Everything Except Easy: How Jannik Sinner Fought Back to Win Wimbledon 2025

Fola Badmus05 mins

Jannik Sinner stood victorious on Centre Court, arms raised, then dropped to his knees—overcome by the moment. Just five weeks after suffering a gut-wrenching loss at the French Open, the 23-year-old Italian bounced back in stunning fashion to win his first Wimbledon title, defeating archrival Carlos Alcaraz in a gripping final. “Only me and the people who are close to me know exactly what we have been through on and off the court,” Sinner said, fighting back emotion. “It has been everything except easy.” The victory makes Sinner the first Italian man to win Wimbledon, and it came just over a month after he had lost to Alcaraz in a five-set classic in Paris—after holding three championship points. Redemption After Roland Garros That French Open defeat had the potential to unravel a lesser athlete. But for Sinner, it became fuel. After just three days off to regroup with friends and family, he returned to training with a vengeance. “This match was important for many reasons,” said Darren Cahill, one of his coaches. “He knew the importance of closing this one out when he had the opportunity.” Grass-Court Struggles to Centre Court Glory Sinner’s Wimbledon campaign didn’t start smoothly. He exited early in Halle, his only grass-court warm-up. And during his fourth-round match at SW19, he found himself down two sets to Grigor Dimitrov before an injury to the Bulgarian shifted the match. Sinner also suffered an elbow knock during that match but powered through the pain to defeat Ben Shelton and Novak Djokovic in straight sets en route to the final. By dethroning Alcaraz—his first win in their last six meetings—Sinner added Wimbledon to his 2024 and 2025 Australian Open titles, taking a huge step toward a career Grand Slam. Setbacks Off the Court Sinner’s 2025 season has not been without controversy. Earlier this year, he served a three-month doping ban after testing positive for clostebol, a banned substance. Though the World Anti-Doping Agency found he had no intention to cheat, he accepted responsibility for his team’s error. He returned in time for the French Open and has since retained his world No. 1 ranking, highlighting his consistency and resilience. “He’s had a challenging year,” Cahill admitted. “The guy you see on court—so focused and precise—is also a fun, relaxed guy off court, always joking and messing around. We’re proud of the way he’s carried himself.” A Rivalry for the Ages Sinner and Alcaraz have now claimed eight of the last nine Grand Slam titles between them, with their rivalry shaping a new era in men’s tennis. And as Sinner hoisted the Wimbledon trophy aloft, he shared a knowing smile with Alcaraz, a silent nod to battles fought—and still to come. “It doesn’t matter how you win or lose,” Sinner said. “You just have to understand what you did wrong and work on that. That’s why I’m holding this trophy.” Source: By Harry Poole, BBC Sport

Fola Badmus03 mins

Southend Airport has been shut down until further notice after a light aircraft crashed and burst into flames shortly after takeoff on Sunday afternoon, sending plumes of black smoke into the sky and triggering an emergency response. According to Essex Police, officers responded to reports of a collision involving a 12-metre aircraft at approximately 3:48 p.m. The scene remains active as emergency services continue operations at the crash site. Authorities have urged the public to avoid the area, stating that “work will be ongoing for several hours.” Passengers Advised to Contact Airlines Southend Airport confirmed the closure, citing a “serious incident” and advising Monday passengers to contact their airlines for travel updates and alternatives. “We ask that any passengers due to travel tomorrow via London Southend Airport contact their airline for information and advice,” the airport said in a statement. Dutch Charter Firm Confirms Aircraft Involved Zeusch Aviation, a charter operator based in the Netherlands, identified the aircraft involved as their SUZ1 flight, a Beech B200 Super King Air that was headed to Lelystad Airport in the Netherlands. “Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected,” the company said. Eyewitness: “There Was a Large Fireball” Eyewitness John Johnson, who was at the airport with his wife and children, said the pilots waved to families while taxiing before the crash occurred seconds after takeoff. “The aircraft took off and within a few seconds had a steep bank to the left. It almost seemed to invert and unfortunately crashed. There was a large fireball,” Johnson told Sky News. Investigation Underway Authorities have not yet confirmed the number of occupants on board or any casualties. Flight tracking data shows the plane was in the air for just moments before the crash. Emergency responders, including police, fire services, and medical personnel, remain at the scene, and investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the crash.

Fola Badmus02 mins

Vice President Kashim Shettima is currently in London to accompany the remains of former President Muhammadu Buhari back to Nigeria for burial, following Buhari’s death on Sunday afternoon. Shettima departed Nigeria around midnight on Sunday and was received in the United Kingdom on Monday morning by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuff Tuggar, Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum, and Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu reportedly dispatched the Vice President with the presidential air fleet to retrieve the late President’s body after learning of his demise. Buhari, who had been hospitalised in the UK for a prolonged illness, passed away quietly at about 4:30 pm on Sunday in a private clinic in London. The former president’s corpse is expected to arrive in Nigeria today (Monday) for final burial rites, which will receive full honours from the Federal Government. In response to the development, President Tinubu has summoned an emergency Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting to deliberate on the government’s involvement in the burial and other state responsibilities. Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s civilian president from 2015 to 2023, will be buried in accordance with Islamic rites. More details on the funeral plans and national tributes are expected to follow shortly.

Awujale of Ijebuland Oba Sikiru Adetona to Be Buried Today at Ijebu Ode Residence

Fola Badmus02 mins

The remains of Alayeluwa Oba Dr. Sikiru Kayode Adetona, the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, will be laid to rest today (Monday) in accordance with Islamic rites. The burial ceremony is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at his Igbeba residence, Ogbagba Court, in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State. Oba Adetona passed away on Sunday at the age of 91, just hours after the death of his longtime friend, former President Muhammadu Buhari. Though official details surrounding the monarch’s death remain limited, palace sources said the revered royal died peacefully after a brief illness. Born May 10, 1934, Oba Adetona ascended the throne on April 2, 1960, making him one of Nigeria’s longest-reigning traditional rulers, with a remarkable 65-year reign marked by wisdom, stability, and community advancement. The monarch was known for his close relationships with several national leaders, including Buhari, with whom he shared a deep friendship forged during Nigeria’s early post-independence years. Tributes have begun pouring in from political leaders, royal families, and citizens across the country. Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun described Oba Adetona as “a towering figure of integrity, courage, and service whose reign brought unprecedented progress to Ijebuland.” The burial ceremony is expected to draw high-profile dignitaries, traditional rulers, and community members, as Ijebuland mourns the passing of its revered monarch.

Mission X: Super Falcons to Play Zambia in Quarter-Final

Fola Badmus03 mins

Algeria’s Lady Fennecs successfully stifled the Super Falcons to earn a scoreless draw in their final group B match of the 13th Women Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday and earn a spot in the tournament’s quarter-finals for the first time ever. Head Coach Justine Madugu made eight changes to the squad that started against Botswana in Thursday’s 1-0 defeat of Botswana, with defenders Shukurat Oladipo, Miracle Usani and Sikiratu Isah, midfielders Christy Ucheibe and Jennifer Echegini, and forwards Francisca Ordega, Ifeaoma Onumonu and Chinwendu Ihezuo starting alongside goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, defender Tosin Demehin and captain Rasheedat Ajibade. The intention was clear, which was to rest a lot of key players ahead of Friday’s potentially-explosive quarter-final encounter against Zambia’s Copper Queens. In Casablanca on Sunday, Algeria, like Botswana before them, threw women behind the ball in numbers, and stymied the play of the Super Falcons. However, Francisca Ordega was vibrant, as she was against Portugal in the friendly match in Lisbon last month. Her cross just before half time spilled to Ifeoma Onumonu, whose effort was blocked before it got to the brilliant goalkeeper Chloe N’gazi Boumrar. In the 52nd minute, a melee ensued in the Algerian box but the ball would not just not in, and three minutes later, Ordega, unselfishly, laid the ball in the path of Ajibade, who was double-teamed off the ball. Later on, Echegini, Ordega and substitute Esther Okoronkwo made efforts, but it ended scoreless and ensured the Lady Fennecs’ progress to the last eight.

WAFU B U20 Boys Tourney: Flying Eagles Spank Junior Cheetahs, Reach Semi-Finals

Fola Badmus02 mins

The match began with a slow response from the Flying Eagles, as the Benin Republic team approached the game with intensity. This strategy paid off when Junior Olugbade scored a brilliantly executed free-kick into the bottom corner, giving the Junior Cheetahs the lead in the 24th minute. The scoreline was level going into recess, thanks to an equaliser from Mohammed Abdullahi. In the second half, the Flying Eagles quickly asserted dominance, demonstrating effective play within the box. A well-coordinated buildup led to a pass for Ezekiel Kpangu, who scored effortlessly, bringing the score to 2-1 in favour of the Flying Eagles. The team extended their lead to 3-1 when Imrana Mohammed skillfully navigated through the Junior Cheetahs’ defence and successfully placed the ball past the goalkeeper. As the match drew to a close, the Flying Eagles maintained their momentum with a strategic long ball for Imrana Mohammed, who then assisted Abdulahi Majid. Majid’s remarkable shot from outside the box resulted in the fourth goal of the match for the Flying Eagles. The game concluded with a score of 4-1 in favour of the Flying Eagles, and defender Odinaka Okoro was selected as the Man of the Match.

Chelsea Stuns PSG to Win FIFA Club World Cup

Fola Badmus04 mins

Cole Palmer rang up two goals and one assist in a sensational first half and Chelsea toppled Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 to win the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday. Palmer scored in the 22nd and 30th minutes and Joao Pedro tacked on the third goal right before halftime, capitalizing on Palmer’s fine touch into the box. Robert Sanchez, meanwhile, saved six shots in his best showing of the tournament. Chelsea, who won the 2021 Club World Cup that featured only eight teams, battled past Portugal’s Benfica and Brazilian sides Palmeiras and Fluminense in the knockouts to face Paris Saint-Germain — six weeks removed from their first UEFA Champions League trophy. PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma made two saves on five shots on goal. The European champions had allowed just one goal in their first six matches of the Cup. The frustrated Parisians went down to 10 men in the 85th minute when Joao Neves pulled Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella by the hair, was caught on video review and shown red. Altercations spilled past the final whistle, and PSG coach Luis Enrique appeared to grab at Pedro’s neck while he and Donnarumma confronted Chelsea players. Cucurella made a crucial stop to keep the game scoreless in the 16th minute. Fabian Ruiz made a great pass across the box to Desire Doue, who could have shot it but instead tried a centering pass to a teammate that Cucurella intercepted. Six minutes later, Palmer — whose first attempt barely missed wide left in the eighth — got the scoring started. Malo Gusto picked up a wayward header from PSG’s Nuno Mendes and ran into the box. After a fancy dribble to create space, his shot was blocked right back to his feet, so he fed Palmer for a left-footer to the bottom left corner. Levi Colwill earned the assist on the second goal for his long ball downfield to Palmer. From there, Palmer calmly dribbled toward the center of the 18-yard line and fired the same low, left-footer for an identical goal. In the 43rd, Palmer tapped a pass between two defenders for Pedro, who popped his shot over a sprawling Donnarumma’s right shoulder. Sanchez dove to meet Neves’ stoppage-time header just before the goal line. His heroics continued in the second half, as he swatted away a shot by Ousmane Dembele from close range.
