The upsets have arrived at Wimbledon. The 2026 edition of the tournament saw chalk rule the roost for much of the first three rounds, but Saturday finally saw some chaos on the women’s side of the field.

No. 2 seed Elena Rybakina fell in straight sets to No. 25 Elis Mertens, No. 3 Iga Swiatek did the same against No. 29 Alexandra Eala and No. 6 Amanda Anisimova went down in three sets against No. 26 Madison Keys.

Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, could not manage anything offensive on Saturday against Mertens. It marks her second straight third-round exit from the grass courts after winning in ’22, reaching the quarterfinals in 2023 and the semifinals in 2024.

The 21-year-old Eala is the first Filipino to ever reach the fourth round of a grand slam after her impressive win over Swiatek, the 2025 Wimbledon champion. Meanwhile, this is a disappointing finish for Anisimova, who was fighting her emotions after dropping the second set. She reached the finals at Wimbledon last summer.

CBS Sports was with you throughout the day on Friday with the latest updates and results from both brackets.

Lucas Glover tied atop 2026 John Deere Classic leaderboard with Max Homa, Zach Johnson among chasers

SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — Lucas Glover chipped in for eagle early and made a birdie late, his only two sub-par holes Saturday for a 2-under 69 that was just enough for him to share the lead with Lee Hodges in the John Deere Classic that now has plenty of possibilities.

Hodges had four birdies in a six-hole stretch on the back nine of the TPC Deere Run for a 67 to join Glover at 16-under 197 going into the final round.

Nine players were within four shots of the lead, a group that ranges from 50-year-old Zach Johnson to NCAA champion Preston Stout of Oklahoma State.

Glover’s three-year exemption on the PGA Tour from winning twice in 2023 expires this year, and he began the season still recovering from labrum surgery.

“You pretty much know you’ve got to go low or you’re not going to win,” Glover said. “Everybody is going to have to be aggressive, so I’ve got to hit it a little better tomorrow to achieve the ultimate goal.”

Hodges hit his stride on the back nine, with six consecutive holes leaving birdie chances of 15 feet or closer. He converted four of them to join Glover. But there is little room for error.

Zac Blair (67), Ben Kohles (66) and Jackson Suber (66) were one shot behind. Another stroke back was Doug Ghim (67). Still lurking three shots behind was Johnson, who has such a strong history at the John Deere Classic — the Iowa native considers it his home tournament — that he skipped the U.S. Senior Open at Scioto this week.

Johnson poured in a 35-foot birdie putt on the last hole for a 66. He will have a chance to join a small group of players to have won on the PGA Tour Champions and the PGA Tour in the same calendar year. Phil Mickelson was the most recent in 2021.

Stout, playing on a sponsor exemption, shot 66 and was in the group four shots behind that included Max Homa and Ryo Hisatsune.

Not to be overlooked was Rickie Fowler, who had to get up and down from par on his last hole Friday to make the cut on the number. Starting the third round 11 shots out of the lead, Fowler bogeyed his last hole and still shot 63 to get within five shots. Also five shots behind was Blades Brown, the 19-year-old who already has had two chances to win on the PGA Tour this year.

Hodges won his only tour title in Minnesota in 2023. He has had conditional status this year after finishing outside the top 100 in the FedEx Cup, but one more good round could change his status. Hodges, just like everyone else in the mix, had the same outlook.

He had a big lead in Minnesota and found himself trying to hang on. Sunday at TPC Deere Run figures to be entirely different.

“Tomorrow will be a little more fun,” Hodges said. “I get to go attack and just beat people. I’m just going to keep my pedal down and just shoot lower than anybody tomorrow.”

Kohles has already won on the Korn Ferry Tour this year and will be going for his first PGA Tour win. Seven of the top 11 players have yet to win on the PGA Tour, including Blair. The Utah native had a two-shot lead at one point until hitting into a hazard and taking double bogey on the 11th hole.

Glover made his first bogey of the tournament when he missed the green at No. 9. The third round was halted for about an hour because of a late storm. Glover returned to make a 6-foot birdie putt on the 17th and close with a par.

Del Castillo hits 3-run homer to lift Diamondbacks past Brewers 4-3

PHOENIX (AP) Adrian Del Castillo hit a three-run home run in the first inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks held on to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Saturday night.

Merrill Kelly (6-8) went five innings to win for the first time in seven starts. He allowed eight hits, walked two and struck out six. He gave up two runs in the fifth on Christian Yelich’s sixth home run of the season.

Paul Sewald gave up Jackson Chourio’s 13th homer in the ninth but finished for his 20th save in 21 chances.

Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff left the game in the fourth inning, accompanied by a trainer, after striking out Del Castillo on a 3-2 pitch.

After the game, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Woodruff would probably be placed back on the injured list. The right-hander was making his third start since returning from the injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

Woodruff said after the game that it was similar to his earlier shoulder issue, and that it wasn’t a good idea to prolong his outing.

“First inning was fine, then it was kind of a slow progression of discomfort,” Woodruff said.

“It’s kind of the life of my shoulder. You hope that it will hold on until the end of the year and then you reassess and make some adjustments. But it’s kind of popped up on me here.”

Woodruff has been limited to 32 starts since 2023, including missing the entire ’24 campaign.

“It gets a little frustrating dealing with this. It kind of comes in waves,” he said.

His highest velocity pitch in the fourth inning was 87 mph. He gave up two hits, three runs and a walk in 3 2/3 innings, striking out six.

Arizona moved back to .500 (45-45) despite being outhit 12-4. The Brewers had won their last six games on the road.

After Del Castillo’s home run, Woodruff and relievers Craig Yoho and Jared Koenig retired the next 19 Diamondbacks batters until pinch-hitter Lourdes Gurriel Jr. singled leading off the eighth. Ildemaro Vargas followed with a double off Koenig to score pinch runner Jorge Barrosa to make it 4-2.

Woodruff walked Corbin Carroll with two outs in the first, Gabriel Moreno followed with a single to center and Del Castillo hit his fifth homer of the season into the right-field seats.

Woodruff (2-2) hadn’t allowed a run in his previous two starts since returning to the Milwaukee rotation. His season ERA is 2.98.

Wimbledon 2026: Schedule, bracket, results: Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic cruise into fourth round
Two of the big favorites in the men’s draw are rolling toward a potential showdown

By Brad Crawford

, Brent Brookhouse

& Robby Kalland of cbssports.com contributing
Friday at Wimbledon is in the books. Many of the top seeds are still rolling on through toward the fourth round, but a few are heading home early after stunning third-round upsets.

No. 8 Daniil Medvedev is among them after a shocking straight-set loss to Jan Lennard Struff. Medvedev was up a break in each of the three sets and had a chance to close out the third up 5-2 and serving for set point at 40-15 before an unbelievable meltdown to lose the set and match 5-7.

Other notable losses on Friday include American Tommy Paul who fell to Hubert Hurkacz in four sets, as well as a pair of rising stars in Joao Fonseca and Rafael Jodar.

Those who did not slip up, however, were No. 1 Jannik Sinner and No. 7 Novak Djokovic. Sinner ousted American Jenson Brooksby in straight sets while Djokovic needed four to take care of No. 25 Arthur Rinderknech.

On the women’s side, chalk held once more as all top seeds advanced on through, including No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, No. 4 Jessica Pegula and No. 7 Coco Gauff.

CBS Sports was with you throughout the day on Friday with the latest updates and results from both brackets.

Aryna Sabalenka pushes to fourth round, Coco Gauff advances

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka defeated Jelena Ostapenko 6-4, 6-4 in the third round at Wimbledon while seventh-seeded Coco Gauff held off American qualifier Claire Liu 6-3, 6-7, 6-2. Sabalenka, a four-time grand slam winner, has never reached the final at Wimbledon and needs two more victories for her fourth semifinals appearance.

Gauff’s into the round of 16 for a fourth time at the All-England Club, where she’ll try and reach the quarterfinals for the first time. Sabalenka plays Naomi Osaka on Sunday, ahead of Gauff’s next match with Belinda Bencic, who ousted Anna Kalinskaya in a third-set tiebreak.

Gauff took control in the third against Liu after losing her composure a bit by the end of the second, the first set loss she has suffered this tournament. Liiu came to the net twice as often as Gauff during the match and by the end of the second set tiebreak, had won 23 of 33 net point opportunities.

Gauff faulted on serve facing set point in the second, this coming after Liu had saved three match points. However, she responded with consistency in the third, breaking Liu in the first game before marching on with a decisive victory.

Gauff’s now 23-7 in her career during three-set matches at majors.

What she does best.

Top-ranked Jannik Sinner leaves no doubt in straights

Since his five-set struggle to open Wimbledon, top-ranked Jannik Sinner hasn’t dropped a set and is into the fourth round after Friday’s 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory over American Jenson Brooksby. Many thought Brooksby, whose preference is grass-court tennis, would challenge Sinner, but the Italian moved to Wimbledon’s second week for the fifth consecutive year.

Now 23-4 all-time at Wimbledon, Sinner takes on Japan’s Shintaro Mochizuk on Sunday in the round of 16. Sinner chose not to play. grass-court warmup tournament heading into the All-England Club, instead choosing to rest after his surprising second-round loss at French Open.

Thus far, Sinner’s well-calculated decision looks flawless for a player on the verge of an opportunity to win his second straight Wimbledon title with a couple more wins.

Novak Djokovic ties Roger Federer with 105th career Wimbledon win

Novak Djokovic is in the round of 16 at Wimbledon after holding off Arthur Rinderknech 7-5, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 Friday on center court. Now 70-0 in his career at Wimbledon after winning the first two sets, Djokovic tied Roger Federer with 105 all-time wins at the All-England Club.

For match point during the fourth-set tiebreaker, Djokovic crashed to the ground while hitting a backhand winner to finish it off after Rinderknech hit the grass while reaching for a forehead near the net. After taking the first two sets, Djokovic labored through the third losing 6-1, an impressive stretch from Rinderknech that featured several aces and forehand precision during a couple breaks.

Rinderknech was on the winning end of a 17-shot rally on serve to knot the fourth set at four before Djokovic’s eventual win. During the multi-hit exchange, Rinderknech saved a pair of drops from Djokovic and returned a lob from the baseline after a full sprint from the net.

Rinderknech held serve at love eight times during the match, not an easy feat against a 24-time grand slam champion. However, Djokovic’s reliability proved too much down the stretch in the first career matchup between the two. The No. 7 seed in the tournament, Djokovic will play Roman Safiullin up next as the 39-year-old continues his quest to win his eighth Wimbledon championship.

Naomi Osaka sets career mark, Jess Pegula advances

Highlighting Wimbledon’s third round on the women’s side early Friday, Naomi Osaka handled Daria Kasatkina 6-1, 6-3 to advance to the round of 16 for the first time in her career. The four-time major champion won 81%of points on her first serve and converted 5-of-12 break opportunities. With one of the tour’s most powerful forehands, the 14th-seeded Osaka has now reached the fourth round at two grand slam this season after doing so at the French Open.

Fourth-seeded American Jess Pegula also cruised in the third round, beating Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-1, 6-3. Pegula’s Wimbledon breakthrough came in 2023 when she reached the quarterfinals and now has a chance to do the same on Sunday. She’s a threat to any opponent left in the draw when her grass-court game clicks and she has not dropped a set thus far at the All-England Club.

Chourio’s scratch hit in 11th breaks tie, Brewers top Diamondbacks 7-4

PHOENIX (AP) Jackson Chourio’s slow roller scored the go-ahead run in the 11th inning and the Milwaukee Brewers went on to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-4 on Friday night.

Ryan Thompson (3-2), the eighth Arizona pitcher of the game, entered to start the 11th with automatic runner Blake Perkins at second. Thompson hit Cooper Pratt, and Joey Ortiz sacrificed the runners to second and third. Christian Yelich was walked intentionally and Chourio hit a soft grounder to the third-base side. Thompson fielded it, but threw wildly, also allowing Pratt to score. Brice Turang followed with a two-run single to left.

Grant Anderson (2-3) pitched the final two innings for the Brewers, winners of four of their last five. Milwaukee, opening an 11-game trip that leads into the All-Star break, has a six-game lead in the National League Central.

Garrett Mitchell hit his eighth homer, a two-run shot, off José Cabrera in the second inning.

Mitchell nearly had another homer in the third but Diamondbacks left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. made a leaping catch at the wall.

In the sixth, Chourio made a similar catch in left to rob Gurriel. And then in the ninth, Gurriel made another catch on a ball Chourio hit to left center.

That seemed to change the Diamondbacks’ fortunes, as they tied the game in the bottom of the third and chased Brewers starter Kyle Harrison. Nolan Arenado’s two-run double made it 3-3 and ended Harrison’s night. The lefty threw 38 pitches in the third inning alone and was charged with three runs in 2 2/3 innings.

Cabrera didn’t fare much better, lasting just 3 1/3 innings. He gave up six hits and three runs.

The bullpens took over from there, allowing no runs until the automatic runners entered the picture.

Milwaukee RHP Brandon Woodruff (2-1, 2.59) opposes Arizona RHP Merrill Kelly (5-8. 5.84) on Saturday night.

The Milwaukee Brewers had a ten game span from late April to mid-June where they won Kyle Harrison’s starts. Now in each of his last two they have lost. In his three career starts he has struggled against the Arizona Diamondbacks in all. Two of the outings he did not make it past the fourth inning. Gaberiel Moreno has shown to be a consistent bat in the Dbacks lineup, and does have a hit and RBI against Kyle Harrison.

LOSS

You may see fewer MLB picks from me in the next week or so because now we have hit the ultimate “Dead Zone” ahead of the All-Star Break. “Stanger Things!” I’m just going to keep doing pop culture. Hey, it’s T-Swizzle’s wedding night so I get a pass. Milwaukee lefty Kyle Harrison has largely been great but seems to be regressing to norms. And the Snakes murder southpaws (.773 OPS that is third in MLB). A one-run loss is just fine.

Cabo Verde’s dream World Cup ends against Argentina, but story to give every small nation reason to believe

The Blue Sharks pushed Lionel Messi and the reigning champions to the absolute limit before bowing out in an emotional round of 32 clash

Vozinha and Cabo Verde tangled with Lionel Messi and Argentina, and while the run of the Blue Sharks at the World Cup may be over, they’ve left a mark on the World Cup that won’t be forgotten. As the second smallest nation to ever qualify for the tournament, Cabo Verde used LinkedIn as a recruiting tool, pulling from their diaspora around the world, and after drawing against Spain, they one-upped themselves in an electric match, facing Argentina in the round of 32.

What’s most impressive in this loss to Argentina is that Cabo Verde lived up to their dreams so much that, leaving the pitch against Argentina, it wasn’t about moral victories. It was a picture of sadness. Players who laid it all on the line going toe to toe with the reigning World Cup champions, and they were able to fight back twice. Vozinha outdueled Emiliano Martínez, and Sidny Lopes Cabral had the best goal from distance, not Messi.

“We hope that now you realize that there is no easy opponent, and congratulations to Cabo Verde. We knew that they were going to be a tough opponent, and we struggled so much,” Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni said after the match. “Actually, we deserved the win, but that doesn’t mean that the opponent made things easy for us, and of course, I will talk about the negative aspects with my players, but we also need to focus on the positive aspects, the fact that we never gave in, and neither did the opponents.”

Messi also agreed with his manager about how tough the Blue Sharks made this on Argentina. Without fouling much, Cabo Verde are the team who pushed Argentina the most physically, making things quite tough for them in the match despite having all the talent from all over the world and a core of the team playing in the second division of Portugal.

“We knew this would be a very tough match. In the World Cup, no one gives you anything for free. Now it’s about resting, learning from today, and focusing on the next game. Also, congratulations to Cabo Verde for that great performance,” Messi said.

These aren’t things that happen overnight, and it’s part of why the Cabo Verde story has been one that has endured during this tournament. Katy Perry may not have been in attendance for their game against Argentina, but even Left Shark made an appearance in the game as their style makes the Blue Sharks easy to root for, as Bubista has built an organized unit during his time in charge of the squad.

“I think that shows the character of our team, how skilled our team is, and was throughout most of the match. We knew of the quality of our opponent,” Bubista said. “It would be a tough match, as it truly proved to be against Argentina. But I think we did our best, and we did it with bravery. And never did we fail to stay true to our identity, which is why I’m so proud of what my players did throughout the match.”

Bubista has been the architect of this project, managing the side since 2020, and while he was confident that they’d compete coming into the match, it’s another thing to push Argentina from start to finish after what they’ve already accomplished. And surely he’ll also be prepared to work on their set-play defending, which was their undoing in extra time.

Their keeper, Vozinha, grew to internet fame after the draw against Spain and has amassed over 18 million Instagram followers during the tournament. When the World Cup began, his mother wasn’t able to see him play due to visa issues, but those were resolved so that she could see the remainder of Cabo Verde’s run.

While there is joy around the Cabo Verde story, there are also the rape allegations surrounding their captain, Ryan Mendes, that have cast a negative shadow during the tournament. He had an assist during the game and has appeared over 100 times for this country, but he’s currently under investigation in regard to an alleged incident in New Zealand in March.

Following the match, Bubista made it clear that he would only answer questions about the game, and if Mendes is found guilty, his participation in the World Cup will bring a black mark to this team, which is unfortunate because they’re well poised to be back at this stage.

This World Cup run will make dual national recruitment easier for Cabo Verde, as now eyes turn toward the Africa Cup of Nations and qualifying for the 2030 World Cup. Remember the Cabo Verde name because this won’t be the last time that it’s heard on the big stage for this island nation.
