Tennis delivered the day’s drama at Wimbledon, where Karolina Muchova saved a match point and outlasted Coco Gauff in a gripping deciding-set tie-break to reach the women’s final after more than two and a half hours in the Centre Court heat. Football’s spotlight splits between the pitch and the politics around it: France face Morocco in a high-stakes 2026 World Cup quarterfinal, while FIFA refereeing chief Pierluigi Collina has moved to defend officials after Egypt alleged bias in its defeat to Argentina. Off the field, Manchester United have taken a significant step toward a new era, confirming the site of a proposed 100,000-seat stadium just a few hundred metres from Old Trafford. And in basketball, UCLA have landed a major long-term prize by signing Serbian teenager Nikola Kusturica, already being talked about as a future NBA No. 1 pick.
