Wimbledon Q&A: Ball Selection & Women's Format
At Wimbledon, players often select multiple balls before serving to find the optimal ones for their first and second serves. New balls are introduced every nine games, and their wear affects how they fly through the air. Offensive players typically prefer newer balls for first serves to attack, while defensive players might favor worn balls. amunra-online.pl
The tennis reporter also expressed interest in implementing best-of-five sets in women's events, suggesting it could begin from the second week as a trial. This format would likely benefit physically impressive players like Coco Gauff, while potentially challenging others. The women's final actually used best-of-five sets between 1984 and 1998, with a memorable match won by 16-year-old Monica Seles in 1990.
Marcellus Wiley faces litigation over $500,000 unpaid loan
Marcellus Wiley, as they say, is having a moment. And not the good kind.
The former NFL defensive end and ESPN/Fox personality was arrested over the weekend for domestic battery. On Monday, his wife made very strong allegations against him in divorce paperwork and in a request for a restraining order.
Wiley has posted on social media clear, loud denials as to the alleged battery, and as to the claims made by his wife in court filings.
Wiley has yet to deny this one: TMZ reported on Wednesday that Preferred Bank sued Wiley in December 2025 for failing to satisfy a $500,000 loan.
Per TMZ, Wiley and his company, Dat Dude Entertainment, borrowed the money in May 2023, promising to pay it back after one year. The bank, per TMZ, claims it didn't receive the money or the associated interest. Wiley allegedly received multiple extensions until December 2025, when the bank then filed suit.
As of this posting, Wiley has not addressed the TMZ report.
Wiley spent 10 years in the NFL, playing for the Chargers, Bills, Cowboys, and Jaguars.

Five days after T20 World Cup final misery tickets are selling fast for India clash in a rare fixture at the home of cricket
England’s historic first Test at Lord’s, which begins on Friday against India, will be the swansong for at least one great of the game, after Tammy Beaumont announced her retirement from international cricket on Wednesday.
It is possible that more retirements may follow at the end of the summer; after England lost last Sunday’s T20 World Cup final to Australia, head coach Charlotte Edwards said that “a lot of younger players are now staking a claim” and that she planned to review the situation after The Hundred. Beaumont, though, has chosen to get ahead of the pack and go into the forthcoming Test with the certain knowledge that it will be the last time she pulls on an England shirt.
