Meanwhile, No. 1 Iga Swiatek of Poland emerged victorious over No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus in the final.

Over at the Kentucky Derby, Mystik Dan won by a nose in a photo-finish with jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. aboard. The excitement continued at Rome’s Olympic Stadium, where Roma’s Rick Karsdorp faced off against Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong during the Europa League semifinal soccer match.
