Royal Ascot 2025 day 1 results as Rosallion denied in thrilling Queen Anne Stakes
Rosallion, who finished third at Newbury, was the 5-2 favourite to get back on the winning trail and looked set to oblige after being produced with a well-timed run by Sean Levey, but having been last out of the starting stalls before fighting his way to the front, Harry Eustace's 14-1 shot Docklands refused to bend under Australian jockey Mark Zahra and clung on by a nose.

Former Wimbledon champion, 29, resurfaces in viral ad with Rafael Nadal three years after bombshell retirement
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FORMER Wimbledon champion resurfaced in a viral ad alongside Rafael Nadal. The Australian superstar was the No1 tennis player in the world and reigned at the All England Club in 2021.

But Ash Barty, 29, stunned the sporting world when she suddenly retired from tennis two months later at the top of the game. She has kept a low profile since, getting married to golfer Garry Kissick and welcoming the second of her two children last week, a daughter called Jordan. Now, though, after three years out of the public spotlight, Barty made a shock comeback.

Barty plays the role of Tasman Town's newest resident after buying a fixer-upper crumbling old house in the countryside. She then calls in a load of 'tradies' to get the pad in shape - with Australian sporting heroes including Erin Phillips, Peter Daicos, Dane Swan, Jason Gillespie, Buddy Franklin, Alexander Volkanovski, Dylan Alcott and Pat Rafter all arriving on site in their Kia Tasmans. Two-time Wimbledon finalist Rafter - naturally - is in charge of the turf with his company 'Best On Grass'. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS But when they spot the roof is in need of repairs, recently-retired Nadal is called in, having been sponsored by Kia for many years. And the Spaniard - dubbed Rafa's Roofs - hilariously picked up the video call on his phone and left Australians in stitches with his cameo and response. Carlos Alcaraz parties in Ibiza following French Open triumph Tennis stars' new careers PLENTY of tennis stars have stayed involved in the sport since retiring. But others pursued very different careers. Here are some of the best… I reached French Open and Wimbledon finals as a teenager but I quit to become a nun I won Wimbledon mixed doubles with my sister but got fed up with English weather so now run luxury B&B I was tipped for stardom aged 12 but retrained to become high-flying lawyer I earned £9m and won French Open before setting up bistro with Brazilian model girlfriend I'm last Frenchman to win Roland Garros, now I'm singer with six albums hitting No1 in charts I'm former world No1 but quit aged 29 - instead I went on to play professional poker and golf I was destined for the top but swapped lobs for labs as award-winning Harvard physicist He said: "I am flat out." Then leaning in towards the camera, he asked: "Is it a cashie?" - Aussie slang for an under-the-table cash-in-hand job. Like Nadal, Barty won the French Open - albeit just the once in 2019. That came just two years after she returned to tennis' majors following a two-year absence from the biggest tournaments as she took a break from the sport - and even played semi-pro cricket. Since hanging up her racquet for good, the Queensland queen has even played in pro golf tournaments as well as having her two children. Barty was a pundit for the BBC at Wimbledon last year and proved a popular addition - but the timing of Jordan's recent arrival may rule her out of 2025's tournament. 7 Barty retired from tennis three years ago Credit: YouTube/Kia Australia 7 In the commercial she buys a fixer-upper house Credit: YouTube/Kia Australia 7 The tradies arrive in their new Kia Tasman trucks Credit: YouTube/Kia Australia

Gout Gout's agent left him almost speechless with financial admission
Gout Gout didn't realise the impact of his sprinting career until his agent told him about a lucrative endorsement deal that Adidas came a-knocking with, which has changed his life forever Gout Gout couldn't quite believe it when his agent revealed that Adidas had came calling with an endorsement deal worth millions. The 17-year-old sprinter has made waves over the past couple of years in the world of athletics, shattering the Australian men's U18 200m record at his nation's Junior Athletics Championships two years ago with a time of 20.87 seconds. Meanwhile, in December 2024, the youngster secured the second-fastest U18 time in the same discipline at the Australian All Schools Championships, crossing the line in 20.04s. Not only did this time surpass the one that eight-time Olympic gold-medalist Usain Bolt achieved during his own younger years, but it also broke the Australian and Oceanian record set by Peter Norman in 1968. But it seems as though Gout Gout didn't quite understand the impact he had until interest from big-name brands arrived. A few weeks after his record-breaking feat, the youngster was told about a long-term deal with Adidas that is thought to be worth millions in the coming years. And speaking to GQ, Gout Gout explained that he was left almost speechless when his agent, James Templeton, told him how much he was set to receive as a result. He explained: "JT told me how much they were willing to pay to get me on their side. "It was crazy. The number kept getting higher and I realised how much these companies think I'm worth. But that sponsorship really helps you get to the next level because obviously you need the money to travel and to train. "Especially since I'm at school, so I don't need to go and find a job at Maccas or whatever to put fuel in my car. It definitely helps a lot." Elsewhere in his interview, the young sprinter showed his true colours by humbly revealing his biggest purchase since finding fame and fortune, while also sharing his long-term plans to help look after his family. He added: "I've saved a lot and I bought myself a new car when I got my Ps, so that's probably the biggest purchase I've made so far. I haven't gone crazy." A child of seven to his parents Bona and Monica, who fled South Sudan to resettle in Australia two years before he was born, Gout Gout added: "Long term, I'd like to set myself up and set my family up." While the sprinting prodigy may be a little while away from making waves at the Olympic Games, he has already left a sizeable mark in short-distance running. He achieved a silver medal at the 2024 World Championships in Lima in the 200m, while he settled for a fifth-place finish in the 4x100m relay of the same tournament. And as a result, Gout Gout has seen himself compared to Jamaican legend Bolt time and time again. However, keen to make a name for himself, the prodigy has admitted that the comparisons can get a little tiring. He told Nine last year: "My stride length is pretty long, my knee height is pretty high and just the amount of tallness I get when I'm running. I'm just me trying to be me. "Obviously, I do run like him. I do sometimes look like him, but obviously, I'm making a name for myself, and I think I've done that pretty well. I just want to continue doing that and continue to be not only Usain Bolt but continue to be Gout Gout."

Drake's jaw-dropping gambling losses exposed as he warns fans
Drake has issued a warning to fans after revealing the true extent of his gambling losses. The Passionfruit singer, 38, shared the reality behind the amount of cash he had lost through gambling as he shared a screengrab on Instagram - revealing he had lost $8million (£5.97million) in just one month. Addressing his 142million Instagram followers, he said: "Gotta share the other side of gambling... Losses are so fried right now... I hope I can post a big one for you soon cause I'm the only one that has never seen a Max these guys Max once a week." Toronto-born singer Drake, real name Aubrey Drake Graham, went on to share his latest bet on an NBA game, putting down a huge $800,000 (£596,400) through two wagers. It comes after a long and horrendous streak for Drake, who lost a $1million bet just a month ago, which he blamed Justin Bieber for. The music producer had bet on the Toronto Maple Leafs claiming victory in May against the Florida Panthers in the NHL. They ended up losing 6-1. Following the defeat, Drake joked that Justin's presence at the arena had been a 'curse'. Drake previously admitted that he is a "flawed" better. He said: "I am a flawed sports better. I will not deny that. That's not my gift." He added: "I'll let everybody roll with it." He added: "I'm sure if you're a 'Drake curse' believer, there'll be plenty more content in the future for you to confirm your theories cause for whatever reason my slips do not cash out. But one day I'm gonna have a parlay that's insane." Back in November, Drake also lost a major $355,000 (£264,652) bet back in November after Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson during their controversial fight in Texas. He posted his bet online, showing he was confident Tyson, 58, would beat Paul, 27. The odds for a Tyson win were at 2.85 at the time of Drake's bet, meaning the could have won a massive $1,011,750 (£802,116), making a profit of $656,750 (£520,672). But Drake lost the bet after Paul was announced as the winner of the fight, which was shown live on Netflix. Prior to that, Drake lost a number of other huge bets, including $1million (£790,000) for Argentina to beat France within 90 minutes at the 2022 World Cup final - which Argentina won during extra time. In 2023, Drake also lost another massive bet when he dropped $1.2million (£950,000) on boxer Paul to defeat Tommy Fury. Earlier in 2024, Drake put down $565,000 (£448,000) to back Tyson Fury in his heavyweight bout with Oleksandr Usyk - but he lost that too. However, one of the bets the rapper shared with his followers on Instagram saw him win $425,000 (£336,780) when Alex Poatan beat UFC rival Jamahal Hill on April 13. While Drake often shares his massive bets online, he is also a paid endorser of betting website Stake, which was co-founded by Australian billionaire Ed Crave. Being an endorser of the crypto-only casino means Drake is not likely to use his own money for the bets he posts online. Stake - which is banned in the UK - allows players to use cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin as assets for online gambling and for placing sports bets. The company operates under the jurisdiction of the Caribbean island nation of Curaçao. *If you are struggling with a gambling addiction, advice and support can be found at GambleAware.
