Murray starts 2024 season with first-round defeat in Brisbane

Andy Murray suffered a 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 defeat to second-seed Grigor Dimitrov in the first round of the Brisbane International on Monday, starting what could be his final season on a sour note. The three-time Grand Slam champion told the BBC ahead of the match — his first singles contest since October — that he would likely retire if he is “not enjoying” tennis this season, having won just two matches in his final five events last year as he struggled with shoulder and knee injuries, as well as an illness.

Devin Haney shuts out Regis Prograis, now 2-division champion

Devin Haney delivered a virtuoso performance to become a two-division champion in his first fight at 140 pounds, scoring a shutout decision over Regis Prograis on Saturday evening at Chase Center. All three judges scored the fight 120-107 for Haney, who captured Prograis’ WBC junior welterweight title. Haney also was the undisputed lightweight champion before vacating all four of his belts in late November. Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) earned every round Saturday night on the strength of precision punching, an excellent jab and ring generalship beyond his 25 years. He scored a knockdown in Round 3 with a sharp right hand and busted […]

Max Verstappen’s 2023 officially the most dominant F1 season ever

With his 17th victory of the Formula One season, Triple World Champion Max Verstappen became the most dominant driver in the history of the sport during a campaign. The greatest season win percentage, until this Sunday’s São Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos, was 75% for the late Italian champion Alberto Ascari, who won six of the eight world championship races with Ferrari in 1952. With 20 races under his belt, Verstappen’s percentage is at 85%. Should he lose the final two races of the season in Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi, he will still finish over 77%. When asked how […]

Tyson Fury survives knockdown, edges Francis Ngannou on points

In a shocking turn of events, Tyson Fury was forced to survive a third-round knockdown to eke past Francis Ngannou via split decision Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. One judge scored it 95-94 for Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, but was overruled by tallies of 96-93 and 95-94 for Fury. Fury’s WBC heavyweight title wasn’t on the line in the 10-round boxing match. Ngannou was making his pro boxing debut in his first fight since January 2022. England’s Fury was installed as a -1400 favorite to attain the match. He moves on to an undisputed heavyweight championship fight versus Oleksandr Usyk despite arguably his […]

Justin Gaethje willing to wait for crack at Islam Makhachev

Justin Gaethje considers the only unfinished business he has right now at lightweight is a title shot. The former UFC interim lightweight champion and BMF champion told ESPN on Wednesday that he will wait for as long as he has to if he does not get the next opportunity at titleholder Islam Makhachev. “Who do I fight?” Gaethje said. “There’s no one. I did what I had to do. … I don’t know what else I need to do.” Charles Oliveira, the former UFC lightweight champion, was scheduled to challenge Makhachev at UFC 294 last weekend. But Oliveira sustained a cut 12 days before […]

Thompson vows Warriors contract situation won’t be distraction this season

Klay Thompson is entering an important part of his NBA career. The four-time champion will play his 13th NBA season with the Warriors, which also happens to be a contract year for Thompson as he is set to be a free agent in 2024. Thompson is looking at this season with a clear mind, though, and guaranteed the pressure that comes with a contract year won’t be a distraction over the course of the season. “It’s not going to be a thing,” Thompson told The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. “The fact that I’m going into my 13th season — that alone — it gives me such peace […]

Defending champion Iga Swiatek bows out of US Open in Round 4

Iga Swiatek’s US Open title defense ended with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 loss to Jelena Ostapenko in the fourth round Sunday night. The loss also means Swiatek’s stay at No. 1 in the WTA rankings will end next week, when current No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka will rise to the top spot for the first time. “I don’t know why I played that bad,” Swiatek said. “I’m not happy with my performances on hard courts this year. But overall, I did a pretty good job at maintaining my level. I’m happy I’m going to have time to practice because I miss that.” Swiatek’s shots were […]
