• “I cannot wait, it’s not a joke,” the 21-year-old French pro tennis player said to the umpire before sprinting to the bathroom

• Following the match, the French tennis star said that he woke up that morning feeling unwell

Arthur Geapaused the first set of hisFrench Opendebut to take an emergency bathroom break.

On Sunday, May 24, the 135th-ranked French tennis star, 21, dramatically dashed off the Suzanne-Lenglen Court in Paris after telling the umpire that he had to urgently use the restroom in the middle of his match against Karen Khachanov.

“I need to go to the bathroom. I can't move anymore,” Gea said to the chair umpire before running off, according to theAssociated Press. “I'm going to (go) on the court.”

“I cannot wait. It's not a joke,” he added, as seen in a TNT Sports video.

While Gea was trailing Khachanov 4-2 when he abruptly paused the match, Khachanov protested to the umpire as three minutes passed before they were able to resume.

According to aruleintroduced by the Association of Tennis Professionals in 2022, players can take a maximum of three minutes once they have entered the toilet. Additionally, a player may only take one toilet break per match during a set break.

In this case, Gea said that the umpire allowed him the break because of “medical circumstances,” noting that he was given medications to ease his stomach pain.

Ultimately, Khachanov won the match 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-0.

Following the match, Gea said that he woke up that morning feeling unwell after not feeling any symptoms the night before.

“I was feeling really, really bad this morning in particular. But during the match was even worse because it was a bit hot and I had to go to the toilet really quick and they didn't allow it,” he said during apress conference. “I was asking the referee because I was feeling really, really bad and then the doctor came and obviously I could go out and it was not so long.”

In addition to Gea's illness, his match against Khachanov took place during a grueling heat wave in Paris with temperatures nearing 90 degrees Fahrenheit. As spectators fanned themselves with newspapers in the stands, players attempted to keep cool and stay hydrated on the court.

“I was feeling a bit better but it was still really bad,” Gea continued of his condition after returning the bathroom. “It was really, really hard physically with my health.”

Travis Kelce's and Patrick Mahomes' homes were broken into just days apart 00:17

Police in Chile on Sunday said they arrested three Chileans wanted by the FBI for allegedly robbing the homes of professional American athletes in 2024 and 2025.

The suspects also robbed athletes in Argentina, authorities said.

The thieves stole jewelry, high-end watches and souvenirs such as sports jerseys, among other belongings, they said.

Two of them were arrested last week after breaking into the home of former tennis player Juan Martin del Potro, the last Latin American to win a Grand Slam tournament -- the 2009 U.S. Open.

"The capture of these two individuals in Argentina" led to the arrest on Saturday of a third member of the gang, Commissioner Enrique Gutierrez of Chilean Interpol said in a video released by the police.

U.S. authorities had already requested "arrest warrants with a view to extradition," he added.

In December 2024, theFBI issued a noticeto sports leagues earlier this month informing teams and players ofrecent burglariestargeting professional athletes. The advisory said at least nineprofessional athleteswere targeted in the rash of forced entries at their homes across the country between September and November 2024, sources told CBS News.

Police in Chile did not reveal the names of any of the American athletes who were allegedly robbed.

CBS News previously reported on break-ins at the homes of NBA starLuca Doncic, Cincinnati Bengals quarterbackJoe Burrow,Kansas City Chiefs starsPatrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, Minnesota Timberwolves guardMike Conley Jr., Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis, andTyler Seguinof the NHL's Dallas Stars.

In February 2025, theU.S. chargedseven Chilean nationals in connection with the burglaries. The suspects stole valuables worth over $2 million, including jewelry, cash, and other luxury merchandise,according to the Justice Department.

According to police in Chile, the suspects checked the security levels of each house and reviewed the social media profiles of their potential victims.

"These individuals will face justice in the United States or Argentina, as they had no significant criminal record in Chile, having specialized in robberies outside our borders," Gutierrez added.

KYIV, May 25 (Reuters) - Russia said on Monday that it intended to launch "systematic strikes" on targets in Kyiv linked to the Ukrainian military as well as decision-making centres, and urged foreigners to leave, a day after one of its heaviest bombardments of the city since the start of the war.

Russian drone and missile strike in Kyiv

But ‌Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha urged Kyiv's allies not to give in to "Russian blackmail." And the head of the EU mission in the city said the 27-nation ‌bloc was "not going anywhere."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to a Russian Foreign Ministry statement, that the impending strikes were "in response to the continuing terrorist attacks by the Kyiv regime" ​against civilians in Russia.

The statement said Russia's armed forces "are starting systematic strikes on facilities located in Kyiv that are used for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as on centres where the corresponding decisions are being made."

An earlier Russian Foreign Ministry statement urged foreigners, including diplomats, to leave Kyiv as quickly as possible.

Russia has cited what it describes as a deliberate drone strike last Friday on a student dorm in the Russian-controlled Luhansk region of eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine's military denied the Russian accusations and said it had struck an elite drone command ‌unit in the area.

In Kyiv, rescuers tackled the aftermath of Sunday's ⁠strikes, which authorities said had killed two people and injured 91.

Moscow fired an Oreshnik hypersonic missile near Kyiv - its third use of the nuclear-capable weapon in more than four years of war.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sybiha wrote on the social media platform X: "We are currently discussing with our ⁠partners that there is no need to give in to this Russian blackmail."

The head of the EU mission in Kyiv, Katarina Mathernova, said the Russian warning sought to sow panic.

"Russia wants fear. Panic. Isolation of Ukraine. It will not work," she said on social media. "The EU is not going anywhere. We are staying in Kyiv. We are staying with Ukraine.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said around 300 sites across ​Kyiv ​had been damaged in the weekend strikes, including a newly opened museum devoted to the 1986 Chornobyl ​nuclear disaster.

More than 70 foreign diplomats paid their respects to the ‌victims of the strikes in Kyiv, visiting the heavily damaged neighbourhood of Lukyanivka on Monday.

ATTACKS IN RUSSIA, UKRAINE

Meanwhile, Ukraine continued its own attacks against Russian infrastructure and industrial assets.

In Russia's Belgorod region, one man was killed and another injured in a missile and drone attack that also cut power and water supplies, local authorities said on Telegram.

The Russia-installed head of parts of eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, Denis Pushilin, said seven people were killed in Ukrainian attacks, including a family of four whose car was struck in the industrial town of Horlivka.

In Ukrainian-held territory, two people were killed and 16 wounded in Russian attacks over 24 hours in the southern Kherson region, regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Telegram.

In a missile attack on ‌Monday on the town of Derhachi near Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-biggest city, two people were killed and more ​than 20 injured, officials said.

In the Black Sea port of Odesa, a frequent Russian target, the city's top ​official said one person was killed and three injured in a Russian strike.

A ​further 14 were wounded in the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, officials said. Emergency services said drones attacked a nine-storey apartment building in the town of ‌Pavlohrad.

The governor of those parts of Donetsk region held by Ukraine, Vadym ​Filashkin, said 12 people had been hurt in ​the frontline city of Kramatorsk.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports. Russia and Ukraine deny deliberately targeting civilians since Russia invaded its neighbour in February 2022.

U.S. mediation has failed to broker an end to the war. Each side accuses the other of seeking to escalate the conflict, and Ukraine plans to send reinforcements to its northern ​regions to counter what it believes are Russian plans for ‌a new offensive.

Zelenskiy, in his nightly address, said Ukraine had made little progress with the United States in expanding production of anti-missile defences. He also repeated ​that Kyiv was "expecting new diplomatic measures" from Washington.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Voters in Texas will see little of theRepublican candidatesfor U.S. Senate on Monday. But that's only if they stay away from screens.

Election 2026 Texas

There were no public campaign events scheduled for Sen.John Cornynnor state Attorney GeneralKen Paxtonon the final day of their more than yearlong quest for the GOP nomination. Instead, their fight for Tuesday's runoff continues as it has for months — intense and unabated — through advertising that has topped $109 million, heavily from Cornyn's side.

Cornyn is scheduled to host an annual, non-campaign event in San Antonio to recognize high school graduates attending the nation's service academies. The senator seeking a fifth term held his last public campaign event in Corpus Christi on Friday, ahead of Tuesday’s voting.

Paxton headlinedhis last events Thursdayin the Austin area and in San Antonio, content to let his campaign and a super PAC carry his primary message: thatPresident Donald Trump endorsed himon May 19.

Trump's announcement and accompanying dismissal of Cornyn, who has had an awkward public relationship with the president, came on the second day of early voting, which ended Friday.

Though the candidates were quiet over the weekend, Trump reaffirmed his support for Paxton on Sunday, and disparaged Cornyn as insufficiently loyal to him.

Paxton, Trump posted on social media, “was also very loyal to your favorite President, ME,” while calling Cornyn “VERY disloyal to me.” It was Trump's strongest rebuke of Cornyn, who had dismissed his 2024 comeback chances, and echoed the president's reproach ofLouisiana Sen. Bill Cassidybefore he lost in the May 15 GOP Senate primary.

After Trump's jabs, Cornyn still leaned into his support for the president just before Monday's event. The senator said that 99.3% of his votes aligned with Trump, that he “wants him to be successful” and then he referenced Trump’s previous comments “where he called me a good man and a friend.”

As for endorsing his opponent, “obviously the president is entitled to make his pick," he said, but “Texans are a pretty independent breed and people will be making their own choices.”

Following Trump's call for retribution, Republican voters in Indiana and Kentucky have also chosen GOP primary challengers over incumbent GOP officeholders who have crossed the president or opposed his agenda.

For a contest that is expected to draw a fraction of Texas’ 18.7 million voters, the two candidates’ campaigns and supporting groups were continuing to bombard all Texans with advertising, though more by Cornyn's backers than Paxton's.

"It’s just a slug fest, with the campaigns and third-party groups slugging it out,” said Wayne Hamilton, a former executive director of the Texas Republican Party.

The combination of Cornyn's campaign and supporting super PACs has far outspent pro-Paxton groups over the past year, by almost nine-to-one. But the gap has shrunk as the runoff has approached. In the final week of the campaign, the combination of pro-Cornyn ad spending was less than twice that of Paxton's group.

Cornyn's network continued to air spots attacking Paxton over ethical and personal questions that have shadowed him with little effect throughout the campaign. The senator's consequent argument to voters is that Paxton would struggle in the general election and threaten to flip the seat blue.

“Paxton’s flaws and the baggage he brings to the general election is going to be exploited to the fullest by James Talarico,” he told reporters, before heading into Monday's ceremony and giving a speech devoid of campaign politics to the assembled graduates.

Cornyn’s campaign also had reprised an ad noting his tendency to vote in the Senate for Trump’s priorities.

Paxton's campaign and groups supporting him transitioned midweek to all ads noting Trump's endorsement, though Paxton's primary super PAC, Lone Star Liberty Fund, began airing one over the weekend aimed at raising questions about state Rep. James Talarico, the Texas Democratic Senate nominee.
