Swiatek, warming up for the defence of her French Open title, claimed a 6-3, 6-2 win over 29th seed Pera for a sixth consecutive victory on clay this season. "I wouldn't say it was easy.

The Norway powerhouse scored a penalty in Manchester City's 2-1 win at Fulham on Sunday to move to 34 league goals -- level with the mark set by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. In the process the 22-year-old scored his 50th goal of the season for City in all competitions. The Norwegian's strike rate puts even his much-vaunted predecessors, who played in the era of 42-game seasons, in the shade. Shearer started all 42 matches of the 1994/95 season as he fired Blackburn to the title, while Cole made 40 appearances the previous year for Newcastle. Читать дальше...

Runaway league leaders Napoli needed to win to secure their third league crown with six games remaining in the season after Inter Milan beat closest challengers Lazio 3-1 earlier in the day.

However the coming midweek round of matches... Читать дальше...

The Pakistani national had recently handed in his passport to a government office, complicating any effort to leave, and his paltry stash of food and other supplies meant he would struggle to wait out the fighting at home. His solution finally came early Sunday morning when, after days of haggling with multiple Pakistani embassies, Faraj joined 51 other evacuees on a Saudi warship bound for Jeddah, clutching a special travel permit allowing him to fly home to Karachi. "I feel very privileged," the 48-year-old told AFP... Читать дальше...

Arnaud Nordin, a childhood friend of Kylian Mbappe from their time spent at France's Clairefontaine national youth academy, was the hero for Montpellier with two goals. Faitout Maouassa and English former Arsenal winger Stephy Mavididi also scored for the away side as they effectively secured survival by moving 11 points clear of the bottom four with five games remaining.

Larrazabal was among a handful of players who were forced to play the final few holes of the third round early on Sunday, after bad weather at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea in Incheon caused delays of more than two hours the previous day. The 39-year-old was able to clinch victory by two shots in a tight battle at the tournament, which saw the DP World Tour return to Korea for the first time in 10 years.

On April 30, 1993, Guenter Parche, an unemployed German with an unhealthy obsession with Graf, walked onto the court at Hamburg's Citizen Cup, where Seles was playing Magdalena Maleeva, carrying a boning knife. Parche plunged the knife between Seles's shoulder blades, later telling police he wanted to "hurt Seles so much that she couldn't play tennis for a long time." Christoph Werle, a scoreboard attendant at the tournament, told Germany's Welt on Saturday that the attack was "like a horror movie." "I screamed... Читать дальше...

Gooch pocketed $4 million for the victory in the city-state, the same amount he won in his breakthrough in Adelaide last week. The 31-year-old American had more reason to smile as his team RangeGoats cashed in $3 million for winning the team event.

But now Jacobus van Hoorne's house is the only one in the entire neighbourhood with a reed roof. And to get it approved he had to do battle for two years with the local authorities, culminating in having to set fire to a model thatched house to prove that his home wouldn't be a fire hazard. "You are practically not allowed to have reed roofs in Austria," said Van Hoorne. "You have to find a way around it, which took a long time." Buoyed up by his legal victory, the CERN particle physicist turned... Читать дальше...

Ahead of the French Cup Final at the Stade de France, President Emmanuel Macron shook hands with players in the tunnel before the game, under high security.

The 113th Drake event at Des Moines, Iowa, and the 127th Penn Relays in Philadelphia both saw athletes hampered by cool, rainy conditions.
