Novak Djokovic said he was as prepared as he could be for the US Open as he attempts to take advantage of the wide-open men’s draw and battle for a potential 25th grand slam title.Djokovic arrived in New York having competed only once after his semi-final run at Wimbledon, losing in his opening match of the Cincinnati Open to Thiago Agustín Tirante while struggling with the humidity. However, he now sees the silver lining in that defeat, which he believes gave him the time to make sure he was in optimal shape for the US Open. “I don’t like early…

TNA is getting ripped by fans again over Leon Slater, this time after viewers using MyAEW were unable to watch his match at RevPro’s 14 Year Anniversary Show. While Slater was wrestling Liam Slater, MyAEW viewers were reportedly shown a lengthy video package instead—and fans immediately blamed TNA for blocking the match. Leon was the only TNA-contracted wrestler on the RevPro show on August 29, which made his match suddenly disappearing from the MyAEW broadcast stand out even more. Instead of Slater vs. Slater, viewers were given roughly 15 minutes of other RevPro content while the match took place. That…

Liverpool view Gakpo as a proven multi-functional Premier League attacker and he has shown that with a goal and an assist in their first two games this season.But all summer, the understanding has been that if the club bring in the attacking players they want, they would not stand in the way of Gakpo if a solid offer came in. Given how late in the transfer window the talks are taking place between Liverpool and Manchester City, the Anfield side will now consider the situation before sanctioning any move. Liverpool are also hoping to bring in another winger before deadline…

Mercedes Martinez was set to finish her in-ring career at the end of 2026. As fate would have it though, it is ending early due to a torn ACL. On Aug. 15 in a match against Allie Katch, Martinez’s knee gave out. “We are just about three-quarters of the way into this Last Run Tour, and about two weeks ago, I injured my knee in a match against Allie Katch for 2CW, August 15th. Two doctors later, an MRI later, the prognosis is torn ACL. For most, it’s probably not a career-ending injury but for me, it is. So I…

Despite producing a famous rearguard effort in the first-Test victory at Ellis Park, New Zealand boss Dave Rennie warned in the week his side would need to “go deeper” to cope with the inevitable Springbok backlash.That South African onslaught came from the off.Hooker Deon Fourie, at nearly 40 the oldest Springbok in history, found his target in the line-out, the South African maul powered into the 22, and lightning fast ball led to centre Jesse Kriel crashing over.Kolbe added the extras as the world champions made the dream start.But despite the fast start from the hosts, New Zealand grew into…

Liverpool’s first two games of the season have finished 2-2 despite Iraola’s side enjoying 60% of possession against Newcastle last week and 70% against Forest.In both games, they have found themselves trailing and are yet to be ahead in the Premier League this season.That has inevitably made things trickier for Isak, who was such a force in a counter-attacking Newcastle side. Against low blocks, the proposition is different.It is also symptomatic of a wider issue Iraola faces.Last season, his Bournemouth side won just four of the 19 Premier League games in which they had the majority of possession. They won…

Alisson: Well beaten for Dan Ndoye’s goal but made a superb save to deny Igor Jesus on the brink of half-time and keep Liverpool in the game. Poor penalty to give away for Gibbs-White’s winner. 5Jeremie Frimpong: Struggled defensively but got into some good positions going forward. Did really well in the build-up to Florian Wirtz’s disallowed goal but was just offside. Has to improve consistency with his end delivery. 6Jeremy Jacquet: Made a goal-saving challenge to deny Igor Jesus an early goal and was impressive but still had a few moments where he was slack and lacked discipline. 6Virgil…

Britain’s US Open hopefuls thought they had put the grass behind them when Wimbledon finished, but the smell of it is all around Flushing Meadows and they are not happy about it.Marijuana is legal for adults in New York and while smoking is not allowed on site, the aroma of weed wafts over some outside courts from the nearby Corona Park.Katie Boulter, the British No 1, said: “Yeah, I have experienced it. You go down to the practice courts and down in the park courts, you do smell it a lot. But, yeah, I’m not a huge fan of it.…
