Top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka delivered 12 aces while knocking off fourth-seeded Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 on Friday to reach the championship match of the WTA Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Sabalenka hit 30 winners and saved 6 of 9 break points on her way to winning the semifinal match in two hours and 21 minutes.

Sabalenka of Belarus will face sixth-seeded Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan in the final. Rybakina rallied for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over No. 5 seed Jessica Pegula in the other semifinal.

The winner of the championship match at the year-end event receives $5.235 million.

Sabalenka defeated Anisimova in straight sets in the U.S. Open final two months ago and once again got the better of the American.

However, things were a little dicey for Sabalenka after she fell down 4-0 en route to losing the second set.

"That was a fight, she played incredible tennis -- incredible from both players," Sabalenka said. "I felt in the second set like there was nothing to do."

Anisimova led 3-2 in the third set before Sabalenka won four straight games to end the match.

"I think I'm focusing on my game and I'm just trying to pull out everything I have with each point," Sabalenka told Tennis Channel. "I was telling myself, 'Aryna, just enjoy this fight. Try to do your best and this is the moment you've been waiting for.'"

Anisimova had 31 winners and seven aces but sabotaged her game with 48 unforced errors. Sabalenka committed 28 unforced errors.

"I think I played good tennis at points in the match," Anisimova said. "And at some points there was a drop. It was kind of like a roller coaster. There are things I can learn from this match but it's too soon to process it."

In the other semi, Rybakina dominated with her serve against Pegula, holding a 15-1 edge in aces.

She also overcame a whopping 67 unforced errors -- Pegula had 36 -- but repeatedly got herself out of trouble with timely serves.

"Yeah, it's my biggest weapon and I think it worked really well," Rybakina said of her serve. "Some moments, when I needed it the most, it worked -- even though she was really playing well and pushing me in the tough situations."

Pegula won the opening set and struggled in the second before breaking Rybakina's service and moving within 5-4. But Rybakina answered by breaking Pegula in a long game to win the second set.

The match was 2-2 in the third set before Rybakina won four of five games to clinch her spot in the final.

"Tough loss," Pegula said. "Kudos to her, she played some really good tennis, always serving well. I felt like in these conditions and on this court, especially with her serve, it's tough when she's getting free points every single game.

"But regardless, I thought I played at a really high level."

Saturday will mark the fourth meeting of the year between Sabalenka and Rybakina. Sabalenka went 2-1 in the other matches and holds an 8-5 all-time lead. It will be the first WTA Finals title for the winner.

"It's going to be another powerful game, I felt that today was great preparation," Sabalenka said of facing Rybakina. "I want to leave everything out there in the last match of the season, and do all I can to win this beautiful trophy."

Las Vegas Raiders fire special teams coordinator Tom McMahon after TNF loss

Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season started off with an AFC West tilt in Denver on "Thursday Night Football." After a game that featured nearly as many first downs (20) as points, the Broncos earned a 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

That three-point margin of victory loomed large for the Raiders, especially with special teams mistakes.

A blocked punt in the third quarter led to the Broncos' go-ahead field goal to make it 10-7. With 4:30 left in the fourth quarter, Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson missed a 48-yard field goal that would have tied the game 10-10.

In the wake of that loss, the Raiders announced they fired special teams coordinator Tom McMahon.

"Earlier today, we made the tough decision to relieve Tom McMahon of his duties as special teams coordinator," coach Pete Carroll said in a team statement. "I have a great amount of respect for Tom and the work that he has done in this league, but we have decided to move in a different direction.

Thanks to her mom, Maya Hawke was more than prepared for her brief stint working with Quentin Tarantino.

The actress, who played a member of the Manson Family in *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*, recently reflected on her experience with the filmmaker during a chat on Amy Poehler's *Good Hang* podcast. At one point, Poehler pointed out that Hawke's mom, Uma Thurman, has starred in three of Tarantino's previous films and asked whether she gave her daughter any advice about working with him.

"'Keep your shoes on,'" Hawke replied, playfully addressing the speculation about Tarantino's supposed foot fetish. The response caught Poehler off guard.

"Keep your shoes on," the *Parks and Recreation *alum repeated, fighting back laughter. "Keep them on, baby. Are you gonna try-" Poehler and Hawke then burst into giggles, with the host momentarily speechless by Thurman's words. "Perfect advice," she eventually said. "Perfect."

Countless quips have been made about Tarantino's apparent obsession with feet, a theory about the filmmaker that is fueled by moments like the "wiggle your big toe" set piece in *Kill Bill*. Fans have found plenty of "evidence" within his other films, including *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*, which includes a few shots of bare feet. It got to a point where even the stars of Tarantino's films couldn't help but take a few shots at the director.

While accepting the award for Best Supporting Actor at the 2020 Screen Actors Guild, *Once Upon a Tim*e star Brad Pitt jokingly roasted the director for his foot shots. "I want to thank my co-stars," Pitt began, before rattling off the following list: Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Margot Robbie's feet, Margaret Qualley's feet, Dakota Fanning's feet. "Quentin has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA," he concluded.

'Kill Bill 3' with Uma Thurman's daughter Maya Hawke would be exciting, says Quentin Tarantino

For his part, Tarantino has brushed off the jokes, telling GQ in 2021, "I don't take it seriously." That said, the publication noted that he heaved "a sigh of disappointment that we would even think to ask such a thing," when the question of the supposed foot fetish was raised.

Tarantino added, "There's a lot of feet in a lot of good directors' movies. That's just good direction. Like, before me, the person foot fetishism was defined by was Luis Buñuel, another film director. And Hitchcock was accused of it, and Sofia Coppola has been accused of it."

As for Hawke's actual experience working with Tarantino, she has spoken highly of her time on set, though she only played a small role in the Oscar-winning film.

"It was wonderful," Hawke told* *in 2019. "Quentin is such a brilliant and enthusiastic filmmaker and director. His passion radiates through you. There are very few people who love movies as much as he does."**

She added that she's also had the pleasure of not just being directed by Tarantino but "knowing him." This is likely a reference to the fact that her mother has known the filmmaker for decades, after starring in *Pulp Fiction* and his duology,* Kill Bill: Volume I* and *Kill Bill: Volume II.*

The actress and filmmaker had a famously rocky relationship, which Thurman opened up about in a 2018 interview with *The New York Times*, where she shared that Tarantino pressured her into operating a car, which she had been warned was unstable. She said she eventually suffered an injury when she crashed the car. The filmmaker has called the crash "one of the biggest regrets of [his] life" and admitted that "a trust was broken" between them.

That same year, Thurman told EW that she has since forgiven Tarantino for the incident and even said she would be willing to work with him again "if he wrote a great part" for her.

"I understand him and if he wrote a great part and we were both in the right place about it, that would be something else," Thurman said. "We've had our fights over the years. When you know someone for as long as I've known him, 25 years of creative collaboration…yes, did we have some tragedies take place? Sure. But you can't reduce that type of history and legacy."**

Drew Barrymore and ex Luke Wilson's game of talk show phone tag wages ever onward. **

The 50-year-old actress tried to call up the actor to discuss the 27th anniversary of their rom-com *Home Fries* while sitting down with its writer Vince Gilligan on Tuesday's episode of *The Drew Barrymore Show*. However, the pair were eventually sent to voicemail. **

"This is not going the way I planned," Barrymore admitted as the dial tone rang out in the studio. "But what does in life, right?"

After being directed to Wilson's voicemail, the host told Gilligan that they'd leave him a message and see if he returned their call before the end of their chat. **

"We were just talking about you and we're sending you love and can you believe *Home Fries *was 27 years ago now? Oh my god, I know," Barrymore told Wilson. "I know this is just a voicemail, but I love you, I'm sending you love, and I'm here with Vince on the show and we're thinking about you." **

Thankfully, this time around, Barrymore didn't have to wait over two years to hear back from Wilson as he quickly called the pair back during a commercial break. "Hey, Drew!" he said. "Sorry, I was taking my trash cans out."

The 54-year-old actor went on to praise Gilligan and the "unbelievable" career that he's gone on to have in the years since they last worked together. ****"It's just so incredible to see what you went on and did after *Home Fries,*"* *he said. "Because sometimes I'll think about people I know like you and Mike Judge where you'll think, 'God, this guy's got so much talent, but he's also such a good guy that you think that, in a town like Hollywood, that can almost hurt you.'"

It's why Wilson explained he was "especially happy" to see Gilligan go on to create smash hits like *Breaking Bad*, *Better Call Saul,* and the 2019 *Breaking Bad* film, *El Camino*. "It's been incredible and just to have done it all as such a great writer, that's the first way we all met you is through your writing," he continued. "So it's unbelievable, what you did." **

"Oh, God bless you, man, Jesus," Gilligan responded. "I'm blushing here!"

Released in 1998, *Home Fries* follows Dorian (Wilson) as he gets a job at the local Burger-Matic to ensure that no one overheard him and his brother Angus (Jake Busey) scare their mom Beatrice's (Catherine O'Hara) cheating lover Henry (Chris Ellis) to death. It's there that he meets waitress Sally (Barrymore), who is pregnant with Henry's baby, and tries to keep the expectant mother safe from his homicidal family.

Wilson noted that he still remembers "those great days" on the *Home Fries* set. "I mean, for me it was especially fun to get to go back — it was only my second or third movie and I thought, 'Gosh, all movies get made in Texas!' It didn't work out that way."

That includes one evening when he and Busey had gone out for "a couple beers" after work and may have accidentally committed a federal offense along the way. ****"There was a train going through the town and Jake had a flashlight and he started acting like he was directing the train to keep going down the tracks," Wilson said. "And it turns out that's a federal offense, what we were doing, but we weren't doing anything bad. We were just acting like we were directing traffic, but with a locomotive, which we just thought was a great idea."**

Barrymore and Gilligan leaving a message for Wilson.

Barrymore understood. "That happens. Remember I got arrested for public urination with you?" she asked. To which Wilson laughed and replied, "I recall that."

"Well, we love you and I always love connecting with you on this show with people and I'm always so grateful that you're game," Barymore said. "You're just the best, Luke. Thank you."

Gilligan added, "Good talking to you, Luke! Have a good one!"

Barrymore has called Wilson, whom she dated from 1996 until 1998, multiple times on her talk show. It all started when she and Kate Hudson attempted to prank dial him in a 2023 episode, only to accidentally ring *another* Luke Wilson in her phonebook instead. Hudson, Barrymore, and the correct Wilson eventually connected over FaceTime this March, with Wilson cheekily noting that he'd keep the game going by getting his brother Owen involved, too.

- The user called the guest a "dumbass" before posting another clip of authorities arresting a man.

Six Flags America permanently closed Sunday, but the amusement park didn't go down without incident.

Atop reports that the Maryland-based destination's *Superman*-themed roller coaster shut down early for the final time due to a technical problem, another guest shared video footage of an attendee reportedly entering a restricted area to run up the stairs of the park's *Batman*-themed Batwing roller coaster — which closed in July over a mechanical issue.**

"Some dumbass just climbed batwing," a park guest wrote Sunday on X, sharing video of a guest running up the stairs of the 115-foot-tall roller coaster on the park's final operating day.

The same guest later shared another clip — which they claimed to show the same guest as the prior video — being arrested and escorted by authorities past the green track of the park's Joker's Jinx roller coaster (also themed to a DC Comics character).

In a longer video the user shared to YouTube, a group of people can be seen confronting the guest at the bottom of the lift hill's stairs.

"Safety is a cornerstone of our business, and we have zero tolerance for disruptive and unsafe behavior," a Six Flags spokesperson told * *via email. "On Sunday evening, a guest was stopped by park security and was arrested by Prince George's County Police for entering a restricted area."

EW has reached out to representatives for the local police for more information.

Opened in 2001, Batwing opened as one of several Flying Dutchman models from Dutch manufacturer Vekoma. This specific model flipped riders on their stomachs at great heights and through several inversions, with the experience simulating flight.

Before it closed in July following a piece of the train's cosmetic covering reportedly falling off mid-ride, Batwing was the final operating Flying Dutchman model in the world. Two others previously operated in Ohio (the now-closed Six Flags Worlds of Adventure's X-Flight was later relocated to the state's Kings Island park as Firehawk) and North Carolina (Nighthawk first opened as Stealth at California's Great America, before being shipped off to Carowinds). Kings Island shuttered Firehawk in 2018, while Nighthawk closed at Carowinds in December 2024.

Six Flags America first opened in 1974 as a drive-through wildlife preserve, before transforming into a major amusement park over the years. Six Flags acquired the park in 1998, with Cedar Fair — the company behind parks like Cedar Point, Knott's Berry Farm, and the aforementioned Carowinds and Kings Island — merging with Six Flags in July 2024 to form a super chain of attractions.

A specific reason wasn't given for closing Six Flags America, which operated just outside of Washington, D.C., though a public official said upon announcement of the park's closure in May that locals were working on potential plans for the 500-acre site, of which Six Flags America only occupied about 130 acres.

"For decades, Six Flags has been more than just a theme park—it is a cherished part of our county's identity, a source of joy for families, and a hub of economic activity," official Tara H. Jackson said of the site in May, per the Associated Press. "We are committed to working closely with Six Flags and other stakeholders to guide a thoughtful and inclusive redevelopment process that supports jobs, growth and long-term community benefit."

Among historic attractions at the park were Firebird, the first-ever roller coaster from iconic Swiss company Bolliger & Mabillard, as well as Wild One, a 108-year-old wooden roller coaster that was relocated from a park in Massachusetts after first opening there in 1917.
