Zverev fights back to oust defending champion Popyrin from Canadian Open
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Aug 4, 2025; Toronto, ON, Canada; Alexander Zverev (GER) celebrates after winning a set against Alexei Popyrin (AUS) during quarterfinal play at Sobeys Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Alexander Zverev rallied from a set down to beat defending champion Alexei Popyrin 6-7(8) 6-4 6-3 in Toronto and move into the semi-finals of the Canadian Open on Monday. Top seed Zverev was unable to convert two set points in a tight first set, but built up 3-0 leads in both the second and third sets to clinch the win in two hours and 42 minutes. The victory took the German's head-to-head record against Australian Popyrin to 4-0 and sent him to his 75th semi-final on the ATP Tour, joining Novak Djokovic as the only active men's tennis player to have reached the mark. "I had to tell myself, even though I lost the first set, I thought we were both playing actually quite well," said Zverev, who won the Canadian Open in 2017. "I had to find a return position in the beginning because he's a very big server, and when he gets into a rhythm, it's very difficult against him. "I did that in the second and third set. Honestly, I can't complain about much. I played one loose game on my serve in the second set, but apart from that, it was pretty good." Zverev next faces Russian Karen Khachanov, who beat Alex Michelsen of the United States 6-4 7-6(3). Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

The 18-year-old, ranked 85th in the world, found herself a break down early in the second set, but won six straight games to become the first Canadian to reach the semi-finals of the Canadian Open since 2019. "I'm so excited to be in the semi-final here. I want to thank everyone for your support once again. It has been unreal," said Mboko, who beat No. 1 seed Coco Gauff on Saturday and is set to enter the top 50. Mboko next takes on Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, who was leading 6-1 2-1 when her opponent, Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine, was forced to retire from their quarter-final match due to a wrist injury. Rybakina will meet Mboko for the second time in as many weeks, with the ninth-seeded Kazakh winning 6-3 7-5 when the pair faced off in the Washington Open last month. REUTERS

Hong Kong billionaire developer Tai Hung Fai gets private loan
[HONG KONG] Hong Kong developer Tai Hung Fai Enterprise, founded by billionaire Edwin Leong, has secured a private loan of up to HK$900 million (S$148 million), sources familiar with the matter said, as more property firms turn to such financing. Dignari Capital Partners, an Asian private debt firm, provided the two-year loan, which will go to covering construction costs for a 30-storey office tower in the western part of Hong Kong Island, the sources said. The location at 92-103A Connaught Road West is near a memorial park for the revolutionary Chinese leader Sun Yat-sen, and close to the waterfront with views over the famed Victoria Harbour. Total capital provided for the loan up to the maximum drawdown will depend on construction costs and the needs of the project manager, the sources said. A spokesperson for Tai Hung Fai declined to comment, while Dignari did not respond to requests for comment. Hong Kong developers are increasingly seeking private credit, after China's years-long property debt crisis spilt over into the city, leaving banks wary of piling on more real estate debt as they struggle to handle a growing pile of non-performing loans. In May, Gaw Capital Partners provided a HK$300 million private loan to Hong Kong real estate developer First Group Holdings, while investment firm PAG provided Hong Kong Parkview Group with a HK$300 million private bridge loan, Bloomberg News reported in May. Tai Hung Fai was founded in 1977 by Leong initially as an investment company. It's since evolved into a property development firm with a portfolio of over 450 retail shops, commercial buildings and several hotels, including the Hotel Indigo and Hotel 1936, according to the company's website. Leong has a net worth of US$3.3 billion as at Jul 31, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. BLOOMBERG
