☆ Kvitova downs Serbian qualifier to reach last 16
  + stars: | 2023-07-08 | by ( Pritha Sarkar | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The Czech ninth seed needed four set points to seal the first set as menacing dark clouds hovered over Court Two, with her 225th ranked opponent slapping a service return long. A clearly distracted Stevanovic struggled to forget the incident and ended up being broken after Kvitova's service return kissed the line. Following a two-hour rain break, Kvitova appeared determined to make her greater firepower count, although the final game turned into an almighty tussle of wills. After watching three match points disappear thanks to Stevanovic's dogged resilience, Kvitova finally triumphed on her fourth attempt to seal a last-16 showdown with either 2019 U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu or Tunisian sixth seed Ons Jabeur. "I love playing on grass and when my serve is working well I love it even more."

☆ Alcaraz passes test at Wimbledon, Rybakina on fire
  + stars: | 2023-07-08 | by ( Martyn Herman | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
In the men's draw, third seed Daniil Medvedev and fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas both swept through while 2021 runner-up Matteo Berrettini set up a showdown with Alcaraz. With the big-serving Berrettini up next, Alcaraz, who was a break down in the fourth set, said Saturday's test was just what he needed. Rybakina ensured a demoralising 48 hours for Britain as she demolished Katie Boulter 6-1 6-1 to end home hopes in the singles. But she lasted only 57 minutes as Kazakhstan's Rybakina sent out an ominous warning to those wanting her title. Second seed Sabalenka is also in the groove heading into the second week after a 6-2 6-3 defeat of Anna Blinkova.

☆ Erin Kennedy: A year on from her cancer diagnosis, the Paralympic champion is competing again
  + stars: | 2023-05-20 | by ( Matias Grez Amanda Davies | Matias Grez | Amanda Davies | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
CNN —When Erin Kennedy returns to the boat at the upcoming European Rowing Championships, the occasion will certainly be a joyful one. “It’s something I’ve been sort of dreaming of and kind of manifesting and trying to work towards for the last year. Erin Kennedy is hoping to defend the title she won in Munich alongside Francesca Allen, Giedre Rakauskaite, Edward Fuller and Oliver Stanhope. Kennedy will be back in the boat exactly a year to the day since her diagnosis. So that’s that’s my goal: if I can keep the tears in until after we finished, hopefully on the top of the podium.”
☆ ‘A problem in the political culture": Serbians call for more than disarmament to end violence after mass shootings
  + stars: | 2023-05-19 | by ( Christian Edwards | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
Despite having one of the world’s highest rates of gun ownership in the world, mass shootings like this are extremely rare in Serbia. Most people simply inherited weapons from their parents and grandparents – remnants of the sort of violence that no longer plagues the region. While the two “gratuitous” acts of violence that shocked the country this month were without precedent, O’Donnell said, other types of violence are more banal. ‘Serbia against violence’Since the shootings, tens of thousands of Serbians have taken to the streets in opposition-led “Serbia against violence” marches, demanding the resignation of several government ministers. Against this public demand for a mellowing of the political culture, Vučić has seemed unsure how to respond.

☆ Wagner boss drops gruesome photo of war dead while blasting top Russian military leaders for getting them killed

Yevgeny Prigozhin, who founded the Kremlin-linked Wagner Group, shared a graphic photograph of dead Russian mercenaries earlier this week and criticized the country's military leadership for getting them killed. Prigozhin shared the gruesome image, which shows dozens of corpses placed in multiple rows on the ground, to his Telegram channel on Tuesday. Russia's defense ministry denied the claims and said any statements about munitions shortages are "absolutely untrue," Russian state media TASS reported.
