Weekend Sports

This has been a good weekend for sports fans.

Wimbledon concluded today with the men's final. As expected, Novak Djokovic beat unlikely finalist Kevin Anderson 6-2, 6-2, 7-6. Yesterday Angelique Kerber beat Serena Williams 6-3, 6-3. Serena seemed a little sluggish and made a slew of unforced errors. Iga Swiatek of Poland won the girls' final. Cori Gauff, who turned 14 just last March and won the French Open girls' championships last May, made it to the quarter finals. In the boys' final, Chun Hsin Tseng, who also won the French Open boys' championship this year, prevailed over Jack Draper of the UK.

And then there was the World Cup. France beat Croatia 4-2. Emmanuel Macron, who was in Moscow watching the game, was ecstatic! Paige's friend, who is currently in France, said that she could hear people screaming every time the French scored. Yesterday was Bastille Day, so this has been a weekend of celebration for France.
