Paul Skenes strikes out seven in MLB debut as Pirates win

Paul Skenes’ stuff was as electric as advertised. A fastball that reached at least 100 mph 17 times. A slider that left major leaguers shaking their heads. An invention called a “splinker” that is a hybrid of a splitter and a sinker and dips and dives unlike any pitch anywhere in baseball. Yet even at age 21, the Pittsburgh Pirates rookie knows all the “oohs” and “ahs” and knee buckles a ball that at times seems to explode out of his right hand can produce won’t matter if he can’t control it. So while there were some positive takeaways from his major […]

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 […]

McLaren’s Norris says Miami GP win was a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’

Lando Norris stated he knew his first Formula One conquest was a matter of when, not if, and that he never shared the doubts of his harshest critics. Norris won at the Miami circuit which snakes around the outside of the Hard Rock Stadium, his first in 110 starts. Before Sunday he had the unenviable record of the most podium finishes without winning. The Englishman has for a long time been considered one of the sport’s most exciting talents but until Sunday had been unable to convert it to a victory.

Liverpool back on track with 4-2 win over hapless Spurs

Liverpool finally found some form in a 4-2 Premier League triumph over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in much-loved manager Juergen Klopp’s penultimate game at Anfield. Strikes from Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott secured a much needed victory for Klopp’s men, who had won one of their previous five league matches and seen their title challenge crumble. While still mathematically in with a chance finishing top of the pile, they are five points off leaders Arsenal in the table with two games left and four points behind holders Manchester City, who have a game in hand over both. “It was a disappointing few weeks where the results were not what we […]

Rafael Nadal cruises to straight-sets win over American teen

Rafael Nadal couldn’t learn much from his comfortable consecutive-sets victory over American teenager Darwin Blanch in the first round of the Madrid Open. Nadal cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 victory over mistake-prone 16-year-old Blanch on Thursday. “I didn’t test much my body today,” 37-year-old Nadal said. “I played a decent match doing the things that I had to do to be through, but at the same time I played against a player … making more mistakes.” Blanch, playing in only his second ATP tour match, made 27 unforced errors. Nadal never faced a break point and was in control from the start versus […]

Scottie Scheffler extends dominant run with RBC Heritage win

A Masters green jacket wasn’t enough for Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler was running on emotional fumes fresh off his four-shot triumph at Augusta National, but full of purpose that more than made up for his lack of preparation for the RBC Heritage. The result not only was similar, it has come to be expected. He rarely missed a shot. He gave little hope to those chasing him. And he walked away from Harbour Town on Monday morning with another victory that extended a dominance not seen since the peak years of Tiger Woods. “I didn’t show up here just to have some sort […]

Casper Ruud defeats Stefanos Tsitsipas to win Barcelona Open

Casper Ruud gained sweet revenge over Stefanos Tsitsipas as he defeated the Greek fifth seed 7-5, 6-3 to collect the Barcelona Open on Sunday. Just seven days after Tsitsipas thumped Ruud in consecutive sets to win the Monte Carlo Masters, it was the Norwegian third seed who came out on top in the latest battle between the two 25-year-olds as he secured a 10th ATP title on clay. “Honestly, this has been worth the wait,” Ruud stated after capturing the biggest title in his career, with all his previous triumphs being in ATP 250 tournaments. Looking for the best online betting site and […]

Casper Ruud into Barcelona quarters with tour-leading 26th win

Casper Ruud defeated Jordan Thompson in consecutive sets to earn his season-leading 26th win and secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the Barcelona Open on Thursday. The third-seeded Norwegian won 6-1, 6-4 to move one victory ahead of Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner in 2024. Ruud, ranked No. 6, is trying to reach his fourth final this year, having lost in Los Cabos, Acapulco and Monte Carlo. He will next face 40th-ranked Italian Matteo Arnaldi, who defeated Marco Trungelliti 6-3, 6-0 at the clay-court tournament. Fifth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas, the seventh-ranked Greek who defeated Ruud on Sunday to collect the Monte Carlo title, reached the last eight with a 7-5, […]

Rafael Nadal returns to play with first-round Barcelona win

Taking it easy after months away from competitive tennis, Rafael Nadal was good enough to earn a comfortable first-round victory at the Barcelona Open on Tuesday. Nadal looked injury-free in a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Flavio Cobolli to advance to the second round in his first tournament in more than three months. Nadal converted on his second match point to seal the victory over the 21-year-old Italian ranked 62nd in the world. The Spaniard will next face Alex de Minaur, who had a first-round bye. “Taking everything into consideration, it was a good first round,” Nadal said. “I played the kind of match that I […]

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 […]
