A mixed bag of sports news today, from triumphant comebacks to devastating crimes. We'll cover Petra Kvitova's return to the tennis court, England's women's rugby team's victory, and the shocking sentencing of a former Olympic swimmer.
Kvitova's Return to Tennis
Czech tennis star Petra Kvitova made her return to the court after giving birth, playing her first match since 2023 at a tournament in Austin. 
While anticipation was high, her comeback wasn't quite the fairy tale ending she might have hoped for. Kvitova faced Jodie Burrage from Great Britain in the first round.
Despite a valiant effort and a strong fight after her return, Kvitova ultimately lost the match 1:2. The match was closely watched, and Kvitova's performance showed both the rust of time away and the undeniable skill that made her a champion. It's clear she's got the fire to compete again, and fans are eager to see what she does next.
Rugby Triumph for England
On a brighter note, England's women's rugby team has reason to celebrate. They faced Australia in Las Vegas, and their victory is built on the foundation laid by Great Britain trailblazers who fought for the sport's recognition. These pioneers overcame incredible odds just to get a Test series going – and then they won it!
This victory in Las Vegas is a testament to their hard work and dedication. "It's an amazing feeling to represent my country and to know we're building on the legacy of those who came before us," said one player after the match. The future looks bright for England's women's rugby team.
Olympic Swimmer Jailed for Rape
In a disturbing turn of events, former Olympic swimmer Antony James, 35, has been sentenced to 21 years in prison after being found guilty of raping two teenage girls and committing other sexual offences. 
James, who represented Great Britain at the 2012 London Games in the 100m butterfly, was a trainee police officer at the time of his arrest.
The Plymouth crown court heard that James groomed the girls before assaulting them. The severity of the crimes and the betrayal of trust have shocked the community. This case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of sexual abuse and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable.
