Former White Sox closer Bobby Jenks dies at 44
Jenks, a flame-throwing reliever who appeared in the 2006 and 2007 All-Star Games, was 44 years old.
"We have lost an iconic member of the White Sox family today," said White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. "None of us will ever forget that ninth inning of Game 4 in Houston, all that Bobby did for the 2005 World Series champions and for the entire Sox organization during his time in Chicago. He and his family knew cancer would be his toughest battle, and he will be missed as a husband, father, friend and teammate. He will forever hold a special place in all our hearts."

Xabi Alonso ready for fresh start with Real Madrid after Club World Cup exit
Xabi Alonso is looking forward to "starting from scratch" with Real Madrid next season after being thrown into the deep end as coach of the Spanish giant at the Club World Cup. Alonso received a reality check on Wednesday when Madrid was handed a 4-0 defeat by European champion Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals at MetLife Stadium. "PSG are a team who have been built over time, whereas we are practically just beginning," Alonso said after seeing Real Madrid fall two goals behind inside nine minutes. It was 3-0 before halftime, and PSG added a late fourth as it advanced to Sunday's final against Chelsea. "We have lots of room for improvement," Alonso said. "There are many things that we want to do better. "We have to be self-critical. This will tell us things for the future that will help us to compete at a much better level than we did today." Alonso was appointed at the end of May, taking over from Carlo Ancelotti after a successful 2½ years at Bayer Leverkusen. Real finished as runner-up to Barcelona in La Liga and the Copa del Rey, and went out of the Champions League in the quarterfinals against Arsenal. The Basque technician, a former Madrid player, would have preferred a full preseason with his squad before being thrust into competitive action, and it was always going to be a big ask for the club to beat PSG's well-oiled machine. "They are at a very high level and have been since the start of the knockout phase of the Champions League," Alonso said. "They have shown it again here, and we have to accept it — we are just beginning, learning things about where we want to go and how we are going to get there." Real eased into the knockout phase of the Club World Cup despite being held by Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia in its opening game. It then recorded narrow wins over Juventus and Borussia Dortmund prior to Wednesday's defeat. Alonso demonstrated his tactical flexibility during the tournament by changing between a back-four and a three-man central defense. Kylian Mbappe was used sparingly and sat out the group stage after being hospitalized with a stomach bug, but there were positives elsewhere. New signings Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen got their first taste of action for the club, and young striker Gonzalo Garcia made a big impression with four goals in the first five matches. Luka Modric, 39, made his farewell appearance against PSG, bringing down the curtain on a glorious 13-year spell at the club. He is now set to join AC Milan. "This game is the last match of this season, not the start of the next one," Alonso insisted. "We will take positives away from this. We come away from here a better team, and I am convinced this will help us start next season better." Like all the European teams that go deep into the Club World Cup, the turnaround to next season will be a quick one. Alonso's La Liga debut as Real coach is scheduled to come at home against Osasuna on Aug. 19. Attempts to have the fixture postponed have so far been unsuccessful, meaning there are less than six weeks for the players to have a break and then embark on a full preseason with their new coach. Argentine starlet Franco Mastantuono, a 17-year-old attacking midfielder, will arrive from River Plate in time for the new campaign after a transfer fee of around £63 million euros ($74 million) was agreed to last month. "In August the 2025-26 season begins," said Alonso. "Things are going to be different. We are starting from scratch."

Iga Swiatek surprised by run to first Wimbledon final
Iga Swiatek says she is surprised by her run to the Wimbledon final after dispatching former Olympic champion Belinda Bencic with ease. The five-time Grand Slam champion wrapped up a dominant 6-2, 6-0 semifinal victory against her 35th-ranked opponent in just 71 minutes on Centre Court on Thursday. The Polish No. 8 seed is more renowned for her strength on clay, with four French Open titles among her collection of trophies. She also won the 2022 U.S. Open on the hard courts of Flushing Meadows. But the former world No. 1 is just one victory away from winning on the grass of Wimbledon — the Grand Slam where she had enjoyed the least success before this year. "Honestly, I never even dreamed that it's going to be possible for me to play in the final," said the 24-year-old, whose previous best at Wimbledon was a run to the quarterfinals in 2023. "So I'm just super excited and proud of myself, and I don't know, tennis keeps surprising." Swiatek, who will face U.S. 13th seed Amanda Anisimova in Saturday's final, has not won a title since last year's French Open. After slipping down the rankings, she is back among the world's top four players having reached her first ever grass-court final at Bad Homburg last month. Despite her impressive form, she has largely gone under the radar at the All England Club this year, dropping just one set so far. Swiatek said in her postmatch news conference that she was enjoying her newfound prowess on grass. "Every Slam is totally different," she said. "It's hard to compare these journeys. But for sure, like, for now I've been enjoying just this new feeling of being a bit more comfortable on grass. I'm kind of maybe thinking about it a bit more. "For sure I'm enjoying it. But obviously there have been Slams where I enjoyed my game as well." The Polish player said it was important not to overthink her approach on grass. "You kind of have to follow your instincts ... this is kind of fun in some way and different from other surfaces where you have more time to build the rally or something," she said. Anisimova overcame top seed Aryna Sabalenka in three hard-fought sets earlier on Thursday and will face Swiatek for the first time in their professional careers. "For sure, she must be playing great," Swiatek said. "She also had great tournament before Wimbledon (reaching the final at Queen's). She knows how to play on grass. "With her game style, the surface fits her. So it's going to be a challenge. "I haven't watched a lot, so I'm going to just prepare tactically tomorrow."

For Christian Horner, a brutal end to a highly successful reign at Red Bull
Christian Horner twice transformed Red Bull into Formula One's dominant team over his two decades in charge but he was unceremoniously axed on Wednesday amid declining fortunes and internal disputes. A Red Bull team whose time at the top was clearly ending — Max Verstappen won just two of 14 races to end last season — and a draining spell early last year when he was cleared of inappropriate behavior toward a woman team member should have rung alarm bells for the 51-year-old. Instead, just as he did when those allegations emerged in February 2024, Horner carried on working in the hope he could reignite another period of dominance.
