Zverev eliminated from Miami Open 2025

German No. 1 seed Alexander Zverev unexpectedly lost to No. 17 seed Arthur Fils 1-2 (6-3, 3-6, 4-6) in the fourth round of the 2025 Miami Open.

This defeat shattered Zverev’s dream of winning his first title in 2025. Miami Open 2025 is considered the most favorable opportunity for Zverev to win the championship because he is the number 1 seed. 

In the 2025 season, Zverev reached the final of the Australian Open. Before stopping in the fourth round of the Miami Open, Zverev also said goodbye in the second round of another ATP 1,000 tournament, the Indian Wells Open.

Man United goalkeeper Andre Onana turned down an attractive offer from the Saudi Pro League to continue with the “Red Devils”. 

Onana currently has three years left on his contract with Man United and has no intention of leaving despite interest from a club in the Saudi Pro League. At Man United, Onana is having inconsistent matches and making fans feel frustrated. However, the Cameroon goalkeeper does not want to leave and insists that he will only leave the club when the team does not need him.
