By JEROME PUGMIRE PARIS (AP) — A little bit of self-persuasion went a very long way for Coco Gauff, whose victory at the French Open gave the 21-year-old American a trophy she has long coveted, and a second major title. Gauff defeated top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 on Saturday to add to her U.S. Open title two years ago. Sabalenka had been the more in-form player heading into the final and Gauff felt she needed some extra motivation. So she drew inspiration from Gabby Thomas, who became the women’s Olympic 200-meter champion at last year’s Paris Olympics. Thomas…

Boston Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins made himself a ton of new fans on Saturday. No, he didn’t go seven shutout innings or anything like that, but he did drop an all-time quote one night before his debut against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. “This is one that I’ve had circled for a long time,” Dobbins told Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. “I’ve said it before, that if the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I’d retire.” Oh. Hell. Yeah. Dobbins, 25, has already ingratiated himself nicely to local fans, making nine total…
I’m intimidated by Jake Reiser calling this the most important weekend of the Red Sox season to date. One, I had a last-minute scramble to recap this game, due to the broadcast moving to FOX. They shut me out from even listening on radio! As a cable cutter with no fixed TV provider, I’m not thrilled when the games move around, especially on Crochet Day. But no radio…come on. Two, I’m impaired by a very boring but acute medical situation. If I say anything too weird, let’s blame it on the meds. But then again the Red Sox have been…
Why can’t the Red Sox win any one-run games? That question sums up the Red Sox’s season so far, which has been a massive disappointment largely because the club has come up short in so many close games. Entering Saturday the Red Sox were 6-17 in one-run games, which is the most such losses of any team in baseball, accounting for nearly half of the club’s total 35 losses. Had the club flipped a few of those the other way, the Red Sox could easily be in playoff position right now instead of 10.5 games out of first place in…

Boston Red Sox rookie Carlos Narváez’s emergence caught many by surprise, but there was at least one man who saw it coming. It’s the enemy… “He’s hitting fourth. I don’t know if I saw that coming, but I know how much I love the player and the person,” New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said prior to Friday night’s matchup at Yankee Stadium, as seen on NESN. “I’m not surprised he’s having success, this is a really talented catcher, a really smart guy with an amazing head on his shoulders — an amazing person. “I’m not surprised by his success,…

NEW YORK – It’s been a long time since the Red Sox had an ace left-hander to bring to a southpaw showdown with the Yankees. The Red Sox won 10-7 on Saturday. In classic rivalry fashion, it was more of a messy tug-of-war than a showdown. “I said, ‘Bro, I’ve seen that game plenty of times,’” manager Alex Cora said, relaying a conversation he had with Alex Bregman. “Like yesterday, right? Like 8-1 and here we go again, and we grind and we get it close and second and third, one out in the seventh… Just watching today and listening,…
NEW YORK – “This is one that I’ve had circled for a long time,” Hunter Dobbins told the Herald as he stood in the visitors dugout watching passing showers soak Yankee Stadium. The 25-year-old right-hander is among several Red Sox rookies who arrived in the Bronx eager to make their mark on what many consider the greatest rivalry in sports. Marcelo Mayer, for example, said getting booed by Yankees fans as he rounded the bases after hitting his first career home run on Friday night, was like “music to your ears.” For Dobbins, who’s scheduled to take the mound against…
A busy offseason lies ahead for the Boston Celtics. While navigating their complicated financial situation, the Celtics may have to find replacements for veteran big men Al Horford and Luke Kornet, who are set to become unrestricted free agents. There will be some intriguing frontcourt options in the 2025 NBA Draft, but what if president of basketball operations Brad Stevens has other ideas? A historic 3-point shooting team, the Celtics could use an infusion of explosive and physical play. Enter Adou Thiero, a forward out of Arkansas who thrives in both categories and wreaks havoc on the defensive end. More…
