The Golden State Valkyries have become the first WNBA expansion franchise to clinch a playoff berth in their debut season. A commanding 78-70 victory over the Dallas Wings - their sixth straight win - sealed the milestone. Gabby Williams led the way with 23 points and seven rebounds, while Veronica Burton added 16 points and five assists. The Valkyries sit at an impressive 25-9 record and next face the Minnesota Lynx at Chase Center.
The WNBA has acknowledged that its security staff were wrong to ask two fans to cover up shirts referencing transgender athletes during an Indiana Fever-Atlanta Dream game. The league called the intervention a mistake and stressed its commitment to fan expression. The Atlanta Dream distanced themselves from the incident, stating none of their staff were involved.
Iga Swiatek produced a stunning comeback at the Cincinnati Open, recovering from a set down to dismantle Maria Sakkari 4-6, 6-1, 6-1. The Pole has now won eight consecutive matches following her Toronto title last week. Elena Rybakina also progressed, battling through two rain delays to edge past Magdalena Frech 6-4, 7-6(2).
Fourth seed Coco Gauff rallied from a set down to overcome Liudmila Samsonova and book a third-round meeting with compatriot Ann Li. Jessica Pegula, meanwhile, swept past Emma Navarro 7-5, 6-2, extending her perfect career record against her fellow American to four wins from four.
Serena and Venus Williams reunited in doubles at the Cincinnati Open - Serena's first competitive match on American soil in nearly four years. The sisters lost to the pairing of Marta Kostyuk and Peyton Stearns 2-6, 6-1 (10-8) in a dramatic encounter that included a remarkable comeback from 0-6 down in the match tiebreak before a Venus double fault ended their run.
FC Bayern Munich swept aside VfL Wolfsburg 3-0 to claim a third successive German Supercup. Jovana Damnjanović opened the scoring with a header before Klara Bühl struck twice to put the result beyond doubt. Wolfsburg goalkeeper Stina Johannes endured a difficult evening, with two goals directly linked to her errors.
Brighton's Spanish forward Carla Camacho has joined Lazio on a season-long loan after 24 appearances in her debut WSL campaign. Norwegian midfielder Emilie Joramo has signed for Brighton on a free transfer from Hammarby, bringing Europa Cup final experience. Leicester City snapped up Manchester City forward Poppy Pritchard on a three-year permanent deal as their seventh summer signing. Hammarby secured Icelandic top scorer Ída Hermannsdóttir - daughter of former Premier League defender Hermann Hreidarsson - on a deal until 2030. Juventus continued their French recruitment spree, signing Léa Khelifi, Kysha Sylla, and France U16 captain Manuella Korogo.
Alexandra Popp kicks off her Regionalliga campaign with hometown club Borussia Dortmund on Thursday. More than 8,500 fans attended BVB's final pre-season friendly - a 1-0 win over AS Roma - and the club have already sold over 1,500 season tickets as they target promotion to the Frauen-Bundesliga.
Parma midfielder Gina Chmielinski has ruptured her ACL just weeks after joining from RB Leipzig. The 26-year-old, who had never suffered a serious injury in 23 years of playing, picked up the injury during a pre-season friendly against Vicenza Women.
