Don't look now, but Carson Branstine is taking the tennis world by storm just in time for the 2025 Wimbledon Championships.

Branstine earned a spot in the main draw at Wimbledon by going on an impressive run during qualifiers. She started off her week by defeating French Open semifinalist Lois Boisson in a three-set thriller. That positive moment carried over into her next match against former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu.
Though it's not much of a surprise, Branstine had another three-set thriller in her final qualifying match. This time around, she defeated Raluca Serban.
If Branstine wants to make a run at Wimbledon, she'll have to take down the No. 1 player in the world on Monday. She's set to face Aryna Sabalenka in the opening around. The Canadian couldn't help but joke about their upcoming match.
"Maybe one day I'll get a good draw LOL," Branstine wrote on X.

While defeating Sabalenka may seem unlikely, plenty of fans will be on her side.

Back in May, the 24-year-old from California shared a few swimsuit photos that grabbed everyone's attention.
"Stunning," one fan said after seeing these photos of Branstine.
"So good," another fan wrote.
"A bombshell has entered the villa," an Instagram user commented.
Another reason Branstine will have fan support on Monday is because Sabalenka made some questionable remarks after her loss to Coco Gauff in the French Open final.

"I think it was more windy. Also I think I was over emotional. Today I didn't handle myself quite well mentally. Basically that's it," Sabalenka told reporters. "I was just making unforced errors. I don't know. I have to check the statistics. I think she won the match not because she played incredible. Just because I made all of those mistakes, if you look from the outside, from kind of easy balls."
We'll see if Branstine can shock the world and defeat Sabalenka at Wimbledon.

Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua: An 'insane fight,' yes, but also a real possibility?
ANAHEIM, Calif. – After going the distance to defeat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Jake Paul made some major callouts. Canelo Alvarez, Gervonta Davis, Tommy Fury, champion Badu Jack, Anthony Joshua and champion Gilberto Ramirez all were names uttered by Paul. But of those possible opponents, there's one big fish that Paul and his manager, Nakisa Bidarian, are looking to catch – and that's Joshua. Advertisement "I think that's the main one that we talk a lot about is, if it's not for the title, it's looking at Tommy if he's reasonable and then Anthony Joshua," Bidarian told reporters, including MMA Junkie, on Saturday after Paul's unanimous decision win at Honda Center. "And he's adamant that he wants to make that fight happen at the end of 2026." Paul vs. Joshua. Or, put another way, Paul vs. one of the top heavyweights of this generation: Can you believe that? While it'd be a stretch to say the fight is "in the works" in the traditional sense of that term, there are definitely wheels in motion. Paul hopes to make that fight come to fruition so he can finally silence his haters, of which they were out in full force to watch his win over Chavez Jr. "That's the criticism: 'Fight someone in their prime who's a beast.' I think people just want to see me lose," Paul said. "That's really what the message is behind it all. Anthony Joshua is an insane fight, but I want that challenge. We've been DM'ing back and forth, he wants to make it happen, he called me up, and it's looking very likely for next year."

Vasquez-Imagn Images Bidarian said he and Paul plan to meet with Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn, who promotes Joshua, about a possible fight toward the end of next year. Advertisement Paul's only fight to take place at heavyweight was against 58-year-old Mike Tyson last November. Suffice to say, fighting Joshua, 35, would be a challenge like Paul's never faced before, which is all the more reason why he wants it so badly. "I'm definitely not a heavyweight, but I'm still gonna take the challenge," Paul said. "But you look at Deontay Wilder, he was beating these guys weighing 215 pounds. Anything is possible. Granted, he's like 6-6 or something, but anything is possible. And so I like the challenge."

Fearnley 'still in awe' as he returns to Wimbledon
Jacob Fearnley reached the second round at Wimbledon in 2024 [Getty Images] Wimbledon 2025 Dates: 30 June-13 July Venue: All England Club Coverage: Live across BBC TV, radio and online with extensive coverage on BBC iPlayer, Red Button, Connected TVs and mobile app. On his Wimbledon debut last year Jacob Fearnley faced Novak Djokovic on Centre Court, having been ranked outside the top 500 a little more than a month before. The Scot even took a set off the seven-time champion in his second-round defeat. Advertisement Now the 23-year-old is just outside the top 50 and has picked up more than $1m (£728,750) in tournament earnings. "It is a bit different," he told BBC Sport. "I have to keep reminding myself that this is still a really special place and not to take it for granted. "Coming in as a wildcard last year I was in complete awe and, to be honest, I still am. I get goosebumps when I walk in the gates." Fearnley will experience another show court this time as he gets ready to open against the much-hyped teenager Joao Fonseca. The 18-year-old Brazilian has beaten Fearnley in both of their previous encounters, most recently at Indian Wells in March. Advertisement "There's a reason why everyone talks about him," said Fearnley. "He's earned that respect from all the players. "It's going to be a difficult match, playing on Court One. It doesn't get much better than that." Fearnley has been practising with Jack Draper at the All England Club, with the pair good friends from their time on the junior circuit. Draper goes into the tournament as the fourth seed, with Fearnley Great Britain's number two in the rankings. "We all look up to Jack and what he's done, with the rise he's had from where he was," said Fearnley. "It's very inspiring for a guy like me. Advertisement "I'm just trying to keep improving. Hopefully, one day I can be where Jack is but the way he goes about his business is hard to follow. He's very professional and the level he's playing is really high." Fearnley enjoyed wins over Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the juniors but has taken a different path from those superstars of the game. Just prior to his first appearance at Wimbledon he graduated from Texas Christian University (TCU) in the United States, having spent five years playing college tennis. "I felt I only reached my college peak after my fifth year," he explained. Advertisement "It's a time when you can mature and figure out what your priorities are. I realised tennis is what I want to do and I then put all the eggs in one basket."

Summer Blockbusters Could Kick Cineplex Stock Into Recovery
Written by Demetris Afxentiou at The Motley Fool Canada Are you invested in Cineplex (TSX:CGX)? Canada's largest entertainment company has remained stuck since before the pandemic in a perpetual state of being ready for a recovery. As the summer blockbuster season kicks off, Cineplex stock may finally get the recovery it desperately needs. And that could be good for investors. Cineplex's movie segment follows a simple business model that's been around for over a century. In short, Cineplex charges an admission to an exclusive show and then offers patrons concessions to enjoy (at a steep markup). While there are many problems with that aged model, at the forefront is the growing variety of alternative methods to enjoy that show, all of which are eroding that exclusivity aspect — more specifically, streaming and on-demand services. Those services charge the equivalent of a single movie ticket (or less) for an entire month of unlimited access. The other, equally concerning problem is the quality of content. Cineplex is largely at the mercy of whatever comes out of Hollywood. In recent years, we've seen both writer strikes and a lack of quality content emerging from the studios, leading to less-than-stellar box office results. That underlying market volatility and lacklustre box office performance made its way to Cineplex's stock price. As of the time of writing, Cineplex trades at just over $11. That represents a near 60% improvement over the past year, but it's still far behind its pre-pandemic stock price. In other words, something is needed to kick Cineplex stock into recovery. Most Canadians are aware of Cineplex, associating the entertainment company with its massive portfolio of theatre screens across the country. And while Cineplex does offer the largest number of theatre screens, the company offer investors something additional. That includes Cineplex's digital media business (known as CDM), which provides digital signage solutions for a variety of brick-and-mortar businesses. That includes everything from fast food menus and banking screens to interactive digital information maps in shopping malls. The segment also includes ad sales, further increasing the appeal of the segment. Incredibly, Cineplex's digital media business has customers operating in over 30 countries around the world. That impressive coverage also represents some of the largest, most well-known, and respected names in business. And that's not all. Cineplex also boasts an entire amusement and leisure segment. This includes venue-focused entertainment offerings such as Playdium, the Rec Room and Cineplex Junxion. These venues combine dining, entertainment and gaming into a single experience. Collectively, these non-theatre segments account for a growing part of Cineplex's revenue. In fact, in the most recent quarter, media revenue surged 38% year over year, and the amusement and leisure segment saw an equally impressive (and record-setting) 10.5% year-over-year increase. So, does this mean the market has finally kicked Cineplex stock into recovery? Not quite, but the summer blockbuster season might change that. The summer blockbuster season could be one of the best opportunities for Cineplex to shine. Following a spring season that included multiple highly anticipated blockbusters such as the Thunderbolts and the Minecraft Movie, there are even bigger movies slated for the summer. This includes the latest installment from the Mission: Impossible franchise, which opened in May and has already surpassed US$500 million at the global box office. Other franchise favourites, such as 28 Years Later and Pixar's Elio, both of which came out in the past week. Finally, that's not even accounting for other highly anticipated films coming later this summer. That list includes The Naked Gun reboot and Marvel's upcoming Fantastic Four movie. In short, Cineplex's finances are improving, and the company remains highly discounted. More importantly, this summer blockbuster season may finally kick Cineplex stock into recovery. In my opinion, investors who can handle the risk may be inclined to add a small position in Cineplex (while it's still down) to any well-diversified portfolio.
