SOC--ENGLISH ROUNDUP

West Ham relegated from Premier League and Spurs stay up as Guardiola, Salah make emotional exits

SUMMARY: West Ham has been relegated and Tottenham has survived on an emotional final day of the Premier League season when Pep Guardiola and Mohamed Salah said farewell after record-breaking spells in English soccer. West Ham beat Leeds 3-0 but that wasn’t enough to climb out of the relegation zone. That’s because fourth-to-last Tottenham won 1-0 at home to Everton to stay two points ahead of West Ham. Guardiola’s decade-long tenure at Manchester City ended with a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa. Salah was given a standing ovation and kissed the Anfield turf when he was substituted in his 442nd and last game for Liverpool, a 1-1 draw with Brentford.

Tearful Kostyuk reaches French Open 2nd round and speaks of missile attack back home in Ukraine

SUMMARY: Marta Kostyuk’s first-round win at the French Open becomes one of her toughest matches after she finds out beforehand that a missile almost hit her parents’ home in Ukraine. Kostyuk fought back tears after beating Oksana Selekhmeteva 6-2, 6-3 on Court Simonne-Mathieu on the opening day of the clay-court Grand Slam at Roland Garros in western Paris with temperatures soaring to 31 Celsius (88 Fahrenheit). 2024 runner-up Alexander Zverev also advanced. The night match features three-time champion Novak Djokovic against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.

CAR--INDIANAPOLIS 500

Alex Palou seeks new milestone as he attempts to continue dominance with 2nd straight Indy 500 win

SUMMARY: Winning one Indianapolis 500 was a career-changing moment for Alex Palou. Winning a second would put Palou in elite company. The first Spaniard to win IndyCar’s biggest race returns to Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 2.5-mile oval as he tries to add another milestone to his resume by becoming the seventh driver in race history to win back-to-back 500s. Palou has dominated the series lately, winning seemingly anything and everything in sight — three straight series titles, 11 of the last 23 races and now the second Indy pole of his career. But he’ll have plenty of drivers chasing him.

TEN--FRENCH OPEN-BATHROOM BREAK

Gotta go: Home player Arthur Gea takes emergency bathroom break during French Open debut

SUMMARY: Home player Arthur Gea ran off the court for an emergency bathroom break early in the first set of his French Open debut. Gea told the chair umpire before hastily running off Court Suzanne-Lenglen that “I need to go to the bathroom. I can’t move anymore. I’m going to (go) on the court.” The 135th-ranked Gea was trailing 13th-seeded Karen Khachanov 4-2 when he made his move. Khachanov won 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-0. Usually bathroom breaks are only permitted between sets. The 21-year-old Gea received a wild card invitation from Roland Garros organizers to participate in the main draw.
