Cristiano Ronaldo fan shuttler Rounak Chouhan defeats World No 6 at US Open

4 min readUpdated: Jun 26, 2026 01:28 PM IST Rounak Chouhan started playing badminton at 8, watching his sister and inspired by his mother who played the sport in college. But there was one other thing common in her advice to what he followed in his favourite footballer – Cristiano Ronaldo. “She always says give 100 % even on a bad day. With Ronaldo it’s his hardwork that’s inspiring. I used to watch him and jump every time from the back court. It became muscle memory,” Chouhan would tell The Indian Express after the last Junior World’s. On Thursday, Chouhan twice put his formidable attacking game to lethal use to swamp World No 6 Chou Tien Chen with 6 straight points, and won 21-17, 26-24 at the US Open Super 300 in Fullerton, California. Chouhan was on the offensive from the outset against the top seed Taiwanese. But the young Indian from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, showed remarkable guts to take the fight to the 35-year-old known for his impeccable shuttle control. Chouhan literally fought for every …

Alexander Zverev defeats Flavio Cobolli to win maiden Grand Slam title

2 min readUpdated: Jun 7, 2026 11:28 PM IST Alexander Zverev defeated Flavio Cobolli in the French Open final to finally win his maiden Grand Slam title after a grueling 5-set epic. This was the pair’s 5th match against each other. Zverev had won three of his four career meetings with Cobolli, including a straight-sets victory in the third round in Paris a year ago. But they’ve also split two encounters on clay this season: Cobolli won in straight sets in Munich and Zverev won in straight sets in Madrid. But the German won arguably their biggest encounter on with the final score reading 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-1. Zverev was an overwhelming favorite for the title ever since the top-ranked Jannik Sinner struggled in the first week’s heat wave and wasted a two set and 5-1 lead against Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the second round. A day later, 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic was also eliminated. Carlos Alcaraz, the two-time reigning champion, withdrew before the tournament with an injured right wrist. This …

1 min readUpdated: Jun 6, 2026 08:23 PM IST Mirra Andreeva defeated Maja Chwalinska in the French Open final in straight sets to clinch her maiden Grand Slam title on Saturday. The Russian beat her opponent 6-3 6-2 in a match that lasted almost one and a half hours. At 19, eighth-ranked Andreeva became the youngest player to win the women’s singles title since Monica Seles was 18 when she landed her third straight French Open in 1992. Andreeva arrived at Saturday’s showpiece as the overwhelming favourite after bulldozing her way through the draw, dropping only 12 games in her last three matches and looking every inch a future Grand Slam champion. Andreeva, who reached the Roland Garros semi-finals as a 17-year-old two years ago, believes her growing maturity has helped ​transform ​her from a precocious talent into a genuine title contender. The Russian’s relentless baseline power and ability to dictate rallies have overwhelmed opponents throughout the tournament and she has looked increasingly comfortable with the expectations that accompany her rapid rise.

OpenAI defeats Musk in lawsuit over nonprofit mission, removing IPO obstacle | Technology News

OpenAI defeats Musk in lawsuit over nonprofit mission, removing IPO obstacle | Technology News

A US jury on Monday ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI, finding the artificial intelligence company not liable to the world’s richest person for having allegedly strayed from its original mission to benefit humanity. In a unanimous verdict, the jury in Oakland, California, federal court said Musk brought his case too late. The jury deliberated less than two hours. The three-week trial had widely been seen as a critical moment for the future of OpenAI and artificial intelligence generally, both in how it should be used and who should benefit from it. The verdict simplifies the path for OpenAI to proceed with a possible initial public offering that could value the business at $1 trillion. But OpenAI’s public face, Chief Executive ⁠Sam Altman, must ​also address the challenges to his reputation from some extremely personal testimony during the trial, including multiple witnesses describing him as a liar. Musk said he will appeal, repeating his claim that Altman and OpenAI President Greg Brockman viewed OpenAI as a means to great wealth. “Altman & …
