Colorado Rapids, Santos Laguna fans bring the party at the Leagues Cup game

Thursday was the Colorado Rapids' first Leagues Cup game, a tournament between the MLS in the United States and Canada and Liga MX in Mexico. The tailgates of the Colorado Rapids and the visiting Mexican team, Santos Laguna, couldn't have been more different. The Rapids fans enjoyed burgers, hot dogs and craft beverages. "We as a group try to provide a fun atmosphere no matter what's going on on the field," said Nina Rice, a Centennial 38 Rapids Fan Club Board Member. The Santos Laguna fans had tacos, cumbias and cervezas. "This is my blood and family thing. And like, you see all this right now, this crowd, they enjoy it, and it is a lot of people from every one of the United States," said Santos Laguna fan Fernando Arriaga. Mexican fans traveled from all over the United States and Mexico to support their club and blow off some steam. "We always got together. Have some good beers, good food and good music," said a Santos Laguna fan, Alfredo Tapia from Lafayette. And while the vibes were different outside the stadium, inside, if it weren't for the colors on their shirts, you could hardly tell who was from where because in the bleachers, the only thing you are is a fan. "We kind of go by the motto, you know, enemies for 90 minutes, friends for life," said Rice. "It's just it's something you don't have to speak the same language to know how to do together. And so, I just to me it just brings people together." The Rapids have two more games in this tournament, one Sunday at Dick's Sporting Goods Park against Tijuana. Then they travel to L.A. to play Cruz Azul.

Rybakina outlasts Yastremska to reach WTA Montreal quarter-finals

Former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina beat Dayana Yastremska 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 on Saturday to book a quarter-final clash with Marta Kostyuk at the WTA Canadian Open in Montreal. Kazakhstan's Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion who won her first title in more than a year at Strasbourg in May, was slowed by nine double faults. But she ultimately had enough to get past Ukraine's Yastremska -- who was coming off a straight-sets victory over eighth-seeded American Emma Navarro. Yastremska fell behind an early break in the first set, but took advantage of Rybakina's early serving woes to break back, and broke again to take the opening set in a game that Rybakina had led 40-0. Rybakina, seeded ninth, bore down after that, breaking Yastremska twice to take the second set. Another untimely double fault cost her a break in the third, but she broke Yastremska for the second time in the set to take a 6-5 lead and held on to seal it on her fourth match point with a high backhand volley winner. She'll face another Ukrainian in Kostyuk, who came from behind to beat American McCartney Kessler 5-7, 6-3, 6-3. Kostyuk reached the quarter-finals of WTA-1000 events at Qatar and Madrid this year, but she arrived in Montreal having not won a match since reaching the fourth round in Rome. "I hadn't won a match in three months before this tournament -- I didn't have a lot of confidence coming into it," she admitted, thanking her team for "sticking with me". Top-seeded American Coco Gauff headlined the night session, taking on 18-year-old Canadian wild card Victoria Mboko. Gauff, the reigning French Open champion, has been erratic in clawing her way into the fourth round with a pair of three-set victories and will be looking to step it up against the home hope, who has thrilled fans in her first main draw appearance in the event. Mboko is in the round of 16 in a 1000-level event for the first time. She took Gauff to three sets on the clay courts of Rome earlier this year and said she was "really excited" for another shot at the American. "She's the number one seed of this tournament," Mboko said. "I'm going to really expect a hard fight. It's always great to play such incredible athletes and incredible players like her." The winner of that match will play either China's Zhu Lin or Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, who are both seeking to reach the quarters of a 1000 level event for the first time. Zhu, once ranked as high as number 31 in the world, has dropped to 493rd after missing the last five months of 2024 and another three months earlier this year with an elbow injury. bb/js
