Mats Hummels’ second-half header sent Borussia Dortmund into the final of the Champions League as they held off a late fightback from PSG to progress 3–1 on aggregate. Dortmund, who had won the first leg 2–1, struck five minutes into the second half through Hummels’ powerful header, and PSG were unable to muster a response until it was too late. The French side hit the woodwork four times in total, with Kylian Mbappe, Warren Zaire-Emery, Nuno Mendes, and Vitinha all denied by the frame of the goal. Dortmund, sitting fifth in the German Bundesliga, were never expected to go this far and will be underdogs in the final, regardless of their opponent. They will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, who play the second leg of their tie on Wednesday, with the German side holding a 2–0 advantage. This will be Dortmund’s first final since 2013, when they lost to Bayern Munich at Wembley. Hummels played in that final and was the hero here, 11 years later, as his header added to Niclas Fu...

The amendment to the laws of the sport now states that the server should release the shuttle “without adding spin” as the BWF looks to improve rallies after the spin serve proved to be tough to return or completely unplayable. The serve was first tried at the Polish Open in March.
