Alcaraz Beats Lehecka In Queen's Club Final Ahead Of Wimbledon Defense
The top-seeded Spaniard replicated his debut triumph on the grass courts of west London in 2023 with a 7–5, 6–7 (5), 6–2 victory. It was an 18-straight match win for Alcaraz – in his fifth consecutive final – following his title successes in Rome and at the French Open. Lehecka had knocked out home hope Jack Draper on Saturday to become the first Czech finalist since Ivan Lendl won the title in 1990.
The 23-year-old Lehecka played his part in a high-quality final with some huge serves and powerful ground strokes, forcing the match to a decider via a tiebreaker. But Alcaraz, the defending Wimbledon champion, did not face a single break point and slammed down 18 aces on his way to a 21st career title and second at Queen's. Wimbledon starts June 30.

Sabalenka stunned by Rybakina in Cincinnati, Alcaraz into semifinal
CINCINNATI: Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka was dismantled 6-1 6-4 on Friday by Elena Rybakina who powered into her first Cincinnati Open semifinal with a display of clinical serving. The Kazakh ninth seed delivered a brilliant performance to secure her seventh career win over a top-ranked player and set up a blockbuster clash with Poland's Iga Swiatek in a showdown of Wimbledon champions. Rybakina fired 11 aces throughout the match, earning an impressive 81 percent of points on her first serve, while saving all five break points she faced as she secured her fifth win over Sabalenka in 12 meetings. 'I'm happy with the serve. It was the key,' former world number three Rybakina said. 'We're both big hitters. Today I served really well. If Aryna serves well, it's completely different. Hopefully I continue like this.' Earlier, third seed Swiatek advanced to her first WTA 1000 semifinal in 15 months, beating Russia's Anna Kalinskaya 6-3 6-4. Kalinskaya, who had defeated Swiatek in their only previous meeting, put up a spirited fight by saving four match points, before the six-times Grand Slam winner converted her fifth opportunity on serve to seal the victory. 'I just played my game,' Swiatek said. 'For sure, it wasn't easy. Just happy I was solid and had the intensity to apply pressure.' Veronika Kudermetova breezed past Varvara Gracheva 6-1 6-2 to reach her first Cincinnati semifinal. The Russian seems to be back to the form that once carried her into the Top 10, earning her first WTA 1000 last-four spot since 2023. She will next face either second seed Coco Gauff or seventh-seeded Italian Jasmine Paolini in the semis. In the men's draw, second seed Carlos Alcaraz survived a three-set battle against Russian ninth seed Andrey Rublev, claiming a 6-3 4-6 7-5 win to reach the last four. The Spaniard was far from his best, committing 15 unforced errors and three double faults in the decider, but capitalizing on his lone match point, courtesy of a Rublev double fault, to secure his 15th consecutive Masters 1000 win. 'Playing someone like Andrey, when you lose focus on two or three points, it can cost you the set or the match. I just stayed strong mentally and that's what I'm most proud of,' Alcaraz said. 'It's just accepting the moment, accepting that I am playing a third set, that it's going to be a really tough battle, and I love that,' he added after setting up a showdown with either third seed Alex Zverev or American fifth seed Ben Shelton. Five-times Grand Slam champion Alcaraz, winner of 37 of his last 39 matches, advanced to his 12th Masters 1000 semi, equalling the mark of Italian top seed Jannik Sinner, who faces Frenchman Terence Atmane in the other last-four clash.

Isak to Miss Start of Premier League Season for Newcastle Amid Uncertainty Over Future
Alexander Isak remains unavailable for selection for Newcastle heading into the start of the Premier League season amid ongoing uncertainty over the Sweden striker's future at the club. Isak was the subject of a bid from Liverpool during the offseason and has been training away from the Newcastle squad, having indicated he wanted to explore his options. 'Alex's situation has been unchanged for a while,' Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said Friday, a day before the team's league opener at Aston Villa, 'and that will continue to be the case.' According to The Associated Press, Howe wouldn't discuss whether he has asked Isak to play against Villa, saying those conversations needed to stay private. He did say, however, that the offseason has been challenging given the absence of the team's star striker. 'Certainly early preseason, I haven't shied away from saying that was a difficult period for the players, for us, because any change is always difficult to react to,' Howe said. 'You can see that this summer in our early preseason performances. 'But I think the players are really strong mentally, they are a really tight group, they have really come together in the latter stages of preseason.' Howe said his players know the situation is 'not ideal' but 'they realize, without Alex, everyone is going to have to step up and give more.' Isak, who joined Newcastle in 2022 from Real Sociedad, netted 23 goals in the Premier League last season, placing him second in the scoring chart behind Liverpool's Mohamed Salah. Newcastle is close to signing midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Villa but Howe said the player wouldn't be involved in the game on Saturday.

Silva Laments Fulham's 'Passive' Transfer Activity as Premier League Opener Nears
Fulham manager Marco Silva has criticized the club's "passive" approach in the close-season transfer window, with only one signing secured ahead of their Premier League opener against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday. Fulham, who finished 11th last season after flirting with European qualification, have so far signed goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte from French side Montpellier on a free transfer. Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson, who spent last season on loan at Craven Cottage, has been linked with a move to Fulham, while the West London club's Brazilian forward Rodrigo Muniz has reportedly attracted interest from Italian side Atalanta. "It's not an ideal scenario. You used the word 'quiet' — I have to say we've been too passive. If you asked me if I expected it, I'd say of course not. But it is what it is, it's the market," Silva told reporters on Thursday, according to Reuters. "It's important we didn't get injuries during pre-season because, in some positions, we are very short on numbers. We want to at least have a squad and players on the bench to play a Premier League game and meet the demands the league asks of you. "It's unexpected, even if it's normal for Fulham to sign players late. I don't go in that direction — I know what we want, and the plan was there." Muniz, who has scored 26 goals in 97 appearances for Fulham since joining in 2021, remains part of Silva's plans for the Brighton match despite speculation about his future. "It is not for me to comment on any type of offers, but he is going to be in contention for the Brighton game. Rodrigo knows what I think about him and how important he is," Silva said of the 24-year-old Muniz. Fulham visit Brighton before hosting Manchester United on August 24. With the transfer window set to close on September 1 for Premier League clubs, Silva is hopeful of bolstering his squad before the deadline day. "Let's hope we can do something before the end of the month, because right now it doesn't make sense for us to look toward the Brighton game or even the Man Utd game, as we've left it very late to reinforce the positions we need," Silva said.
