Pep Guardiola takes blame for Man City’s loss in FA Cup final

Pep Guardiola has taken the blame for Manchester City’s FA Cup final loss by saying he got his game-plan wrong versus Manchester United. United won 2-1 at Wembley on Saturday thanks to goals from teenagers Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo. City missed a number of opportunities in the second half before Jérémy Doku pulled a late goal back, but Guardiola insisted afterwards the defeat was his fault. “For my decisions, we were not in the right positions to attack them,” Guardiola told a news conference. “My mistake. My game plan was not good. Tactically, it was not good. I was not good, today.” Looking for the best […]

American Tommy Paul upsets Daniil Medvedev at Italian Open

Defending champion Daniil Medvedev became the latest top player to crash out of the Italian Open as he lost to American Tommy Paul on Tuesday. The 14th-seeded Paul dominated to triumph 6-1, 6-4. The opener lasted just 28 minutes as Medvedev’s serve was broken three times by Paul, who then served out the set to love. Medvedev improved slightly in the second set when he broke immediately but Paul broke straight back and never looked back, securing his spot in the quarterfinals when Medvedev sent a backhand long.

Rafael Nadal rallies for first-round win at Italian Open

For a brief stretch on Thursday, Rafael Nadal looked every bit of a weary 37-year-old player nearing retirement. Struggling to produce pace off both sides with his groundstrokes, committing an uncharacteristically high number of unforced errors and unable to stay in rallies, Nadal dropped the first set of his first-round match at the Italian Open against Belgian qualifier Zizou Bergs. Then the fist-pumping, virtually-unbeatable-on-clay, 22-time Grand Slam champion version of Nadal emerged, and the Spaniard rallied for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 triumph before an adoring crowd in what will likely be his final tournament at the Foro Italico. Nadal was playing only his […]

Astros’ Alvarez 3rd player with two 460-foot-plus HRs in game

Before the first of two games in Mexico City, Houston Astros manager Joe Espada stated he hoped that the trip could help them solve their offensive struggles. Apparently, it worked. Yordan Alvarez hit two home runs, Kyle Tucker added a solo shot and the Houston Astros defeated the Colorado Rockies 12-4 on Saturday night in the MLB World Tour: Mexico City Series to snap a five-game losing streak. Alvarez hit a two-run homer to center field and Tucker followed with a shot to left field and the Astros took a 4-2 lead in the third. Alvarez hit his seventh home run of the season in the ninth […]

Sixers’ Tyrese Maxey edges Coby White as NBA’s most improved

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey was named the NBA’s most improved player Tuesday night, defeating out Chicago Bulls guard Coby White and Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun. Maxey, 23, had a breakthrough season with the Sixers, averaging career highs in points (25.9), rebounds (3.7), assists (6.2), steals (1.0) and 3-pointers made (212). He also became an All-Star for the first time as he transitioned into playing point guard full-time following James Harden being traded to the LA Clippers. “I have had to take different steps,” Maxey stated during an interview with TNT before the Minnesota Timberwolves played the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of their first-round series Tuesday night, when he was presented with the award. “In […]

Sei Young Kim takes first-round lead in T-Mobile Match Play

Sei Young Kim took advantage of ideal playing conditions Wednesday, shooting a 6-under 66 in the opening round of the T-Mobile Match Play. Las Vegas-area residents Danielle Kang and Rose Zhang, making the best use of not having to go on the road, were each just a stroke behind. Top-ranked Nelly Korda has some work to do to extend her three-tournament winning streak after shooting a 73. Lorena Ochoa, in 2008, was the last LPGA Tour player to collect four in a row. The top 65 players plus ties after the first two days will advance to the third round […]

Dimitrov beats top seed Alcaraz in straight sets in Miami quarterfinals

Eleventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov came out strong versus top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz on Thursday night and won 6-2, 6-4 in the Miami Open quarterfinals, his first victory over a top-five player in nearly five years. Fourth-seeded Alexander Zverev, who defeated unseeded Fabian Marozsan 6-3, 7-5, will play Dimitrov in the semifinals Friday. Second-seeded Jannik Sinner will face No. 3 Daniil Medvedev in the other semifinal, a rematch of last year’s final that Medvedev won. Alcaraz, the 2022 champion, entered this tournament off a victory over Medvedev at Indian Wells. But the world’s second-ranked player had trouble finding his game versus Dimitrov and became visibly frustrated numerous times in the first set. Looking for the […]

Anhelina Kalinina rallies to upset Caroline Wozniacki at Miami Open

Anhelina Kalinina was down and almost out Thursday with former top-ranked player Caroline Wozniacki one point away from winning in consecutive sets at the Miami Open. But the No. 32-seeded Ukrainian saved that match point and won the last five games of the second set before taking the third in a 5-7, 7-5, 6-4 triumph in the second round. Wozniacki, who won the Australian Open in 2018 and retired from tennis at the same tournament two years later, returned to the sport last year. She had two children during her time away from the game. Wozniacki reached the quarterfinals in Indian Wells this […]

Jayson Tatum scored 31 points on Wednesday night to help the Boston Celtics collect their seventh game in a row, taking advantage of the absence of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks 122-119.
