WIMBLEDON

In a brilliant performance Sunday in the Wimbledon final, world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz won his second Grand Slam title in less than a year, defeating seven-time Wimbledon champ Novak Djokovic (JOE-kuh-VICH) 1-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 and ending the 36-year-old Serbian’s quest for the calendar Grand Slam in 2023. The match lasted four hours and 42 minutes and was the third-longest final in Wimbledon history.

PGA

Stephen Curry made an 18-foot putt for an eagle on the final hole to win the American Century Championship on Sunday, his first title in the celebrity tournament. Curry, the Golden State Warriors star who made a hole-in-one Saturday, topped it with his closing eagle on the par-5 18th hole at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course on the shores of Lake Tahoe. After the putt dropped, he tossed his hat into the air and ran into the arms of his wife, Ayesha.

COLLEGE

Northwestern fired baseball coach Jim Foster before the weekend. Sources said Foster’s dismissal came after allegations of bullying and a toxic environment within the program.
