AIGood morning - we've gathered the most important sports news and overnight updates to help you start the day informed. Have a great day ahead.
Kayla McBride delivered a historic performance on Sunday, draining a WNBA-record 10 three-pointers and scoring 43 points as the Minnesota Lynx cruised past the Dallas Wings 103-90. McBride shot 16-of-21 from the field and 10-of-14 from beyond the arc, eclipsing the previous single-game record of nine threes. The win clinched a playoff berth for Minnesota, who have now won 12 of their last 13 games. Olivia Miles added 20 points and 13 assists. Dallas were dealt a further blow when All-Star Jessica Shepard departed with an ankle injury.
The Washington Mystics dismantled the Phoenix Mercury 95-75 to make it seven consecutive victories. Shakira Austin posted 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Sonia Citron matched her scoring tally on a ruthlessly efficient 7-of-9 shooting night. Phoenix's Kahleah Copper led the Mercury with 15 points but received little support.
Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon benched A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, and Jackie Young for Sunday's clash with the New York Liberty, citing player welfare after a gruelling back-to-back travel schedule from Minneapolis.
DiJonai Carrington was ejected after a Flagrant 2 foul on Sophie Cunningham during the Indiana Fever game. The incident ignited controversy when Carrington made social media comments about "white privilege," and Fever coach Stephanie White's defence of the opposing player drew criticism from fans and Indiana's lieutenant governor Micah Beckwith, who publicly called for her dismissal.
Coco Gauff swept past Alina Korneeva 6-3, 6-1 to reach the Canadian Open quarter-finals, dropping just four games across her first three rounds. She became only the second player since 1990 to reach 25 or more WTA 1000 quarter-finals before turning 23, joining Martina Hingis. Elena Rybakina fought back from a set down and a 0-3 deficit in the decider to edge Liudmila Samsonova 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Naomi Osaka beat home favourite Leylah Fernandez 6-4, 6-4 to set up a quarter-final with Rybakina.
Belinda Bencic ended Alex Eala's impressive summer streak with a 6-4, 6-0 victory in the round of 16. The Filipino 21-year-old, who stunned Iga Swiatek at Wimbledon and won her maiden WTA title in Washington, now turns her attention to the Cincinnati Open and the US Open amid growing fitness concerns over an ankle issue.
Charley Hull's double-bogey on the 17th hole at the PIF London Championship handed Anna Huang a dramatic victory. Hull had the title within reach after birdies on 15 and 16 before her late collapse. Lottie Woad had also been in contention, while Yealimi Noh led heading into the final round.
Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas has left Barcelona to join London City Lionesses in the Barclays Women's Super League. The Spanish midfield star joins compatriots Jana Fernández and Mapi León at the club.
Natalie Jacobs scored in the 95th minute to seal a breathless 4-3 win for North Carolina Courage over Washington Spirit, who had fought back from 3-0 down to level. NJ/NY Gotham FC stretched their unbeaten run to seven games with a 1-0 win over San Diego Wave, while Janine Sonis curled in a stoppage-time free kick to give Denver Summit a 2-1 victory over Utah Royals.
French defender Julie Thibaud has completed a permanent move to Olympique de Marseille after Leicester City's relegation to WSL2. Durham also signed Australian defender Madison McComasky as their fifth summer recruit.
