In the world of sports, there's always something exciting happening. Here's a roundup of the latest news from various sports events:
In the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Max Verstappen claimed a convincing victory, marking his first win since the Emilia-Romagna GP in mid-May.

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton raised their game in front of their home crowd at Monza, finishing fourth and sixth respectively.
The French national team had a mixed bag of results in recent events. In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, they secured a 2-0 victory over Ukraine. However, in the Euro tournament, they suffered a disappointing defeat in the round of 16 to Georgia (70-80). On the bright side, the French women's team has been dominating the World Cup. They finished first in Group D and have already secured a spot in the quarter-finals, where they will face Ireland. In their previous match, they defeated South Africa (57-10).
Two key players, Ousmane Dembélé and Desire Doué, are currently injured and will be out for several weeks. In response, Didier Deschamps has called up Kingsley Coman to replace them.
The tennis scene was also abuzz with excitement. Carlos Alcaraz won the US Open in four sets against Jannik Sinner, securing his place as the new world number 1. On the women's side, Aryna Sabalenka successfully defended her title at Flushing Meadows.
Unfortunately, the French team struggled with their three-point shooting in a recent Euro match, resulting in a surprising defeat for Serbia against Finland.
