Pakistan's coaching chaos since 2024 has been a mess of sudden firings and confused hirings, bouncing between Gary Kirsten, Jason Gillespie, Aqib Javed, Mike Hesson, Azhar Mahmood, and Sarfaraz Ahmed for reasons that change on a whim. The big plan to split coaches for different formats quickly fell apart when Kirsten resigned and Gillespie was forced to juggle extra jobs. Instead of sticking with a plan, the board constantly handed out random interim titles, brought in Azhar, and then suddenly named former player Sarfaraz as Test coach, only to fire him and bowling coach Umar Gul mid-series after losses to England, alongside sending seven players packing. Through all these constant arrivals, exits, and panicked shake-ups, the team's poor results never change, proving that swapping coaches is just a band-aid for a broken system.

Daniil Medvedev swept past American wildcard Sebastian Gorzny 6-1, 6-3, 7-5 to reach the third round of the US Open, with an unusual interruption from two birds providing the only real drama. The 2021 champion dominated from the start, breaking in the opening game and racing through the first set in just 21 minutes while firing 14 aces across the match. Gorzny, playing only his second Grand Slam main-draw match, raised his level in the third set and saved four break points, but Medvedev eventually broke in the 11th game before serving out the match. The Russian will next face either Spain’s Jaume Munar or France’s Arthur Rinderknech.
