Swiatek cruises into third round, Fernandez sisters bounced in doubles at NBO
MONTREAL - Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek of Poland cruised into the National Bank Open's third round with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Guo Hanyu of China on Wednesday. The second-seeded Swiatek hit four aces and converted six break points on eight opportunities, winning the match in 72 minutes. A day after blaming unfavourable scheduling for her first-round exit in women's singles, Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., and sister Bianca Jolie lost 6-4, 6-2 to top-seeded Italian duo Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini in doubles. Fernandez, who won the D.C. Open on Sunday, anticipated an evening match Tuesday to give her more time to recover. The Canadian lost in straight sets in the afternoon, however, to Australia's Maya Joint. Kayla Cross of London, Ont. and Toronto's Victoria Mboko fell 6-3, 7-6 (0) to Jiang Xinhu of China and Chan Hao-Ching of Taiwan. Second-seeded Ottawa's Gabriel Dabrowski and teammate Erin Routliffe of New Zealand were scheduled to take on Americans Sofia Kenin and Caroline Dolehide. In Wednesday's night session, Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que., faced 17th seed Belinda Bencic of Switzerland in second-round singles action. Bouchard, who announced the hometown tournament would be her last, defeated Colombia's Emilia Arango in the first round. This year's National Bank Open — a WTA 1000-level tournament — debuted a revamped 12-day, 96-player format, with the top 32 seeds receiving byes to the second round.

🎥 Guendouzi struggles, Mourinho beats Sarri, Udinese v Pisa🚀 Today's friendlies⚔️
The pre-season is heating up, and after a couple of days of relative rest, today many teams are back on the field. Keeping up with all the commitments is not easy: that's why we have gathered in a single recap all the friendly matches played today by the Italian teams. 📺 Watch all the friendlies of Napoli LIVE on OneFootball! Click here from the app to purchase Napoli-Stade Brestois 29. ❌ Monaco vs TORINO 3-1 Torino falls in the third summer friendly, defeated 3-1 by Monaco on French soil. The "granata" had taken the lead with Gineitis through a nice action carried forward on the left, but Biereth's equalizer in the 16th minute immediately restored balance. Paleari stands out with some decisive interventions, but is tricked by a deflection from Casadei on Camara's shot. In the second half, a positive debut for Abouhklal, who came close to scoring on several occasions, before Golovin sealed the final 3-1. ✅ Strasbourg vs UDINESE 1-2 Udinese wins again in a friendly: 2-1 against Strasbourg, a French team expected in the Conference League playoffs. Despite Davis's absence due to a virus and with Runjaic replaced on the bench by deputy Malecki, the "bianconeri" lined up with a 4-4-2: Pafundi on the wing, Bayo and Brenner in attack. Immediate intensity and high pressing. Panichelli put Strasbourg ahead, but in the second half, Udinese turned everything around in a few minutes: Bayo's equalizer and Atta's overtaking goal assisted by Lovric. Good responses also from Sava and Zemura in a risk-free ending. ✅ Empoli vs PISA 2-3 The friendly at Castellani goes to Pisa: it ends 3-2 against a combative but still tuning Empoli. The "nerazzurri" started strong with goals from Akinsanmiro and Touré, but Shpendi – with a true striker's brace – brought Empoli back to parity. It was then Meister, with a great play, who decided the match in the second half. Pagliuca's team shows rhythm and determination, but also limits to correct, especially in the midfield and in the non-possession phase. Among the positive signs, the growing condition of Shpendi and the energy of Busiello. Ceesay's injury needs to be evaluated. ❌ Fenerbahce vs LAZIO 1-0 It could be described as a Sarri vs Mourinho on an international tone, and on the day when Fenerbahçe makes two major market moves, they also secure a narrow victory against Lazio. A match anything but friendly, especially for what happened at the end of a first half full of tension, protests, and often borderline interventions. Zaccagni lost his cool after a free kick was awarded for a push at the edge of the area, resulting in a yellow card. The match was decided by Kahveci's goal, which came from a mistake by Guendouzi: instead of finding a teammate, he passed it to En-Nesyri, who then served the winger and beat Mandas. A disappointing performance by the "biancocelesti," never truly dangerous and with only one message at the end of this match: there is a lot, a lot, a lot of work to be done.

Christian Pulisic reveals 'essential characteristic' Massimiliano Allegri is trying to instil at AC Milan as USMNT star sets main goal for 2025-26 season
Pulisic preparing for new season Says Allegri has made good start Targeting improvements in 2025-26 Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Allegri has taken charge of Milan for a second stint and will be hoping to improve on a disappointing 2024-25 campaign that brought an eighth-placed finish in Serie A and defeat to Bologna in the Coppa Italia final. There will be no European football for Milan next season, meaning the Rossoneri will be free to focus on domestic success. THE BIGGER PICTURE Pulisic will again be expected to play a key role for Milan, following a campaign where he scored 17 goals and bagged 10 assists in all competitions for the Italian side. Allegri's side have enjoyed wins over Arsenal and Liverpool in pre-season, and Pulisic thinks Allegri has made a promising start to life at San Siro. WHAT PULISIC SAID He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "In my opinion, Allegri has started off on the right foot. He's coached many champions, he knows how to talk to players, how to create the right feeling with the team, and he's focusing on giving Milan significant defensive compactness, an essential characteristic for creating scoring opportunities." TELL ME MORE... Pulisic was also asked for his goals for the season and answered "to always do better". The USMNT star then elaborated further: "Here at Milan, I was given freedom from the start, and I feel the trust in me from everyone: from my teammates to the coach, from the directors to the fans. "I will miss the Champions League, it's where we want to be. Our goal is to qualify next year, it's the most exciting European competition and Milan deserves to play in it. There are many strong teams in Serie A. I don't expect Napoli and Inter to go head-to-head all season because they'll face several competitive opponents. We'll try to win as many games as possible and finish as high as we can." WHAT NEXT FOR PULISIC & MILAN? Milan are now in Australia as part of their pre-season preparations and face Perth Glory next. The team then head back to Europe for friendlies against Leeds United and Chelsea before a Coppa Italia clash with Bari on August 17.
