Emptying the notebook and notes app from Wimbledon 2023….
1. What is sweeter than a sporting event lives up to its hype?… There are tennis matches. There are classics. Then, there is whatever today was. In a spellbinding five-act theatrical of a men’s final, Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic 1-6, 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4. Barely five weeks ago in Paris against Djokovic, Alcaraz was undone by “tension.” Today he took the pressure and—with all sorts of stress, with supremacy on the line, with his king watching—he won in five sinuous sets. It’s the second major of his career.

Rory McIlroy birdied the last two holes on Sunday to win by 1 stroke at the Scottish Open.

The Suns have agreed to a deal with Bol Bol, traded Cameron Payne to San Antonio and acquired second-round picks from the Spurs and Magic, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Tight end Evan Engram and the Jacksonville Jaguars reached agreement on a three-year contract extension, agent Mike McCartney announced Sunday.

Harry Maguire said he has been removed as Manchester United captain by manager Erik ten Hag.

Carlos Alcaraz settled down after putting up little fight in the first set to emerge victorious in a marathon final against four-time reigning champion Novak Djokovic.

Although the Angels haven’t revealed whether they will trade impending free agent Shohei Ohtani, observers can’t help but compose potential deals for the two-way superstar. To wit, the Yankees are viewed as perhaps the team most motivated to acquire Ohtani prior to the July 31 trade deadline. 
However, Fox Sports MLB analyst Eric Karros offered an intriguing take regarding Ohtani’s future.
“Who’s he going to be playing for?” Karros said on Saturday. “He’s going to be playing for the Giants. … That makes all the sense in the world.

Four months after the Jaguars placed the franchise tag on tight end Evan Engram, the 28-year-old has finally secured a long-term deal.
Engram and the team agreed to a three-year, $41.25 million contract on Sunday, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $24 million in guaranteed money and comes after he was initially set to play the 2023 season under the aforementioned franchise tag, which guaranteed him $11.345 million.
After spending his first five professional seasons with the Giants, Engram signed a one-year deal with the Jaguars as a free agent in March 2022.

Still yet without contract extensions, star running backs Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs are prepared to sit out portions of training camp until a deal is met, according to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports. The deadline to sign the franchise tag is Monday at 4 p.m. ET. 
As of Thursday morning, the specific reason for Jacobs’s contract holdup with the Raiders is unknown. However, Barkley and the Giants are unable to reach a deal because New York is making offers where guaranteed money falls short of the minimum he would make under the next two franchise tags, per Yahoo Sports.
