Cameroon forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has extended his contract to stay another season at Bayern Munich.

The 33-year-old Choupo-Moting signed a one-year extension, Bayern said on Friday.

Choupo-Moting has helped Bayern adjust to the loss of Robert Lewandowski by scoring 15 times across all competitions so far.

He initially joined Bayern in September 2020 as a backup to Lewandowski and has since compensated for the Polish star’s departure to Barcelona by scoring more goals this season already than in his previous two for Bayern.

Choupo-Moting has 33 in 82 games across all competitions for the Bavarian powerhouse.

"We're very pleased that Choupo will be staying with us for another year,” Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić said.

Choupo-Moting previously played for Paris Saint-Germain, Stoke City, Schalke and Mainz, after coming through hometown clubs Hamburger SV, St. Pauli, Altona 93 and Teutonia Ottensen.

The Hamburg-born Choupo-Moting has 20 goals in 77 games for Cameroon.

Defending champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, who both top the tennis rankings, led 10 former winners of the US Open who were on the entry lists for this year's tournament that were announced Tuesday.

The fields include 18 past Grand Slam singles champions, the US Tennis Association said.

Direct entry into the final major tournament of the tennis season was based on the rankings through July 14. The cutoff was at No. 101 for the men and No. 99 for the women.

Sinner earned his fourth Grand Slam title when he beat No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final. Sabalenka lost in the semifinals to Amanda Anisimova, who at No. 7 is one of four American women ranked in the top 8.

The US led all countries with 30 players (16 women, 14 men) earning direct entry.

Players who used a special or protected ranking to qualify included Nick Kyrgios, Petra Kvitova and Sorana Cirstea.

Play in the main draw begins Aug. 24.
