Majors record makes Novak Djokovic best in history, Nadal says

Rafael Nadal’s most recent Grand Slam victory came at the French Open in 2022, and with Novak Djokovic having overtaken his mark for most major titles in men’s tennis, the Spanish player conceded that his rival is the best player in history. Djokovic’s recent victory at the US Open, his third Grand Slam title this year, took his tally to 24 majors, two ahead of Nadal’s total. “I believe that numbers are numbers and statistics are statistics. In that sense, I think he [Djokovic] has better numbers than mine and that is indisputable,” Nadal said in an interview with AS published Wednesday. […]

Andy Murray (abdominal strain) withdraws from Cincinnati Open

Andy Murray pulled out of the Cincinnati Open late Monday with an abdominal strain. The 36-year-old keeps recovering from the injury as he prepares to compete in the US Open that starts later this month in New York. Cincinnati is among some of the tournaments that players view as tune-ups for the Open. Murray withdrew from last week’s Canadian Open before his round-of-16 clash with eventual champion Jannik Sinner due to the strain. He first felt the injury after spending nearly five hours on court in triumphs over Lorenzo Sonego and Max Purcell. Looking for the best online betting site and Live betting? Visit Heritage Sports!

Bengals RB Trayveon Williams carted off with ankle injury

Trayveon Williams, one of the contenders to be the Cincinnati Bengals’ top backup running back, left Tuesday’s practice on a cart after suffering a right ankle injury. Following the departure of Samaje Perine in free agency, Williams was in the mix to become the team’s top reserve option behind starter Joe Mixon. After Tuesday’s practice, Bengals coach Zac Taylor stated he didn’t have any immediate updates on Williams’ status and that the team would continue to gather more information. However, Taylor praised Williams’ growth since the team drafted him in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL draft. “He’s always been a guy that’s […]

Aaron Judge faces live pitching for 1st time since toe injury

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge faced live pitching on Sunday for the first time since tearing a ligament in his right toe on June 3. In a simulated match versus Jonathan Loaisiga, who is rehabbing from right elbow surgery, Judge saw 16 pitches. He did not put any balls in play but fouled off four pitches, including one to the upper deck behind home plate. “To be able to take pitches where your swing says no, those are tests that he’s got to go through in working his way back,” manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees concluded a three-game series with […]

Yankees’ Aaron Judge out after banging toe during wild catch

Aaron Judge was out of the New York Yankees’ starting lineup on Sunday, one day after penetrating the right-field gate at Dodger Stadium to turn in a phenomenal over-the-shoulder catch late in Saturday’s triumph. Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated Judge’s right foot, mostly in the area of his big toe, was too sore to play. Judge “seemed a little bit better this afternoon,” Boone added, but keeping him out of the lineup for the series finale versus the Los Angeles Dodgers allows them to take advantage of Monday’s off day and give Judge back-to-back days off his feet. Asked if he thinks Judge might […]

Emma Raducanu withdraws from Madrid Open with hand injury

Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu withdrew from the Madrid Open shortly before she was due on court to play Viktoriya Tomova in the first round Wednesday. The 20-year-old British player cited an injury to her right hand as the motive for her withdrawal. It is the latest setback for Raducanu, who has struggled for form and fitness since her fairy-tale run to the title at Flushing Meadows in 2021 as an 18-year-old qualifier. She lost in the first round in Miami and Stuttgart, and by missing Madrid, she will likely fall outside the top 100 in the WTA rankings for the first time […]

Mets star closer Edwin Diaz says he hopes to return this season

New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz has not ruled out returning before the end of the campaign, saying his injured knee is progressing well.

[The doctors] are really happy, […]

Rafael Nadal to skip Monte Carlo Masters, nursing hip injury

Rafael Nadal will miss next week’s Monte Carlo Masters tournament having failed to recover in time from an injury that has sidelined him for months, he stated Tuesday, shortly before top-10 players Carlos Alcaraz and Felix Auger-Aliassime also pulled out of the tournament. Nadal was forced to skip the Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells last month as well as the Miami Open that ended last week, as he continues his recovery from a hip issue that ended his Australian Open title defense in the second round in January. “Unfortunately I am still not ready to compete and will miss one of those special tournaments […]

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman suffered a minor hamstring injury Tuesday while playing for Canada in the World Baseball Classic. Freeman left the game versus Colombia in the fourth inning after feeling tightness in his hamstring during an at-bat in the previous inning. Canada manager Ernie Witt stated Freeman, who was not in the lineup Wednesday against Mexico, is out of the WBC “for now.” “He’s out of this tournament for now,” Witt told reporters, according to the Los Angeles Times. “The Dodgers decided that.
