2 h. ago Raducanu and Boulter laugh off Queen’s doubles defeat with singles to come

British pair lose 6-2, 7-5 to Routliffe and KichenokSonay Kartal beaten 6-1, 6-3 by Amanda AnisimovaWith a place in the semi-finals on her debut at Queen’s hanging in the balance, Emma Raducanu flitted towards the net in an attempt to pluck a floating ball out of the air. She has effortlessly dispatched similar balls thousands of times, but on game point while a set down, her forehand drive volley landed closer to the back fence than the court.Normally, she would react with frustration to such an easy miss on an important point. This, however, was only doubles. As she turned away and comically planted her palm on her face, she could not hide her smile. Katie Boulter, her doubles partner, laughed out loud.

47 h. ago Governors Ball 2025: Olivia Rodrigo and Hozier reign over New York festival

While there were less zeitgeisty moments in this edition, acts like Young Mikoand Benson Boone still brought energy to New York’s cheaper CoachellaFor the past year, I have dined out on the story of being in the Sunday crowd at last year’s Governor’s Ball. That sweltering afternoon in the sun, the largest crowd of New York’s premier music festival – more than could fit on the lawn of Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens – gathered at an unusual hour for a mid-bill set. If you’re lucky, there are a few times in the life of a regular concertgoer when it is not just another great show, when you can feel the gravity of the zeitgeist shift. Chappell Roan, dressed as the Statue of Liberty and ferried to the stage in a giant apple, belting Red Wine Supernova to a sea of pink cowboy hats in one of the loudest sing-backs I have ever heard, is one of those times, a clear sonic boom of a cultural rocket taking off.Roan’s star-making moment turned out to be a stake in the ground of a tentpole...

53 h. ago Alcaraz’s ridiculous victory over Sinner sets tone for next decade of rivalry at top of tennis | Tumaini Carayol

The frenzied last few games of the 2025 French Open final will go down as one of the greatest stretches of play in grand slam historyFive hours into the madness, when their legs should have been fading and sanity departing, the miraculous French Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner ascended to even greater heights. So much had already happened. For a long time, Alcaraz had been dominated with the same ruthless efficiency Sinner reserved for the rest of the field and he soon stared into the abyss, trailing triple championship point at 3-5, 0-40 in the fourth set.That moment would instead mark the beginning of Alcaraz’s unprecedented, preposterous comeback as he completely turned the match around. He soon closed in on victory, leading by a break in the fifth set against a weary opponent. With his back to the wall, time running out, Sinner produced a transcendent return game as Alcaraz served for the title at 5-4 to draw level again. Continue reading...
