French Open: Jannik Sinner drops just 3 games to extend Grand Slam unbeaten run to 17 matches
PARIS: When Jannik Sinner 's opponent in the French Open 's third round finally won a single game Saturday, the Court Suzanne-Lenglen crowd responded with a standing ovation. Sinner was simply too good on this day, extending his Grand Slam winning streak to 17 matches and looking very much like the No. 1-ranked man. Sinner dominated Jiri Lehecka 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 in just 1 hour, 34 minutes, the quickest men's match at Roland-Garros this year and, measured by games lost, the most lopsided victory at a major tournament of Sinner's career. "We try to improve," Sinner said. "Today, I don't think there are many things I can improve." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Can say that again. Check out some of the numbers: Sinner delivered 31 winners and made only nine unforced errors. He accumulated 18 break points, converting seven, and faced just one, which he saved. Live Events The first 11 games went Sinner's way. When Sinner missed a return wide, making the score 6-0, 5-1 after 55 minutes of action, Lehecka raised his arm and pumped his fist in a bit of sarcastic celebration. The fans went wild, rising out of their seats and clapping and shouting, eliciting a smile from Lehecka. Make no mistake, though. Lehecka is no also-ran. The 23-year-old from the Czech Republic is ranked 34th and has been a Grand Slam quarterfinalist. But he was completely overmatched by Sinner, who has won the past two major championships - at the U.S. Open in September and the Australian Open in January - and is now the owner of an unbeaten run at the sport's most important tournaments that's been surpassed this century only by a trio of guys by the names of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Sinner's bid for a first French Open title, and fourth Slam trophy overall, will continue Monday, when he'll face No. 17 Andrey Rublev for a quarterfinal berth. Rublev advanced when his opponent, No. 14 Arthur Fils, withdrew from the tournament because a stress fracture in his lower back. What else happened at the French Open on Saturday? Jessica Pegula , the No. 3-seeded American who was the runner-up at the U.S. Open, came back to eliminate 2019 French Open finalist and 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 and reach the fourth round. No. 6 Mirra Andreeva, an 18-year-old Russian who reached the semifinals a year ago, advanced to a fourth-round showdown against No. 17 Daria Kasatkina. American qualifier Ethan Quinn, the 2023 NCAA champion for the University of Georgia, played his second consecutive five-setter and was beaten by Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands 4-6, 6-1, 6-7 (2), 6-1, 6-4. Griekspoor came into the day 0-4 in third-round matches at majors. Who is on the schedule at Roland-Garros on Sunday? No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka and the two defending champions, Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz , are all scheduled to appear in the fourth round Sunday. There are three American men in Week 2 in Paris for the first time since 1995, and all are in action: No. 12 Tommy Paul, No. 13 Ben Shelton and No. 15 Frances Tiafoe. Shelton faces Alcaraz, Paul goes up against No. 25 Alexei Popyrin, and Tiafoe meets Daniel Altmaier.

Avinash Sable's family in Beed celebrates historic win in Asian Athletics Championship
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Athlete Avinash Sable made the country proud on multiple occasions, but his latest gold medal at the Asian Athletics Championship left an indelible mark — not just on Indian athletics, but also on his family waiting quietly in a remote corner of Maharashtra. Two kilometres off the nearest village road, in a small farmhouse near Mandva village in Beed's Ashti tehsil, Sable's family lives a life of quiet perseverance. Avinash is the eldest of the three children of farmer couple Mukund and Vaishali Sable. In conversation with TOI, Avinash's mother recalled the last time she saw him — during Diwali. "He's been working hard for over 10 years. I feel sad when he doesn't come home for months. We hardly even get to talk to him over the phone. I share one mobile phone with my husband. I last spoke to him more than a month ago and at that time he had told us that he was going to travel a long distance to participate in the matches," she said. But the sorrow of not being able to talk to him for over one month turned to joy when they received the news of his gold medal — India's first in the event in 36 years. "After we heard he had won a gold for India, our sadness turned into happiness. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo We've been told he's competing far away. We're now just waiting for him to call. We did not even get to speak to him after he won the latest gold medal for India," Vaishali said. While Sable previously brought home several medals, this particular victory carries special weight for both the nation and his loved ones back home. The achievement brought hordes of villagers to Sables' doorstep. His father Mukund added, "We are illiterate. It was our younger son Yogesh, who studied beyond 15 classes (graduate), saw the news on his mobile phone and told us what Avinash did. We feel very proud of him." Sables are marginal farmers in the remote hamlet bordering Ahilyanagar district. Despite their elder son's achievement, life remains unchanged in many ways—marked by hard work on their five acres' farm in an arid region, with lack of access to road, and limited means of communication. Proud of the recognition that Avinash's achievement has brought to the family, Vaishali said, "Once you reach Beed, ask anyone for Avinash Sable's home and people will guide you. The only problem is that there is no motorable road to our modest house we constructed on our farm." The couple said they had reached out to many in the administration as well as people's representatives with a request to construct a road, but in vain.

Former Rajasthan Royal co-owner threatens to expose finiachial irregularities
