Toto Wolff surprised by Kimi Antonelli's 2026 progress: He’s "No longer a deer in the headlights"

When Toto Wolff held his annual media session with the Dutch press at Zandvoort a year ago, Kimi Antonelli was in the middle of the struggles that characterised the European part of his season.

Alex Eala has become the Philippines’ biggest sporting star since Manny Pacquiao. Now the 21-year-old’s traveling army of fans have descended on Flushing Meadows

The crowd began to swell in Louis Armstrong Stadium a half hour before 2pm. A fair number of fans were probably there to see Taylor Fritz and Terence Atmane practice, but it was the session after theirs that was the headline attraction on the Friday of the US Open’s fan week. The blue, red and white throughout the stands, spotted on bucket hats and posters and basketball jerseys and flags, signaled who these people were here to see.

This has been the year of Alex Eala, the 21-year-old sensation who has taken the tennis world by storm. At No 18, she is the Philippines’ highest-ranked player ever, its biggest sports celebrity since Manny Pacquiao. The country’s president hosted a reception to celebrate her success, and called for a national celebration after she won her first tour-level title this month at the DC Open. Forbes estimates Eala’s off-court earnings for the past year to exceed $5m, plus $1.7m in prize money, and her agent predicts she will be the world’s second-highest-paid female athlete by 2027.

John Lynch: Aaron Donald makes the Rams better, but we're pretty good, too

If Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is ready to go following a two-year retirement, he'll play against the 49ers in Australia next week. 49ers General Manager John Lynch says that just makes the rivalry more intense.

Lynch has long subscribed to a philosophy he attributes to legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden: "Don't lose sleep over what other teams are doing; let them lose sleep over what you're doing." Lynch was asked if he still feels that way when it comes to Donald returning to the Rams.

"The guy's different," Lynch said of Donald. "He's an exceptional player. One of the greats. I do subscribe to that. I think we're pretty good, too. They got better, certainly, with him deciding to come out of retirement."

Lynch said he believes Donald will arrive in top shape.

"There's time away, but I know that guy trains like a madman," Lynch said. "I ran into him in a hotel somewhere a while back and we had some fun chatter back and forth. Never thought he'd do it, but he's doing it, so we better get ready for it."

The Rams have not said whether Donald will be active for Week One, but the 49ers are preparing as if they're going to face the three-time defensive player of the year in his first game in two and a half years.
