Alcaraz & Sabalenka among Wimbledon title hopefuls
Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka will start among the favourites for the Wimbledon singles titles [Getty Images] Wimbledon 2025 Dates: 30 June-13 July Venue: All England Club Coverage: Live across BBC TV, radio and online with extensive coverage on BBC iPlayer, Red Button, Connected TVs and mobile app. Qualifying is complete. The pristine grass courts lie in wait. The strawberries have been picked. The queue is growing. The wait is over - Wimbledon returns on Monday. Advertisement The world's best tennis players have descended on SW19 for the 2025 Championships, ready to battle for one of the sport's biggest prizes. Here's what to look out for. Alcaraz chases three-in-a-row feat Carlos Alcaraz will bid for a third consecutive Wimbledon title after beating Novak Djokovic in the past two finals on Centre Court. Spaniard Alcaraz, who overturned a two-set deficit to beat world number one Jannik Sinner in one of the all-time great French Open finals in June, is only 22 years old but already has five slams. Djokovic, meanwhile, continues to pursue an outright-record 25th major singles title, having tied Margaret Court with his 2023 US Open triumph. Advertisement The 38-year-old Serb has been thwarted recently by the new stars of the men's game, with Alcaraz and Sinner sharing the past six majors between them. Carlos Alcaraz saved match points before winning this year's French Open final [Getty Images] Italy's Sinner will hope to bounce back from his Paris heartbreak, with Wimbledon the only Grand Slam where he has yet to contest the final. A semi-final loss to Djokovic in 2023 represents his best SW19 run after his quarter-final exit last year. His preparations this time were cut short by a second-round Halle Open loss to the in-form Alexander Bublik, who could be a threat after his title triumph there. World number four Jack Draper leads Britain's hopes in the men's draw, with Jacob Fearnley and Cameron Norrie also aiming for deep runs on home soil. Advertisement Another wide-open women's draw? Not since 2016, when Serena Williams was champion for the seventh time and second year running, has a player managed to win back-to-back women's singles titles at Wimbledon. Last year, Barbora Krejcikova triumphed to follow in the footsteps of Czech compatriot Marketa Vondrousova, who 12 months earlier became the first unseeded player to lift the Venus Rosewater Dish. World number one Aryna Sabalenka, who has reached the final in five of the past six slams she has contested, has yet to reach the Wimbledon showpiece match. The Belarusian, 27, is a three-time Grand Slam singles champion but has been runner-up in the past two major finals, at the Australian Open and French Open. Aryna Sabalenka has lost successive Grand Slam finals, to Coco Gauff at Roland Garros and Madison Keys at the Australian Open [Getty Images] Roland Garros champion Coco Gauff arrives as one of the main contenders, but she has never progressed beyond the fourth round in London. Advertisement Last year's runner-up Jasmine Paolini, the Italian world number four, will look to go one step better this year. Meanwhile, former world number one Iga Swiatek - who beat Paolini handily in Bad Homburg on Friday - and 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina will also hope to challenge. British number one Emma Raducanu leads home hopes in the women's draw, where she is joined by Katie Boulter and Sonay Kartal, who have both spent time in the world's top 50 of late. However, Raducanu has been handed a difficult draw. Former champion Marketa Vondrousova is a possible second-round opponent, while Sabalenka is likely to be waiting should she reach round three. Who else is aiming for Wimbledon glory? Britain's Henry Patten will attempt to retain the Wimbledon men's doubles title he won with Finland's Harri Heliovaara last year. Advertisement They enter as the second-ranked pairing in the world, behind only El Salvador's Marcelo Arevalo and Croatia's Mate Pavic. The defending champions in the women's doubles are Czech Katerina Siniakova and American Taylor Townsend, the top-ranked pair in the world. Britain will have high hopes of success in the men's wheelchair competitions. Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have won 20 of the past 26 wheelchair men's doubles Grand Slam titles [Getty Images] Alfie Hewett won the men's singles at his home slam for the first time last year to complete a career Grand Slam - and then retained the doubles title alongside compatriot Gordon Reid. Last year's runner-up Martin de la Puente and Japan's world number one Tokito Oda are Hewett's main rivals as he attempts to defend the singles. Advertisement In the wheelchair women's singles, Dutch marvel Diede de Groot will look to add to her record 23 singles titles as she pursues a seventh Wimbledon title - and a fifth in a row. De Groot, whose Wimbledon win last year gave her a 15th successive singles major, subsequently spent eight months out after undergoing hip surgery following her Paralympic silver medal. Japan's Yui Kamiji has won the past two Grand Slams, with De Groot in the early stages of her return to competition.

Detroit Tigers return to Sunday Night Baseball for first time since 2017
Detroit Tigers return to Sunday Night Baseball for first time since 2017 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been over eight years since Detroit played under the Sunday night lights at Comerica Park. Advertisement Tarik Skubal was still in college. The last time ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" rolled through Detroit, in May 2017, Skubal was recovering from Tommy John surgery and redshirting at Seattle University. He wouldn't pitch again until 2018. Now he's a Cy Young winner, and he's taking the mound Sunday against the Twins as the Tigers return to the national stage. A lot has changed. Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal celebrates after an inning-ending double play against the Cleveland Guardians during Game 2 of the ALDS at Progressive Field on Oct. 7, Richard-Imagn Images Fidget spinners were the hottest thing on the internet. TikTok hadn't even launched. Aaron Judge was a rookie with raw power and zero endorsements. The iPhone 7 was new. Miguel Cabrera still hit over .300. The Tigers were starting Anibal Sanchez and trotting out a lineup with Ian Kinsler, Justin Upton, Victor Martinez and Nicholas Castellanos, now known as Nick. Advertisement Since then, the world has turned over a few times too. COVID-19 shut down everything in 2020. Stadiums went quiet. Fans were replaced by cardboard cutouts and pumped-in crowd noise. Elbow bumps replaced high-fives. But the world came back to life, and baseball did too. And the Tigers? They've clawed their way back. Tonight, Comerica gets the national spotlight again. A big-time matchup in a division race, led by one of the best pitchers in baseball. Detroit spent a long time in the shadows. But with Skubal on the mound, the Tigers are back And, they're dangerous. It's been more than 2,900 days since Detroit last hosted "Sunday Night Baseball." The lights are back on. The city's buzzing. And the Tigers? Advertisement They're finally back in the conversation.

How to watch Wimbledon 2025: live stream tennis online for FREE from anywhere
You're still thinking about that final, aren't you? A repeat sure would be nice, but only if Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner earn it as the last of the 128 still standing. Amazingly, of the 10 top-ranked women only Jasmine Paolini has ever reached the Wimbledon final, let alone won it. That was 12 months ago, when she was beaten by the criminally underrated Barbora Krejcikova. You can watch Wimbledon 2025 from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free. Wimbledon 2025 runs from Sunday, June 30 to Sunday, July 13. Full schedule below.► Daily start time: 6 a.m. ET / 3 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. BST / 8 p.m. AEST► FREE STREAM — BBC iPlayer (U.K.) / 9Now (Australia)► U.S. — ESPN via Sling TV / ESPN Plus► Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free The grand slam of grand slams, the most major of the majors, Wimbledon is a special event. The replacement of the line judges with an automated system this year, however, feels like the loss of something sacred. Their immaculate get-up, characterful calls and even their occasional errors, prompting the communal slow clap that would meet every challenge, will be sorely missed. While it's tough to envisage Jack Draper mixing it up with the likes of Alcaraz and Sinner, his ascent to world No.4 has, for the first time since Andy Murray's heyday, raised hopes amongst the locals. Though he hasn't won a slam in nearly two years, Novak Djokovic looks as likely a contender as anyone. The seven-time champion has laid low since Roland Garros in an effort to conserve his mental and physical fitness — a triumph on the grass courts would be a record 25th grand slam. Coco Gauff's French Open triumph and Iga Swiatek's extended slump has put a bit of pressure on Aryna Sabalenka. Despite being virtually ever-present at the top of the rankings for the past 12 months, she only has the US Open title to show for it, and she's never made it beyond the semi-finals in SW19. They won't be among the top seeds, but Marketa Vondrousova, Elena Rybakina, Beatriz Haddad Maia and Karolina Muchova could be dark horses. An untimely thigh injury may have put paid to Krejcikova's title defence.
