Fritz and Mpetshi Perricard’s match, by contrast, was at the mercy of the most sacred and strange tradition of them all: the 11 p.m. curfew imposed on a sporting event beamed across the globe. Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam with an early bedtime, and the lights go out on time, every time, with no exceptions — almost.

Cal Raleigh hit his 38th homer with a grand slam vs. the Tigers, joining elite company and closing in on Barry Bonds' record.

Angel Martínez hit a grand slam off closer Josh Hader with two outs in the 10th inning to lift the Cleveland Guardians to a 10-6 win over the Houston Astros.

THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — There are only two players who have been able to knock Ben Shelton out of Grand Slams this year: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. That’s good news and bad for Shelton, who exited Wimbledon in the quarterfinals Wednesday afternoon as Sinner sent him home, 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4.

Jannik Sinner defeated a hampered Novak Djokovic in three sets to advance to the Wimbledon final and set up a highly anticipated match against Carlos Alcaraz.
