The current queen of clay finally conquered her worst surface.

Iga Świątek, who was seeded eighth and has spent a total of 125 weeks ranked at No. 1, won her sixth Grand Slam title and first at the grass courts of Wimbledon, dominating American Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the women’s singles final at the All-England Club on Saturday.

The complete destruction took all of 57 minutes, and Swiatek ended her run at Wimbledon by winning the last 21 games of the tournament after her semifinal 6-2, 6-0 win over Belinda Bencic.

The 24-year-old Swiatek is now 6-0 in Grand Slam finals, after her four triumphs at the French Open and the U.S. Open in 2022. She is the eighth straight first-time women’s champion at Wimbledon.

Anisimova was also part of some dubious history, as the last double bagel in a Grand Slam women’s singles final before Saturday was at the 1988 French Open when Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva in just 32 minutes.

Just one year ago, Anisimova, who took a break from tennis between May 2023 and January 2024, arrived at Wimbledon ranked No. 189, looking to qualify, but was quickly dismissed in the preliminaries. After making it through to the finals this year and beating No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals, she will earn a career-high No. 7 in the next WTA rankings.

Swiatek, who will vault to No. 3 in the rankings, was impressive from the start, winning the first set 6-0 in 25 minutes.

Anisimova, the No. 13 seed in her first Grand Slam final, had three double faults and 12 unforced errors in the first set, as Anisimova, the No. 13 seed in her first Grand Slam final, had three double faults and 12 unforced errors in the first set. She won only 30% of her first serves and 29% of her second serves.

The second set was more of the same as Swiatek kept the pressure on, limiting her mistakes even though she had only 10 winners, but scored efficiently thanks to Anisimova’s 27 unforced errors in the match.

Wimbledon highlights: Swiatek cruises to victory

Swiatek rolls through first set in Wimbledon final

Iga Swiatek is one set away from her first Wimbledon title after an impressive display, winning the first set 6-0 over Amanda Anisimova in 25 minutes.

Swiatek broke Anisimova in the first game and took the first two games before Anisimova tried settling in, but blew a 40-15 lead in the third, under a hail of unforced errors, a shaky first serve and multiple opportunities to get back in the match. It went progressively downhill from there.

Anisimova, the No. 13 seed in her first Grand Slam final, had three double faults and 12 unforced errors in the first set, and looked completely overwhelmed at times.

Wimbledon, Grand Slam final-set tiebreaker rules

In 2022, each of the four Grand Slam events released a joint statement in which they declared 10-point final-set tiebreakers would be placed into effect. The rule is similar to a standard tiebreaker, except that the first player or team to 10 points with a two-point advantage is the winner.

The prior rule mandated that tennis players at Grand Slam events must win the final set — and therefore the match — with a two-game advantage. That led to a legendary match between American Josh Isner and French player Nicolas Mahut in the first round at Wimbledon in 2010: It spanned 8 hours and 11 minutes over two days, with Isner ultimately besting Mahut 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (9-7), 70-68 — the final set lasting 138 games. — Austin Curtright

Where is Wimbledon held?

Location: All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (London)

The 138th edition of the Wimbledon Championships is being held at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club on Church Road in London. It is the 103rd time that the Grand Slam event has been held on Church Road, a streak that dates back to 1922.

The Grand Slam event hasn’t always been held at the All England Club on Church Road, however. From 1877 through 1921, the Wimbledon Championships were held at the former All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club location on Worple Road in London. — John Leuzzi

What surface is Wimbledon played on?

Wimbledon generally produces faster tennis and more volleys than the other majors, and balls do not bounce nearly as high. The surface can also be slippery at times, especially compared to hardcourts.

‘You have to be more focused on the footwork here,’ Carlos Alcaraz told The Athletic after winning his second Wimbledon men’s singles championship in 2024. ‘Moving on grass is the key to everything on grass. I can’t slide as I do on clay or on a hard court.’ — John Leuzzi

Former Arizona Cardinals left tackle Luis Sharpe, a three-time Pro Bowl selection during his 13 seasons with the franchise from 1982-1994, has died. He was 65.

Sharpe’s wife, Tameka Williams-Sharpe, posted news of his death on Facebook on Saturday, July 12.

“With deep sorrow and abiding love, I share that my beloved husband, Luis Sharpe, has passed away,” she wrote. “His strength, love, and faith were a light to all who knew him. I am grateful for every moment we shared and for the many prayers and kindnesses extended to our family.

‘Though my heart is heavy, I trust that Luis is now resting in God’s eternal peace. Please continue to keep our family lifted in prayer.”

Sharpe, who was born in Havana, Cuba, was a first-round pick out of UCLA by the then-St. Louis Cardinals in 1982 and stayed with the franchise when it moved to Arizona. He is widely regarded as the best left tackle in club history.

Although Sharpe excelled on the football field, he battled alcohol and drug addiction, which only got worse in the years following his NFL career. He was arrested multiple times, jailed, and shot twice during drug transactions.

Sharpe had been sober, however, for the past eight years and told the Detroit Free Press during an interview in December that the turning point in his life was the intensive Bible study he began in prison.

“As an athlete, my self-esteem came from the applause of the fans and all of the accolades I received – that’s what filled me,” Sharpe told the paper. “But after being homeless, penniless and hopeless, I have more peace and more joy than I did during my NFL days because God has taken my mess and turned it into a message.” 

Sharpe and his daughter Rebekah had teamed together to address the drug and mental health crises by sharing their story about addiction and its effect on their lives. They had been serving as ambassadors for Hall of Fame Health, an affiliate of the Pro Football Hall of Fame that aims to positively impact the health of former NFL players and communities across the country.

Hamzah Sheeraz has positioned himself for a future championship match after his performance at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York, on Saturday night.

The fight between Sheeraz and Edgar Berlanga was decided in the fifth round, but it could’ve easily been finished in the fourth.

Sheeraz knocked down Berlanga twice in the closing moments of the fourth round before the American boxer was saved by the bell.

Sheeraz carried his momentum into the first 17 seconds of the fifth round with three straight strikes to put away Berlanga.

As a result of the victory, Sheeraz is now the mandatory WBC Super Middleweight Championship challenger. The British boxer may have positioned himself for a future fight with Canelo Alvarez.

Shakur Stevenson and William Zepeda delivered as the co-main event on the card. Stevenson’s accuracy and versatility were on display for the world to see as he overcame a scrappy performance from Zepeda.

Stevenson remains undefeated and retained his WBC lightweight championship.

USA TODAY Sports had updates, analysis and highlights from the main card:

Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz result:

Round 1: Both fighters didn’t wait for a ‘feeling out’ process before trading shots with one another. Both had moments in the opening round, but Berlanga may have landed the shots that made the biggest difference.

Round 2: The second round served as more of a feeling-out process for both fighters. Sheeraz showed more variety with his punches and a strong command.

Round 3: Sheeraz lands a strong uppercut in the final moments of the round before a late flurry of strikes from Berlanga.

Round 4: Berlanga comes out swinging as the bell rings to start the round. Sheeraz answered back with a series of punches that knocked down Berlanga. He manages to get back up, only to get dropped by Sheeraz a second time.

Berlanga got up a second time and was allowed to continue the fight. As Sheeraz walks back toward him, the bell sounds to end the round.

Round 5: The bell rings to start the round and Sheeraz lands a quick combination to drop Berlanga to a knee just 17 seconds later. The fight is over.

Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda result:

Rounds 1-4: William Zepeda has been the aggressor in the fight through the first four rounds. In both the third and fourth rounds, Zepeda has managed to force Shakur Stevenson against the ropes and cut off the ring.

Round 5: Zepeda has thrown a large number of punches through the first 4.5 rounds. He’s landed 93 of his 367 punches. Stevenson has landed nearly 50% of his punches (103 of 221).

Round 6: Stevenson got the best of Zepeda in the round, landing some of the bigger shots in the round and staying in the middle of the ring.

Round 7: Stevenson has continued to look sharp and quicker with his shots as the fight has continued. After an aggressive start, Zepeda has started to slow down.

Round 8: Zepeda has slowed down but was able to land some successful shots as well in the round to stay in the fight. Despite a decent showing from Zepeda, the round may have still worked in Stevenson’s favor, nullifying any of his opponent’s momentum.

Round 9: Stevenson’s versatility and speed were on display throughout exchanges with Zepeda. It’s currently Stevenson’s fight to lose.

Round 10: Zepeda continues to show a will to start in the fight and compete despite being slowed down by Stevenson. Both fighters traded blows early, but it was Stevenson who was still landing accurate shots.

Round 11: Zepeda has continued to have moments of success, but he will need to have some power in his punches to pull out a victory as the fight enters the final round.

Round 12: The crowd responds with cheers and approval as the fight comes to an end. Both Stevenson and Zepeda survive the fight and it will come down to the judges. Stevenson was efficient with his punches.

Stevenson walked over to Zepeda’s corner after the fight to tell him, ‘It’s all love and respect. Thank you (for the fight).’

Stevenson remains undefeated after a unanimous decision victory and retains the championship. He has won 24 straight fights (including 11 by knockout).

Alberto Puello vs. Subriel Matias result:

The fight has been even through the first eight rounds with Puello’s WBC super lightweight title on the line.

In the championship rounds, Puello lands a right-handed upper cut in the 11th round that hurts Matias but doesn’t knock him down. Matias appeared exhausted down the stretch and had a visible cut over his left eye.

Matias became the new champion by majority decision victory. Dalton Smith was in the ring after the fight to face off with Matias. The two men will fight for the title on Nov. 22.

David Morrell vs Imam Khataev result:

Imam Khataev delivered a two-punch power combination that nearly buckled the knees of David Morrell in the second round. It was the first time Morrell was knocked down in his career. Morrell managed to do some damage as well, creating a cut above Khataev’s right eye in the early rounds.

Morrell’s team was overheard discussing the cut between the second and third rounds.

Morrell was on pace to win the fifth round before Khataev landed a right-handed shot that sent the Cuban boxer back into the ropes in the final moments of the round. Morrell was fighting with a sense of urgency in the final 1:30 of the ninth round, landing several strikes to Khataev.

While some thought Khataev would’ve earned the victory, it was Morrell who was tabbed as the winner by split decision. It’s an early contender for fight of the night.

Morrell entered the fight ranked in the Top 5 by the World Boxing Association.

Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda Predictions

BetMGM: Shakur Stevenson to win

Staff writes: For this WBC lightweight championship match between Stevenson and Zepeda, I predict that the former will win via unanimous decision against the latter because he already has a blueprint to beat power punchers and has enormous experience in high-level championship fights. Much like he did against Edwin De Los Santos, I expect Stevenson to break down Zepeda with stiff counters and solid jabs that would allow him to score points in the judges’ scorecards while frustrating him at the same time.’

DAZN: Stevenson has the edge

Mark Lelinwalla writes: ‘Masterful at planting his lead foot into the canvas and controlling the distance, Shakur Stevenson is absolutely brilliant working behind the jab, the anchor to his supreme sweet science. On the defensive side, Stevenson is slick and elusive, relying on the hit and don’t get hit brand of boxing. He has the boxing skills to negate Zepeda’s forward fighting and imposing power especially if the Mexican fighter struggles to get inside of Stevenson’s world-class jab, arguably the best in all of boxing.’

Forbes: Stevenson to win via unanimous decision

Trent Reinsmith writes: ‘Zepeda needs to overcome the defense of Stevenson, and that’s a tall order for any fighter. Put simply, Zepeda doesn’t have the style to do that. His best hope is that he can score through volume and convince the judges to give him the nod because of that. Stevenson will prove to be defensively sound, and score with enough counters to get the nod.’

Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda: Tale of the tape

Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers continued their NBA Summer League schedule on Saturday, facing the New Orleans Pelicans at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

James scored eight points in an 87-85 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday in the Lakers’ first Vegas Summer League contest. That number was nearly higher as James attempted the potential game-winner, but his long-range effort before the buzzer didn’t fall.

Last week, the Lakers went 2-1 in California Classic play, falling to the Golden State Warriors before defeating the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. After not playing against the Warriors, LeBron James’ son put up 10 points in just 10 minutes of playing time against the Heat, but took a step back with a two-point showing versus San Antonio.

Saturday night marked the end of a career for a WWE icon.

Saturday Night’s Main Event returned to WWE programming, and the July 12 show of the special event wasn’t just the 40th edition of it — it was headlined by the final match for Goldberg. The WWE Hall of Famer has been one of the most menacing wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring, and he went out with a match against Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship.

While the night was mostly dedicated to Goldberg, other bouts took place, and the course of WWE could be drastically altered by a major star’s injury.

Here’s what happened at Saturday Night’s Main Event:

Cody Rhodes honors Goldberg

After Saturday Night’s Main Event went off the air, ‘The American Nightmare’ and fellow Georgian came out to give Goldberg his flowers and lead another chant.

World Heavyweight Championship match: Gunther (c) vs. Goldberg

Gunther learned quickly that Goldberg would be a different opponent when he tried his patented chop and all Goldberg did was smile. The champion looked stunned before he ate a clothesline. The challenger readied for a spear to end it quickly but Gunther got out of the ring. Goldberg tried the spear outside of the ring, and he instead went through the barricade.

The veteran was clearly hobbled and Gunther focused on his banged-up left knee. Still, Goldberg wasn’t backing down, and he tried a spear that ended up landing on referee Charles Robinson. With the referee down, Gunther ripped Goldberg’s knee brace off and used it to punish the WWE Hall of Famer.

Gunther went to Goldberg’s son at ringside and taunted him, with security having to hold him back. But when Gunther got back in the ring, he was met with a spear from Goldberg and then a jackhammer. A referee came out to count the pin, but Goldberg’s knee prevented him from doing it. He got the pin attempt and Gunther kicked out.

Goldberg was hurt, and Gunther locked the sleeper hold in, victory in sight. Goldberg made an attempt to get up, but Gunther brought the challenger back down. Goldberg was taken out and the referee rung the bell as Gunther retained.

Analysis: There were plenty of questions about how Goldberg’s final match would unfold, and the WWE Hall of Famer went out with a bang. He wasn’t going to be the quick, dominating force he once was, but he showed some of the flashes of what made him a superstar. Credit to him for getting prepared for one final stand.

Despite the unknown of how it would go, we did know there wasn’t much of a chance Goldberg would walk away with gold. Instead, Gunther got the chance to say he ended a legend’s career with a loss. Gunther’s legitimacy had been in question ever since his WrestleMania 41 loss, and he’s been up-and-down in terms of being a dominating presence.

Instead, Gunther reassures he is ‘The Ring General’ with a decisive victory, and that should carry his momentum toward a successful run.

Goldberg says farewell

The WWE Hall of Famer said goodbye with his loved ones joining him in the ring.

Goldberg makes final entrance

One of the most iconic entrances happens one last time. Surrounded by those closest to him, Goldberg leaves the locker room and heads into the ring.

LA Knight vs. Seth Rollins: Rollins suffers injury

Despite only being able to get sneak attacks in over recent weeks, LA Knight wasn’t backing down from facing Rollins out of the gate. He was on the attack and had Rollins scrambling to regroup. He was eventually able to, but LA Knight wasn’t going away easy. He wasn’t letting full control get away from him, and had an impressive flying elbow drop off the top rope.

Things started to really pick up with a flurry of blows from each star. However, LA Knight couldn’t keep up with his midsection clearly bothering him. Rollins was getting rolling but he landed hard on his right knee and it was clear he was legitimately hurt. WWE staff attended to Rollins and the star looked visibly shaken.

After he consulted ringside help, LA Knight quickly got a pin to win.

Analysis: A devastating moment. Rollins actually hurt his knee, forcing the match to end early. While the extent of the injury is unknown, it could have a massive impact on the entire roster given Rollins is Mr. Money in the Bank and was rolling with his stable.

SummerSlam bout announced

It’s official. Randy Orton issues a challenge to Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul to face him and Jelly Roll at SummerSlam.

United States Championship match: Solo Sikoa (c) vs. Jimmy Uso

The brothers had a tense stare down before engaging in battle, with hits traded before Uso went through the ropes to knock Sikoa outside the ring. The champion regrouped with his MFT members by his side, and was able to halt the momentum of the challenger. Uso stepped out of the ring and with the referee focused on Sikoa, Talla Tonga dropped a heavy clothesline to Uso.

Sikoa was dominant as ‘Big Jim’ tried to do anything to stop the punishment. He finally saw a window on the edge of the ring, dropping Sikoa and jumping off the top rope for a pin attempt that didn’t work. Uso stayed persistent and hit the Uso Splash to hopefully get the win. However, Sikoa kicked out of the pin.

Sikoa tried to turn the tide with a Samoan Spike, but it was countered with two superkicks from the challenger. Uso readied the Uso Splash once more when Sikoa went out of the ring and into the arms of JC Mateo and Tanga Loa. Uso instead leaped out of the ring and took all three out. Tonga attempted to get involved and he wasn’t able to avoid some shots from Uso, but it gave Sikoa a chance to roll up his opponent. He did, and with Tonga’s help, Sikoa got away with the victory.

After the match, MFT assaulted Uso, capped off with a Samoan Spike. Then Jacob Fatu’s music played and he entered the ring to help out. Fatu and Tonga then stared each other down, and the ‘Samoan Werewolf’ landed some hits before taking him and Sikoa out.

Analysis: ‘Big Jim’ finally got his shot, but unfortunately, the numbers were not on his side. There was little hope Uso would be able to get past Sikoa and his crew, especially with another dominating presence in Tonga now in the fold. Plus, Sikoa is just coming off the title win, and he has proven he is worthy of holding gold with his talent in the ring and on the microphone. The brothers have been in the ring before, but it was obvious how good the chemistry is between the two, which is the case anytime the family gets to tussle.

Fatu’s emergence was refreshing, showing he is not taking any time off and wants to get his title back. The battle between Sikoa and Fatu is entertaining and deserves some more time to unfold. It likely leads to another championship match at SummerSlam, but someone else will be needed to help deal with MFT and not make it a repeat of Night of Champions.

Naomi and Jade Cargill brawl before Evolution

Naomi couldn’t wait another day.

WWE commentators Michael Cole and Wade Barrett previewed Evolution with some of the stars that will be in the ring on Sunday, July 13. Cargill sat ringside but was blindsided by Naomi. Naomi dragged her over the barricade and the two stars tried to attack each other while security tried to break it off. Despite all the people in the middle, Cargill got hits and Naomi jumped off the announcer’s table.

Bianca Belair returns, will be special guest referee at Evolution

Evolution just got more interesting.

After the fight between Cargill and Naomi was broken up, SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis announced there will be a special guest referee for their no-holds-barred match at Evolution. He said it would be someone that knew each star very well, and that’s when Belair’s entrance hit the speakers.

Belair emerged and the two opponents looked. Their former friend will determine who wins their heated battle.

Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton

With the celebrities by their side, McIntyre and Orton quickly got to work. A few big shots were traded before McIntyre launched Orton onto the announcer’s table for an early advantage.

McIntyre had a solid string of momentum before he started trying to get in the head of Orton. ‘The Viper’ wasn’t having any of it, absorbing chops to the chest like it was nothing. Orton then returned the favor with not one, but three drops of McIntyre on the announcer’s table before he stared down Logan Paul.

Vintage Orton hit in the ring and he readied for the RKO before Paul distracted him. When Orton turned his attention back, McInytre greeted him with a Claymore. It looked to be a finisher but Orton got his foot on the rope before the pin counted. Outside of the ring, Paul verbally assaulted Jelly Roll and pushed him several times before the artist had enough. He shoved Paul to the ground.

McIntyre saw it and had some words for Jelly Roll. But that was the mistake. McIntyre turned around and Orton had an RKO waiting for him. He landed his finisher and pinned McIntyre for the win.

Drew McIntyre takes out Jelly Roll

After the match, Paul snuck behind Orton and knocked him to the ground. Jelly Roll couldn’t let it happen, and he picked Paul up and hit him with a right hand. Paul retreated and Jelly Roll checked on Orton, but out of nowhere, McIntyre delivered a Claymore and knocked Jelly Roll out.

Analysis: The celebrity-involved battle between Orton and McIntyre is far from done. The two veteran stars can put on a stellar match, but it felt watered down with Jelly Roll and Paul ringside. It certainly had the feeling this would be building toward a match at SummerSlam, but the Claymore to Jelly Roll all but sealed it.

While the fans may have mixed feelings about how this is developing, it can’t fully be judged yet given we haven’t seen how the musician is in the ring. It’s not exactly the greatest start, but there’s potential this could be a fun feud − if executed perfectly.

Jelly Roll joins Randy Orton

After they aligned with each other at SmackDown, artist Jelly Roll accompanies Orton to the ring. McIntyre countered with Logan Paul on his side.

Goldberg calling it a career

It will be the end of the road for Goldberg, as he caps off a career that made him one of the most iconic powerhouse wrestlers the business has seen.

A former all-SEC linebacker for the Georgia Bulldogs, Goldberg started his wrestling career for WCW in 1997. After competing in dark matches for the promotion, he made his television debut that September and went on a remarkable undefeated streak that catapulted him to stardom. He started his career with a 173-0 run, capturing the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in the process.

He appeared briefly for WWE in 2003-04 and has made sporadic appearances as a wrestling icon since then, including being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018. But he still had bright spots in the ring, including winning the WWE Universal Championship in 2017 and 2020.

Goldberg has the chance to add to his decorated career against Gunther, but if not, he will end his wrestling career a three-time WWE champion, a one-time WCW World Champion, two-time United States Champion and one-time WCW Tag Team Champion.

The NBA Summer League featured an exciting matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs, showcasing the performances of Cooper Flagg, the No. 1 overall draft pick.

In his debut against the Lakers, Flagg contributed to the Mavericks’ narrow 87-85 victory in a fiercely competitive game, although he struggled to find his rhythm. Despite facing challenges with his shooting, he turned things around and impressed in his second game with the Mavericks. In the loss to the Spurs, Flagg finished with 31 points, four rebounds, and one assist. However, he still had difficulty from the three-point line, making just two of six attempts. Nonetheless, his performance shows promise for Dallas.

Stevenson is the reigning champion and will enter the fight having won all 23 fights in his professional career. He has won 11 of his fights by knockout.

He is coming off a TKO victory over Josh Padley on Feb 22 in Saudi Arabia. It was his third title defense.

Zepeda enters the fight as the interim champion, having won all 33 fights in his career, with 27 of them coming by knockout.

Zepeda beat Tevin Farmer by split decision on Nov. 16, 2024, to win the vacant WBC interim lightweight title in Saudi Arabia. Zepeda got the best of Farmer again with a majority decision victory in Cancun, Mexico, on March 29 to retain the title earlier this year.

Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming fight.

USA TODAY Sports has you covered with updates, analysis and highlights from the Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda card here:

Alberto Puello vs. Subriel Matias result:

The fight has been even through the first eight rounds with Pueblo’s WBC super lightweight title on the line.

In the championship rounds, Puello lands a right-handed upper cut in the 11th round that hurt Matias but doesn’t knock him down. Matias appeared exhausted down the stretch.

Puello earned the decision victory and retained his championship.

David Morrell vs Imam Khataev result:

Imam Khataev delivered a two-punch power combination that nearly buckled the knees of David Morrell in the second round. It was the first time Morrell was knocked down in his career. Morrell managed to do some damage as well, creating a cut above Khataev’s right eye in the early rounds.

Morrell’s team was overheard discussing the cut between the second and third rounds with Morrell.

Morrell was on pace to win the fifth round before Khataev landed a right-handed shot that sent the Cuban boxer back into the ropes in the final moments of the round. Morrell was fighting with a sense of urgency in the final 1:30 of the ninth round, landing several strikes to Khataev.

While some thought Khataev would’ve earned the victory, it was Morrell who was tabbed as the winner by split decision. It’s an early contender for fight of the night.

Morrell entered the fight ranked in the Top 5 by the World Boxing Association.

Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda Predictions

BetMGM: Shakur Stevenson to win

Staff writes: For this WBC lightweight championship match between Stevenson and Zepeda, I predict that the former will win via unanimous decision against the latter because he already has a blueprint to beat power punchers and has enormous experience in high-level championship fights. Much like he did against Edwin De Los Santos, I expect Stevenson to break down Zepeda with stiff counters and solid jabs that would allow him to score points in the judges’ scorecards while frustrating him at the same time.’

DAZN: Stevenson has the edge

Mark Lelinwalla writes: ‘Masterful at planting his lead foot into the canvas and controlling the distance, Shakur Stevenson is absolutely brilliant working behind the jab, the anchor to his supreme sweet science. On the defensive side, Stevenson is slick and elusive, relying on the hit and don’t get hit brand of boxing. He has the boxing skills to negate Zepeda’s forward fighting and imposing power especially if the Mexican fighter struggles to get inside of Stevenson’s world-class jab, arguably the best in all of boxing.’

Forbes: Stevenson to win via unanimous decision

Trent Reinsmith writes: ‘Zepeda needs to overcome the defense of Stevenson, and that’s a tall order for any fighter. Put simply, Zepeda doesn’t have the style to do that. His best hope is that he can score through volume and convince the judges to give him the nod because of that. Stevenson will prove to be defensively sound, and score with enough counters to get the nod.’

Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda: Tale of the tape

The National League extended its win streak in the Major League Baseball All-Star Futures Game, the annual showcase for MLB’s top prospects in the days leading up to the Midsummer Classic, at Atlanta’s Truist Park on July 12.

Behind a three-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning from the Los Angeles Dodgers’ top prospect, Josue De Paula, the National League came from behind for the 4-2 win over the American League. With the win, the National League has won three straight Future Games since the showcase game’s format was adjusted in 2019. The National League now leads the all-time series 4-1-1 against the American League.

De Paula was named the Most Valuable Player after he went 1 for 2 at the plate with three RBIs on that three-run shot to right field, which registered for the fifth-hardest home run hit in the history of Truist Field, at 108.5 mph off the bat.

One notable thing to come out of the 2025 MLB Futures Games is the exit of Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Konnor Griffin in the fourth inning after he took a 97.4 mph sinker from Alimber Santa (Houston Astros) off his wrist. There has been no official update on Griffin, but Griffin’s dad, Kevin, went on X (formerly Twitter) to say his son is ‘all good’ after his hit-by-pitch. 

Three of MLB.com’s top eight prospects were featured in the 2025 game: San Diego Padres infielder Leo De Vries, Texas Rangers infielder Sebastian Walcott and Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jesús Made, following in the footsteps of the future stars who have participated in this showcase over the past quarter-century. Those three hitters c

Josue De Paula named MLB Futures Game MVP

Following the National League’s 4-2 win over the American League in the 2025 MLB Futures Game, Josue De Paula (Los Angeles Dodgers) was named the Most Valuable Player of the annual showcase game. He was awarded his trophy by Kenny Griffey Jr. down on the field at Truist Park.

De Paula hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning to put the National League out on front.

‘I had a lot of fun. Emotions I can’t really explain. It was a crazy moment for me, doing it in front of dad,’ said De Paula on playing in the Futures Games. ‘I just thank God for the opportunity.’

He added: ‘It was amazing. I don’t think you can see this much talent on the field at one time. Had to take advantage of it.’

National League defeats American League in Futures League

It’s a 4-2 win for the National League in the 2025 Futures League over the American League.

Though the National League retired the American League 1-2-3 in the top half of the seventh, the bottom half of the inning was played, per Futures Games rules. The National League has now won three consecutive Futures Games.

Slade Caldwell makes diving catch in seventh

Slade Caldwell (Arizona Diamondbacks) comes up with an impressive sliding catch in the top of the seventh for the final out.

National League leads after six innings

The National League takes a 4-2 lead over the American League into the seventh inning at Truist Park in the Futures League. Unlike a full minor (or major) league game, the MLB Futures Game is a seven-inning All-Star Game, meaning this will be the American League’s last chance to tie the game or take a lead.

Brody Hopkins (Tampa Bay Rays) threw a clean sheet in the sixth for the American League, as he got two groundouts and a flyout for a 1-2-3 frame. It appears it will be Carson Whisenhunt (San Francisco Giants) to pitch the seventh for the National League.

Owen Caissie extends National League lead

The National League bats continue to be hot, as Owen Caissie (Chicago Cubs) laces one down the left field line for a standup RBI double to score LuJames Groover (Arizona Diamondbacks). Caissie is MLB Pipeline’s No. 43-ranked prospect and the Cubs’ top-ranked prospect.

Pirates top prospect Konnor Griffin exits after hit by pitch

Konnor Griffin’s day in the Futures Game comes to a close after he takes a 97.4 mph sinker from Alimber Santa (Houston Astros) to the wrist. The Pittsburgh Pirates’ No. 2-ranked prospect immediately grabbed his wrist as he walked up the first baseline before meeting with a trainer for the National League and manager, Chipper Jones.

Josue De Paula hits three-run home run for National League

Josue De Paula (Los Angeles Dodgers) shows off his power with a towering three-run home run to straightaway right field to give the National League a 3-2 lead over the American League. It is just the third home run that Noah Schultz (Chicago White Sox) has given up to a left-handed hitter this season, per the MLB Network broadcast.

‘I saw all of it, to be honest. I wasn’t expecting a slider,’ De Paula told MLB Network in the fifth inning on his home run.

The National League bats are showing life for the first time on the afternoon as they’ve put their first three hitters of the fourth inning on base.

American League adds onto lead in Futures Game

The American League tacks on a run in the top of the fourth inning, as Sebastian Walcott (Texas Rangers) scores Josue Briceno (Detroit Tigers) from third on a sacrifice fly. It’s 2-0 American League in the Futures Game.

Marquis Grissom’s son comes into pitch

It’s a special day at Truist Park for the Grissom family as Marquis Grissom’s son, Marquis Grissom Jr., comes into pitch against his dad’s team in the Futures Game. Marquis Grissom Sr. is the manager of the American League team in the Futures Game, while Marquis Grissom Jr. is the Washington Nationals’ No. 21-ranked prospect.

‘I am. All I think about is the work this kid has put in over the last 10 years to be a pitcher,’ Marquis Grissom Sr. said on the MLB Network broadcast of seeing his son pitch against him in the Futures Game.

American League leads National League through three innings

After three innings at Truist Park, it is the American League out on top 1-0 over the National League in the 2025 MLB Futures League Game.

The National League has knocked on the door in each inning but hasn’t been able to bring a runner home. Seattle Mariners catching prospect Harry Ford threw out Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Konnor Griffin out at second on a stolen base attempt in the third inning, killing any chance for the National League to tie the game in the inning.

American League takes lead in Futures Game

The American League is the first to strike in the Futures Game, as Chicago White Sox outfielder prospect Braden Montgomery brings New York Yankees’ second base prospect George Lombard Jr. home from third on an RBI groundout to first.

Right before Montgomery’s RBI, Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark showed off his blazing speed up the line as he beat out an infield single in 4.03 seconds. Sheesh. It’s 1-0 American League going into the bottom of the third.

Mariners’ switch-pitching prospect enters Futures Game

It’s not every day you get to see a switch pitcher on the mound. It’s why Seattle Mariners’ pitching prospect Jurrangelo Cijntje coming into pitch in the bottom of the second inning is a treat.

Cijntje retires his first hitter, Jesus Made, from the right side before getting his second hitter, Josue DePaula, out from the left side of the bump.

In an interview with MLB Network after his outing, Cijntje credited his ability to throw from both sides of the mound to his dad, Mechangelo Cijntje.

‘It goes all the way back to my dad and trying to be like him,’ Jurrangelo Cijntje said. ‘I wanted to be a catcher just like him, but it didn’t work out so I’m a pitcher now. He helped me a lot to throw from the right side since I’m natural left-handed. … (Went out) in the backyard and one time just grabbed a ball. Would throw the ball into the tire and the rest is history.’

Here’s a look at Cijntje pitching from both sides of the mound:

Jonah Tong throws 1-2-3 second inning

New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong makes a strong impression at the Future Games with a 1-2-3 top of the second inning.

Tong, the Mets’ No. 2-ranked prospect who has received comps to Tim Lincecum with his delivery and pitching arsenal by MLB Pipeline’s Jonathan Mayo, threw a disgusting 77 mph curveball to get Seattle Mariners’ catching prospect Harry Ford chasing for the first out. Ford had no chance at making contact on that pitch from Tong, who beautifully executed that breaking ball.

JJ Wetherholt starts game for National League with double

The first hit of the afternoon goes to the National League, as St. Louis Cardinals prospect JJ Wetherholt laces a lead-off double off the wall in left-center field.

JR Ritchie throws scoreless opening frame in Futures Game

After falling behind 3-1 in the count to Jhostynxon Garcia, JR Ritchie battles back and wins it by getting Garcia to chase a slider away for the third out of the inning. Nice job by the Braves’ No. 6-ranked prospect to get himself out of the jam in the top of the first.

The American League strands Max Clark at third in the inning, as they weren’t able to bring home the Tigers’ No. 2-ranked prospect after he worked a lead-off walk.

MLB Futures Game underway

The 2025 MLB Futures Game is underway at Truist Park in Atlanta as Braves pitching prospect JR Ritchie misses outside on a 3-2 pitch to put Detroit Tigers’ outfield prospect Max Clark on base with a lead-off walk.

Pregame

Charlie Condon makes return home in Futures Game

With All-Star Game week in Atlanta this year, it’s a homecoming for the Colorado Rockies’ No. 1-ranked prospect Charlie Condon, who grew up in the Atlanta area and attended Georgia.

Hitting .301 this season in the minors, Condon, MLB Pipeline’s No. 23-ranked prospect, is widely considered the future of the Rockies program by minor league analysts. He was drafted with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft by the Rockies and was recently called up to Double-A Hartford on July 1.

White Sox’s Braden Montgomery starting for American League in Futures Game

This time last year, Braden Montgomery was one of the more highly touted and sought-after prospects in the 2024 MLB Draft. A year later, the now-Chicago White Sox’s prospect is starting in the MLB Futures Game for the American League team.

Pirates prospect Konnor Griffin taking swings at Futures Game

Pittsburgh Pirates No. 2 prospect Konnor Griffin is taking some pregame swings in the cage during batting practice at the 2025 MLB Futures Game. Griffin, who was drafted No. 9 overall in 2024 out of Jackson Prep High School, is starting at shortstop for the National League.

Griffin is hitting .302 this season for High-A Greensboro with 29 hits, 17 RBIs and four home runs.

American League starting pitcher for 2025 MLB Futures Game

Getting the start on the mound for the American League team in the 2025 MLB Futures Game will be Cleveland Guardians left-handed prospect Parker Messick.

Fresh off being named the Pitcher of the Week in the minor leagues, Messick is 4-3 with a 3.36 ERA in 75 innings pitched this season for Triple-A Columbus. In his most recent start on July 5, the former Florida State product threw seven scoreless innings vs. Toledo while striking out nine hitters.

National League starting pitcher for 2025 MLB Futures Game

Getting the start on the mound for the National League team in the 2025 MLB Futures Game will be Atlanta Braves right-handed prospect JR Ritchie.

Aidan Zingg, a 16-year-old rising motocross star, died from “cardiac tamponade,’’ his mother, Shari, told USA TODAY Sports.

The fatal mid-race crash took place June 28 in Mammoth Lakes, California, and his parents said they hoped autopsy results would help clear up the circumstances around Zingg’s death.

The Mono County Sheriff’s Office is conducting the autopsy of Zingg, who lived with his family in Southern California.

Sarah Roberts, public information officer for the Sheriff’s Office, said she did not have any information to release.

 “The family has the same if not more information, then we have,’’ Roberts wrote in an email.

Shari Zingg provided no additional information.

The death is being investigated by the Mammoth Lakes Police Department.

Zingg is one of three motocross riders 16 or younger who have died this year. In February, a 12-year-old boy died during a motocross crash in Georgia. In June, 2 1/2 weeks before Aidan’s death, a 14-year-old boy died after an accident at a motocross practice in North Carolina.

What is cardiac tamponade?

This is a medical emergency, according to the Cleveland Clinic, which reports a healthcare provider has to remove the extra fluid with a needle or surgery.

“You need quick treatment for a good outcome,’ according to the Cleveland Clinic.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, cardiac tamponade ‘describes a heart that has so much fluid around it that it can’t pump enough blood. The force of this fluid makes it hard for your heart to do its job.’

Chest trauma is one cause of cardiac tamponade, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Zingg suffered chest trauma during the crash, according to Myron Short, who was the race promoter.
