Berlin – Saba: Tunisian tennis player Ons Jabeur, ranked 61st in the world, pulled off a surprise victory on Wednesday by defeating Italy's Jasmine Paolini, the world No. 5, in straight sets (6-1, 6-3) to secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the Berlin Open (a WTA 500 tournament). The 30-year-old Tunisian sealed the match against her Italian opponent in one hour and 16 minutes, marking her third head-to-head victory against Paolini compared to three losses, according to the Anadolu Agency.

Al-Ahly of Egypt begins FIFA club World Cup Campaign with draw against Inter Miami
Washington - Saba: Egypt's Al-Ahly started their journey in the FIFA Club World Cup, currently being held in the United States, with a goalless draw against Inter Miami in the opening round of Group 1. The match took place at Hard Rock Stadium early Sunday, Sana'a time. The Egyptian team missed a golden opportunity to secure all three points, squandering several clear chances to score. Mahmoud Hassan "Trezeguet" failed to convert a penalty in the 43rd minute, saved by Inter Miami's standout Argentine goalkeeper, Oscar Ostari. The American side, led by Argentine star Lionel Messi, posed little threat to Al-Ahly's goal, aside from a few individual attempts that all went off target. Al-Ahly will face Brazil's Palmeiras in their next match on Thursday, while Inter Miami takes on Portugal's Porto in the second round of Group 1 fixtures. The United States is hosting the first expanded edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, featuring 32 teams from June 14 to July 13, 2025.
