Sinner into Wimbledon quarters after injured Dimitrov retires
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Italy's Jannik Sinner in action during his round of 16 match against Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov. LONDON - Jannik Sinner reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals in bizarre fashion as Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire despite holding a two-set lead against the world number one on July 7. Sinner had been battling an injury to his right elbow and was trailing 3-6, 5-7, 2-2 on Centre Court when Dimitrov injured himself serving an ace. The Bulgarian collapsed onto the court holding his pectoral muscle and shouted out in pain as Sinner rushed to his aid. Dimitrov received medical treatment and walked off court before returning to tell Sinner he was pulling out, with the Italian wrapping him in a hug as the Bulgarian wiped away tears. Dimitrov, 34, has been hampered by injuries for much of the latter stages of his career, also retiring from Wimbledon in the fourth round against Daniil Medvedev last year. 'Honestly, I don't know what to say, because he is an incredible player,' said Sinner. 'I think we all saw this today. He's been so unlucky in the past couple of years. An incredible player, a good friend of mine also, and we understand each other very well off the court too. 'Seeing him in this position, honestly, if there would be a chance that he could play the next round, he would deserve it. But now, mostly, I hope he has a speedy recovery.' Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov reacts with Italy's Jannik Sinner after he retires injured from their round of 16 match. PHOTO: REUTERS From the brink of a potential shock exit, Sinner will now face American 10th seed Ben Shelton in the last eight, assuming the three-time Grand Slam champion can recover from his own fitness issue. Sinner has never reached the Wimbledon final, going as far as the semi-finals in 2023. He has played in the last three Grand Slam finals, taking the title at the US and Australian Opens and losing the French Open showpiece in a five-set epic against Carlos Alcaraz in June. AFP

Portugal's Euro campaign still alive after 1-1 draw with Italy
GENEVA, Switzerland - A last-gasp equaliser by Portugal's Diana Gomes against Italy in a thrilling 1-1 draw kept her country's Women's Euro campaign alive as her strike cancelled out a stunning second-half goal by Cristiana Girelli on Monday. Le Azzurre thought they were through to the quarter-finals after Girelli scored in the 70th minute, shifting the ball to her right foot at the edge of the box before unleashing a curling shot into the top right corner that goalkeeper Patricia Morais had little chance of stopping. But Gomes brought Portugal level in the 89th when a corner hit the bar and the Portuguese worked the ball back into the box for Gomes to fire home, sending their raucous fans, who chanted and banged drums throughout the night, into utter delirium. The draw spoiled Italy's chance of clinching a berth in the knockout round on Monday, with Spain the only Group B team to have so far guaranteed a quarter-final spot with their 6-2 win over Belgium in the earlier match.

Forum: Not easy to buy online tickets for football matches
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox The Football Association of Singapore is using Ticketek, a company based in Sydney, Australia, for selling tickets to football events in Singapore. I am 68 and am finding it very difficult to secure tickets, as the process seems rather complicated. The password field, even when filled with the required 12 characters, does not always let me proceed. I also find electronic payments a security risk. Surely a company which has counters in Singapore should be chosen as the ticketing partner, as that would give us a choice to buy physical tickets. It doesn't help that Ticketek's helpline is an Australian number. One suggestion is to sell the tickets at the venues for three days after the match dates are announced, so that fans like me can go physically to buy them. It looks like I cannot even go support Singapore's boys' and girls' squads in the Lion City Cup 2025, or watch the national team when they face India and Bangladesh in the coming months. As retired seniors, we feel locked out from attending football events in our golden years. Please think of us. Prakasam Alexander Maria Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.
