Zheng faces tough French Open draw; Coleman Wong into next qualifying round

Zheng unseeded after dropping out of top 50 and could get Aryna Sabalenka or Iga Swiatek early; Wang Xinyu now China’s top-ranked player

The Olympic gold medallist, who won at Roland Garros during the 2024 Games in Paris, could now face the likes of 2025 runner-up Aryna Sabalenka or four-time winner Iga Swiatek in the first or second round.

Vale: Chris Phelan

The Parramatta Eels are deeply saddened by the passing of Chris Phelan (Eel #405), a member of the club’s 1982 and 1983 Premiership-winning teams.

Born in Ireland on December 12, 1955, Chris emigrated to Townsville in 1967 at age 12 under the “Ten Pound Pom” scheme. He began his rugby league journey with Estates in 1971, reaching A-Grade within two years.

He won a Townsville premiership with Souths in 1975 alongside his brother Paddy, later transitioning from wing to lock and earning Foley Shield Player of the Year honours in 1979.

A carpenter by trade, Chris built his strength and fitness through the physical demands of his work, carrying hardwood and heavy materials daily. After relocating to Brisbane, he further enhanced his conditioning, training with Greg Oliphant and tackling the torturous Mount Coot-tha runs in the height of summer.

Tributes flow around NRL world after death of Eels champion and Origin player Chris Phelan

The NRL community is mourning the death of two-time Parramatta premiership winner and Queensland State of Origin player Chris Phelan. The Eels announced the sad news on Tuesday that Phelan passed away aged 70 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Born in Ireland, the tough as nails forward only played 53 games for Parramatta from 1982 to 1984, but helped the Eels win back-to-back premierships in 82 and 83 before playing another grand final in 84. He also played four State of Origin games for Queensland after emigrating to Townsville.

He won the 1981 premiership with Souths Magpies in the Queensland competition, and was awarded the Rothmans Medal for player of the season. He had a stint with Oldham in England from 1984 to 1985, and then won another premiership with Souths Magpies in 1985 alongside Queensland legends Mal Meninga and Gary Belcher, with Wayne Bennett as coach.

Tough 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness priced

The new-generation 2026 Subaru Outback has been priced from $48,990 plus on-road costs (ORCs), with five variants set to be offered across the Outback, Premium, Touring, Wilderness, and Wilderness Apex grades.

Having debuted at the New York motor show in April, the seventh-gen Outback is just about here and it’s launching with not one, but two hardcore Wilderness variants at the top of tree.

However, starting at the bottom of the range, the entry-level Outback all-wheel drive (AWD) is powered by a carryover 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine developing 137kW/254Nm – 1kW less than before – but stands 7mm higher off the ground than its predecessor and offers an extra 8-litre of boot space (530L).

2026 Subaru Outback: Boxy new SUV confirmed for Australia with higher prices

Subaru has confirmed the next-generation Outback and the Wilderness sub-brand for Australia, but the boxy new SUV will bring higher prices.

Subaru has confirmed the heavily revised seventh-generation Outback is coming to Australia in 2026, when it will bring an edgier design, a larger body, and a price rise of nearly $5000 at the bottom of the range.

The newest iteration of Subaru’s wagon-like ‘large’ SUV was revealed at the New York motor show in April this year, showcasing boxier proportions with more aggressive styling and a higher roofline, and vastly improved interior tech.

Australian specifications leaked in government documents earlier this year have now been confirmed, along with local pricing for the new model, via a recorded video presentation. The five-variant Outback range now starts at $48,990 before on-roads, which is $4800 more than the outgoing model at the bottom of the lineup.
