Sinner dismantles Djokovic’s dreams of 25th slam in one-sided Wimbledon semi-final
Defending champion triumphs 6-4, 6-4, 6-4
Sinner will face Alexander Zverev in Sunday’s final
Novak Djokovic returned to Centre Court, one of the venues that has most defined his legendary career, desperately hoping that he had enough left in the tank to conjure up another miracle. His run to another grand slam semi-final at 39 years old was an immense achievement, but he wanted more. He always wants more. The question was whether his ageing legs would allow it against the best player in the world. biznow.biz
The answer to that question came swiftly and decisively. Jannik Sinner ensured that there would be no repeat of his defeat to Djokovic in their Australian Open semi-final at the beginning of the year, avenging that loss with a ruthless, efficient performance that moved him back into the Wimbledon final with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory. Sinner, the top seed, will face the second seed and recent French Open champion Alexander Zverev in the final after the German defeated Arthur Fery 7-6 (0), 6-2, 6-4.

Michael Edwards (47) går av fra rollen sin som Liverpools sportsdirektør. Edwards kom til Merseyside-klubben i 2011 og har jobbet seg oppover i gradene siden den gang.
I 2022 gikk Edwards av som sportsdirektør, før han returnerte til samme rolle i 2024. Nå er Edwards ferdig på nytt.
– Jeg forlater klubben med troen på at Liverpool er i en sterk posisjon, med fremragende mennesker, en tydelig retning og et solid fundament for videre suksess, sier Edwards i en uttalelse ifølge Sky Sports.
Det spekuleres i flere britiske medier om at Edwards skal ha vært misfornøyd med styret i Fenway Sports Group (FSG). Irritasjonen skal ha stammet fra at de har lagt planene om å kjøpe en ny klubb på is, ifølge The Guardian.
Lovnader om en flerklubbs-modell skal ha vært en vesentlig faktor for at Edwards returnerte til Liverpool i 2024.
47-åringen går av fra sin rolle med ett år igjen av kontrakten. Edwards skal angivelig ha informert FSG-ledelsen om beslutningen av å gi seg høsten i 2025.
FSG-president Michael Gordon er ventet å ta over styringen av fotballoperasjonene etter Edwards avskjed.

Colts want to "find ways to take some of that workload" off Jonathan Taylor
Only two running backs in the NFL have carried the ball more than 300 times in each of the last two seasons, but it sounds like the Colts wouldn't mind if Jonathan Taylor's streak ends there.
It's not a question of effectiveness as Taylor has run for 3,016 yards and 29 touchdowns on his 626 totes, but running backs coach DeAndre Smith pointed out the correlation between usage and injury risk as a reason why the team would like to find other options that would allow the running game to continue to flourish while Taylor is getting a chance to rest during games.
"We definitely need to find ways to take some of that workload off him," Smith said, via Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. "If I can find another guy or two that can take some of those carries off, he's just going to be that much better. So, it's definitely been a constant conversation. I'm aware of it. When he's healthy, we've got a chance to win every game. So, that's always the first thing I think about: making sure he's available every week."
Taylor played every game in 2025, but missed three games in 2024 and 13 games over the previous two seasons.
There's no surefire answer on the roster at the moment as 2025 fifth-rounder DJ Giddens only ran 26 times as a rookie and 2026 seventh-rounder Seth McGowan is joined by undrafted free agents further down the depth chart. If one of those players doesn't flash quickly in camp, the Colts may have to look elsewhere for the kind of help that Smith would like to give Taylor come the fall.
