Coco Gauff parts ways with her coach days before US Open campaign
Coco Gauff has reportedly split with coach Matthew Daly just days before the start of the US Open, making another shakeup to her support team on the eve of the year's final major. The move was first reported by Bounces. The world No 3 and two-time major champion will continue to work with her longtime coach Jean-Christophe Faurel but has added biomechanics specialist Gavin MacMillan to her corner. MacMillan was spotted with Gauff during a Wednesday practice session at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. MacMillan previously worked with Aryna Sabalenka, helping the world No 1 overcome her serving yips in 2022 and refine her forehand. Gauff has struggled with her own serve this summer, notably hitting 42 double faults in three matches at the Canadian Open earlier this month. Daly, a grip specialist, confirmed his departure after a little more than a year in the role. He joined Gauff's team last autumn after she parted ways with Brad Gilbert, focusing on altering her grip and adjusting technical details. The changes initially paid off: Gauff captured the China Open title and closed 2024 by winning the WTA Finals. This season she added a second major at the French Open and reached the finals at both Madrid and Rome. But inconsistency has returned in recent months. Since her Paris triumph she has won just four singles matches, including a surprise first-round exit at Wimbledon. Daly, speaking to Bounces, said only: 'Only have good things to say about Coco, enjoyed working with her.' Gauff, 21, has yet to publicly comment on the staff changes. She is due to play in a Thursday night exhibition at Arthur Ashe Stadium before the US Open singles begins on Sunday.

Celtic left with plenty to do after goalless stalemate with Kairat Almaty
In Brendan Rodgers' 800th match as a manager, there was no traditional early onslaught by the Hoops as the accomplished Kazakh side more than matched their hosts. However, with Yang Hyun-jun on for Adam Idah and Daizen Maeda moving to centre forward at the start of the second half, Celtic stepped up the pace and piled on the pressure in the later stages but could not find a way through despite 10 added minutes. All to play for in Kazakhstan.#CelticKairat | #UCL | #CelticFC🍀 — Celtic Football Club (@CelticFC) August 20, 2025 After Saturday's home William Hill Premiership game against Livingston, Celtic will get ready for the return leg in Kazakhstan next Tuesday night which involves a 7,000-mile round trip knowing qualification requires perhaps more work than many anticipated. Much of the build-up to the game was centred on if and when Rodgers would add to his squad for the European campaign. There were no late signings, but Rodgers made six changes to his side, with Kasper Schmeichel, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales, Reo Hatate, Benjamin Nygren and Idah returning and Viljami Sinisalo, Dane Murray, Auston Trusty, Arne Engels, Luke McCowan and Johnny Kenny dropping out. Rafael Urazbakhtin stressed his side were playing for the glory of Kazakhstan and the Kairat head coach was pinning a lot of hopes on 17-year-old Chelsea-bound Dastan Satpayev. The visitors settled early and in the 11th minute captain Aleksandr Martynovich had the ball in the Hoops net from close range but was offside. With Satpayev influential, Kairat attacked fluidly and at pace on the counter, dampening the mood of the expectant home support. In the 32nd minute, Celtic defender Alastair Johnston pulled up with what looked like a hamstring injury as he backtracked and was taken from the field on a stretcher, replaced by Anthony Ralston. Moments later, Kairat goalkeeper Alexandr Zarutskiy saved from Maeda when Celtic at last got through, but at the other end Ofri Arad's powerful drive flew just wide of Schmeichel's post. Yang for Idah for the start of the second period and Maeda moving central was no surprise and within a minute Yang set up James Forrest, whose shot was touched onto a post and then gathered by Zarutskiy. In the 58th minute, after some sloppiness by Carter-Vickers in the Hoops defence, Brazilian striker Edmilson tried a speculative shot from 40 yards and it landed on the roof of Schmeichel's goal. Celtic's corner count mounted but to no avail and Hoops fans – perhaps also frustrated by a lack of transfer activity – began singing 'sack the board' as the game moved into the final quarter. In the 75th minute, after sustaining an injury defending a corner, Zarutskiy had to be replaced by understudy Temirlan Anarbekov and he had his head bandaged and covered by a protective cap after taking a knock. The visitors, though, were wasting time at every opportunity and 10 added minutes gave Celtic scope, but Maeda spurned a gift when he ran through alone and could only manage a tame shot which was easily saved by Anarbekov and there were boos at the end from irate supporters.

Tom Brady gets destroyed by his friends over this picture with son Jack, 17
may be a seven-time Super Bowl champion but even he isn't safe from getting roasted by his friends - especially when his son makes him look small. The 6-foot-4 NFL legend shared a wholesome set of photos from a golf outing with his eldest son, Jack, at The Hills resort in East Quogue, New York. But it wasn't the father-son bonding that got people talking - it was Jack, 17, towering over the GOAT in a picture posted onto Brady's Instagram account. 'Everything still pretty much the same 'round here,' Brady captioned the post as he stood alongside his teenage son. That triggered an avalanche of good-natured ribbing in the comments. 'Is Jack standing on something? Besides business lol,' joked Mike Evans, Brady's former Buccaneers teammate. The NFL legend shared the picture with Jack from the golf course onto his Instagram account Rob Gronkowski chimed in: 'Jack is way more beastly than you.' Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin added to the pile-on, teasing, 'Except I heard Jack kicked your ass yesterday!!.' Fans also jumped in with disbelief, with writing: 'How is Jack taller than Tom??!'. Another joked, 'Jack just got an offer from every Power 5 school with that height and jawline combo.' Jack, who turns 18 on August 22, is Brady's son with ex Bridget Moynahan. The NFL star also shares two younger children - son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12 - with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen. Just last month, Brady appeared to take a subtle dig at Bundchen in his '199' newsletter while reflecting on parenting challenges. The NFL great, a seven-time Super Bowl winner, split from his wife of 13 years in October 2022, months after dramatically reversing his decision to retire from football. After their split was announced, Bundchen repeatedly alluded to her unhappiness at how much Brady focused on his sporting career at the cost of his family, with his unretirement said to be the tipping point. Now, in a newsletter Brady has recently started writing to his fans, the 47-year-old has said that he viewed his career as a central part of being a good father to his three children. 'I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family,' Brady wrote. 'I chose to do it by playing football.' He continued: 'My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused - those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate; and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives.'
