LONDON—Seven-time champion Serena Williams advanced to the Wimbledon semi-finals with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Camila Giorgi of Italy today.
Williams dropped her first set at this tournament as the 52nd-ranked Giorgi produced an impressive display of power and accuracy in the opener.
MINNEAPOLIS—Jose Berrios said it feels weird to be described as an all-star after being named to the American League team for the first time in his career.
His pitching last night showed the honour isn't misplaced.
PARIS — When France’s xenophobic fringes disparage the country’s diverse World Cup team as more African than European, fans say, “So what?” And then respond with a resounding “Allez les Bleus!”
NEWTON, Iowa—Less than two months after failing to qualify for the Indianapolis 500, James Hinchcliffe roared from behind to seize one of the more satisfying wins of his IndyCar career.
Hinchcliffe, from Oakville, Ont., passed Josef Newgarden with just over 40 laps left to win at the Iowa Speedway yesterday—his first victory of the season.
TORONTO—Ryan Borucki's introduction to the big leagues hasn't been easy but the rookie left-hander is embracing the challenge.
Borucki went seven innings, allowing just one earned run, in picking up a no-decision as the Blue Jays fell 2-1 to the Yankees in 10 innings yesterday afternoon.
LONDON—Canadian Milos Raonic is heading to the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the third year in a row.
The No. 13 seed defeated unseeded American Mackenzie McDonald 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2 in the fourth round today.
Once again, Raonic was dominant with his serve. McDonald didn't have a single break-point opportunity against Raonic.
Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, and Mookie Betts form a dream outfield for the American League.
Bryce Harper and Max Scherzer make up a not-so-gracious welcome committee for the NL.
Power in the centre of power. A capital-sized All-Star Game.
LONDON—Eugenie Bouchard's four-match winning streak is over—and so is the Canadian's run at Wimbledon.
The 24-year-old native of Westmount, Que. lost 6-4, 7-5 to No. 17 seed Ashleigh Barty of Australia in the second round of the grass-court major today.
TORONTO—Marcus Stroman switched up his warm-up music for his start last night, using Drake's “Trophies” as a tribute to former teammate Jose Bautista.
But Bautista, who used “Trophies” as his walk-up music during Toronto's playoff-bound seasons in 2015 and 2016, may have benefited more from hearing it than Stroman did.
Decisions by most of the world's elite golfers to skip the PGA Tour's stop in West Virginia have been a boost for younger players like Xander Schauffele.
Schauffele had a one-stroke victory over Robert Streb at The Greenbrier resort last season, which ended with the 24-year-old from San Diego winning the Tour Championship and earning Rookie-of-the-Year honours.
