France Wins Second World Cup, Kerber and Djokovic Victorious at
Wimbledon, Groenewegen and Degenkolb Win Stages on Tour de France, Dixon Wins
Indy Race in Toronto and Stanley Cup-Winning Goalie Ray Emery Drowns
France won their second ever World Cup title
yesterday with a 4-2 victory over Croatia at the 2018 FIFA World Cup final in
Russia. The team are now one of six in the tournament’s history to have won the
title more than once, after previously winning in 1998. FIFA.com quotes France’s team reporter Adrien Gingold on the victory:
“Tonight, the
Croatian team played better football, but France were more efficient, perhaps
even more intelligent. Les Bleus’ strength is exactly this: no matter who they faced, they found the
solution to beat their adversaries, one by one. Without being brilliant today,
they scored four goals, which gives an idea about France's level, and their
coach’s one. Today, with his smart tactical set-up, Didier Deschamps won the duel
with Dalic.”
On Saturday
Belgium beat England 2-0 for the third place title.
Germany’s
Angelique Kerber beat Serena
Williams 6-3, 6-3 for the Wimbledon Women’s Singles title on Saturday. It would
have been Williams eighth Wimbledon title and 24th Grand Slam title, a tie with
the current record held by Margaret Court. Kerber is the first German woman to
win the title since Steffi Graff in 1996.
For the Men’s
Singles title on Sunday, Serbia’s Novak Djokovic swept South African Kevin
Anderson 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (3), winning his fourth Wimbledon championship. ESPN quotes
Djokovic, who hasn’t won a Grand Slam title in two years, on the win:
"There is
no better place in the world to really be making a comeback," Djokovic
said. "This is a sacred place for the world of tennis."
Today is the
first Rest Day of the Tour de France. Over the weekend, however, Dutch rider
Dylan Groenewegen scored a back-to-back win after taking stages seven and eight
on Friday and Saturday respectively. Cycling News quotes
Groenewegen on the feat:
"The legs
are better every day,” Groenewegen said after the finish. “Today it was a fast
final with a lot of corners but the team did an amazing job and my position was
good and I saw Gaviria and Greipel were fighting for position. I saw the finish
and thought ‘this is the moment.’ It was a hectic final, but that’s every day
in the Tour.”
German rider
John Degenkolb won stage nine yesterday.
IndyCar racer
Scott Dixon won at the Honda Toronto Indy yesterday. It marks the third time
the New Zealand-born racer has won the race.
Stanley
Cup-winning goaltender Ray Emery drowned in Hamilton, Ontario after a “swimming
accident” according to a report from the Associated Press. The Chicago
Blackhawks, with whom Emery won the Cup in 2013, issued a statement regarding
his passing:
“The
Blackhawks will fondly remember Ray as a fierce competitor, a good teammate and
a Stanley Cup champion.”
