Anderson Wins 6 and a Half Hour Epic Against Isner at Wimbledon, Dylan Groenewegen Wins Stage Seven in Tour de France, Chelsea Parts Ways with Manager Conte, Lin Traded to Hawks and Sports Betting Pulls in $16 Million in NJ

Kevin Anderson has won an epic semi-final against John Isner after five sets scoring a 7-6(6), 6-7(5), 6-7(9), 6-4, 26-24 victory. The marathon lasted a total of six hours and 35 minutes – the second-longest in Wimbledon history.

Dutch rider Dylan Groenewegen won stage seven of the Tour de France at Chartres today, the Telegraph reports. This marked his first win of this Tour this year, as he denied Fernando Gaviria and Peter Sagan. Groenewegen previously won at stage 21 of the 2017 Tour de France.

The Associated Press reports that Chelsea Football Club has fired manager Antonio Conte. Despite winning the English Premier League and FA Cup during his two years with the team, Chelsea failed to secure a Championship League qualification last season, finishing fifth in the league. A statement on the Chelsea website summed up the team’s achievements under Conte and wished him luck in the future.

During Antonio’s time at the club, we won our sixth league title and eighth FA Cup. In the title winning season, the club set a then-record 30 wins in a 38-game Premier League season, as well as a club-record 13 consecutive league victories.

We wish Antonio every success in his future career.

ESPN reports that Jeremy Lin of the Brooklyn Nets was traded to the Atlanta Hawks last night. In exchange for Lin the Nets will receive a 2020 second-round pick and the rights to Isaia Cordinier. The Hawks will also receive a 2025 second-round pick and the right to swap second-round picks in 2023 as per the trade, according to league sources.

Joseph Tsai, the Nets minority owner, tweeted praise for Lin:

Jeremy is not only exciting to watch, he sets an example for perseverance and leadership. We are great friends, and I will follow his progress no matter where he is.

Two weeks after legal sports betting has been legal in New Jersey, businesses in the state have taken in $16.4 million USD according to the AP. The three businesses currently involved are the Borgata and Ocean Resort casinos, and Monmouth Park racetrack.

Croatia keep dreaming! Vatreni showed themselves and the world what they are capable of. They produced their best performance of the tournament right when they needed it most, showing their deep reserves of strength with another victory from a game that went to 120 minutes. Despite a quick England goal just five minutes from the start, Zlatko Dalic's side turned it around. France, are you ready?

"It's crazy. I don't even know how to feel," Williams said after the match. "I literally didn't expect to do this well in my fourth tournament back in 16 months. I just feel like when I don't have anything to lose, I can just play so free. That's kind of what I'm doing."

France Heads to World Cup Final, Man City Signs Mahrez for £60 Million, Federer Out at Wimbledon and Sagan Scores Stage 5 Win of Tour de France

France defeated Belgium 1-0 to advance to the FIFA World Cup final yesterday with Samuel Umtiti scoring the headed goal that decided the game. FIFA.com quotes France team reporter Adrien Gingold on the victory:

“France continue their brilliant showing as they avoided falling into Belgium's trap. After the Red Devils had dominated the first half, largely thanks to an awesome Eden Hazard, France took responsibility and controlled the match in the second. Didier Deschamps' team has many faces to it, but they are all smiling now.”

This marks the third time France has made it to the finals at the FIFA World Cup, after only winning the tournament once in 1998 on home soil. They will face either England or Croatia on Sunday, depending on who wins today’s game.

Manchester City has signed Riyad Mahrez for £60 million ($80 million USD) according to a report from the Associated Press. Mahrez previously played for Leicester City and was voted “player of the year” in England in 2016.

“I am so pleased to have joined City, a side playing great football under Pep Guardiola. They’re redefining the English game and I wanted to be a part of it,” Mahrez said on City’s website.

Roger Federer has been eliminated at Wimbledon after losing to South Africa’s Kevin Anderson 2-6, 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-4, 13-11. This will be Anderson’s first Wimbledon semi-final and he will face either Milos Raonic from Canada or John Isner from the United States.

In the Women’s Singles, Serena Williams will face German Julia Goerges on Thursday, and Latvian Jelena Ostapenko will square off against another German Angelique Kerber.

The AP reports that Peter Sagan has won the fifth stage of the Tour de France today, which is the race’s first hilly stage. This marks Sagan’s second victory of the race.
