Tennis: Vondrousova warms up for Wimbledon with Berlin title - Omni sports
Marketa Vondrousova ended the run of Chinese qualifier Wang Xinyu to land the Berlin WTA title on Sunday and ignite dreams of a second Wimbledon victory. The Czech, who won Wimbledon in 2023, was pushed hard by Wang, appearing in her first final, but eventually emerged the 7-6 (12/10), 4-6, 6-2 winner. This was Vondrousova's third success on the WTA tour and it proved she is hitting form at the right moment after a torrid time with injury with Wimbledon starting on Monday week. The 25-year-old, finalist at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, has tumbled down the world rankings to 164 from sixth after months away from the court with a left shoulder injury for which she underwent surgery last year. This was her first title match since she defeated Ons Jabeur in straight sets at Wimbledon two years ago. Immediate reward for the win will come on Monday when she shoots up inside the top 100 to 73 in the latest WTA world order.

Official: Al-Ahly and Pyramids FC in the Champions League
Amir Haggag The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) notified the Confederation of African Football (CAF) of the participation of Al-Ahly and Pyramids FC in the new edition of the CAF Champions League, as the first and second placed teams in the Egyptian Premier League competition last season (2024-25). Zamalek, the Egypt Cup champion, and Al-Masry, the fourth-placed team in the league table, will also participate in the CAF Confederation Cup. The Egyptian Professional Clubs Association set August 8 as the start date for the new 2025-26 Premier League season, following its recent meeting with the EFA and the heads of the Premier League clubs, and after agreement with the EFA and Hossam Hassan, the national team coach. The Egyptian Football Association announced the end of the Egyptian Premier League in May 2026. This is the second consecutive season in which the association has fulfilled its pledge to finish the competition in line with the schedules of the major European leagues, following years of confusion and postponements that disrupted the league's schedule. The league's start date, set for August 8th instead of the 15th, was brought forward so that players can play three or four rounds with their clubs before the national team's training camp in September to resume its 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The league also aims to end the competition well before the World Cup, allowing the national team to set up its training camp in preparation for the tournament in a timely manner. This comes as part of the Egyptian Football Association and the association's efforts to provide the national team with every means of comfort and success. The new season will see the participation of 21 teams, following the decision to abolish relegation last season. The league will be held in a two-stage format, with the first stage being played in a single-round league format. The teams will then be divided into two groups: a crowning group, which includes the teams competing for the title and continental championship qualifying spots, and a relegation group, which will compete to remain in the league. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
