Shortest women's Wimbledon finals: Iga Swiatek beats Amanda Anisimova in 57 minutesNew Foto - Shortest women's Wimbledon finals: Iga Swiatek beats Amanda Anisimova in 57 minutes

There was not a more dominant player in theWimbledon women's singlesside of the bracket thanIga Swiatek, and she's a champion for it. Swiatek, the No. 4 player in the world, shut out American Amanda Anisimova in straight sets 6-0, 6-0 in thewomen's singles finalsat the 2025 Wimbledon Championship on July 12. It was her sixth straight-sets victory atthe All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Clubin the last two weeks. Swiatek's big day on the grass court surface turned out to be a historic one for the Polish women's tennis player, who took social media by storm this past week with her favorite meal:strawberries and pasta. The 24-year-old, who has now won six Grand Slam majors, won her first Wimbledon title in timely record fashion: seventh-fastest of the Open era, at 57 minutes. That wasn't the only history made by Swiatek. Her double bagel win over Anisimova also marked just the second ever such score for a women's singles final at Wimbledon — and the first since 1911. It was also the first double bagel in a Grand Slam women's singles final since the 1988 French Open. As noted by ESPN,Swiatek became just the eighth woman tennis player, and the only active WTA player, to win major titleson all three surfaces. She won herfirst Grand Slam major title on the clay court surfaceat the French Open in 2020, while winning her first title on the hard court surface at the US Open in 2022. Here's what you need to know on Swiatek's Wimbledon championship: REQUIRED READING:Wimbledon women's final highlights: Swiatek cruises to win over Anisimova Swiatek needed just 57 minutes to beat Anisimova in the women's singles finals at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships for her first Wimbledon title. "Honestly, I didn't even dream (of this) because for me it was just way too far,"Swiatek said post-matchon the court of winning Wimbledon. "I feel like I'm already an experienced player, after winning Slams before, but I never really expected this one."

Aaron Judge hits 350th career home run, reaching milestone faster than any player in MLB historyNew Foto - Aaron Judge hits 350th career home run, reaching milestone faster than any player in MLB history

Aaron Judgehit his 350th career home run inSaturday's 5-2 lossto theChicago Cubs. In doing so, theNew York Yankeesslugger reached the milestone faster than any other player in baseball history. The homer was No. 35 for Judge this season, and it came in the ninth inning against Cubs relieverBrad Keller. Keller tried to get a 97.7 mph fastball past Judge high in the strike zone, but it was right down the middle, and Judge didn't miss it. AARON JUDGE HAS REACHED 350 CAREER HOME RUNS!pic.twitter.com/z9HbEK31iQ — Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks)July 12, 2025 Judge reached 350 home runs in 1,088 career games; that's 192 games sooner than Mark McGwire, who hit homer No. 350 in 1,280 games,according to MLB.com's Sarah Langs. The five players below Judge on the list are as follows: Aaron Judge: 1,088 games Mark McGwire: 1,280 games Juan Gonzalez: 1,298 games Alex Rodriguez: 1,301 games Harmon Killebrew: 1,319 games Albert Pujols: 1,320 games Fewest career games to 350 home runs:Aaron Judge: 1,088Mark McGwire: 1,280Juan Gonzalez: 1,298Alex Rodriguez: 1,301Harmon Killebrew: 1,319Albert Pujols: 1,320https://t.co/ZSb21CwyPD — Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports)July 12, 2025 Judge is the fourth player to reach 350 home runs while wearing the Yankees pinstripes, joining Babe Ruth, Alex Rodriguez and current teammate Giancarlo Stanton. While Judge will have at least 35 homers before the All-Star break, the fourth-highest total in MLB history, he still trailsSeattle MarinerscatcherCal Raleigh, whohas 38 home runsafter hitting two inFriday's 12-3 winover theDetroit Tigers. Presuming that both players maintain their home run production through the second half of the season, the American League MVP race could be a tight one. Raleigh currently has the home run lead and leads MLB with 82 RBI, but Judge is batting .358 with a 1.204 OPS. Judge is currently on pace for 60 home runs, which would be the second time he has hit that mark during his career and the fourth time he hit 50 or more homers in a season. Last year, he hit 58 home runs while winning his second AL MVP.

Schumer demands RFK Jr. declare measles emergency, saying he 'walked' US into outbreakNew Foto - Schumer demands RFK Jr. declare measles emergency, saying he 'walked' US into outbreak

Senate Minority LeaderChuck Schumerdemanded Health and Human Services SecretaryRobert F. Kennedy Jr.declare a nationwide emergency overspiking measles cases, accusing him of fueling the outbreak bydismantling public healthandundermining trust in vaccines. "Under your tutelage as Secretary, you have undermined vaccines, gutted public health funding, and dismantled core federal protections meant to keep Americans safe," Schumer wrote in a July 11letter. "You have walked our country into the nation's largest measles outbreak in 33 years," he added. More:President Trump's favorite candymaker is not RFK-approved. Is a clash brewing? A quarter century after measles were eradicated in the U.S., cases have skyrocketed this year, reaching 1,288 confirmed cases across 39 states, according to theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention. Three people have died this year.Officials sayalmost nine in ten of the cases are spread across New Mexico and Texas, the site of a Mennonite community that became the initial hub of the outbreak earlier this year. Most cases – 65% – are in people 19 years old and younger, and the vast majority – 92% – are unvaccinated people. The outbreak has turned attention and heavy criticism from health experts towards Kennedy's vaccine skepticism and baseless claims that vaccines are dangerous and ineffective.Kennedy has said the measles vaccineweakens over time – a claim disputed by scientists – and that "we can't rely simply on the vaccine" to address the outbreak. He has alsodownplayedthe measles outbreak, saying more focus should be turned on chronic diseases like diabetes and autism instead. In May, Kennedydirectedthe CDC to find new "scientific process" for treating measles and other diseases with drugs and vitamins. Although vaccines would still be recommended as the best way to prevent the disease, some "may choose not to vaccinate." More:Measles was eradicated in the US 25 years ago. This week, cases reached a new high. Kennedy fired all 17 members of a vaccine advisory last month, refilling it with somevaccine skeptics who have announcedtheir first priority would be retooling vaccine recommendations for children. Kennedy's drastic cuts to department programs and slashing of thousands of workers at the department have sparked alarm from public health experts andoutrage from Democratic lawmakers.Kennedy said in Aprilhe would sack 10,000 Health and Human Services employees as part of theTrump administration's effortsto downsize the federal workforce. Since then, the department has faced a myriad of legal challenges, most recently from top medical organizationsover Kennedy dropping the COVID vaccinefrom the list of recommended shots for children and pregnant women. Schumer is the latest Democrat on Capitol Hill to upbraid Kennedy in recent days over the measles outbreak. "We have a record-breaking number of measles cases in America," Sen. Patty Murray, D-WA, wrote on X, accusing Kennedy of filling the vaccine panel with "unvetted vaccine skeptics." "Where is our public hearing on this crisis?" The measles vaccine is 97% effective at preventing the disease when administered in the recommended two doses, according to theCDC. Since the start of the COVID pandemic, when skepticism of vaccines surged, buoyed by online conspiracies and distrust of public health institutions, measles vaccinationshave droppedacross the nation.

Trump lashes out at Rosie O'Donnell, threatens to take away US citizenshipNew Foto - Trump lashes out at Rosie O'Donnell, threatens to take away US citizenship

President Trump on Saturday lashed out against comedian Rosie O'Donnell, calling her a "threat to humanity" and noting that he is "seriously considering" revoking her citizenship. "Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship," Trump wrote in a Saturday morningTruth Social post. "She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!" he added. O'Donnell, a long-time critic of the president,relocated to Irelandover her distaste with the president and his administration. The comedian, in response to Trump's Saturday post, called the president a "criminal," "con man," and "sexual abusing liar." "I stand in direct opposition [of] all he represents," she wrote onInstagram. "So do millions of others." Since Trump returned to the White House earlier this year, the administration has sought torevoke green cardsfrom foreign-born students activists whohave criticizedthe country's foreign policy decisions, particularly amid the Israel-Hamas war. The administration maintains it is following the law and these individuals are threats to the the country. In March, O'Donnell uploaded a post on TikTok with her daughter, telling followers, "When, you know, it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back." "It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know," O'Donnell added. She later said she was "sleeping better" after the move to a community that was "welcoming" and "loving" signaling that an end to her feud with Trump wasn't near in sight. O'Donnell first came to blows with the president in 2006 when she called Trump a "snake-oil salesman" for allowing former Miss USA, Tara Conner to keep her title amid drug-use allegations.From there, the two's hope for a clear sailing relationship has veered off course. "Rosie is a very unattractive person, both inside and out," Donald Trump said in a decades old interview on "Entertainment Tonight." "She's basically a disaster," he concluded.

Buxton hits for the cycle on his bobblehead day as Twins beat Pirates, 12-4New Foto - Buxton hits for the cycle on his bobblehead day as Twins beat Pirates, 12-4

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — All-Star center fielder Byron Buxtonhit for the cycleon his bobblehead day, completing it with a solo home run in the seventh inning, and the Minnesota Twins routed the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-4 on Saturday. Buxton hit a single in the first inning, a triple in the second and a double in the third. He singled again in the fifth before stepping to the plate in the seventh for one more chance at the first cycle ever at Target Field, which opened in 2010. Facing Pirates reliever Andrew Heaney, Buxton hit a solo homer 427 feet to center field tocomplete the cycle— and send Target Field into a frenzy. His timing was perfect, too: Saturday's giveaway at the stadium was a Buxton bobblehead of his "Buck Truck" home run celebration. Buxton's homer came two days before the Home Run Derby, in which he'll participate in his home state of Georgia at Truist Park in Atlanta. Kody Clemens hit a three-run homer in the Twins' six-run second inning. Matt Wallner and Willi Castro each hit solo homers, with Castro's coming right after Buxton's momentous blast. Cole Sands threw two hitless innings as Minnesota's opening pitcher. Reliever Travis Adams (1-0) gave up two hits and two runs — one unearned — in four innings to pick up his first career win in his second major league appearance. Pirates starter Mike Burrows (1-3) recorded just four outs before he was lifted in his shortest start of the year. Jack Suwinski homered for the Pirates, who lost their eighth straight game. Key moment Buxton's cycle was the highlight of the game, but it was Clemens' blast that opened the floodgates in the Twins' six-run second inning. Key stat Buxton became the 12th player in Twins history to hit for the cycle. Up next RHP Mitch Keller (3-10, 3.58 ERA) starts Pittsburgh's final game before the All-Star break. RHP Simeon Woods Richardson (5-4, 4.08) takes the mound Sunday for the Twins. ___ AP MLB:https://apnews.com/hub/MLB

Shohei Ohtani pitches 3 scoreless innings against the GiantsNew Foto - Shohei Ohtani pitches 3 scoreless innings against the Giants

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Shohei Ohtani pitched three scoreless innings against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday as the Dodgers star continues to work his way back from elbow surgery. Working as an opener for the fifth time this season after not pitching in all of 2024, Ohtani threw 36 pitches, 25 for strikes while serving as Los Angeles' opener for the fifth time this season. He allowed one hit and struck out the side on 12 pitches in the first inning when his fastball was twice clocked at 99.9 mph. "Overall a very efficient outing," Ohtani said through an interpreter. "I was glad that I was able to prevent runs and we were able to keep the lead throughout the game." The Giants only two runners against Ohtani came on a four-pitch walk to Jung Hoo Lee in the second inning and Mike Yastrzemski's single in the third. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted a difference in Ohtani's mindset when he's on the mound. "You can just see it. ... that different demeanor that he carries on days that he pitches," Roberts said. "He really is very smart as far as being astute and knowing where we're at and knowing that this is an important win for us, an important day. He brought that intensity today. It's not overt but you can feel it." Ohtani threw 19 pitches that were at least 97 mph. "Aside from the stuff, I'm more happy with the command of my pitches and being able to attack the zone," Ohtani said. "Today was one of those days where my fastball felt pretty good, so I leaned on it a little bit more today." The two-way Japanese star, who did not pitch in all of 2024, was also the team's designated hitter and hit in the leadoff. He grounded out in his first two at-bats and then struck out twice. Ohtani has allowed one run and five hits over nine innings this season. ___ AP MLB:https://apnews.com/hub/MLB

Trump posts support for embattled Attorney General Pam BondiNew Foto - Trump posts support for embattled Attorney General Pam Bondi

President Donald Trump has come out in support of embattled Attorney General Pam Bondi following a dispute between her and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino over the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The Justice Department decided not to release any additional Epstein files and has affirmed that there is no list containing Epstein's clients. Bongino, frustrated with the DOJ's decision, had a heated confrontation with Bondi andhas considered resigningfrom his post amid the disagreement, according to a person who has spoken with Bongino and a source familiar with the interactions that Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel have had with Bondi. Epsteindied in 2019 while in custody, and a medical examiner ruled his death a suicide. He was facing sex trafficking and conspiracy charges. The handling of the Epstein files has become a flashpoint of disagreement among MAGA conservatives. Trump sought to unify his party Saturday, as he came out in support of Bondi, taking to social media to say she is doing a "fantastic job" and that his administration should all be "one Team." "What's going on with my 'boys' and, in some cases, 'gals?' They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We're on one Team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and 'selfish people' are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein,"Trump wrote. The president went on to name check FBI Director Kash Patel, saying his agency should be focused on a list of other priorities, "instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein." The list included calling for an investigation into the 2020 election, which Trump has repeatedly falsely claimed was rigged. "LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE'S GREAT!" Trump wrote, adding that people should "not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about."
