Ivanov beats American qualifier Karki to win Wimbledon juniors title

LONDON (AP) — Ivan Ivanov of Bulgaria won his first Grand Slam title by beating Ronit Karki of the United States 6-2, 6-3 in the Wimbledon juniors final on Sunday.

The 16-year-old Ivanov became the second Bulgarian to win the title after Grigor Dimitrov in 2008.

He never faced a break point against Karki and finished with 22 winners, compared to six for his opponent. In the second set, he lost just three points on his first serve.

“I was feeling my serve very well today,” Ivanov said. “Probably my best weapon today.”

The victory gives Ivanov a chance to attend Wimbledon's traditional Champions Dinner alongside the likes of men's singles winner Jannik Sinner and women's champion Iga Swiatek.

First, though, he has to find something suitable to wear for the black-tie event.

“Right now we’re dealing with it (the outfit),” he said. “I didn’t expect I’m going to win. So that’s a good problem.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s motorcade took a different route than usual to the airport as he was departing Florida on Sunday due to a “suspicious object,” according to the White House.

The object, which the White House did not describe, was discovered during security sweeps in advance of Trump’s arrival at Palm Beach International Airport.

“A further investigation was warranted and the presidential motorcade route was adjusted accordingly,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Sunday.

The president, when asked about the package by reporters, said, “I know nothing about it.”

Trump left his Palm Beach, Florida, club, Mar-a-Lago, around 6:20 p.m. for the roughly 10-minute drive to the airport, but took a circular route around the city to get there.

During the drive, police officers on motorcycles created a moving blockade for the motorcade, at one point almost colliding with the vans that accompanied Trump.

Air Force One was parked on the opposite side of the airport from where it is usually located and the lights outside the plane were turned off.

Anthony Guglielmi, the spokesman for U.S. Secret Service, said the secondary route was taken just as a precaution and that “that is standard protocol.”
