Alcaraz saves three match points to take French Open final against Sinner to fifth set

Associated Press PARIS (AP) — Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz has forced a deciding set in the French Open final after saving three match points against Jannik Sinner. Alcaraz was trailing 5-3, 40-0 in the fourth set on Sunday before rallying past his rival, winning a tiebreaker 7-6 (3). Sinner, the top-ranked player, won the first two sets 6-4, 7-6 (4) before Alcaraz claimed the third set 6-4. Sinner and Alcaraz share seven major titles, four for Alcaraz and three for Sinner, who is in the French Open final for the first time. Sinner is on a 20-match winning streak in Grand Slam tournaments, after winning the U.S. Open and the Australian Open. The 22-year-old Alcaraz owns a tour-leading 21-1 record on clay this year and has beaten the 23-year-old Sinner in their past four meetings. He leads him 7-4 overall. ___ AP tennis: in this topic

Matthieu Pavon pokes fun at himself after making a 12 at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open

Matthieu Pavon pokes fun at himself after making a 12 at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open Golf is a silly game, and even for the best players in the world, sometimes it requires a sense of humor to get through the tough times. Enter: Matthieu Pavon. The 32-year-old Frenchman shot even-par 70 in the first round of the 2025 RBC Canadian Open on Thursday and had a solid chance at making the weekend with a good round Friday. That possibility went out the window after just one hole, though, when Pavon made a 12 on the par-4 10th to start his second round. The massive number dropped him more than 50 spots on the leaderboard, and he ultimately finished third-to-last, just one behind world No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who had a rough week in his own right. Now, it wouldn't be the most shocking thing in the world to see a performance like that at your local muni on a given weekend, but how does a player on the PGA Tour — the highest level of golf in the world — make a 12? Well, Pavon explained exactly how. In a hilarious post to X on Saturday, Pavon walked through "The easy guide to making a perfect 12." Here's his breakdown: Step 1: "First shot: Feeling confident off the tee after a brilliant warm up. Pull the shot 40 [yards] left into deep rough." Step 2: "Get lucky: ball is plugged. Make a perfect drop — going for the green is tempting, although a little voice in your head says 'get back to the fairway.' Decided to go for it. Grass closed the clubface at impact — straight into the trees." Step 3: "Dead! Try to go back to the fairway but failed. Now deep in the thick rough." Step 4: "Feeling smart now, try to anticipate the clubface closing at impact. Wasn't successful. Ball straight in the water!" Step 5: "Drop." The expert advice on how to make a 12 😅 — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) June 8, 2025 Step 6: "Great decision: Dropping 60 yards from the pin on a tight and wet surface. Fat the shot, ball in the water!" Step 7: "Drop again." Step 8: "Head is gone. So why not try again from 60 yards instead of going a few steps back to you favorite 88 yard [shot]? Fat the shot again. Water." Step 9: "Drop again (starting to master it) from the same spot." Step 10: "Realize there are only two balls left in the bag. Play smart: aim left to avoid the big slope pulling balls back into the water." Step 11: "Finally on the green. God, it feels good! Looking back at the 10th tee and feeling like the clubhouse is not so far away. Nice lag to 1 foot to make sure I'm not making three putts (not great for the stats)!" Step 12: "In! Highest personal score on a single hole in career. Walk to the next tee, try to pinch myself, ask my caddie if it was a 10? Turns out it was a 12! Think about John-Louis Guepy, the record-holder for most consecutive birdies (10). Why not? Birdied the next two... and came back to earth with a bogey on 13!" It was likely an embarrassing moment for Pavon, but nothing that a few jokes can't fix. And hey, it's not the worst score ever recorded on the PGA Tour. Not even close, actually. Pavon now turns his attention toward Oakmont, where he'll look to avoid a 12 and capture his first major victory at the 125th U.S. Open.

Who is Steve Sabins? West Virginia coach has Mountaineers in NCAA super regionals

Who is Steve Sabins? West Virginia coach has Mountaineers in NCAA super regionals Show Caption Hide Caption 5 men's NCAA baseball tournament players to watch The Mongomery Advertiser's Adam Cole and The Tennesseean's Aria Gerson break down the top players to watch in the men's NCAA baseball tournament. The super regional round of the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament is filled with familiar faces in the dugout, stalwart coaches who have come to define the sport over the course of their respective careers. There's 64-year-old Dave Van Horn, who has been the coach at Arkansas for two decades and has the Razorbacks well-positioned for their 10th College World Series appearance under his watch. There's Tony Vitello, the unapologetically brash Tennessee coach who's a year removed from leading the Vols to their first-ever national title. There's Jay Johnson, the LSU coach who guided the Tigers to a CWS championship in 2023 and had Arizona within a game of doing the same in 2016. Among those still in the hunt to take their teams to Omaha, Nebraska for the 2025 CWS are greener, lesser-known figures. REQUIRED READING: NCAA baseball tournament bracket: Super regional matchups, schedule, pairings for CWS West Virginia is in the super regionals for just the second time in program history, with this run coming under the watch of coach Steve Sabins. The fresh-faced Sabins is in his first season as the Mountaineers' coach, but has quickly made his impact felt, leading them to a Big 12 regular-season championship and an NCAA tournament regional title. Though they dropped the first game of their Baton Rouge Super Regional series against No. 6 LSU on June 7, falling 16-9, they can make the CWS for the first time in program history with two wins against Johnson's squad. As West Virginia goes for that historical feat, here's a closer look at Sabins and his background: Steve Sabins West Virginia Sabins isn't just in his first season as West Virginia's head coach. He's in his first season as a college baseball head coach, period. He was hired into the role in June 2024, taking over for the retiring Randy Mazey. Mazey's career ended on a high note, with the Mountaineers advancing to the super regional round for the first time ever before being eliminated by No. 4 North Carolina. Sabins has successfully picked up where his former boss left off. Entering its June 8 game against LSU, West Virginia is 44-15 and won an outright conference regular-season championship for only the second time since 1997, making it through Big 12 play with a 19-9 record. Though Sabins is in his first season as head coach, he wasn't a stranger to the Mountaineers' program. He was an assistant at West Virginia for the previous nine seasons, from 2016-24, first as an assistant coach and later as the associate head coach. He was also recruiting coordinator from 2021-23. As an assistant, Sabins helped bring in some of the most prolific recruiting classes in program history. In 2018 and 2019, West Virginia signed back-to-back top-25 classes, the first time it had ever done so. Prior to West Virginia, Sabins spent four seasons in various roles at Oklahoma State, serving as a graduate assistant, volunteer assistant and player development coordinator. The Austin, Texas native graduated in 2011 from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, where he played his final two college seasons after previous stops at Oklahoma State (2009), Daytona State College (2008) and Angelina College (2007).
