Yahoo20-07-2025
TORONTO (AP) — Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner, 24-time Grand Slam title winner Novak Djokovic and No. 5-ranked Jack Draper all withdrew Sunday from the Masters 1000 tournament in Toronto that starts in a week.
The No. 1-ranked Sinner cited his injured right elbow, which he hurt in a fall in the fourth round at the All England Club on the way to his first title there and fourth major trophy.
He won his first Masters 1000 title in Toronto in 2023.
'Winning that title in Toronto two years ago was the start of a really special moment for me, but after speaking with my team, I have to recover,' Sinner said.
Djokovic blamed a groin injury for his withdrawal from an event he has won four times.
Djokovic lost to Sinner in the semifinals at Wimbledon.

Skylar Diggins has another triple-double and Storm defeat Sun 101-85

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Skylar Diggins had a triple-double, Nneka Ogwumike scored 26 points and the Seattle Storm blew past the Connecticut Sun 101-85 on Monday night. Nine days after recording the first triple-double in WNBA All-Star Game history, Diggins did it again with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists against the Sun. Seattle led 57-46 at halftime, then Ogwumike had nine points and Diggins scored four as the Storm added 13 points in the first three minutes of the third quarter. Seattle scored 30 points in the period and took an 87-58 lead into the fourth. Ogwumike shot 11 for 13, including 4 of 5 on 3-pointers. She did not attempt a shot in the fourth quarter. Seattle's 86.7% shooting in the third quarter was a franchise record for any quarter. The Storm cooled down in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 points. They finally reached the 100-point mark when Zia Cooke hit a jumper with nine seconds left. Williams scored 16 points, Dominique Malonga had 12 and Ezi Magbegor 10 for Seattle (16-11). Bria Hartley scored 17 and Tina Charles added 11 for Connecticut (4-21). Jacy Sheldon scored 11 off the bench and Olivia Nelson-Ododa had 10. The Storm's 57 first-half points were one less than they managed in a 69-58 loss to Washington on Saturday. Seattle has alternated wins and losses for eight straight games since defeating Eastern Conference leader New York 79-70 on July 6. Up next Seattle: The Storm get three days off before a home game against Los Angeles on Friday, the first of three straight at home. Connecticut: The Sun host New York on Friday in the third game of a four-game homestand. ___ AP WNBA:
