killed during World War II. According to information released by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, in June 1944, Hymes was assigned to the 565th Bombardment Squadron, 389th Bombardment Group, 2nd Combat Bomb Wing, 2nd Air Division, 8th Air Force, in the European Theater. On June 20, Hymes, the navigator onboard a B-24J 'Liberator' bomber, went missing in action when his plane crashed into the Baltic Sea off the coast of Denmark after colliding with another B-24 in the same formation. The pilot and co-pilot of Hymes' aircraft were able to bail out and survived, but all evidence points to the rest of the crew being killed in the crash. The U.S. War Department issued a Finding of Death for Hymes on June 21, 1945. In early 1948, the American Graves Registration Command, the organization that searched for and recovered fallen American personnel in the European Theater, investigated the crash, but was unable to find any of the missing crewmen. Over the next couple of years, the AGRC also assessed unidentified remains that washed ashore in the area where Hymes' aircraft crashed, but were not able to identify any of the crew. Hymes was declared non-recoverable on May 12, 1950. In 2019, Danish divers alerted the Royal Danish Navy to a WWII-era aircraft wreck in the general area where Hymes' aircraft crashed. A .50 caliber machine gun with a damaged serial number that partially matched the guns on Hymes' aircraft was recovered. In August 2021, after the Royal Danish Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal cleared the site of unexploded ordnance, DPAA partner University of Delaware, along with the Royal Danish Navy, returned to conduct an underwater survey. The survey found possible human remains as well as enough evidence to recommend the site for an archaeological excavation. From Sept. 21, 2022 to June 9, 2024, DPAA primary partner Trident Archäologie, along with Wessex Archaeology and volunteers from Project Recover, and with stakeholders from the Royal Danish Navy and the Langelands Museum, returned to the site to conduct further operations, during which they found further material evidence and possible remains. That evidence was also accessioned into the DPAA laboratory. To identify Hymes' remains, scientists from DPAA used dental and anthropological analysis, as well as material evidence. Additionally, scientists from the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome DNA analysis. Hymes' name is recorded on the Wall of the Missing at Cambridge American Cemetery, Cambridge, England, along with others still missing from WWII. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for. Hymes will be buried in Thunderbolt, Georgia, on a date yet to be determined. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Carlos Alcaraz lauded for his stunning act of sportsmanship at French Open
An image collage containing 2 images, Image 1 shows The crowd applauded Carlos Alcaraz for his display of sportsmanship, Image 2 shows Carlos Alcaraz went on to defeat Ben Shelton (r.) PARIS — Carlos Alcaraz conjured up what initially appeared — to the chair umpire, to everyone watching in the stands or on TV and to his opponent, Ben Shelton — a remarkable lunging volley to win a point at the French Open on Sunday. But Alcaraz knew it shouldn't count. So after briefly thinking about it, the defending champion at Roland-Garros fessed up and called himself for breaking the rules, handing the point to Shelton during what would become a 7-6 (8), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 victory for Alcaraz in the fourth round. Advertisement 'It's a shame, because it was the 'Hot Shot' of the day,' Alcaraz said later with a smile. Carlos Alcaraz conceded a point to opponent Ben Shelton during their French Open match as he wasn't holding his racket when it touched the ball. X 'Crazy shot,' Shelton said. Here's what happened: Early in the second set, Shelton whipped a passing shot well out of Alcaraz's reach up at the net. So Alcaraz flung his racket — and, as his equipment flipped through the air, its strings somehow not only made contact with the ball but sent it back over the net and onto the other side of the court. Initially, the second-seeded Alcaraz was awarded the point. But he went over to the chair umpire to admit that he wasn't holding his racket when it touched the ball. That's not allowed, so he conceded the point to Shelton, an American seeded 13th. As Carlos Alcaraz's racket flipped in the air, the equipment made contact with the ball. X The crowd applauded Carlos Alcaraz for his display of sportsmanship. Getty Images When the official informed the Court Philippe-Chatrier crowd what had happened, Alcaraz was given a round of applause. Advertisement 'I thought, 'OK, I could not say anything.' But I would have felt guilty if I didn't say anything,' Alcaraz explained. 'It's just about if I know that I didn't (do), or I did, a wrong thing. … I have to say. I have to be honest with myself. I have to be honest with Ben, with everyone. … It's just about the respect we have against each other, and I think that sports, in general, should be like this.' It came at what could have been a critical moment, because instead of leading 40-30 on his serve, Alcaraz was now down 30-40, giving Shelton his first break point of the match. But Alcaraz saved that one — and five others in that 20-point game — along the way to taking a two-set lead in an entertaining matchup between a pair of 22-year-olds who hit the ball hard. Carlos Alcaraz went on to defeat Ben Shelton (r.) REUTERS 'I thought it was clean, you know? I thought he hit the volley, and (then) the racket flew out of his hand,' Shelton said. 'I was kind of surprised that he was, like, 'No, I let go of the racket and threw it.' … Obviously a guy with a lot of sportsmanship.' Advertisement Shelton, twice a semifinalist at majors, delivered serves at up to 143 mph (230 kph) and forehands at up to 116 mph (187 kph). Alcaraz, already a four-time Grand Slam champion, showed off various parts of his repertoire. It was tighter than the score might indicate: Shelton held three opportunities to own the opening set, leading in the tiebreaker at 6-4, 6-5 and 7-6. Take any of the subsequent points, and Shelton would own that set. Carlos Alcaraz will next face Tommy Paul at the French Open. AFP via Getty Images But Alcaraz — who meets No. 12 Tommy Paul of the U.S. in the quarterfinals Tuesday — saved the first with a service winner. Shelton netted a backhand on the next. And the last ended with Shelton smacking a backhand right at the body of Alcaraz, who was up at the net and contorted himself in order to chop a drop volley winner. Advertisement Alcaraz then converted his second set point, closing a 15-stroke exchange with a down-the-line forehand that drew a mistake from Shelton. The third set went to Shelton when Alcaraz put a forehand into the net, and the big-swinging American punched the air, then his chest, and screamed: 'Let's go, baby! Come on!' The fourth swung Alcaraz's way when he used a drop shot winner to set up a break point that he claimed for a 2-1 edge and, after a total of 3 hours, 19 minutes, he was able to finish off an 11th consecutive win at Roland-Garros.
