In the final, the 24-year-old Italian star defeated Germany’s Alexander Zverev in four sets with a 3-1 margin, securing his fifth Grand Slam title. He became the tenth male player in the Open Era to win Wimbledon consecutively twice. This victory represents not only another Grand Slam for Sinner but also a triumphant response to the painful defeat he endured at the French Open.

At the French Open, unable to maintain a two-set lead and a 5–1 advantage in the deciding set, he was defeated by Argentina’s Juan Manuel Cerundolo. He had already faced difficult defeats in Paris for two consecutive years prior.

Sinner’s journey at Wimbledon was not easy either. He had to battle through a five-set struggle against Miomir Kecmanović in the first round. A loss in that match would have seen him exit in the first round, making him the third former champion to do so. However, that hard-fought victory helped him regain his rhythm. He then won five straight matches in straight sets to reach the final. In the semifinals, he decisively defeated Novak Djokovic, who has won 24 Grand Slam titles.

In the final against Zverev, Sinner faced pressure after dropping the opening set. However, he maintained composure, delivering excellent returns and breaking serve at critical moments to secure the win. Reflecting on his triumph, Sinner said, ‘This title is extremely special for me after Paris. After that loss, I worked very hard to become competitive here.’

Sinner’s coach Darren Cahill also highlighted the player’s resilience after setbacks as his greatest strength. ‘He has suffered many tough defeats, but those losses do not stop him. He comes back stronger after every failure,’ Cahill remarked.

Sinner’s performance this year has been exceptional. He has won 44 out of 47 matches. Since winning Wimbledon last year, he has succeeded in 77 of 83 matches played. With this Wimbledon title, Sinner has further solidified his position as the world No. 1. Despite losing the final, Zverev is set to move up to world No. 2 on Monday, surpassing the injured Carlos Alcaraz. Former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli has compared Sinner’s playing style to Novak Djokovic’s. ‘Considering his ability to handle pressure, play extraordinarily swiftly when needed, and win difficult situations, Sinner could become the next Novak Djokovic for the next 10 to 15 years,’ she said.

Written by space4knews on . Posted in International.

News Summary

Prepared after review.

  • US Republican Senator and close ally of former President Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, has passed away at the age of 71.
  • Initial medical examinations indicate death was caused by a ruptured main artery of the heart.
  • Prior to his death, he met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a visit to Ukraine on Friday.

June 29, Kathmandu – Lindsey Graham, a close ally of former US President Donald Trump and Republican Senator, died at the age of 71.

According to his office, he suddenly fell ill on Saturday evening and subsequently passed away. Preliminary medical tests revealed that the cause of death was a ruptured main artery (aorta) of the heart.

Elected as Senator from South Carolina in 2002, Graham was one of the most influential figures in US foreign policy and was a strong supporter of American military intervention.

President Trump described Graham as a ‘true American patriot’ and expressed that his loss would be deeply felt.

Before his death, Graham was visiting Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and had met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday. He was reported to be in full health prior to the visit.

Trump also mentioned speaking with Graham just a few hours before his death, saying, ‘Graham sounded fine, though a bit tired.’

Trump added, ‘He was a man of firm character who did not back down in the face of opposition once he believed he was right, and he was a good man.’

From Critic to Supporter of Trump

Initially, Graham was a fierce critic of Trump. In 2015, he accused Trump of being ‘ethnically divisive, xenophobic, and religiously intolerant.’

However, prior to the 2016 election, he warned, ‘If Trump becomes the nominee, we will lose and we will be responsible for that.’

After the violent attack on the US Capitol in 2021, he stated in the Senate, ‘My journey with Trump was long — I did not want it to end this way.’

His stance later shifted; he voted against convicting Trump in the 2021 impeachment and supported him in the 2024 presidential election.

Graham cited his support for Trump’s policies on the US-Mexico border, the killing of Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani, and judicial appointments as reasons for his backing.

In 2023, he said, ‘Trump has a dark side, but he was a good president and I support him.’

Strong Stance on Foreign Policy

Graham was known for his interventionist approach to foreign policy. He was a staunch supporter of Israel and an advocate for military action against Iran.

Last month, in one of his final television interviews, he warned that if Iran did not recognize US control, America would completely destroy the Strait of Hormuz.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paid tribute to him, calling Graham a person who understood the intrinsic link between Israel and US security.

He voted for military action against Iraq following the September 11 attacks in 2001 and opposed the 2021 decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan.

He said, ‘This is a tragic event for US national security, and it will portray America as a weakened nation.’

Personal Life

Graham was a firm supporter of military aid to Ukraine and additional sanctions against Russia.

President Zelensky expressed deep sorrow on social media, calling him a strong leader.

Graham’s youth was marked by hardship; during his university studies, he lost both parents within two years, after which he raised and legally adopted his younger sister.

After studying law and serving as a military prosecutor and defense attorney in the U.S. Air Force, he went on to become a Senator.

Before Graham’s passing, Republicans held a narrow 53–47 majority in the Senate, and the control of the Senate is expected to be fiercely contested in November.

Meanwhile, another Republican Senator, Mitch McConnell, has been undergoing treatment for unspecified health issues, with no detailed updates on his condition from aides.

FIFA President Infantino Indicates Possibility of Expanding Men’s World Cup to 64 Teams

Written by space4knews on . Posted in Sports.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has suggested the possibility of increasing the number of teams in the men’s World Cup to 64. He emphasized that the World Cup should be accessible to all and that smaller nations should also be given opportunities to compete. However, leaders of the European and Asian football confederations have opposed this expansion, citing concerns over potential disorder.

Infantino stated that discussions about a 64-team World Cup will take place after the 2026 tournament. In an interview with Swiss media, he highlighted that the World Cup is hosted not only for Europe and South America but for the entire world, and therefore, every country should have the chance to dream of participating. He said, “The World Cup should be for everyone. Opportunities must be given to smaller countries. Without them, there is less motivation to improve.”

The FIFA president claimed the 48-team World Cup has been a success, underscoring the performances of African teams as justification for expansion. He noted that, this time, nine out of ten African teams advanced to the knockout stages. FIFA had decided to expand the World Cup from 32 to 48 teams in 2017.

The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) formally proposed in 2025 to expand the 2030 World Cup to 64 teams. Nevertheless, not all parties agree with the 64-team proposal. UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin described it as a bad idea for both the competition and qualification process. Similarly, Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, President of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), warned that further expansion might cause disorganization.

The 2030 World Cup will be jointly hosted by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. To commemorate the centenary of the tournament, the first three matches will take place in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. If the tournament is expanded to 64 teams, nearly one-third of FIFA’s 211 member nations would have the opportunity to participate. Furthermore, the increase in matches and revenue is expected to enhance the distribution of funds to member associations.
