Jannik Sinner

For the first time in his career, Jannik Sinner is a Wimbledon champion. After losing Carlos Alcaraz In the French Open final last month, Sinner received sweet revenge on Sunday.

Sinner left Roland-Garros with a sour taste in his mouth after he had taken a 2-0 lead in the final, and he seemed to be in trouble against Alcaraz in Wimbledon. Alcaraz took the first set before the sinner immediately rattled three to win the game.

After what happened at the French Open, Sinner was determined to repair and improve his mistakes. That’s exactly what he did, and He found the winning formula against Alcaraz.

“At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter if I won or lost [in Paris]It was just as important [after the] Tournament to understand what you did wrong, “said Sinner.” That is exactly what we did. We have tried to accept the loss and just continue to work. I am so grateful that I am healthy and I have great people around me. ”

Not only was this Sinner’s first Wimbledon victory, but he also made some history as the first Italian man who won the tournament. Moreover, Sinner broke the 20-match winning streak from Alcaraz while the Spaniard went for his third consecutive title.

This competition was Just another chapter in a budding rivalry Between two of the best young players in the world, Brad Crawford writes.

• Crawford: “It is difficult to imagine that a player on tours beat these two consistently when they are at their best. Sinner has reached four consecutive Majors finals with two victories, while Alcaraz just saw a long-term grass-Court winning streak-end of his fifth career grand slam.”

In addition to the pride of winning at Wimbledon, this title Sinner also yielded a cool $ 4.1 million. The complete breakdown of payouts Can be seen here.

⚽ And not such a good morning for …

Paris Saint-Germain

Achieving the FIFA Club World Cup final is in itself a worthy achievement, but Paris Saint-Germain Maybe I want to forget everything that happened after they have come there.

The Parisians were hammered in a 3-0 loss for Chelsea in Metlife Stadium, and the game was never really close. Chelsea’s Cole Palmer scored goals in the 27th and 30th minutes, and Joao Pedro sent his team at rest with a 3-0 lead. PSG has never mounted any resistance and Chelsea drove to a victory, as Charles Booth writes.

• Booth: “It felt as if the Parisians no longer had steam in the game, and their press was not there when Chelsea created a chance with runs through the flanks. Malo Gusto ran through the PSG defense for the opener of Chelsea, and from there it seemed as if only one team was playing in the game.”

To make it even worse for PSG, manager Luis Enrique stuck in the middle of the controversy After the game. Enrique seemed to push Pedro when players from both parties came together in a fight.

😩 Not so honorable mentions

🔥 sec burning questions

The talking season is officially for us in the SEC. Media days start on Monday in the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, and each team is confronted with a few questions this summer.

During the week, SEC coaches will take the stage before the training camp starts, and they will do their best to give some answers. That said, those answers probably don’t come until the games are played.

For example, Deboer’s Balen led Alabama to a record of 9-4 last year. In most places that is worth a party, but not in Tuscaloosa. As Brandon Marcello writes in his Burning questions for every SEC teamHow much does the heat appear on the farmer if he cannot get this schedule in the play -off of the University Football?

• Marcello: “Alabama is more talented this season than last year. Although many will pay attention to the observed Quarterback battle between Ty Simpson and Austin Mack, is the big question of the image: what happens if Deboer is missing the play-off fog with one of the more talented graters of the nation?”

Elsewhere around the world of University Football there is a lot of expectations around former former Byu quarterback Jake RetzlaffThe transfer decision. Brad Crawford a few potential landing places recorded.
