Sinner, the defending champion, produced a flawless performance to beat Terence Atmane 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 without facing a single break point. Alcaraz advanced with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Alexander Zverev, who struggled to cope with the humidity. The top two in the game have clashed in the last two Grand Slam finals.

Upcoming Cubs-Brewers Series Could Decide NL Central Winner
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Milwaukee Brewers have taken MLB by storm since the All-Star break. Multiple winning streaks of 10-plus games have catapulted the Brewers to first place in the National League Central and have given them the best record in MLB. Monday, Milwaukee will begin its most important series of the season against the Chicago Cubs and the series could reveal the clear winner in the NL Central. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - JUNE 17: Pete Crow-Armstrong #4 of the Chicago Cubs hits a solo home run during the eighth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field on June 17, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - JUNE 17: Pete Crow-Armstrong #4 of the Chicago Cubs hits a solo home run during the eighth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field on June 17, 2025 in Chicago, Brewers entered Monday with a commanding eight-game lead over the Cubs in the division. Chicago will have a chance, though, to trim into that lead this week. The two teams begin a five-game series at Wrigley Field beginning Monday. It will be the final time this season the two sides play each other. Not only is the series important for division purposes, but the winner of the series will also be the winner of the season series which could eventually be a tiebreaker at the end of the year. For the Brewers, dropping two or three games in the series wouldn't be a major ordeal. Their current lead in the division gives them a bit of leeway to slip up and lose a few games. Chicago on the other hand, is in a must-win situation if it has any hopes of winning the NL Central for the first time since 2020. Today is the first day the Cubs have gained ground on the Brewers since July 30. They were a game out of first place then. They fell to 9 out before today. Hard to pick up ground when the team you're chasing never loses…unless you sweep a lot of doubleheaders! — Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) August 17, 2025 A day-night doubleheader Monday will set the tone for the entire series. Milwaukee will have its ace, Freddy Peralta on the mound in Game 1. Chicago will counter with its Rookie of the Year contender Cade Horton. Horton has a 0.32 ERA since the All-Star break, and he is the exact pitcher the Cubs would want on the mound to try and get a series-opening win. A series win for the Brewers would all but guarantee a third straight NL Central title barring an improbable September collapse.

Former No. 1 Overall Pick Predicted to Play Elsewhere Next Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This season did not go the way the Baltimore Orioles hoped it would. A promising young core of players were expected to lead the Orioles to the top of the American League East for a second straight season, but that is not at all what happened. The lack of success from one player in particular has sparked trade conversations and left folks wondering what the likelihood is that former No. 1 pick Adley Rutschman could be traded in the offseason. BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - AUGUST 08: Adley Rutschman #35 of the Baltimore Orioles bats against the Athletics at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on August 08, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland. BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - AUGUST 08: Adley Rutschman #35 of the Baltimore Orioles bats against the Athletics at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on August 08, 2025 in Baltimore, Report's Kerry Miller believes that Rutschman may be a top trade target when the offseason rolls around. "Adley Rutschman felt like the long-term face of this franchise almost immediately upon his arrival in the big leagues in May 2022. Yet, here we are, 39 months later, and the Orioles have failed to sign him (or any of their other young stars) to a long-term extension," Miller wrote. There were hefty expectations for Rutschman coming into the big leagues and he lived up to those in his first two seasons. The 2023 season, especially, was the best in the young career of the former top pick. A season slash line of .277/.374/.435 with 31 doubles, 20 home runs and 82 RBIs made it look like Rutschman was already one of the best catchers in MLB and would remain one for foreseeable future. That has not, however, been the case as injuries and poor play over the last two seasons have taken Rutschman out of those conversations. He entered Monday hitting .227 with nine home runs after hitting just .250 with 19 home runs last season. The struggles from Rutschman are just one factor that could lead to him being traded. Sunday, the Orioles promoted MLB's top catching prospect Samuel Basallo to the major leagues for his debut. Combine the impending production from Basallo with the fact that Baltimore's top two picks in this season's MLB Draft were catchers, and it feels like the writing may be on the wall for Rutschman's departure from the team that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2019.
