Tennis star struggles to keep cool after complaining about crying baby in stadium
During the final set of the match, Raducanu's concentration was broken by a crying infant in the stands, leading her to vocalise her annoyance to the chair umpire.
The umpire responded by asking if Raducanu wanted the child removed, prompting cheers from the crowd.
The long and tireless match lasted over three hours, with Sabalenka ultimately clinching the win 7-6(3), 4-6, 7-6(5).
Raducanu is next scheduled to play in the 2025 U.S. Open, participating in the main draw of the women's singles.

Iga Swiatek and Alexander Zverev advance in rain-hit Cincinnati Open
Third seed Iga Swiatek reached the Cincinnati quarter-finals with a straight sets win over Sorana Cirstea, while Alexander Zverev needed just one game to complete victory over Brandon Nakashima before rain halted play again. Wimbledon champion Swiatek extended her perfect record against Cirstea to 5-0 and will next face the winner of an all-Russian clash between Anna Kalinskaya and Ekaterina Alexandrova. "We played many tough matches, so I know Sorana can really hit the ball well, especially on faster surfaces," Poland's Swiatek said. "I'm happy I was solid enough. I was trying to be proactive with my serve, not many of my first serves went in, but I was happy I was solid on my second serves." Fellow Pole Magda Linette upset fourth seed Jessica Pegula 7-6(5) 3-6 6-3 in a third-round match that extended over two days after Tuesday's suspension due to rain. The American had levelled the match at a set apiece, but on Wednesday's resumption Linette earned the break before closing it out on serve for her second Top-10 win of the season. In the men's draw, Zverev completed a 6-4 6-4 win over Nakashima after the match was suspended overnight when he was leading 5-4 in the second set. The German third seed is set to return to the court later on Wednesday, aiming to avenge last week's Toronto semi-final loss to Russian Karen Khachanov.

No talking: Micah Parsons mum, Jerry Jones digs in as Dallas standoff continues
August 13 - By Field Level Media Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and hold-in All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons made no formal progress in their contract staredown on Wednesday, and only one of the principal parties was willing to talk. Parsons said leaving the field after watching the team workout, "my mouth is closed." Jones resisted feigning optimism about a breakthrough in talks when the team breaks training camp and heads back to Dallas from Oxnard, Calif. "I don't know that necessarily talks will," Jones said. "But we've got a game coming, and he's under contract." Jones said there is "nothing" standing in the way of the team negotiating with Parsons, who said he formally and directly requested a trade out of Dallas to executive vice president Stephen Jones, Jerry Jones' son, earlier this month. "I stayed quiet but again after repeated shots at myself and all the narratives I have made a tough decision I no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys," he wrote in a social media post on Aug. 1. "My trade request has been submitted to Stephen Jones personally." Jerry Jones said Wednesday there is no deadline for the two sides to come to terms on a deal when asked if he could see negotiations ceasing before the regular-season opener at Philadelphia on Sept. 7. "You don't have a deadline when you're playing under contract," he said. Parsons, 26, was present on Wednesday but never took the field as the Cowboys went through their final padded practice of camp. The two-time All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowl selection is in the final year of his rookie contract and scheduled to be paid $24.007 million this season.
