Alcaraz tops Sinner in a French Open final for the ages
Yahoo Sports AM is our daily newsletter that keeps you up to date on all things sports. Sign up here to get it every weekday morning. 🚨 Headlines 🏀 All knotted up: The Thunder dominated the Pacers, 123-107, on Sunday to draw even in the NBA Finals and improve to 30-2 against Eastern Conference teams this season. Advertisement 🎓 Revenue sharing is here: The NCAA's landmark antitrust settlement was finally granted approval on Friday, ushering in a new era of college sports where schools will make direct payments to athletes. We'll go deeper on this in the coming days. 🥎 Texas breaks through: The Longhorns were in the WCWS finals for the third time in four years. After losing to Oklahoma in their first two trips, they broke through against Texas Tech to win the school's first softball national championship and 64th NCAA crown. 🏀 Behind the scenes at MSG: Complaints from key Knicks players in exit interviews led to Tom Thibodeau being fired, sources told Yahoo Sports. The decision was spearheaded by owner James Dolan, whom sources said was never a huge Thibodeau fan. 🏒 Dallas fires DeBoer: The Stars are parting ways with head coach Pete DeBoer, who has led his team to the Western Conference Finals in six of the past seven seasons… and been fired three times. 🎾 Best match ever? Alcaraz wins five-set epic Carlos Alcaraz remains perfect (5-0) in major finals. () Normally, I wouldn't advise sitting on the couch for six straight hours with your eyes glued to the TV screen. But on Sunday, with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner engaged in a tennis match for the ages, watching six straight hours of TNT was one of the best decisions you could have made. Advertisement Instant classic: Alcaraz rallied from two sets down and saved three match points to beat Sinner, 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-2), and defend his title at Roland Garros in the second-longest Grand Slam final in the Open Era (5 hours, 29 minutes). Points won: Sinner 193, Alcaraz 192 Games won: Alcaraz 30, Sinner 29 Marathon man stays perfect: Alcaraz's 5-0 record in major finals is the best mark to begin a career since Roger Federer won his first seven. "Carlitos," known for his endurance, is now 13-1 in five-setters, while Sinner falls to 0-7 in matches that last more than four hours. Alcaraz won this match, nearly two hours later. (TNT Sports) The second coming: Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal (his childhood idol) were the exact same age when they won their fifth major: 22 years, 1 month, 3 days old. Nadal won No. 5 against Federer in "the greatest match ever played." 17 years later, his protege won No. 5 in another all-time final that rivaled his own. "When I was struggling, I tried to think of Rafa and all of the comebacks he made," said Alcaraz on Sunday. (TNT Sports) Summed up in a GIF: This was Alcaraz and Sinner's first meeting in a major final. I have a feeling it won't be their last. When that inevitable rematch does occur, can we please make sure Andre Agassi* is in the crowd? He could not believe what he was seeing on Sunday, and his reactions were priceless. Advertisement 🎥 Watch: Match highlights (YouTube) *Speaking of Agassi: The eight-time major champion is a fantastic analyst. I thought TNT aced its first year of French Open coverage, and he was a big reason why. I could listen to him explain the nuances of Alcaraz's revamped backhand all day long. 🌎 The world in photos () 🇺🇸 Saratoga Springs, New York — Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty surged ahead of Preakness winner Journalism to win the 157th Belmont Stakes by multiple lengths, earning his owners $1.2 million of the $2 million purse. Déjà vu: Sovereignty (1st), Journalism (2nd) and Baeza (3rd) finished in the same order at Saratoga as they did at Churchill Downs. We'll never know if they would have done the same at Pimlico, where Journalism took first while the other two skipped the race. () 🇨🇦 Edmonton, Canada — Brad Marchand's double-overtime winner lifted the Panthers past the Oilers, 5-4 (2OT), on Friday to even up the Stanley Cup Final at one game apiece. Advertisement Postseason legend: Since entering the NHL in 2010, Marchand ranks first among all players in playoff goals (63) and playoff game-winners (15). He's also second in playoff points (155) and third in playoff penalty minutes (205). () 🇩🇪 Munich, Germany — Cristiano Ronaldo was in tears on Sunday after Portugal beat Spain on penalties to win their second Nations League title. Ronaldo's 138th international goal (26 more than anyone else) took the final to a shootout, where Rúben Neves converted the winning kick. Tragic death: A spectator died after falling from the second tier of the main stand during extra time. The match continued as the fan received medical treatment but could not be revived. () 🇮🇹 Venice, Italy — Hundreds of rowboats took to Venice's iconic canals and surrounding lagoon on Sunday for the 49th Vogalonga, an annual regatta to celebrate Venetian rowing culture and protest the use of powerboats in the island city. Advertisement Tourist hot spot: Venice welcomes around 30 million visitors per year, which dwarfs the local population of ~60,000. A fascinating watch if you're interested: Why Nobody Lives in Venice ⛳️ 3 years in, LIV's future is cloudier than ever LIV signage at this weekend's tournament in Virginia. () We're in the midst of two pretty significant anniversaries for LIV Golf. If you weren't aware of that, well, that's one of the many challenges that the breakaway tour continues to face, month after month, year after year. From Yahoo Sports' Jay Busbee: Three years ago on June 9, 2022, LIV Golf's first-ever event teed off at the Centurion Club in London. Two years ago on June 6, 2023, LIV and the PGA Tour announced a stunning "framework agreement" that brought an end to the legal hostilities between the two tours and, in theory, laid the groundwork for future reconciliation and unification. Advertisement Now, in 2025, the dream of a LIV-PGA Tour unification seems about as likely as Tiger Woods winning the U.S. Open next week… and no, Tiger Woods is not playing in the U.S. Open next week. Whatever LIV Golf is now, "threat" is not it. And for all the PGA Tour's many missteps, misfires and mistakes, there's a very clear leader in the match-play duel between the two. It's worth remembering that for several months in 2022, LIV appeared to pose an existential threat to the PGA Tour. Yes, that first tournament was more spectacle than competition, but it did feature some of the biggest names in the sport — Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Sergio García — and some astounding paychecks. Soon afterward, Patrick Reed, Brooks Koepka and Bryson Dechambeau would join LIV, giving the breakaway tour a shot of juice and attitude the PGA Tour, at the time, simply couldn't match. The problem for LIV, though, was that attitude and gobs of cash were pretty much all the series had to offer. That's the fundamental problem for LIV Golf — it's a series that still hasn't found a way to connect with most fans on a deep level. And two years out from the "framework agreement," the PGA Tour doesn't seem particularly inclined to do anything but wait out LIV until its Saudi financial backers either capitulate or pull the plug entirely.

Deion Sanders Made Transfer Earn Number—and it Paid Off
Deion Sanders Made Transfer Earn Number—and it Paid Off originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Colorado head coach Deion Sanders offers something more foundational compared to other college coaches. An NFL-experienced staff and a culture built on competition. It's a big reason why everything at Colorado must be earned. When LaJohntay Wester wanted to get No. 1 last year, he earn it from Sanders, who doesn't give out his best jersey to anyone. Advertisement Sanders' message has been clear to all his players. Show up and be the best you can at all times. Tulsa transfer wide receiver Joseph Williams recently went on the record about being courted by Coach Prime while being committed to Utah. The 2024 AAC Freshman of the Year told the Reach The People Media's Darius Sanders there was another school willing to give him No. 8. But Coach Prime explained Williams it's that easy, it's not worth it. 'I'm not going to say the school, but a school made a phone call when I told them I wanted No. 8. He said, 'Yeah, reserve the number until I say otherwise,'' Williams said. 'But Coach Prime said I had to come in and earn it. That really got me. He's not going to give me what I want just because I want it. I have to earn everything. My jersey number, things I need, things I want.' Advertisement For Williams, Sanders' basis for earning the number was eye-opening. Related: Deion Sanders' Cryptic Three-Word Message Comes After Publicizing Health Setbacks 'My whole life, we didn't live the best, we struggled a little bit,' Williams said. 'My mom always taught me never take the easy way out. If you take the easy way out, nothing good is gonna come out of it. Hearing Coach Prime say that, all I heard was my mom—'No easy way outs.' That was super big for me.' Related: Lil Wayne Sends Clear Message to Deion Sanders in Tha Carter VI Sanders' message isn't for everyone. Especially with NIL deals being offered in massive amounts. But Williams is a natural fit for his mindset. He brings character to a deep WR room ready to catch passes from either Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter or five-star Julian 'JuJu' Lewis. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 8, 2025, where it first appeared.
