Emma Raducanu ‘asks for crying child to be EJECTED from stadium' in tense exchange with umpire and crowd agree
The British star was serving at a crucial point in the deciding third set, when cries from the crowd disrupted her focus.
Serving at 3-4 in the first set, Raducanu had to fend off several break points for the world No1.
Stepping up to serve at deuce, Raducanu halted her motion and turned back after a child cried out.
Frustrated, the British star turned to the umpire and said: "It's been, like, 10 minutes."
Incredulous, the umpire said: "It's a child. Do you want me to kick the child out of the stadium?"

College coach goes viral for blistering rant about money ruining young football players
With the landscape of college athletics ever changing, one coach is reminding his players the real reason why they're in school and is pushing against the idea of playing college football to earn money. Earlier this year, the so-called 'House settlement' paved the way for colleges and universities to pay student-athletes part of their revenue earned from athletics each year. This, on top of name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, means that athletes have greater earning potential in college than ever before. Couple that with the increasing popularity and use of a transfer portal and student-athletes have become akin to free agents in professional sports. One school suffering from that is Northern Illinois University (NIU) - which competes in the Mid-America Conference (MAC) and lost 19 football players to the transfer portal after last season. In a blistering rant, NIU head coach Thomas Hammock railed against the changing culture in the sport and reminded his players that college is about more than jumping from school to school to earn money. As promised, here's the full video of Thomas Hammock's impassioned remarks on the state of the transfer portal. Hammock briefly highlighted his own experience as college athlete, saying he considers the lessons he learned in college more valuable than any financial incentive.… — Skyler Kisellus (@skylerkisellus) August 13, 2025 'Yeah, to me, to be honest with you, I love the challenge,' Hammock told reporters in a press conference. 'It don't bother me one bit because you know what? In life, you're going to make decisions. Sometimes it's going to work in your favor, and sometimes it's not. 'I told our team the other day, "We lost all these guys. Let's see who plays." So it's all good when people put it on Twitter, Hey, all glory to God, I'm going on the transfer portal. Let's see if they play. How many of them guys going to play or travel or get snaps? 'I was going to tweet something the other day, a picture of me, and say, You know what? I enjoyed my college experience. I didn't get one dime, but the lessons I learned was more valuable than any money you can ever pay me. And I appreciate that because that is long term. People are losing the fact that this is short term. 'I coached in the National Football League for five years. Five years, right? Don't lose focus of work the long term. Get your degree, learn valuable lessons that's going to help you in the long term of your life. That's the whole purpose. 'This is a transition from being a kid to a grown up. And I hope people don't lose focus of that. Everybody's talking about everything else besides what is the most important thing for going to college. Because if you're going to college to go get a couple of dollars, you might as well go get a job. This is too hard to go get a couple of dollars. 'Learn the lesson that you need to learn to be successful in life for the next 40 to 50 years of your life. I would do it again for free, for free, because of the things I learned. That's why I'm standing here today because of what I learned in college, not because of how much somebody gave me. That's what I would tell people. 'Parents, they need to learn that lesson, too. Stop trying to live through your kids. Go teach your kids what are the things they need to learn to be successful. That's what I'm telling my kids. 'I don't care about no NIL, no revenue share. I can care less. You need to learn things in college to get you prepared for life, to be a father, a husband, to work, everything are the most important things. That's what people are missing, in my opinion. Just my opinion.' NIU opted-into the House settlement, paving the way for the school's athletes to receive a revenue share from the university. The Huskies went 8-5 last season - including a program-defining victory over eventual national runners-up Notre Dame in South Bend. But the loss of those players could set the team back as they prepare for the upcoming season in just two weeks. NIU opens their season at home on August 30, when they host Holy Cross.

100 years of AP All-America football teams: Here's who we think are the best of the best
Ohio State and Pittsburgh each placed three players on The Associated Press All-Time All-America team announced Thursday as part of the news organization's celebration of the 100th anniversary of the storied honor for the top players in college football. Since 1925, nearly 2,000 men have been named AP first-team All-Americans, one of the most prestigious honors in the sport. The Big Ten led all conferences with seven selections, two more than the Southeastern Conference. Of the 25 players on the first team, five won the Heisman Trophy and 21 are in the College Football Hall of Fame, two are nominated for induction in 2026 and two are not eligible because they are not yet 10 years removed from their college careers. A panel of 12 AP sports writers who cover college football selected the all-time team. It won't be, and shouldn't be, considered definitive. There have been far more great players over the last century than spots available. For a player to qualify, he must have been an AP first-team All-American at least once. His professional career, if any, was not to be considered. Also, a member of the all-time team could only be listed on the side of the ball where he was named first-team All-America. All-purpose players could come from any position. Voters were cautioned against recency bias, but it is notable that only three of the first-team selections played before 1970. Of the 12 players who were three-time All-Americans, only four made the two all-time teams picked by AP. Florida's Tim Tebow edged Texas' Vince Young (2005) for all-time first-team quarterback. Tebow won the Heisman and made the AP All-America team as a sophomore in 2007, his first year as the starter. He led the Gators to their second national championship in three years in 2008 and narrowly missed a chance at another when the 2009 team started 13-0 but lost to Alabama in the SEC championship game. He remains the SEC career leader in rushing touchdowns and touchdowns responsible for. Oklahoma State's Barry Sanders (1988) and Georgia 's Herschel Walker (1980-81-82), both Heisman winners, are the running backs. Marshall's Randy Moss (1997) and Pittsburgh's Larry Fitzgerald (2003) are the wide receivers. The offensive line is made up of Ohio State's Orlando Pace (1995-96) and Pitt's Bill Fralic (1982-83-84) at tackle, Alabama's John Hannah (1972) and Ohio State's Jim Parker (1956) at guard and Penn's Chuck Bednarik (1947-48) at center. The tight end is Georgia's Brock Bowers (2023). The all-purpose player is Heisman winner Johnny Rodgers of Nebraska (1972). On defense, Pitt's Hugh Green (1978-79-80) and Maryland's Randy White (1974) are the ends and Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh (2009) and Minnesota's Bronko Nagurski (1929) are the tackles. The linebackers are Illinois' Dick Butkus (1964), Alabama's Derrick Thomas (1988) and Ohio State's Chris Spielman (1986-87). The secondary is made up of Heisman winner Charles Woodson of Michigan (1996-97) and Florida State's Deion Sanders (1987-88) at cornerback and Southern California's Ronnie Lott (1980) and Miami's Ed Reed (2000-01) at safety. The specialists are Florida State kicker Sebastian Janikowski (1998-99) and Iowa punter Tory Taylor (2023). Many fans might say Anthony Munoz and Ray Guy, among others, are glaring omissions. Munoz, who played at Southern California from 1976-79, is considered one of the greatest offensive linemen of all time, college or pro. He's in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Alas, he was never a first-team AP All-American. Guy, who played at Southern Mississippi from 1970-72, he remains the only punter selected in the first round of an NFL draft. But punters were not included on AP All-America teams until 1981. First team offense Wide receivers — Randy Moss, Marshall, 1997; Larry Fitzgerald, Pittsburgh, 2003.
