Jannik Sinner still thinking about French Open final defeat to Carlos Alcaraz
The Italian held three consecutive match points in the fourth set of last weekend's clash at Roland Garros, having also led by two sets to love, only for Alcaraz to fight back and claim a fifth grand slam title in what has been hailed as one of the best major finals of all time. Both men are back in action next week, with Alcaraz top seed in the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club, while Sinner will compete in the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle. "I still think about those couple of points" 💔@janniksin on *that* Roland-Garros final vs Alcaraz#TWO25 — Tennis TV (@TennisTV) June 14, 2025 The world number one headed home to Italy following the defeat but is hoping to find some solace back on the match court. He told Tennis TV: 'It was for sure a tough loss. I still think about these couple of points, and it won't stop here, I know that. 'But, in the other way, I'm happy to be here, I'm happy to start a new tournament. I think this helps me to get again into this match rhythm, and let's see how I'm going to react. 'You can see the negative side but there is also a positive side. I've never played tennis on clay like this. 'I went to Rome, I made the final there. I played in Paris, I made the final of a grand slam, so amazing, and the level we have played, me and Carlos, was extremely high so I was happy to be a part of this.' Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz both began their Wimbledon preparations by playing at this week's Boss Open in Stuttgart, and they will meet in the final. Top seed Zverev defeated Ben Shelton, who will make his top-10 debut on Monday, 7-6 (8) 7-6 (1) in the semi-finals while Fritz saw off Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4 7-6 (5). Fritz's return to form this week will see him climb back above Jack Draper and Novak Djokovic into fourth place in the rankings whatever the result of Sunday's decider.

Aston Villa make contact with Real Betis over deal for Spain U-21 winger Jesus Rodriguez - who has also attracted interest from Chelsea
Aston Villa have made contact with Real Betis over a deal for winger Jesus Rodriguez who has attracted attention from Chelsea. Unai Emery is looking to improve his options out wide this summer and Villa have registered their interest in Rodriguez, the promising 19-year-old. Rodriguez is currently on international duty with Spain at the U-21 European Championships and comes into the tournament off the back of his breakout season. He scored three goals in his 32 senior appearances across all competitions during the last campaign, and he is a product of Betis' youth system. A winger who predominantly plays on the left, Rodriguez was brought on as a second-half substitute in Betis' Conference League final defeat to Chelsea. Villa must balance their books before the Profit and Sustainability Rules deadline on June 30 and may therefore have to offload players. However, the club are also working on incomings and Rodriguez is a potential target. Villa recently missed out on the signing of Rosenborg midfielder Sverre Nypan after he agreed to join Manchester City in a deal worth £12.5million. Emery may be braced to lose several of his senior first-teamers. Chelsea and Arsenal admire Morgan Rogers, but it would take a sizeable bid for Villa to consider selling.
