Marquez wins Dutch MotoGP Grand Prix
Spanish Ducati Lenovo rider Marc Márquez continued his grip on the MotoGP World Championship with victory on Sunday in the Dutch Grand Prix at the Assen circuit.
The 32-year-old Marquez achieved his third consecutive victory and his sixth this season in the 10-round series of the championship, following previous wins in Thailand, Argentina, Qatar, Aragon (Spain), and Italy, according to Anadolu Agency.
The six-time world champion raised his points tally to 307 points in first place, widening his lead to 68 points over his younger brother Alex Márquez, the Gresini Ducati rider, who finished second, and 181 points ahead of his teammate, Italian Francesco Bagnaia, who finished third.
As Assen celebrated the 100th anniversary of the race, Marc, who started second on the grid, led on the second lap, with Italian Marco Bezzecchi of Aprilia finishing second and his compatriot Francesco Bagnaia third.
Bagnaia, a two-time world champion, had won the last three races in Assen, but despite an early lead, he dropped to fourth before recovering to claim the podium ahead of Spaniard Pedro Acosta of KTM.
Márquez's closest rival for the title, his younger brother Alex Márquez, was eliminated after a collision with Pedro Acosta on lap six, which resulted in a fractured left hand and forced him to retire.

Sinner avenges Alcaraz to win Wimbledon title for first time
London – Saba: Italian Jannik Sinner won his first Wimbledon title after defeating Spain's Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion for the past two years, in the final held on Sunday evening in London. Sinner won the match in three sets to one, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, in three hours and four minutes, claiming his fourth Grand Slam title and avenging his loss to Alcaraz in the Roland Garros final last month. The start of the match was tense and cautious from both sides, as each player held serve until Sinner broke Alcaraz's serve in the fifth game, taking advantage of the Spaniard's errors. However, Alcaraz quickly responded in the eighth game, breaking serve and winning the first set 6-4 after an exciting exchange of balls. In the second set, Alcaraz's performance faltered, with unforced errors paving the way for Sinner to break back early and take a 2-0 lead. Despite the Spaniard's attempts to come back, the Italian maintained his advantage and won the set by the same score, 6-4. The third set was evenly matched until the ninth game, when Sinner broke Alcaraz's serve after intense pressure at the net, before also clinching the set, 6-4. Sinner continued his dominance in the fourth set, opening the game with an early break after a backhand smash down the line. Alcaraz attempted to respond in the eighth game but missed two break points due to unforced errors. Sinner then closed out the match on serve, declaring his historic Wimbledon title.
