Coco Gauff sails into French Open quarter-finals
Paris, June 2 (UNI) World number two Coco Gauff continued her pursuit of a first French Open singles title with another impressive straight-sets victory to reach the quarter-finals. The American, 21, dismantled Russian 20th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-0 7-5 here on Monday. The opening set lasted 29 minutes, with Gauff dropping just five points across the first five games. It is the fifth consecutive year 2022 runner-up Gauff has reached the quarter-finals at Roland Garros. She will face the winner of the all-American fourth-round meeting between Australian Open champion Madison Keys and Hailey Baptiste, the BBC reported. Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva also progressed to the last eight in straight sets. The sixth seed defeated Australian 17th seed Daria Kasatkina 6-3 7-5 and will play either American third seed Jessica Pegula or French wildcard Lois Boisson next. Gauff made a commanding start against Alexandrova but came under pressure as she served for the first set. She had to withstand five break points in a sixth game lasting almost 10 minutes before she eventually converted her third set point. Gauff was the first to face break points in a competitive second set but struck first against an improving opponent to lead 4-3. Alexandrova, competing in the fourth round in Paris for the first time, offered resistance with an immediate response - but Gauff finished the stronger and sealed victory with a run of three straight games. It is a fourth consecutive straight-set win for Gauff at this year's tournament. She has also become the youngest player to reach as many as five women's singles quarter-finals at a single major since Venus Williams at the 2001 US Open. UNI BM

Why is Srihari Nataraj's gold-winning effort in 200m freestyle not classified as National Record?
Srihari Nataraj won the gold medal in 200m men's freestyle at the Singapore National Swimming Championship on Sunday. The 24-year-old, who represented India at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics, clocked 1:48:66s at the Singapore Sports School. This time was faster than the existing National Record which was set by Sajan Prakash in 2018. However, Srihari will not be credited with the NR with his performance. What is the difference between National Record and Best Indian Performance in swimming? Srihari's timing in Singapore was fast enough to earn it the 'Best Indian Time' or the 'Best Indian Performance. But, despite it being quicker than Sajan's existing National Record in 200m freestyle (1:50.35s), which was set in 2018, Srihari will not be the holder of a new NR. Why? Because the Swimming Federation of India (SFI) doesn't count the timings in overseas events for National Records. According to SFI senior vice-president Virendra Nanavati, a timing will only be considered as a National Record if its set in the National Aquatics Championships organised by SFI. This can happen in three age categories: sub-junior, junior, and senior. If an Indian swimmer does well in any other internationally-recognised event, even if it is the Olympics or the Asian Games, their timings will be called as a 'Best Indian Performance'.

ICC women's ODI World Cup 2025 venues, dates, live streaming & telecast
The ICC has officially announced that the Women's ODI World Cup 2025 will be held jointly across India and Sri Lanka, running from September 30 to November 2. This marks a return of the prestigious tournament to Indian soil after 12 years, with the opening match featuring host nation India set to take place in Bengaluru. Initially, India was the sole host for the eight-nation competition. However, Colombo has now been added as a neutral venue to accommodate political sensitivities, particularly concerning Pakistan's unwillingness to travel to India. This approach follows a hybrid hosting model, previously used during the Champions Trophy, which allowed India to play its games in Dubai while other matches took place in Pakistan. Bengaluru or Colombo to host Women's ODI World Cup final The matches will be staged in five Indian cities, Bengaluru, Guwahati, Indore, Visakhapatnam, along with Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo. One of the semifinals will be held either in Guwahati or Colombo on October 29, with the second semifinal scheduled for Bengaluru on October 30. The final showdown is set for November 2 and will be hosted either in Bengaluru or Colombo, ensuring finalists have at least two days of rest before the title match. The eight teams competing in the tournament are India, Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Bangladesh and Pakistan secured their spots through a qualifier event held earlier this year. While Australia remains the most dominant team in the competition's history with seven titles, India will be aiming to lift their maiden World Cup trophy on home (and neighboring) soil. ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 live telecast and live streaming details When will the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 begin? The ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 is scheduled to begin on September 30. Where will the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 be played? The ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 is co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka this year.
