A state of emergency is unfolding across Himachal Pradesh as relentless rains trigger a catastrophic chain reaction of floods, building collapses, and landslides, pushing the official death toll to at least 16, since the monsoon began on June 20. The state is virtually paralysed due to wreckage of infrastructure: 259 roads are now unnavigable, cutting off critical access to the hard-hit districts of Mandi and Sirmaur. Around 35 houses have been fully or partially damaged, leaving several families homeless, according to the State's Emergency Operation Centre. With the power grid weakened by 614 disrupted transformers and clean water inaccessible for thousands due to 130 failed schemes, the state is drowning in a crisis with damages already exceeding ₹75 crore and no end to the deluge in sight.
Two-time defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz faced a significant challenge in his return to Centre Court on Monday. He managed to defeat Fabio Fognini in a tough five-set match while contending with the intense London heat. This year's opening day set a record high for The Championships, with temperatures reaching 31.4 degrees Celsius. Alcaraz had to work extremely hard against the free-hitting Fognini, who was competing at Wimbledon for the last time. In a thrilling and unpredictable match that showcased exceptional shot-making, Alcaraz demonstrated his characteristic determination and ultimately triumphed with a score of 7-5, 6-7(5), 7-5, 2-6, 6-1, after four hours and 37 minutes of play. With this victory, the Spaniard improved his outstanding fifth-set record to 14-1, having recently defeated Jannik Sinner in the Roland Garros final.

Medvedev, who reached the semi-finals in the previous year, lost the match with scores of 7-6 (2), 3-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2 in just over three hours. At the end of the match, he angrily hit his rackets against his chair and bag while Bonzi celebrated the biggest victory of his career. This defeat marks Medvedev's second consecutive first-round exit in a Grand Slam, following his loss at Roland Garros to Cameron Norrie.

Aryna Sabalenka, the current World No. 1 and a favourite to win Wimbledon 2025, advanced to the second round on Monday with a commanding 6-1, 7-5 victory over qualifier Carson Branstine. This year's Wimbledon championships kicked off on the hottest opening day on record, with temperatures reaching 87 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the Met Office. Despite the heat, Sabalenka remained composed, finishing the match in just 73 minutes on No. 1 Court. She will face the winner of the match between Lulu Sun and Marie Bouzkova on Wednesday. Although Sabalenka has participated in only two of the last four Wimbledon tournaments, she reached the semifinals in both appearances. Experts have named her the player to beat this year, ahead of notable competitors such as Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina, and Coco Gauff.

She welcomed her daughter, Alexandra, in 2023, and during her return to the tour, she sustained a serious ACL injury in 2024.
Marcos Leonardo scored his second goal on a rebound in the 112th minute, and Al Hilal stunned Manchester City 4-3 on Monday night, eliminating the Premier League power from the Club World Cup in the round of 16. In a back-and-forth thriller at Camping World Stadium, the Saudi Arabian club took the lead three times, including twice in extra time. Kalidou Koulibaly put Al Hilal ahead 3-2 in the 94th minute, but Phil Foden — who entered as a substitute four minutes earlier — equalized in the 104th. Leonardo finally put Man City away. Goalkeeper Ederson saved a header by Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from inside the penalty box and the ball deflected to Leonardo, who redirected it with his right foot as he fell to the pitch near the left post. Al Hilal moves on to face Fluminense of Brazil, which took down another European power, Inter Milan, earlier Tuesday.
Fluminense secured their spot in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup by defeating UEFA Champions League finalists Inter Milan 2-0 in their round of 16 match at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Despite failing to register a shot on target in their goalless final group match, Fluminense's high pressing allowed them to take the initiative early on. They took the lead within three minutes when Jhon Arias' cross from the right took a significant deflection, setting up Germán Cano to nod the ball home. When Inter Milan finally pushed forward in the 11th minute, Federico Dimarco was denied by a strong save from Fábio after receiving a precise cutback from Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
