Sinner/Alcaraz Rivalry Intensifies

The hottest rivalry in tennis continues to be one for the ages after Jannik Sinner finally defeated his archrival Carlos Alcaraz to win his first Wimbledon title and fourth Grand Slam, just a month after the duo gave us the longest French Open final ever. Tennis writer Giri Nathan, whose new book Changeover: A Young Rivalry and a New Era of Men’s Tennis chronicles the rise of Alcaraz and Sinner, tells Baker Machado and Renee Washington what makes this rivalry so special and opines about the likelihood of another Grand Slam final between the two ahead of next month’s US Open.

Meanwhile, Chelsea defeated Euro champ Paris Saint-Germain in front of 80,000 fans and President Donald Trump at Met Life Stadium to win the FIFA Club World Cup final and its $40 million first-place prize. Despite some early setbacks and some stadiums seeing sparse fan attendance, Zach Lowy, soccer writer and chief editor of “Breaking the Lines,” says the Club World Cup should still be considered a success ahead of North America preparing for the larger men’s World Cup next year.

And we’re more than halfway through the 2025 MLB season with all eyes on All-Star week in Atlanta. FOS newsletter writer Eric Fisher joins from Truist Park ahead of the Home Run Derby and breaks down why the Nationals shocked experts by choosing high school star Eli Willits with the No. 1 pick in the MLB draft.
