Naomi Osaka loses to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in 3rd round at Wimbeldon
Naomi Osaka might be more comfortable on grass courts these days but she will once again leave Wimbledon in the third round after a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 loss to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Friday. Osaka said afterward that she was upset by the result because she "actually thought I could play well, like, in general" and "make a deep run here." "I wanted to do better than I did before," she said. "Also, I felt like I was trying so hard." Asked what positives she can take away from the grass-court portion of the season, Osaka replied: "I'm just going to be a negative human being today. I'm so sorry. I have nothing positive to say about myself, which is something I'm working on." She is a former No. 1 now ranked 50th and a four-time Grand Slam champion, all on hard courts — she won the U.S. Open and Australian Open twice apiece. Osaka arrived at the All England Club this year having lost three of her last four matches at the place and with a career record of 5-4 there. Her best showing was getting to the third round in 2017 and 2018; she missed the tournament in 2021, 2022 and 2023. After a victory earlier this week, she spoke about how she played with fear on grass for years because of a knee injury she got by slipping on the surface nearly a decade ago, but was feeling better about it lately. "With age, fear kind of crept along and, I guess, paralyzed me, in a way," she said. "Now I'm kind of just getting over that and trying to spread my wings on grass. I think it is working, and I think I am moving pretty well." But from 4-all in the third set Friday, Pavlyuchenkova grabbed eight of the match's last 10 points, holding at love, then breaking in the final game with the help of a trio of forehand unforced errors by Osaka. "A majority of you were cheering for Naomi, but that's OK," Pavlyuchenkova, who turned 34 on Thursday, told the crowd at Court No. 2. "I'm mentally tough, so that didn't bother me at all. The opposite: It gave me energy." Pavlyuchenkova, who is ranked 53rd, was the 2021 runner-up at the French Open, and Friday's victory moved her into the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time since she was a quarterfinalist nine years ago. Osaka, meanwhile, already was looking ahead to the next part of the season — on the North American hard courts leading into the U.S. Open, which begins on Aug. 24.

Philippe Coutinho completes permanent move to Brazilian club Vasco da Gama
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Former Brazil international Philippe Coutinho has completed a permanent move to Vasco da Gama from Aston Villa. The Premier League team said in a statement Friday that both clubs have reached a deal for the playmaker to return to his boyhood club on a permanent basis after Coutinho was on loan with the Rio de Janeiro-based side last season.

Coutinho's former clubs include Inter Milan, Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern Munch. He joined Barcelona in 2018 from Liverpool for a fee of up to 160 million euros (then $192 million).

Coutinho won the Copa America with Brazil in 2019 and played in the 2018 World Cup. ___ AP soccer:
