Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka celebrates winning her third-round match against Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko at Wimbledon on Friday. (Reuters) If this was meant to be a tough test of Aryna Sabalenka’s grasscourt pedigree at this year’s Wimbledon, the Belarusian passed it with flying colours as she handed Jelena Ostapenko a 6-4 6-4 reality check to reach the fourth round on Friday.When on target, the Latvian’s bludgeoning shots can knock out anyone, as Sabalenka was only too aware of after losing their most recent encounter in last year’s Stuttgart final.Add in the fact that Ostapenko owns two grasscourt titles to Sabalenka’s zero, the world number one might have thought she was in for a sticky afternoon on a glorious sunny day on Centre Court.The exchanges were fast and furious, the rallies were almost non-existent and the supercharged speed at which Sabalenka crossed the finishing line would have even impressed Royal Box guest Usain Bolt.A break in the fifth game handed Sabalenka the advantage which she never relinquished as she sealed the opening set with a 111 mph ace.Ostapenko, the 2017 Roland Garros champion, saved one match point on her serve at 4-5 down in the second set but there was no reprieve one game later as the Belarusian top seed clenched her fist in victory after watching Ostapenko’s service return float long.Sabalenka had given herself an 8-out-of-10 rating for her first-round performance and 9-out-of-10 for the follow up. The authoritative way she dispatched danger opponent Ostapenko on Friday meant she was now heading for perfection. …
Al-Nasr welcomes new coach Ange Postecoglou. Ange Postecoglou has been appointed the new head coach of Al-Nassr on a two-year deal, the Saudi Pro League champions said on Friday,as the Australian attempts to revive his career after two bruising stints in the Premier League.”A new chapter. Mr Ange Postecoglou appointed as head coach of the Al-Nassr first team. The contract spans two seasons,” the club said in a statement.”We wish him and his staff every success in their journey.”Postecoglou previously managed Tottenham Hotspur, whom he guided to Europa League glory in 2025, but he was sacked two weeks later after they finished 17th in the Premier League standings.A miserable reign at Nottingham Forest in the 2025-26 season came to a swift and brutal end 39 days after his appointment when he went winless in his opening eight games in charge, which included six defeats.The 60-year-old had been linked with the Scotland job after Steve Clarke stepped down following their World cup exit, as well as Kazakhstan but media reports said his wage demands were too high for the central Asian side.He takes over an Al-Nassr side led by Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who guided the club to the Saudi Pro League title on the final day of the season in May.A manager known for winning trophies in his second season, Postecoglou guided Celtic to two Scottish Premiership titles while he has also won league titles with Brisbane Roar and Yokohama F Marinos.

A woman looks on as ICE agents block an intersection Tuesday in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The US Tuesday said it would end a special protected status for Somalis, telling them they must leave the country by mid-March under an escalating crackdown on the community. There is a large Somali community in Minnesota, the midwestern US state at the forefront of raids and searches by immigration officers, one of whom shot and killed a local woman last week, sparking protests. In recent weeks Washington has lashed out at Somali immigrants, alleging large-scale public benefit fraud in Minnesota’s Somali community, the largest in the country with around 80,000 members. The department of homeland security said on X it was “ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalians in the US”. “Our message is clear. Go back to your own country, or we’ll send you back ourselves,” it said. “Temporary Protected Status” (TPS) shields certain foreigners from deportation to disaster zones and allows them the right to work. In November 2025, US President Donald Trump wrote on social media: “I am, as president of the US, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Programme) for Somalis in Minnesota.” The Republican president Tuesday took to his Truth Social channel to attack Democrats who lead Minneapolis, its twin city of St. Paul, and Minnesota. “Minnesota Democrats love the unrest that anarchists and professional agitators are causing because it gets the spotlight off of the $19bn that was stolen by really bad and deranged people,” Trump wrote. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) meanwhile has kept up its large-scale migrant sweeps across Minnesota, including the city of Detroit Lakes. The Minneapolis police department said its overtime bill between January 8 and January 11 was $2mn. That period marked the height of anti-ICE protests sparked by the dramatic killing, which was filmed and widely shared online. Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot dead in her car by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis last Wednesday. Students have protested against the situation in Minnesota, including in the Minneapolis suburb of Maple Grove, local media reported. The Trump administration in recent months has latched onto news of a large-scale public benefit fraud scandal to carry out immigration raids and harsher policies targeting Minnesota’s Somali community.
