Stefanos Tsitsipas overwhelmed by Monte Carlo title win

Stefanos Tsitsipas swept aside Casper Ruud 6-1, 6-4 on Sunday to win the clay-court Monte Carlo Masters for the third time in four years and then wept in his chair. Tsitsipas sat holding his head in his hands, briefly crying as he took in his first title of the year and biggest tournament victory in two years. “I’m very proud of myself today. I had been waiting for a moment like this for a long time,” said the 12th-ranked Tsitsipas, who reached a career-high No. 3 ranking in 2021. “I did not know what was going to happen this week.” The big-serving Greek […]

Max Holloway wins BMF with last-second KO of Justin Gaethje

The BMF title is not a real championship, but Max Holloway did the gimmick proud on Saturday night with an explosive last-second knockout of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in Las Vegas. Holloway (26-7), a former featherweight champion competing at lightweight in this fight, was in control from the start, with faster hands and elusive footwork that made it difficult for Gaethje (25-5) to find him. For Gaethje, the defending BMF belt holder, the fight became increasingly difficult after Holloway connected with a spinning back kick to the face right before the horn to end Round 2. The kick busted up Gaethje’s nose, and […]

‘Error’ led to extra time on clock in Lakers win vs. Grizzlies

More than a minute of extra game time was added to the clock in the third quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 123-120 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, an NBA spokesperson confirmed to ESPN. “We have confirmed that the game clock was inaccurately set in the third quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers-Memphis Grizzlies game last night at FedEx Forum,” league spokesperson Tim Frank said in a statement Saturday. “After a shot clock violation, the clock was set at 2:20 when it should have been at 1:14. The error was not noticed in real time by the teams, the referees, the […]

A-Rod, Lore eyed Wolves payroll cuts, concerning Taylor

As part of a failed process to assume majority ownership, Minnesota Timberwolves minority partners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez submitted financial projections forecasting a sizable retreat in roster payroll that majority owner Glen Taylor considered would jeopardize the franchise’s ability to compete for a championship, sources told ESPN. In documents shared with Taylor, the NBA and The Carlyle Group, a private equity firm, Lore and Rodriguez rendered a budget projection as potential majority owners that would’ve lowered the Timberwolves’ payroll to $171 million starting next season — below the projected $172 million luxury tax threshold, sources told ESPN. The Timberwolves would’ve gone […]

Djokovic tops Musetti, Khachanov upsets Medvedev in Monte Carlo

Novak Djokovic looked sluggish at times and hit several unforced errors, but he raised his game on important points to move on to the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters on Thursday. The top-ranked Serb, a two-time Monte Carlo champion, gained revenge over Lorenzo Musetti, who defeated him last year at the Country Club in the third round. Djokovic converted five of six break points and progressed with a confidence-boosting 7-5, 6-3 win. “I lost to him last year here. Similar circumstances,” said Djokovic, who is playing in his first tournament since parting ways with former coach Goran Ivanisevic. “I was a […]

Browns, Nick Chubb rework deal to keep RB in Cleveland

Nick Chubb’s uncertain future has prompted the Cleveland Browns to negotiate an adjusted contract with the star running back. Chubb and the Browns have agreed to a reworked deal to lower his base salary of $11.75 million with the chance to earn it back via incentives, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Thursday, per sources.

Fowler wins Par 3 Contest after 3-year absence from Masters

Rickie Fowler has returned to the Masters after a three-year absence, and already he’s been able to lift up a trophy. The question now is whether that will cost him an opportunity to slip on a jacket. Fowler won the traditional Par 3 Contest at Augusta National on Wednesday, making his way around what many consider the most picturesque piece of the property in 5-under par. That was good for a two-stroke victory over Sepp Straka, J.T. Poston and Santiago De La Fuente, and earn Fowler the glittering crystal bowl that goes to the winner. Yet nobody has won the Par 3 Contest and the […]

Fury warns he could beat Usyk after ’15 pints’ as fight looms

Tyson Fury stated he could defeat Oleksandr Usyk with no training and after “sinking 15 pints of Peroni” the night before in a news conference on Wednesday ahead of their title fight next month. WBC champion Fury and Usyk, who holds the IBF, WBA and WBO straps, will fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. While Fury praised Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) as a great champion at cruiserweight level, he said the step up will prove too much when they clash in just over a month’s time. “I think if I didn’t train at […]
