LONDON (AP) — Two-time Grand Slam semifinalist Ben Shelton’s second-round match at Wimbledon was suspended because of fading light with him a game away from beating Rinky Hijikata on Thursday night.
The 10th-seeded Shelton was about to serve for the match while leading 6-2, 7-5, 5-4 when action was halted at No. 2 Court, which does not have a roof or artificial lights.
Shelton, a 22-year-old American, had just held three match points in the previous game, up 5-3 and love-40 as Hijikata served. But the 87th-ranked Australian grabbed the next five points in a row to extend the contest.

The Boston Celtics have had a hectic early stage of the offseason, trading Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and losing many important pieces in free agency.
It’s possible that the Celtics will have to make a few more moves to even have a somewhat competent roster.
They’ve made a few signings, including Josh Minott.
Minott, a forward on a two-year deal, is expected to find some minutes for the Celtics.
However, according to a recent report from MassLive, signing him puts their roster above the second apron for now.
WASHINGTON — Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood became the third player to announce he will take part in the Home Run Derby.
The derby will be held on July 14, the night before the All-Star Game, at Truist Park in Atlanta. Wood joins Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. and Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who leads the majors with 33 homers, in the contest.
Wood has 22 homers this season. He’s the third Nationals player to take part in the Home Run Derby, joining Juan Soto (2022) and Bryce Harper (2013 and ’18).
Damian Lillard will have an opportunity to choose any team he wants after leaving the Milwaukee Bucks.
According to reports, the Boston Celtics have some interest, and it makes plenty of sense. Whether they view him as a star instantly when he returns from his injury, or someone they can pair with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in certain sets, there’s reason to believe that Lillard would be a great fit.
He isn’t the best defender, which doesn’t exactly fit the Celtics, but outside of that, he’d be a nice addition.
The Department of Homeland Security announced on Thursday that Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, and is being processed for “expedited removal from the United States.”
This news comes less than a week after Chavez was in the ring for a match against boxer and influencer Jake Paul, which Paul won after 10 rounds by unanimous decision.

New York Liberty guard Natasha Cloud is quickly making a name for herself as the most radical left-wing WNBA player, which is truly saying something for a league filled with lefties. And she’s backing far-left New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
In addition, she denounced ICE and referred to President Donald Trump as “Donny” during a profanity-laced rant. As a reporter was asking about Mamdani winning the primary election in the NYC mayoral race, Cloud quickly jumped in.
“That’s Mamdani, that’s my boy!” Cloud said with a huge smile.
