Raducanu reaches third round in Montreal
Emma Raducanu continued to build momentum before next month's US Open with a straight-set win over American Peyton Stearns at the Canadian Open. British number one Raducanu, a shock champion at the New York slam in 2021, progressed to the third round 6-2 6-4. The 22-year-old has won five of her six matches during the North American summer hard-court swing, after reaching the Washington Open last week. She will next play Wimbledon runner-up Amanda Anisimova, after the American fifth seed defeated New Zealand's Lulu Sun 6-4 7-6 (7-5). World number 33 Raducanu proved too strong for 32nd seed Stearns and has now won all three meetings against her. An early break put her in control of the first set before she took her sixth set point on her opponent's serve. Raducanu trailed 4-2 after falling a break down in the second, but produced an impressive finish with a run of four consecutive games to clinch victory. "I'm really happy with how I came through in that match," Raducanu said. "I kind of lost my focus at some moments in the second set and she took advantage, but very happy that I came through against a top opponent and happy to extend my stay in Montreal. "I just want to say thank you [to supporters], I saw the Union Jack in clutch moments and I was actually born in Canada, so to me it means so much to do well here."

Léon Marchand tries to break his own 200 IM world record at the swim worlds in Singapore
SINGAPORE (AP) — Léon Marchand of France is out to break his own world record in Thursday's 200-meter individual medley at the swimming world championships in Singapore. If you missed it, Marchand only set the record on Wednesday in the semifinals at the worlds — 1 minute, 52.69 seconds. That shattered the old mark of 1:54.00 held by American Ryan Lochte since 2011. Of course, Marchand's victory is almost assured. The only question is by how much. A four-time gold medalist a year ago in the Paris Olympics, Marchand will share the stage on Day 5 with Canada's Summer McIntosh. McIntosh will go for her third medal in Singapore, this time in the 200 freestyle. Elizabeth Dekkers of Australia and American Regan Smith are the main rivals. She has already won gold in the 200 IM and 400 freestyle. McIntosh is bidding for five individual gold medals in Singapore after winning three individual Olympic gold medals in Paris. Yu Zidi, the 12-year-old Chinese swimmer, is the eighth-fastest qualifier in the field as she tries to reach the podium. She was fourth in the 200 IM. Three other finals are on the day's program and the Americans have shots. The United States has won only three gold medals in Singapore with the team battling a stomach bug picked up in training camp in Thailand. Head coach Greg Meehan has suggested team health is improving. In the men's 100 freestyle, American Jack Alexy and Romanian David Popovici were the quickest qualifiers. Popovici has already won the 200 free in Singapore. He was the gold medalist at 200 in Paris, and took bronze in the 100. American Regan Smith has the quickest time in the 50 backstroke followed very closely by Lauren Cox of Britain, American Katharine Berkoff, and Wan Letian of China. The last final of the day is the women's 4x200-meter freestyle relay. __ AP sports:

Andujar's 2 HRs help Athletics beat Mariners 5-4
Miguel Andujar hit two home runs, Jeffrey Springs pitched six solid innings and the Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners 5-4 on Wednesday night. Brent Rooker and Darell Hernaiz also homered for the A's, who have won six of their last seven games. Springs (10-7) gave up a run on two hits with a walk and seven strikeouts. Jack Perkins pitched two innings and gave up a hit — a solo homer by Randy Arozarena that capped the scoring in the ninth — for his third save. The 30-year-old Andujar had his first multihomer game in his 433rd major league appearance. Andujar homered off Mariners starter Bryan Woo (8-6) in the fourth to make it 3-1 and led off the seventh with a shot over the wall in left field that made it 5-3. Hernaiz added a solo shot in the fifth. Julio Rodríguez homered in the first inning and Jorge Polanco added a two-run homer in the seventh for the Mariners. Rooker hit a two-out solo homer before Shea Langeliers singled, stole second base and then scored when Tyler Soderstrom doubled to give the Athletics a 2-1 lead in the first. The A's gave up three home runs and their 161 homers allowed this season are the most in MLB. The Athletics are on pace to give up 236 long balls and shatter the club's single-season record of 220 given up by the 1964 Kansas City A's. The Mariners kick off a four-game series against Texas at home on Friday. Neither team has announced its starting pitcher. The Athletics' starter is TBD for the first of four games Friday against Arizona. Merrill Kelly (9-6, 3.22 ERA) is set to pitch for the Diamondbacks.
