JavaScript must be enabled in your browser to play this video.

During her first-round match at Wimbledon, world number 33 Yulia Putintseva asked for a spectator to be ejected because she had security concerns.

The 30-year-old immediately complained to the umpire about a spectator she described as “crazy” and “dangerous” during her match against Amanda Anisimova on court 15.

The issue has been resolved, according to a club spokesperson.

Putintseva, from Kazakhstan, first expressed her concerns during a change of ends when the game was tied 3-3.

I won’t play until he leaves, so can you take him out? These people are crazy, she said, and dangerous.

The person was later identified as wearing green and pointed her way into a section of the crowd.

Three members of the security staff were speaking with the chair umpire as they entered the court.

Putintseva was allegedly told that the play would resume, but she was later told that she would wait until security had handled it.

She urged people to take him out because they might have knives.

Later in the match, Putintseva became upset, going down 6-0, 6-0, in 45 minutes.

After that, she avoided speaking with the media.

The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) spokesman told BBC Sport: “The chair umpire informed security and the issue was resolved.

Meanwhile, Anisimova claimed to believe the audience was speaking to him “when Putintseva] was about to serve” and that “we were protected” when she told the BBC.

Jacqueline Jossa has returned to her TikTok account, where she hit out at fashion company In The Style following reports she was considering legal action against them. The TV star, 32, gave an update on her ongoing issue with the brand that she used to work with.

She revealed her most recent purchases on her social media updates, which were uncommon. The mother-of-two revealed her glowing tan while wearing a buttery yellow halter neck top.

Jacqueline, who has rekindled her relationship with on-off husband Dan Osborne, added a pair of light blue jeans that hugged her figure and a white handbag. Filming the clip in her lavish kitchen, she went barefoot and admitted her nerves about creating the content.

She admitted, “I feel shy. I want to resume making videos, such as “get ready with me.” I want to visit Zara, River Island, New Look, Primark, and other high-street brands, pick a few pieces, and show you what I get. because I really, really miss making videos.

After that, Jacqueline made the decision to criticize In The Style by accusing them of not paying her the money she claims she owes for working with them. She told her fans, “I used to do my collections with ‘you know who’ that hasn’t yet received my money!”

Continue reading the article.

However, I miss watching the videos. Because they had been going on for more than four years, it did get a little dry, so I feel like I’ve got my mojo back a little bit. “It’s nice to not have the collections,” I said.

Earlier this year, it was reported that the EastEnders star was considering suing the company, which was facing administration. She previously worked with the fast fashion brand on a string of collections, including a swimwear collection last year.

According to sources, the business has been allegedly denying its employees for some time. Some on social media made outrage over the brand’s once-huge $ 100 million valuation and vehemently opposed their association with it.

While others have previously threatened legal action against In The Style. A source told The Sun at the time that Jacqueline is owed tens of thousands of pounds, most likely a five-figure sum, so she is consulting lawyers about how to proceed.

“They’re still selling clothes online, including items from Jacqueline’s collection,” says one woman. Five years ago, Jacqueline joined the company as its face, and it is said that she will make a rumored £1 million deal.

Carys Whittaker, a social media influencer, claimed that the company had purposefully withheld money from her in February. She wrote, “In my 8 years online, I have never spoken out about a brand, but I can’t stay quiet about this,” in a statement shared with her followers.

“I’ve worked with InTheStyle for the past four years, and some of you were aware of my imminent collection launch.” I’m now aware that I’m no longer employed by InTheStyle because they resisted paying me money from the last year’s collections.

Other InTheStyle employees have positions in the same league as me, according to the statement I made. Revenues for In The Style decreased from £45.9 million to £30.4 million for the year to March 31, 2024.

After taking “significant steps to reduce operational overhead by investing in automation, clear strategic priorities, and the elimination of duplication of task,” they also took a “significant step to reduce operational overhead by investing in automation, clear strategic priorities, and the removal of duplication of task.

The board at the time approved a statement that read, “This fiscal year was a year of realignment and resetting operating practices for In the Style with a focus on developing robust unit economics to support the business, right-sizing the overhead, and developing efficiencies as a result of the wider group integration.

To provide the right sources of information for making sound trading decisions, we have invested a significant amount of time into our business intelligence and reporting suite. Despite a drop in toppling sales, the company has been able to significantly improve its margins as a result of the business shifting its focus from top line sales to a relentless obsession with net contribution margin.

The Mirror has contacted In The Style for comment.

The Fluminense history maker, 44, with his eyes on Peter Shilton

  • 35 Comments

He made his club world cup debut in 1997, making 1, 378 senior appearances, and is the club’s oldest player.

Brazilian goalkeeper Fabio Deivson Lopes Maciel, who has already had a promising career, is not letting down.

The 44-year-old scored twice against Inter Milan on Monday to advance to the Club World Cup quarter-final, facing either Man City or Al-Hilal.

The 2023 Copa Libertadores champions stunned this year’s Champions League runners-up before celebrating in style with four saves, including a crucial late block with his legs.

Even though both made fun of their years in the 33C heat, he even makes his 40-year-old teammate Thiago Silva seem young in comparison.

Just four days prior, he set a new record for the 507th clean sheet, surpassing Gianluigi Buffon, an international from Italy. Right now, the record is 508.

He will now be looking forward to recording the most appearances in international football, which is even more impressive.

Peter Shilton, a former England goalkeeper, currently holds the Guinness Book of Records record with 1, 390 appearances. Shilton asserts that he has played 1, 387 games.

Even so, Fabio’s actual tally is still questioned.

In his club career, Shilton is credited with having made 1, 249 starts and a record-setting 125 England starts, which equals his total appearances of 1, 374.

So why isn’t Fabio, who won the Under-19 World Cup in 1997 and has spent his entire career there already the record holder? He has never played for his country.

Although it is up for debate whether or not that qualifies as a senior appearance, Fluminense and Fabio are obviously being safe rather than sorry because they passed the 1, 374-foot mark without much fanfare.

It will only be a matter of time, regardless of whether they are pursuing 1, 387 or 1, 390. The record looks certain to be his even though he turns 45 in September and has a new contract up until 2026.

However, that is another thing: how long the record stays with him.

Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, is still playing for the club and country, and he has played in 1, 281 senior games as a professional.

Fluminense into Club World Cup quarterfinals after stunning Inter Milan 2-0

With a stunning 2–0 win over Inter Milan, Fluminense defeated champions League runners-up Hercules with a stoppage-time goal.

After three minutes, Luminense made a dream start in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday with Cano pounce on a deflected cross and direct the ball into goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

In the 30th minute, Samuel Xavier fired a rebound effort just inches wide of the far-left post after Jhon Arias had already fouled the Brazilian side.

And Ignacio believed to have doubled Flu’s advantage in the 39th minute, only to have the automated review system decide him favorably.

In the 62nd minute, Sommer brilliantly reacted to push Arias’ effort from outside the penalty area just around his left post, continuing the pattern of more possession from Inter Milan but with more risky chances.

In the 80th and 82nd minute, Lutaro Martinez made the closest attempt to bring Inter Milan level, forcing the 44-year-old Fabio to two saves before striking the post with a second low effort seconds later.

Inter Milan’s occasionally shaky defense was exposed for a second time eleven minutes later. Following a throw-in, Herocs found himself free at the edge of the 18-yard box, where he headed with a low, composed finish, which sent the Fluminense fans into a state of dread.

[Agustin Marcarian/Reuters] German Cano celebrates scoring for Fluminense’s opening opener.

Thiago Silva, the captain of Luminense, expressed his pride over the victory of their top team in such high-profile matches in extremely hot weather.

He told DAZN, “I’m very happy for both myself and the team.” I had an injury ten days ago, and today it wasn’t simple to play. However, I’m pleased with the medical team because I had a lot of work to do today. ”

After Palmeiras and Palmeiras also advanced to the last eight, the outcome resulted in two Brazilian quarterfinalists in the first edition of this expanded tournament format.

In the quarterfinals, Luminense will face Manchester City’s opponent Al Hilal, who defeated them on Monday.

A replay of the 2023 Club World Cup final, which Manchester City won 4-0, would be presented if heavily favored Manchester City made progress.

After falling to Paris Saint-Germain 5-0 in the UEFA Champions League final, Inter Milan were eliminated in the second round 30 days later. Additionally, they came in only second place in the Italian serie A.

The coach of Inter Milan, Cristian Chivu, praised his team’s attitude as they battled to recover from conceding an early goal.

We maintained our resolve. until the end, we tried. Even in the formation, we attempted to make some changes. He told DAZN, “It wasn’t our day.”

We didn’t anticipate them to play five at the back, but they were well-organized and had a low block in defense. We had a difficult time coming up with solutions, especially in the first half, when we tried a lot. Perhaps we should have tried again in the second half, playing outside and with some more crosses.

A well-known YouTuber will also be competing for a spot at the 153rd Open in Tuesday’s final qualifying events along with two major winners, a former world number one, and a number of Ryder Cup legends.

One of the most intriguing storylines at Dundonald Links will be influential author Peter Finch, who has a large social media following.

One of 288 players who will compete in events in Scotland, Burnham &amp, Berrow, Royal Cinque Ports, and West Lancashire, the 38-year-old is one of the 20 spots still open for the final men’s major of the year at Royal Portrush, which will take place from July 17 to July 20.

Finch, who is known for his course vlogs, golfing challenges, and match-ups with professionals on his social channels, expressed that “I’m feeling a little nervous but also quite excited in some ways.”

In this region of the world, Dundonald is a course that I am familiar with and really enjoy. You will see something from me and two European Tour pros, he said.

The Lancashire resident, who is described on the official Open X account as a content creator, golfer, and dream chaser, is well aware that he is a rank outsider in order to advance ahead of other players who have all won on the DP World Tour.

Finch has never and probably never will play that level.

And Lee Westwood’s presence is highlighted by his simultaneous tee-off in the 36-hole competition at 07:50 BST.

Tiger Woods, 52, surpassed him in the world rankings in 2010 and finished with a few second- and third-place finishes in golf’s four major championships.

The Englishman finished in a tie for fourth at Portrush in 2019 after missing out on a place in a play-off in 2009 and last played at the Open in 2022.

Adrian Meronk, a four-time champion on the DWP Tour before switching to the Saudi-backed series, will also be a strong contender to win one of the five positions on offer at the links course in Ayrshire.

While Welshman Jamie Donaldson competed in the 2014 Ryder Cup alongside Johannes Veerman and Angel Hidalgo on their main professional tour of Europe,
