American tennis player with a growing WTA profile
Wimbledon updates unfold as top seeds face shocks and schedule changes. Alexandra Eala has upset Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina exits in a tight finish, and Elise Mertens advances, reshaping the women’s draw as Centre Court hosts key matches.
British pair Skupski and Harrison claim the men's doubles title at the US Open, saving a championship point to beat Puetz and Krawietz in a deciding-set tiebreak. Townsend and Siniakova complete the women’s doubles career slam with a straight-sets win, while Siniakova becomes a perennial year-end No. 1 in doubles with more titles.
Alexander Zverev has won his second major, defeating Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 in New York. The German adds the US Open crown to his French Open triumph, keeping American men without a Grand Slam since 2003. Shelton, aiming to be the first Black American man to win the US Open since 1968, falls short in a dramatic final.
