Here's your daily update with the most important sports news, stories and developments from the past 24 hours.
Elena Rybakina has risen to the top of the WTA rankings for the first time in her career after fighting back to beat Zheng Qinwen 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the US Open quarterfinals. The 27-year-old Kazakh star, who won the Australian Open earlier this season for her second Grand Slam title, boasts 47 match wins in 2026 - second only to Jessica Pegula's 50. Rybakina will face either Coco Gauff or Mirra Andreeva in the semifinals, while dethroned No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka meets Pegula on the other side of the draw.
Zheng's run to the quarterfinals was itself one of the tournament's great stories. The 23-year-old Chinese player, who entered through qualifying after surgery for a chronic elbow injury, twice came back from 5-0 down - first against Madison Keys and then against Iga Świątek - before falling to Rybakina.
Caitlin Clark is averaging 6.3 assists per game at the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, ranking third among all players behind Turkey's Sevgi Uzun and Belgium's Julie Allemand. Despite coming off the bench - a departure from her role as Indiana's primary offensive engine in the WNBA - Clark has posted the best plus-minus on the team at +19.3 through three group-stage matches. Team USA face Hungary in Wednesday's quarterfinal as they chase a fifth consecutive gold medal under coach Kara Lawson.
VfL Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt both suffered painful eliminations from the UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying rounds. Wolfsburg squandered a 2-0 first-leg lead, losing 1-3 to Inter Milan before falling 4-5 on penalties. Frankfurt were hammered 1-5 by Paris Saint-Germain, with a red card for Hayley Raso compounding their misery. German women's club football will have no representation in the group stages this season.
Washington Spirit claimed their first-ever victory at Providence Park, overturning a deficit to beat Portland Thorns 2-1 in the NWSL. Tara Rudd equalised from the penalty spot before Mélissa Bethi scored her maiden NWSL goal to seal the result. Elsewhere, Ashley Sanchez of North Carolina Courage smashed a hat-trick in a 6-0 demolition of Chicago Stars, taking her season tally to 18 goals - a new single-season record for an American player in the league, surpassing the 15-goal mark shared by Alex Morgan and Crystal Dunn.
Melchie Dumornay scored a hat-trick as OL Lyonnes demolished Toulouse 7-1 in the Arkema Première Ligue. Jule Brand provided two assists, while substitute Julie Swierot also found the net. In a separate fixture, Montpellier hammered Toulouse 5-1, with all five goals arriving before half-time. PSG also strengthened their squad by signing Serbian defender Andjela Krstic from FC Bâle.
The Solheim Cup gets under way at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands - the first time the event has been held in the country. Team USA's Angel Yin has shaken off a stomach illness to confirm her place in the lineup, while former world No. 1 Lilia Vu has been named as the American alternate despite missing the cut in her last ten LPGA starts. Team Europe will lean on home support, with vice-captain Anne van Dam hoping the event inspires Dutch youngsters to take up the sport. The USA have not won the Solheim Cup on foreign soil since 2015.
Ida Marin Hermannsdottir scored a hat-trick as Hammarby crushed Gamla Upsala SK 5-0 to secure their place in the Swedish Cup group stage. Anna Linder and Mari Nyhagen also found the net. Hammarby sit second in the Damallsvenskan, two points behind leaders Häcken.
Aitana Bonmatí's three-year hold on the Ballon d'Or Féminin looks certain to end after a fractured fibula kept her sidelined for half the season. The race is wide open, with candidates including Alexia Putellas (24 goals, 13 assists for Barcelona), Manchester City's Khadija Shaw (39 goals), Bayern Munich's Pernille Harder (34 goals), and Barcelona's Ewa Pajor (33 goals).
Nineteen-year-old Lisa Baum scored the winner on her Arsenal debut against Brighton in the Barclays Women's Super League. The German forward, a product of Hamburg's youth academy, has been highlighted as one of the signings of the season after an impressive start to life in English football.
