The second consecutive Wimbledon title comes for Carlos Alcaraz, who becomes the youngest tennis player in history to win the Paris-London double.

Rafael Nadal reached it at the age of 22, while Alcaraz at 21 years and 5 months.

The Spaniard defeated Novak Djokovic 3-0 in straight sets (6-2, 6-2, 7-6), who suffered his third defeat at Wimbledon in 10 finals played (he has won 7).

With this triumph, the Iberian tennis player brings the number of Grand Slam titles to four and will hardly stop in the near future.

Scenes not at all suitable for a football match were recorded at the end of the meeting between Uruguay and Colombia, who were playing for a place in the Copa América final.

As the match ended with a narrow 1-0 victory for the Colombians, the tension has shifted to the stands of the stadium, where Uruguayan players clashed with some rival fans.

The main protagonist in the ranks of the footballers was the star of Liverpool, Darwin Nunez who jumped on the steps of the stadium of Charlotte and started shooting anyone who came in front of him in the yellow shirt.

The clash escalated and other players became involved in the brawl, which is understood to have happened because some Colombia fans harassed Nunez’s family who were there.

Dortmund police are not classifying the Euro2024 semi-final between the Netherlands and England as high risk.

“We expect a peaceful event. There is no animosity between the two sets of fans. We anticipate a big and colorful football festival,” said a police spokeswoman.

However, special measures are still necessary due to the large crowd.

Up to 80,000 Dutch and 25,000 English fans are expected in the western German city, with only 65,000 on tickets.

The fan parks at Friedensplatz in the city and Westfalenpark near the stadium are likely to be packed with fans who do not have tickets for the match.

A planned fan march by thousands of Dutch fans wearing orange to the stadium, which has become one of the tournament’s most iconic images in previous rounds, also calls for police action. “Due to the amount of fans, we will deploy the appropriate forces,” said the police spokeswoman.

Cristiano Ronaldo missed an 11-meter penalty in the 105th minute in the duel against Slovenia, as his shot was stopped by goalkeeper Oblak. However, fortunately for him, the Portuguese star managed to celebrate at the end, where his national team triumphed from the penalty spot. CR7 took over the first penalty, but this time he turned it into a goal.

Speaking after the match, Ronaldo said: “I felt sadness, but in the end joy! This is football. I experienced incredible and inexplicable moments, I could have given my team the lead, but I couldn’t. Oblak made an incredible save, I don’t think the penalty was that bad, but I was wrong anyway.

I felt sad, but the most important thing is to enjoy the passage to the next round. The team did an outstanding job and fought very well: Slovenia was well positioned and made it difficult for us. And then our goalkeeper made three wonderful saves”, declared Ronaldo.
