Morning y’all.

Happy Friday and welcome back to The Nosebleeds🩸 

Little bit of a quiet week in sports so far, but we still have a couple stories on tap for ya.

Let’s go.

Carlos Alcaraz defeats Novak Djokovic in Wimbledon final

In a five set thriller of a final, 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final—handing Novak his first loss at Wimbledon since 2017 quarter-finals.

There are no words to describe how good Alcaraz really is. He is simply unbelievable.

Here are some tweets to try and put his greatness into perspective:

Absolute weapon.

If you haven’t watched this guy play before—do it. A generational talent who will captivate even non-sports fans with his style of play.

The fact that the guy is only 20 years old sure makes me feel like a bum at 22.

Marketa Vondrousova beats Ons Jabeur in the Women’s Final

Jabeur was the heavy favorite going into this match, but it didn’t seem to matter as Vondrousova won the match in straight sets (6-4, 6-4).

What a performance for Vondrousova, as she became the lowest ranked female player to ever win Wimbledon.

What a historic tournament 2023 Wimbledon was.

FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 is underway

The Americans have won the last two World Cups, and are the favorites to make it three in a row in Australia at this year’s tournament.

Here are the top 10 in the FIFA Women’s Rankings, along with their betting odds to win the tournament provided by DraftKings:

1. USA (+250, PWin = 28.6%)

2. Germany (+700, PWin = 12.5%)

3. Sweden (+1600, PWin = 5.9%)

4. England (+400, PWin = 20%)

5. France (+1000, PWin = 9.1%)

6. Spain (+450, PWin = 18.2%)

7. Canada (+3500, PWin = 2.8%)

8. Brazil (+2500, PWin = 3.8%)

9. Netherlands (+2000, PWin = 4.8%)

10. Australia (+1000, PWin = 9.1%)

Should be an outstanding World Cup.
