DEFE N DI N G CHAMPIO N Alex de Minaur powered into the Washington Open quarterfinals with a clinical 6-2, 6-3 vic tory over fellow Australian Cruz Hewitt. Men’s second seed Ben Shelton also advanced, as did women’s top seed Jessica Pegula and No. 2 Elina Svitolina. Top-seeded De Minaur was always likely to prove too much for 17-year-old qualifier Hewitt – son of Aussie great Lleyton Hewitt – who had only captured his first ATP vic tory in Tuesday’s first round. The first set threatened to become a demolition as De Minaur raced to a 5-0 lead. But Hewitt found his feet, breaking back in the sixth game and holding serve before succumbing 6-2. Cheered on by a crowd that included his famous father, Hewitt started the second set brightly. But he was broken again on his second service game and could not reel in De Minaur, who warmly embraced

Shelton dominated the second. But the third set was a tense affair and after seizing a break for a 5-4 lead Shelton had to fend off a break point before polishing off the match with a sharply angled serve that Humbert smacked into the net. “For me, it was all about heart tonight,” Shelton said after lining up a meeting with Chile’s Alejandro Tabile, a 6 3, 7-6 (8-6) winner over France’s Terence Atmane. Pegula also had to rally from a set down, saying she started her match against Poland’s Frech “just a little off” after a first-round bye. “I wasn’t quite attacking the ball, and I felt like once I did that, then everything else kind of started to click together,” said Pegula, who finished with 42 winners and won 12 of the last 15 games to triumph 3-6, 6-3, 6-0. Pegula next plays fifth-seeded Anna Kalinskaya, who saved two match points to beat Indonesia’s Janice Tjen 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (9-7). – AFP

the youngster at the net after taking the match. It was the first head-to-head ATP Tour match between the two, who have known each other for years. “It was definitely weird,” said De Minaur. “I knew I was going to play him on the tour someday, but I didn’t actually expect it to be this week. “It was an amazing feeling. Even all the lead up, seeing all the incredible pictures that we have together and how we’ve both grown up. “I’m glad I managed to get through, but I’m sure we’re going to have many battles in the years to come.” De Minaur next faces American Brandon Nakashima, who upset Czech seventh seed Jakub Mensik 7-6 (7-5), 3-6, 6-4. US home hope Shelton advanced with a gritty 6-7 (3-7), 6-3, 6-4, victory over France’s Ugo Humbert. After handing Humbert the first set with a double fault on set point,

Malnati blast into lead at Rocket Classic PETE R MAL N ATI flirted with a rare sub-60 round before settling for a brilliant 9-under 61 to grab a two-shot lead after the opening round of the Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club in Michigan yes terday. The 39-year-old American, seeking his third PGA Tour title, raced out in seven-under 28 and added birdies at the 11th and 13th holes to reach nine-under with five holes to play. However, five consecutive pars, including a missed birdie putt from 5½ feet at the 16th, denied him a chance at an even lower score. His nine-under 61 matched the tournament scoring record set by Jake Knapp during the second round last year and marked the first opening-round 61 on the PGA Tour this season. “It’s cool when you’re there (in the zone), you don’t have to think tons, which is really nice,” Malnati said. “For me today, it was about staying present and focusing on the things that helped me get there.” Rickie Fowler and Ryan Gerard shared second place on seven under 63, while Patrick Cantlay and Patrick Fishburn were tied fourth on six-under 64. Malnati arrived in Detroit 171st in the FedEx Cup standings after making just seven cuts in 17 starts this season. A victory this week would vault him to a projected 68th, inside the top 70 who qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs. “I’ve stayed consistent with my process and I’m really proud of the work that I put in,” Malnati said. – Reuters

form with six birdies and one bogey to card a five-under 66. “Today felt so tough because there was a little rain before the round, so I was hop ing it would stay dry,” Ryu said. “The weather was pretty good, but the wind was still difficult. My golf is pretty good.” Kuwaki, making only her seventh major appearance, also returned a five-under 66, finishing strongly with birdies on the 16th and 18th holes. “I managed my game well despite the strong winds and holed some key putts,” Kuwaki said. “My shots were very consis tent and making a long putt early in the round really helped me find a good rhythm.” Boutier’s highlight came with an eagle on the par-five sixth after reaching the green in two, helping her sign for a four under 67. “I hit a solid six-iron for my second shot and had about a 20-foot putt,” Boutier said. “I honestly thought it was going to lip out, so it was a nice surprise when it dropped.” England’s Charley Hull and rising star Lottie Woad were among nine players tied for eighth on two-under 69. World No. 1 Nelly Korda, who won the Chevron Championship and US Women’s Open earlier this year, endured a frustrat ing start and settled for a two-over 73 to sit in a tie for 53rd. Korda bogeyed the second and third holes before recovering with birdies on the sixth and eighth, but further dropped shots at the 11th and 15th left her well off the early pace.

Women’s Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes in Lytham St Annes, England, yesterday. The world No. 2, still chasing her maiden major title, carded seven birdies in a flawless display to finish two shots clear of South Korea’s Haeran Ryu and Japan’s Shiho Kuwaki, who both opened with five-under 66s. American Yealimi Noh and France’s Celine Boutier shared fourth place on four under 67, while Thailand’s Chanettee Wannasaen and Japan’s Chizzy Iwai were among those tied for sixth on three-under 68. Thitikul, whose best major finish was runner-up at the 2025 Evian Championship, said major championships demanded a different level of mental and physical resilience. “The majors really test our games men tally and physically,” Thitikul said. “When you play well in a major, even if it’s a top five or top-10 finish, it gives you confidence going into the regular tournaments. It’s about beating the course when you’re in a major.” The 23-year-old surged ahead with four birdies in a five-hole stretch on the front nine before adding three more after the turn. “I do enjoy it when golf is good,” she said. “I hit some really good shots and got a few lucky bounces over the pot bunkers. When it’s your day, it’s your day. I also putted really well.” Ryu, who has already captured two majors this season at the Women’s PGA Championship and the Evian Championship, continued her impressive

they’ve sold up, they’ve moved to Thailand, and they fancy having a fight. “When people are telling you (Fury) is about to be involved in the biggest fight in the history of boxing, I’m left scratching my head. “Up until last Saturday night, I thought: ‘If he fights Joshua… Fury just looks so old now, his career’s catching up with him, the lifestyle is catching up with him, Joshua’s probably gonna weather the distance bet ter.’ “But (Joshua) walks into Jeddah, fights someone that none of us have really heard

between Fury and Joshua, a pair of former world heavyweight champions. But after Joshua’s concerning perform ance, and amid fresh talks about whether a fight with Fury will take place in the UK or US, hype for the“mega-fight”is not where it should be, said Groves. “Fury is a clever man in terms of the opponents he’ll pick, to make sure that he wins, but him against Wach looked like two grandads having a punch-up in a Thailand sort of dojo ,” the former super-middle weight champion said. “(It was as if) they’ve had a midlife crisis,

GEO R GE G R OVES has said Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury’s wins at the week end combined to make the “worst adver tisement in history” for their planned fight. Last Saturday, Joshua survived two first round knockdowns to stop relative unknown Kristian Prenga in round two, one day after Fury beat a 46-year-old Mariusz Wach in seven rounds – with the latter fight not broadcast anywhere. Those bouts were seen as the final hur dles for a long-awaited, all-British clash
