Vondrousova stuns Sabalenka 6-2, 6-4 for Berlin Open final against Wang
BERLIN (AP) — Marketa Vondrousova upset top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-2, 6-4 in their semifinal Saturday to set up a showdown with Chinese qualifier Wang Xinyu in the final of the Berlin Open. Vondrousova, the 2023 Wimbledon champion, needed 1 hour and 21 minutes for her first win over a reigning No. 1. Advertisement Sabalenka staged a comeback Friday by saving four match points against Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals. She had won all seven semifinals she played in this year but couldn't find a response against the 164th-ranked Vondrousova, who missed three months of the season with a shoulder injury. Sunday's final will be Vondrousova's first since she won at Wimbledon. Wang beat Liudmila Samsonova 6-4, 6-1 in their semifinal earlier Saturday to move into her first final. ___ AP tennis: The Associated Press

Three shutouts by Aaron Moss, Slater Scholaf and Crew Bellan lead the way. But the Preppers aren't a one-trick team, as displayed in the regional round. University has power from players including Tucker Greer and Deacon Nelson to take anything left over the middle of the plate deep. Or the Preppers can play small ball with Jack Nelson and James Bucci bringing in runs on line drives against CVCA. But it all hinges on the pitching and experience of the team's seniors, like Moss and Greer, who have played varsity since their freshman campaigns. Two more wins and the seniors bring home their first baseball state championship in school history. … Wapakoneta had a close call in its regional semifinal, holding off a three-run seventh inning by Toledo St. Francis de Sales. It has three strong pitchers in Grant Jolley, Drew Bailey and Daron Houser. Wapakoneta also brings strong bats with Bailey having a triple and two runs against Akron SVSM, plus four more driving in runs against the Irish. Against St. Francis de Sales, Jarrett Mullen hit a home run in the fourth that put the game out of reach. Wapakoneta has state runner-up finishes in 2012 and 2018 and is also seeking its first state championship. Hercik's pick: University

Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime falls to Taylor Fritz in Stuttgart Open semifinals
Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime, returns a shot to Taylor Fritz of the USA during their men's singles semifinal tennis match of the Stuttgart Open, in Stuttgart, Germany, Saturday, June 14, 2025. (Marijan Murat/dpa via AP) STUTTGART — Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime fell 6-4, 7-6 (5) to American Taylor Fritz on Saturday in semifinal action at the Stuttgart Open. The Montreal native played Fritz close throughout the match, going back and forth to tie the first set at 4-4 before Fritz pulled away to win it. Auger-Aliassime then pushed the back-and-forth second set to a tiebreaker, knotting the score at 4-4 and then being back 6-5 before Fritz capitalized on match point. The 24-year-old Auger-Aliassime had 15 aces to just one double fault, and won 81 per cent of his first-serve points. However, he did not have a single break point chance and had 23 unforced errors to Fritz's 12. Fritz, on the other hand, had 10 aces to one double fault, won 86 per cent of his first-serve points and broke on one of his two chances. Fritz will play Germany's Alexander Zverev, who beat American Ben Shelton 7-6 (8), 7-6 (1) on Saturday, in Sunday's final. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 14, 2025.
