Spain-France football final and Jannik Sinner clinches Wimbledon

Two years after their Euro‑2024 semi‑final in Munich, Spain and France are set to clash again, this time in the World Cup final. Spain rely heavily on versatile midfielder Mikel Merino, who has become a decisive substitute after being redeployed as a centre‑forward at Leicester City, scoring crucial goals in knockout stages.

In tennis, Italy’s Jannik Sinner defended his Wimbledon crown, defeating Germany’s Alexander Zverev 6‑7 (7‑9), 7‑6 (7‑2), 6‑3, 6‑4 in a 228‑minute final. The victory marks Sinner’s second Wimbledon title and reinforces his status as world No. 1, despite a prior three‑month suspension for a minor steroid‑related violation.
