9 h. ago Wimbledon 2025 men’s singles final: Jannik Sinner v Carlos Alcaraz – live

Updates from SW19 as top two seeds meet in finalMail Daniel | Preview: Sinner seeks Paris revengeFor my part, I’d back Alcaraz on the surfaces that move underfoot – grass and clay – and Sinner on more predictable hards. But there’s so little between them that whoever plays closer to their best is likely to be the determining factor and, given his game has less about it that can go wrong, it’s tempting to fancy Sinner. But it’s hard to back Alcaraz to lose a major final when he’s won five from five; if he gets in front, he’ll be very difficult to stop, and if he’s behind, there’s always the sense he can come back.Back to our match, Coach Calv Betton messages in wiIth his breakdown: “It’s not a tactical battle between those two, it’s ball striking. They’ll both try and hit the ball hard. There isn’t much nuance. Occasionally, they’ll both do something different to mix it up – a drop shot, a serve-volley. And someone will make out that it’s a pre-planned strategy to break the other guy...

16 h. ago I don’t plan to have children. That doesn’t mean I want them banished from my life | Rachel Connolly

As Britain’s birthrate falls, hostility towards children in public spaces seems to be rising. That’s sad for all of usIt struck me recently that, as a woman in my 30s, I am almost never asked about my plans to have children. Even in the few instances I have been, the question arose naturally in a related conversation and each time, when I said “Oh I don’t think I want children”, the other person responded politely and didn’t push any agenda.We could draw conclusions on what this says about other people’s impressions of my lifestyle or my mothering instincts. But let’s choose to see this anecdote in a positive light. I imagine that, even as recently as 10 years ago, I would have had to endure endless hectoring and intrusive comments about the so-called “biological clock”. Or about ending up lonely in my old age or having a life which feels somehow empty or unfulfilled, as if that never happens to people with children.Rachel Connolly is the author of the novel Lazy City Continue readi...

28 h. ago ‘They are strong but we are ready’: Marc Cucurella aims to cap dream year by sinking PSG in final

Defender has gone from villain to hero at Chelsea and can embellish his cult status by lifting the Club World CupMarc Cucurella is thinking back to his early days at Chelsea. Signed from Brighton for £62m in August 2022, the left-back struggled to adapt to life at a big club. Chelsea were experiencing teething problems during the opening months of the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership and it was Cucurella’s misfortune to be held up as a symbol of the club’s apparent malaise.It is funny to think that the Spain international was booed on to the pitch by Chelsea supporters before a Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund in February 2023. Cucurella is a cult figure these days. He is loved by the Chelsea faithful and has come a long way since that difficult first season at Stamford Bridge. Continue reading...
