Rybakina outlasts Yastremska to reach WTA Montreal quarter-finals
Former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina beat Dayana Yastremska 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 on Saturday to book a quarter-final clash with Marta Kostyuk at the WTA Canadian Open in Montreal. Rybakina outlasts Yastremska to reach WTA Montreal quarter-finals Kazakhstan's Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion who won her first title in more than a year at Strasbourg in May, was slowed by nine double faults. But she ultimately had enough to get past Ukraine's Yastremska who was coming off a straight-sets victory over eighth-seeded American Emma Navarro. Yastremska fell behind an early break in the first set, but took advantage of Rybakina's early serving woes to break back, and broke again to take the opening set in a game that Rybakina had led 40-0. Rybakina, seeded ninth, bore down after that, breaking Yastremska twice to take the second set. Another untimely double fault cost her a break in the third, but she broke Yastremska for the second time in the set to take a 6-5 lead and held on to seal it on her fourth match point with a high backhand volley winner. She'll face another Ukrainian in Kostyuk, who came from behind to beat American McCartney Kessler 5-7, 6-3, 6-3. Kostyuk reached the quarter-finals of WTA-1000 events at Qatar and Madrid this year, but she arrived in Montreal having not won a match since reaching the fourth round in Rome. "I hadn't won a match in three months before this tournament I didn't have a lot of confidence coming into it," she admitted, thanking her team for "sticking with me". Top-seeded American Coco Gauff headlined the night session, taking on 18-year-old Canadian wild card Victoria Mboko. Gauff, the reigning French Open champion, has been erratic in clawing her way into the fourth round with a pair of three-set victories and will be looking to step it up against the home hope, who has thrilled fans in her first main draw appearance in the event. Mboko is in the round of 16 in a 1000-level event for the first time. She took Gauff to three sets on the clay courts of Rome earlier this year and said she was "really excited" for another shot at the American. "She's the number one seed of this tournament," Mboko said. "I'm going to really expect a hard fight. It's always great to play such incredible athletes and incredible players like her." The winner of that match will play either China's Zhu Lin or Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, who are both seeking to reach the quarters of a 1000 level event for the first time. Zhu, once ranked as high as number 31 in the world, has dropped to 493rd after missing the last five months of 2024 and another three months earlier this year with an elbow injury. bb/js This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Luka Doncic Drops Bold 6-Word Championship Bombshell After $165M Los Angeles Lakers Max Contract Extension
Luka Doncic extended his L.A. Lakers' contact (Image via Instagram / @lukadoncic) Luka Doncic is officially the new face of the Los Angeles Lakers - and he's not shying away from expectations. Just hours after signing a massive three-year, $165 million contract extension, the All-NBA guard delivered a powerful six-word declaration at his introductory press conference: 'We're going to go for it. ' The message, reported by ESPN's Dave McMenamin, came as Doncic addressed the media following confirmation of his max deal, which includes a player option for the 2028 season. The statement, simple but confident, sets the tone for what could be a new era of Los Angeles Lakers basketball. Los Angeles Lakers Restructure Roster Around Luka Doncic Luka Doncic 's arrival and extension have accelerated a transformation in the Los Angeles Lakers squad. Acquired in February in a blockbuster deal that sent Anthony Davis to Dallas, the 26-year-old has quickly become the centerpiece of the Lakers' future. His presence has already reshaped the roster. Los Angeles added center Deandre Ayton on a two-year, $8.1 million deal after his buyout with the Trail Blazers, and brought in Marcus Smart on a two-year, $11 million contract. Both moves are aimed at reinforcing the core around Doncic, with Smart bringing championship experience and Ayton adding interior presence. Veteran forward LeBron James is also back after opting into his $52.6 million player option, setting up a potentially dominant pairing with Doncic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo Head coach JJ Redick now has a dynamic mix of youth, leadership, and playoff pedigree heading into his second season.

21k killed in 34k road accidents in U'khand since 2000; 25% in Doon, highest fatalities in US Nagar
1 2 Dehradun: Since its formation in 2000, Uttarakhand has recorded 34,014 road accidents, according to data obtained by TOI through an RTI query filed by Dehradun-based social activist Anoop Nautiyal. Dehradun accounts for nearly 25% of these mishaps, with 8,314 incidents, while Udham Singh Nagar has reported the highest fatalities, followed by Haridwar. In 2023, Dehradun registered around 28% of all road accidents in the state (481 out of 1,691), a share that rose to 29% in 2024 (511 out of 1,747). The capital also leads in accident-related injuries. In 2024, 431 people were injured in Dehradun, representing 28% of the state's total (1,547). The figures for 2023 and 2022 stood at 27% and 23%, respectively. "There is a flurry of action from authorities only after events of casualties. Road engineering should be an integral element of a city, but that is severely lacking in Dehradun. In 2024, nearly 30% of the state's 1,747 accidents occurred in Dehradun alone — almost five every day. These rash driving accidents should not be seen in isolation. While many are caused by human error, others stem from lack of red lights, potholes, or poor road engineering. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I thought my dad was 'boring'. Now, I'm learning that boring stuff is often what matters most CNA Read More Undo Hardly ever is the action-taken report made public," said Nautiyal. The recent death of a woman on a two-wheeler after being hit by a speeding bus near ISBT has once again highlighted the menace of rash driving. Residents blame increasing vehicle numbers on the road, limited infrastructure and lack of enforcement for the growing chaos. "For us, getting onto the main Rajpur road is a struggle. Drivers refuse to slow down or give way. Over-tourism has worsened the problem, with infrastructure lagging behind vehicle growth. Everyone is in a rush," said Bharti Jain, an architect from the Rajpur area. Residents also said that social media trends have contributed to the spike in speeding and rash driving. According to data shared by the Dehradun traffic police, 1,867 challans were issued for rash driving in 2023, 1,564 in 2024, and 1,460 till June this year. SP (Traffic) Lokjeet Singh said enforcement is a priority. "We have formed a dedicated team patrolling the city in civil dress. In July alone, we identified 21 offenders and will soon issue challans. We will continue such exercises to ensure safe driving in the city," he said. However, the increasing numbers in recent years present a worrisome trend when it comes to road safety in the capital. Out of 21,625 road deaths since 2001, almost 25% (5,334) have occurred in Udham Singh Nagar, followed by Haridwar (4,783). The fatality number for the capital remains slightly lower at 3,766. Sushil Gava, a social activist, told TOI that the reasons for these fatalities are alarming — blatant flouting of traffic rules, overspeeding, drunk driving, and overloading are rampant, especially among commercial vehicles. "Most accidents occur on isolated highways or rural stretches where there's no CCTV surveillance, and poor lighting, delaying critical first aid. The absence of trauma centres, ill-equipped ambulances, and lack of trained emergency responders further exacerbates the situation. Pothole-ridden roads, encroachments, and unregulated auto and e-rickshaw movement in urban pockets only add to the chaos. Without systemic reforms and accountability, this crisis will only deepen," he said. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
