Tennis fans witnessed a gripping start to the French Open as Coco Gauff rebounded from forgetting her rackets to achieve a convincing first-round victory, highlighting her championship intent. Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev's journey ended sooner than anticipated amid challenging weather conditions. Novak Djokovic, however, kept his eyes on a historic 25th Grand Slam title.

In Major League Baseball, Shohei Ohtani set the tone for the Los Angeles Dodgers with an explosive first-pitch home run, helping the team secure a win over the Cleveland Guardians. Ohtani's performance not only put him ahead in the league's home run standings but also reinforced his growing legend.
