Good times for 🇬🇧 on the WTA Tour’s Asian Swing with Sonay Kartal reaching the final of the 1000 in Wuhan, Harriet Dart winning a career-first title in Guangzhou and now Katie Boulter (recent SFist in Osaka) off to a flier in HK. Back behind the 🎙️ tomorrow for Boulter’s R2 match
Hear her roar 📣 Katie Boulter hangs tough and defeats Golubic in straights 6-2, 7-6(2). #PHKTO2026

One for @BillEdgarTimes to ponder. A third successive 3-0 win for @afcbournemouth against a former European Cup/ Champions League winner: Milan ✅ Manchester United ✅ Aston Villa ✅ Up next on Saturday : the 1975 European Cup finalists Leeds United 🍒

Just days after we were chatting about the great man, @NickEllerby 🇧🇷
Today we were honoured to receive a visit from the family of Socrates! 🇧🇷 The great man's son, Fidel, and nephew Vitor - who with wife Gabriela Machado forms a media duo called 'WHY? Journalism' - are in London for the Ballon d'Or ceremony on Monday where the Socrates Award for social activism in football will be presented. They could not miss the chance to visit the home of Corinthian-Casuals and wear the famous shirt donned by Socrates in 1988. Sometimes this club feels like a magical place ✨️ #VaiCorinthians

This will probably go under the radar of people who only watch tennis for two weeks in July but this is a seriously big deal for Kartal and 🇬🇧 tennis. The World No. 170, absent for six months this year, reached her first final at a @WTA 1000.
WHAT A MOMENT 🤩 Sonay Kartal is into the final in Wuhan! #dongfengvoyahwuhanopen

SOTD for Shnaider but as I said in commentary, Alexandrova had a strong nomination for her defensive, baseline, slice that somehow morphed into a drop shot, which landed like a bag of cement.
Superb on the defense 🛡️ Diana Shnaider earns our @BetMGM shot of the day!

This match-up @padres v @Dbacks on #basescoveredlive is the same one I saw in SD on Easter Sunday in April 1998! Wasn’t at this stadium, but the old one that was out of town somewhere. Watching this one in Kingston upon Thames.

Look, I'm not a fan of him in the slightest but the comic timing of that reaction is unbelievable. 😂
We are watching a genius at work 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Addio, “Il Kaiser”.
So emotional tribute at Franco Baresi funeral as Milan fans outside the church sing loud “You’ll never walk alone” to the Captain coffin escorted into the Basilica

🗺️🇳🇱 THE EREDIVISIE RETURNS ON FRIDAY!!! The Eredivisie is almost back but Volendam, NAC Breda and Heracles Almelo won’t be back after relegation last season. Those three have been replaced by promotion winners ADO Den Haag, Cambuur and Willem II. South Holland is the province with the most sides, three of them being from the city of Rotterdam. The Eredivisie might also have one of the best spreads of clubs across the entire of the Netherlands!

Now 17 wins from 19 matches for Krueger, and although Boulter impressed in the first set, it’s three R1 defeats on the spin for the 🇬🇧 No.2. Next commentary for me is Pareja 🇺🇸 v Wang 🇨🇳 from 16:00 BST @SkySportsTennis
First Win in DC ⚡️ Ashlyn Krueger moves through to round 2 after defeating Boulter in three sets 3-6, 6-2, 6-2. #MubadalaDCOpen

Play is SUSPENDED at Wimbledon qualifying due to the intense heat in London. Most of the matches stopped mid game because the the ELC stopped working with the heat...

It’s 40 years to the day since England beat Poland 3-0 at the World Cup. But when the game was goalless, they received a wonderful dressing down from Barry Davies…
