Kyrgios survived three match points to beat top-seeded Nadal 3-6, 7-6 (7/2), 7-6 (8/6) on Wednesday and reach the quarter-finals. However, 17-time major winner Nadal was furious with Kyrgios who at one stage complained of being sick, served underarm late in the match before cupping his ear to the boos of the crowd at the conclusion of the second round tie. “He is a player with huge talent and could be winning Grand Slams or fighting for the number one ranking,” said Nadal....

The Belgium international has been linked with a move to England on a regular basis in recent years, with Manchester United also reported to be among his many suitors. No deal has been done, though, despite Chelsea having rekindled their interest on the back of a Premier League title triumph in 2017. Nainggolan admits that inclement conditions led to him opting to stay put, with there now no chance of him walking away from Roma....

O’Hara’s poem is maybe the best try I’ve ever seen to capture the difference between life as we all know it and life in the tabloids, where celebrities seem to do all kinds of things, like collapsing, that most of us just never get the chance to try. Not that you’d want to—all those exclamation points following your every deed. Adrienne Shelly, 40, of course, suffered a terrible fate in no way commensurate with an actress’s collapse....

After Trump’s provocative tweet over the prospect of winning Time’s Man of the Year award, former world number one Murray went and won the Internet for the day, to compensate for lack of recent silverware. With the same mix of authority and intellect he displays from the baseline, three-time grand slam champion Murray – sidelined with injury – responded emphatically. Well, Murray did not technically respond. He sub-tweeted, but it was nevertheless dazzling....

World number one Murray advanced with a straightforward 6-3 6-2 6-2 win over German Dustin Brown on Wednesday. Awaiting him is Fognini, who won their most recent meeting in Rome earlier this year and has three victories from six matches between the pair. The Italian has never been beyond the third round in London, but Murray knows what the 30-year-old is capable of. “I think he’s always dangerous. He’s a shot maker and he’s very solid off his forehand and backhand side, but he can also hit winners from both sides,” he said....

N Sync Don’t expect any radical departures from Boy Band No. 2. On “No Strings Attached,” we boldly predict R&B flavor, unfettered harmonizing and several songs with “girl,” “need” or “heart” in the title. (Nov.) Vivaldi: The Four Seasons With Anne-Sophie Mutter playing and conducting, there’s nothing old about this war horse. The violinist delivers the thunder and chills with abandon. (Nov.) Barbra Streisand With “A Love Like Ours,” Babs serves up songs of amore–her first new batch in 11 years....

As game companies with football titles on the market are wont to do this time of year, the folks behind Mutant Football League have simulated this year’s Big Game™ with their game - and if it’s anything to go by, the New England Patriots are going to pull out a close one. Of course, there will probably be a lot fewer explosions and decapitations in the actual game. In this nail-biter (almost literally in this case) of a game, MFL’s version of the Patriots, the Nuked London Hatriots pulled off a last-minute win against L....

Man Utd confident of Morata deal Referees will have the power to halt, suspend and even abandon matches should instances of racism occur during the tournament, with trained observers to be deployed in support of the initiative. Speaking at a media conference to mark the opening of the event, Mutko was questioned on reports of far-right behaviour and racism during Russian Premier League matches. “We are grateful to FIFA, [it is] with great satisfaction we have welcomed this decision and [hope] that the system which will be strict,” he said....

Pat McAfee then took a group selfie with Dunne, Burch, and Lorcan and told his companions to smile if they think that they are the greatest group of four men in wrestling history and claimed that they were here to wipe out the Undisputed Era. WWE then quote-tweeted the same phrase made by McAfee along with the photo of him and his companions. RAW Superstar MVP, who also happens to be the leader of another four-man group in the form of The Hurt Business, took exception to this and made a sarcastic response....

The group comprised of Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and Cedric Alexander, with MVP serving as the manager. The members had a falling out prior to WrestleMania 37, with The All Mighty announcing that The Hurt Business was over. They had a brief union last year during Lashley’s feud with The New Day. With Triple H as the new Head of Creative, speculation has been rife that the seemingly popular group can reunite....

My Hero Academia has been no stranger to various controversies over the years. It goes without saying that the franchise has been a smash hit since the mid-2010s. Its massive popularity can be attributed to Kohei Horikoshi’s character designs and unique superpowers. However, when a series gets this much attention, certain problems will almost always arise. Not everybody will agree with the particular direction that Horikoshi takes. My Hero Academia has attracted a very passionate fanbase that loves to argue about incidences in the series in the slightest provocation....

Note: There will be manga spoilers up to My Hero Academia Chapter 364 and this article reflects the writer’s personal views. Bakugo is a deeply layered character, but very few people attempt to understand him fully. All they see is a furious boy with a fierce competitive streak. However, some know what he truly stands for in My Hero Academia. For that reason, they are willing to risk their lives for him....

RELATED: My Hero Academia: The Parallels Between Shigaraki And Dabi This allowed him to plan for his restoration to power and he has now accomplished that, albeit temporarily. In the Final War arc, All For One was able to revert to his old form and temporarily turn back the clock on his body. He is now in his prime state and, as expected, is much stronger than ever before with powers that he didn’t have access to until now....

Depending on my mood, the answer can be a three-part speech on the decay of moral values, educational-attainment levels and teenage motherhood. Other times I simply tell them the defendants put themselves in the penitentiary and I facilitated their exodus from the community. Or better yet, my favorite answer: I didn’t put the crack in their pocket and a gun in the other. It’s difficult to combat the impression that somehow I am personally persecuting these men and not performing a public function of law enforcement....

Like many brilliant ideas, the creation of my cancer skirt was born out of adversity, and the frame of mind one finds oneself in while sitting on one’s deck on a sunny June morning, having just been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. The doorbell rang. It was the UPS man, delivering a denim skirt I had ordered days before I had discovered the lump. I opened the package, took it out of the box, and the proverbial light bulb went off in my head....

It’s not that I have anything against women keeping their names. It’s just my name, Schmelling. Look at it. It contains 10 letters, 8 of them consonants. It has ready-made playground insults an average third grader could decipher in two seconds, it makes telemarketers gasp and, for reasons I’ve never been able to fathom, as it’s really just “smelling” with a “shh” at the start, there’s still a 90 percent likelihood it won’t be pronounced correctly outside of the Midwest or Northern Europe....

The military junta, or Tatmadaw, is now in charge of who can mine for jade and is able to hand out jade mining permits, said Keel Dietz, one of the report’s authors, to the Associated Press. The junta’s full control of the country’s lucrative and conflict-ridden jade mining provides it with profits and leverage for consolidating power, the report said. Global Witness and other groups want stronger sanctions to be imposed on Myanmar’s military....

The Browns were crushed by Bill Belichick and the Patriots on Sunday, 45-17. It’s the latest turn in a wishy-washy season for Cleveland, that’s fallen very short of expectations so far. After a 3-1 start, they’re 2-4 in their last six as the defensive efforts have flip-flopped between pretty good and very, very bad. Garrett, though, is cutting through the noise and delivering an off-the-field sack — on his coaching staff....

Angels phenom Shohei Ohtani is in the process of doing things that baseball hasn’t seen in 100 years, and should he stay healthy, could be in for one of the greatest, if not the greatest single-season individual performance in the sport’s history. Given the nature of the NFL, two-way players are essentially non-existent. But Ravens lineman Calais Campbell believes that his former Jaguars teammate Myles Jack could not only be a two-way player, but be a two-way player that could “dominate” like Ohtani does....
