Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open, the tournament announced on Sunday.
After consulting with my doctors and my team, I have to announce that I need to withdraw from the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati," Sinner said in a statement with the Cincinnati Open's press release.
"My right knee has been bothering me and even though we have been working hard with my medical team, I have to accept that I'm not ready to compete yet," he added.
The Cincinnati Open begins this week on Aug. 11 with the finals scheduled for Aug. 23. That's one week before the singles draw begins for the US Open, which could put Sinner's availability for that Grand Slam tournament, which he won in 2024, into question.
This story will be updated with more information.

Yankees' Cam Schlittler Has Red Sox Realization That Will Make Boston Fans Laugh originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
It's been an extremely impressive second half for the Boston Red Sox, but the same can't be said for the New York Yankees.
The Yankees, who have played well throughout the year at 65-51, are only a half-game ahead of Boston at the moment. About a month and a half ago, there was a strong argument to be made that the Red Sox should have moved on from every top player on their roster who had value and was a veteran, meaning New York didn't seem to worry about them too much.
However, that hasn't been the case any longer, as both teams are right in the mix to not only make the playoffs, but impact each other heavily by stealing a wild-card spot or winning the division instead of the other one.
That's something a New York youngster has understood, adding that Boston playing this well should motivate the Yankees.

Ronald Araujo's imminent loan move to Liverpool has reshaped Barcelona's transfer plans almost overnight.
The Uruguayan centre-back has reached a verbal agreement to join the Premier League side on loan for the upcoming season, with the deal also including a purchase option for the Reds.
It is an unexpected departure, and one that has prompted Deco and Barcelona's sporting department to reassess the market in search of a replacement for a position that, until now, had not been considered a priority.
With Araujo heading to Anfield, Cristian Romero has once again emerged as one of Barcelona's leading defensive targets, reports SPORT.
The Argentine international has been admired by the club for some time thanks to his aggressive defending, competitive mentality and ability to play on the front foot.

Liverpool's search for defensive reinforcements continues to gather pace, and Djed Spence is increasingly becoming a name that refuses to disappear from the conversation. The Tottenham full back enjoyed an impressive campaign before enhancing his reputation on the international stage, leaving Liverpool with another important decision as Andoni Iraola reshapes his squad.
Recruitment rarely revolves around one outstanding tournament. Clubs invest months, sometimes years, in building profiles on players before deciding whether circumstances make a move worthwhile. In Spence's case, there appears to be enough evidence across club and international football to justify serious consideration.
Liverpool's interest in Djed Spence makes sense for several reasons. His ability to operate comfortably on either flank offers valuable flexibility, something every elite squad now prioritises across a demanding campaign.
Last season, Spence featured 23 times in the Premier League for Tottenham and added another eight appearances in the Champions League. More importantly, he demonstrated that he could adapt to different tactical demands while maintaining his athleticism and defensive discipline.
His performances earned him an England call up for the 2026 World Cup under Thomas Tuchel, an opportunity that further underlined how far his stock has risen.

Clev Lubin's sack celebrations are a mixed bag.
Louisville's senior defensive lineman uses each as an added element of entertainment for spectators and has been known to have a few at his disposal: rolling dice — signifying how he bets on himself — and the "Karate Kid" crane kick pose are just a couple.
But the one that means the most and will be seen the most this season pays homage to his Haitian heritage. Lubin combines the popularized Superman move (pretending to rip open one's shirt in the chest area) with throwing up the "Z" (the two thumbs connect with one palm facing him and the other turned backwards).
Lubin did it so much at practices during his time at Army that one teammate, who was also Haitian, referred to him as "Zuperman" instead of Superman. He debuted the combination move at Iowa Western Community College and brought it two years later to Louisville, where he led the team in sacks, tackles for loss and forced fumbles in his Cardinals debut.
"When I went to JUCO, I started doing the celebration, so that's just stuck with me," Lubin said. "That's kind of my little thing right there."

Ahead of Wednesday's semi-final against Portuguese side Torreense, coach Isaac Guerrero and captain Martina Rosucci spoke.

We're Juventus, so we will always play to win. The Champions League is one of our goals, and the draw isn't a simple one, but we want to show our worth.

Tarik Skubal turned in the Old English D for Dodger blue.
The former Detroit Tigers ace, traded Saturday night to the Los Angeles Dodgers for three prospects, met his new teammates Sunday, as the Dodgers wrapped up a series in which they were swept by the Boston Red Sox. The Dodgers shared Skubal's arrival on social media, opening with Skubal's familiar No. 29 hanging in a locker, only it was the Dodgers' home white jersey.
Tarik, meet your new teammates! pic.twitter.com/BSoWUNPsJv
The video briefly follows Skubal entering the Dodgers' clubhouse, with the lefthander exchanging handshakes and hugs with his news teammates, and ends with Skubal embracing Dodgers manager Dave Roberts in the dugout.
"You looking good in the Dodger blue," Roberts says.

Amid all the noise around ******* nal's pursuit of a big-money left-wing signing, Christos Tzolis' arrival from Club Brugge hasn't generated nearly as much interest as it otherwise might have.
But the Greek winger has made a very solid start to pre-season with the Gunners, providing an ******* ist in a behind-closed-doors friendly against MK Dons, before scoring in another friendly away to Girona on Saturday.
The 24-year-old looked very sharp, perhaps aided by the fact he'd already played a pre-season game for Brugge even before joining ******* nal. He's a little ahead of his new teammates in his preparation, and he's taking full advantage of that at the moment.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live THIS MORNING (Sat., Aug. 1, 2026) with UFC Belgrade, streaming live online via Paramount+. The event happens inside Beogradska Arena in Belgrade, Serbia. This is the promotion's first-ever trip to the Balkans. Uros Medic vs. Daniel Rodriguez serves as our main event today.
Medic — from nearby Novi Sad, Serbia — gets his first UFC main event slot here. He's earned it with blistering finishes over Geoff Neal (see that here), Muslim Salikhov (that one here) and Gilbert Urbina (re-live that here). The combined time of those fights is less than four minutes. Rodriguez, meanwhile, is coming off a grueling win over Kevin Holland; however, he's been held out for sometime because of legal issues (which saw him stuck in a Mexican jail for eight months).
The co-main event is Jan Blachowicz vs. Navajo Stirling. Blachowicz was scheduled to face Bogdan Guskov, before Guskov was needed in Abi Dhabi last weekend. Stirling comes in on short notice, just a month removed from his win over Ion Cutelaba.
The rest of the main card is a "Balkans vs. The World" theme with Aleksandar Rakic vs. Marcin Tybura, Dusko Todorovic vs. Robert Valentin, Vlasto Cepo vs. Gilbert Urbina and Milos Janicic vs. Noah Gugnon.
The "Prelims" are headlined by Ludovit Klein vs. Tofiq Musayev. Mateusz Rebecki (a walking "Fight of the Night") also makes an appearance. He's facing Kyle Prepolec. Other notable fights on the undercard include Oban Elliott vs. Michael Oliveira and Bogdan Grad vs. Dennis Buzukja.

GENEVA (AP) — Gianni Infantino truly looked the "King of Soccer," as U.S. President Donald Trump likes to call him, as the two allies sat together watching the World Cup final less than two weeks ago.
Sure, there were some boos inside MetLife Stadium near New York, when the two men walked across the turf to present the trophy and medals to Spain and Argentina players on July 19.
Still, that 104th and final game capped a biggest-ever tournament seen as a vindication for the FIFA president — a consensus success on the field and a financial bonanza for global soccer. Infantino could look ahead to his likely re-election coronation next March.
The sunny scene must now feel an age ago since Infantino caused a seismic rift in global soccer.
The intensifying fallout might shockingly cost the 56-year-old Infantino a job in which he seemed untouchable until this week.

Scotland's Melanie Woods has won the Commonwealth Games women's 1500m T54 for the second time in under 40 hours after streaking to victory in the restaged final - however England's Ellis Kottas could not replicate her silver medal.
Woods set a new Games record to triumph in Glasgow on Wednesday evening, but it emerged on Thursday morning that Para-athletics authorities had decided the race should be held again following appeals surrounding a first-lap crash.
However, the Scot kept her composure in her home city to replicate her initial success, break the record again, and reclaim the gold that was already hers - in mind if not around her neck.
Kottas, though, finished fourth, having said she was "low-key traumatised" when the race result was overturned.
Woods led from the start in her home city, although Noemi Alphonse of Mauritius and Australia's Eliza Ault-Connell kept her honest over the first couple of laps.

Sean Strickland is almost ready.
It has been almost three months since the foul-mouthed Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight champion reclaimed the 185-pound **** le by defeating Khamzat Chimaev in a razor-close split decision at UFC 328 on Sat., May 9, 2026, inside Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
And apparently, fight fans have been bombarding Strickland with the same question:
When is he going to fight again?
Unfortunately, they are going to have to wait a little bit longer.

Chelsea have signed Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix (26), both clubs have announced. The two London-based Premier League sides reportedly agreed to a €60m transfer fee for the France international defender. Lacroix has signed a six-year deal with Xabi Alonso's Blues. The former Sochaux and Wolfsburg centre-back underwent his medical on Friday.
Chelsea were in the market for a centre-back due to the uncertainty regarding the futures of several of their defenders, such as Mamadou Sarr, Wesley Fofana or Benoît Badiashile. The Blues went for a Premier League-proven centre-back in Lacroix.
Lacroix only needed two seasons with the Eagles to become one of the league most reliable centre-backs. He joined the South London side in 2024 from Wolfsburg and went on to win the 2025 Emirates FA Cup, the 2025 Community Shield and the 2025-2026 Conference League, totalling 98 appearances across two campaigns with Palace. Lacroix's performances earned him a spot in Didier Deschamps' France World Cup squad.

For nearly two decades, Mike Tomlin was the steadying anchor of the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise. But as the team endured years of postseason frustration, former Steelers safety Ryan Clark found himself facing one of the most agonizing moments of his broadcasting career: suggesting on national television that Pittsburgh and Tomlin needed a mutual fresh start.
Appearing on the "Not Just Football with Cam Heyward" podcast with his former teammate, Cameron Heyward, Clark opened up about the emotional toll of offering that critique.
"One of the hardest things I did in TV was maybe a year or two ago, saying I thought that the Steelers and Mike Tomlin should have a conversation about him leaving. I was very clear, I was like, Mike Tomlin is unfireable, I don't believe he should be fired. But I do believe that maybe the Steelers and Mike T, if a Super Bowl is the goal, could benefit from a conversation about is this the right thing going forward," Clark explained.
The comment triggered intense backlash from both ends of a divided fan base.
"In the same conversation I got from the people that hated him, 'What you mean he's unfireable?' And then from the people that loved him, 'You said Coach should be fired!' Tell me how those two things correlate, you dummies," Clark noted.

It's been nearly a month since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married at Madison Square Garden. Several notable celebrities from the world of sports and entertainment were invited to the grand event.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was also in attendance, and during a recent appearance on NBC, the 32-year-old said that he was there to 'bring vibes.' Kittle justified his role by wearing a 'Dumb and Dumber' inspired outfit with Robert Tonyan.
"Me and Rob Tonyan went to 'Dumb and Dumber'. We gave Travis a heads up," Kittle said. "The best part of it was we changed backstage, and the first person that we saw walking out was Travis and Taylor, and they both just broke out laughing at us."
"I was invited to that wedding to bring vibes and have a good time and party. So, we fulfilled our side of the bargain."
Even though it's been almost a month since their marriage, Kelce and Swift have not released wedding pictures for their fans. The fans are also waiting for more details about the big event.

Shreyas Iyer finally ended his wait for a victory as India's T20I captain after leading the side to a convincing seven-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the opening match of the three-game series in Harare on Thursday.
The result marked Shreyas' first win since taking over the captaincy from Suryakumar Yadav earlier this year. India had endured a difficult run under his leadership, beginning with a shock 2-0 series defeat to Ireland before suffering a 4-0 drubbing against England in a five-match T20I series.
Former India opener Sadagopan Ramesh said the celebrations following the Zimbabwe win were understandable given the team's recent struggles, insisting the victory would come as a major relief for the skipper.
"Many are saying India shouldn't be so excited for just a win over Zimbabwe. Yet, when you are starving for a victory for so long in T20Is, even leftover food will taste like a wedding meal. Shreyas Iyer will be relieved, considering India's fall under his captaincy. He would have reached a point where a win over anyone would have been enough for him," Ramesh said in a video uploaded on Instagram.
Ramesh also reserved praise for VVS Laxman, who is serving as India's interim head coach for the Zimbabwe tour. He credited the former India batter for consistently delivering positive results whenever he takes charge of the national side.
"VVS Laxman also deserves high praise. India perform well every time he's the head coach. Under him, India seem to always whitewash the opponents, even at a time the other teams are constantly whitewashing India otherwise. It got to the point where India just needed a win of any kind and hence their elation after beating even Zimbabwe," he added.
India's victory was further highlighted by a historic knock from teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The 15-year-old blazed his way to a maiden international half-century in just 18 ****** , becoming the youngest player to score a fifty in men's international cricket.
Sooryavanshi reached the milestone at the age of 15 years and 118 days, eclipsing the previous record held by Sachin Tendulkar. The batting great was 16 years and 213 days old when he registered his maiden international fifty against Pakistan in a Test at Faisalabad in 1989.

He would have reached a point where a win over anyone would have been enough for him," Ramesh said in a video uploaded on Instagram.
Ramesh also reserved praise for VVS Laxman, who is serving as India's interim head coach for the Zimbabwe tour. He credited the former India batter for consistently delivering positive results whenever he takes charge of the national side.
"VVS Laxman also deserves high praise. India perform well every time he's the head coach. Under him, India seem to always whitewash the opponents, even at a time the other teams are constantly whitewashing India otherwise. It got to the point where India just needed a win of any kind and hence their elation after beating even Zimbabwe," he added.
India's victory was further highlighted by a historic knock from teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The 15-year-old blazed his way to a maiden international half-century in just 18 ****** , becoming the youngest player to score a fifty in men's international cricket.
Sooryavanshi reached the milestone at the age of 15 years and 118 days, eclipsing the previous record held by Sachin Tendulkar. The batting great was 16 years and 213 days old when he registered his maiden international fifty against Pakistan in a Test at Faisalabad in 1989.

We've reached Day 51 in our countdown to the New Orleans Saints' 2026 season opener, so we're looking back to 1999 for our Saints Play of the Day. A rookie quarterback stunned the Dallas Cowboys in front of a big crowd when Jake Delhomme scored a 51-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Eddie Kennison. You can see it for yourself right here.
While the Saints jumped out to a surprising 10-0 lead early on, the Cowboys fought back to get ahead 17-10 midway through the third quarter. So imagine their surprise when Delhomme struck back to tie it all up? It was a great throw off of play action, traveling from the New Orleans 41-yard line to the Dallas 19, where Kennison corralled the catch and jogged into the end zone. The Cowboys had Hall of Famers like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Deion Sanders on their side, and it didn't matter.
This is a game we've highlighted before; Saints cornerback Fred Weary picked off Aikman and scored the game-winning touchdown on a Smith fumble recovery. Good on him and Delhomme for making such a difference. This was a big win for a Saints team that really needed it. New Orleans went into the game with a 2-12 record, and this ended up being a great gift for fans on Christmas Eve. They couldn't sustain that success, but with wins so rare in those days, this became an easy rallying point for fans to enjoy late in a lost season.

Jacoby Brissett is at Cardinals training camp and the quarterback is not staging a hold-in for the team's first practice.
Head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters that Brissett will participate in the team's first workout of the summer on Thursday. Brissett skipped the voluntary portion of the team's offseason program and did not participate after reporting to the team's mandatory minicamp last month.
Brissett is looking for a revised contract that better reflects his position as the team's likely starter at quarterback to kick off the season. There has been no agreement on a new deal at this point, but LaFleur said at his press conference that talks on that front have been "productive."
As long as things remain unresolved on the contract front, there would be a chance that Brissett makes a different decision regarding his practice plans but camp will open with the veteran taking reps along with his fellow quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck.

FBS conferences are divided on the Protect College Sports Act. Count Conference USA as one that supports it.
CUSA Commissioner Judy MacLeod threw her support behind the bill during CUSA Media Day on Tuesday, July 21, in Arlington, TX. She says that while it's "not perfect," it is "desperately needed."
"We understand it's going under revisions now, and some of what we've heard we don't know exactly, but (they) seem like positive changes... It's desperately needed," MacLeod said. "The state law preemption, agent regulation codifying transfer and eligibility regulations, the student athlete protections in there. We've got to have something because it's just not working, and it's not sustainable."
MORE SPORTS: NMSU's Trey Hedden has 'the nod' as QB1 heading for now, Tony Sanchez says
MacLeod's support stems from her frustrations with unclear rules. She believes a federal law that supersedes state laws and various court decisions would make things easier and potentially limit lawsuits that challenge existing or new rules.

Newly-promoted Crystal Palace have completed the signing of experienced striker Beth England.
The 32-year-old joins the club on a two-year deal with the option to extend that for a further season after three and a half years with Tottenham Hotspur.
England joined Spurs from Chelsea midway through the 2022/23 campaign and went on to score 38 goals in 86 appearances for the North London side.
"It feels great to sign for Crystal Palace," England said on her arrival at the club. "I'm very excited to be here, and looking forward to meeting all the girls and getting started.
"Palace are an ambitious club. They've been in the WSL before, they've had two amazing promotions now, and I think you can see their investment in the Women's game. They're really pushing to want to be amongst the best, and they've got amazing facilities.

Entering the first season with a college fantasy football format, there are various Texas A&M representatives projected to be among the nation's elite players in 2026.
The Aggies finished the 2025 regular season with an 11-1 overall record and 7-1 mark in the Southeastern Conference, before losing to the Miami Hurricanes in the first round of the College Football Playoff. After landing an impressive No. 4-ranked transfer portal haul and a No. 17 recruiting class, head coach Mike Elko has a plethora of electric talent to reach the playoff again this year.
Texas A&M's success will depend heavily on the progression of quarterback Marcel Reed, who enters his junior campaign as the No. 17 quarterback and No. 143 overall player in the preseason fantasy football list. Reed threw for 3,169 yards (No. 3 in the SEC) and 12 touchdowns (No. 1 in the SEC) in 2025, while also rushing for 493 yards and six scores on the ground.
He'll have the opportunity to make some explosive plays with returning wide receiver Mario Craver and Alabama transfer Isaiah Horton catching passes for the gunslinger, making them potential breakout options for the first college fantasy football mode offered by Yahoo Sports. Running backs like Rueben Owens II and rising freshman KJ Edwards bring physicality, grit and electrifying speed to the Aggies' backfield, which could provide users with solid late-round running back options for upcoming drafts.
Here are the five highest-ranked Texas A&M players in Yahoo Sports College Fantasy Football preseason rankings entering the 2026-27 season:

The Seattle Seahawks will officially begin training camp with a veterans reporting date of July 24. John Schneider's rookie class reports to Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton one week earlier on July 17, giving them a chance to acclimate to their first professional camp. Head coach Mike Macdonald is expected to promote competition as the Seahawks prepare to defend their Super Bowl 60 triumph.
With so much on the line, we've identified three Seahawks players with everything to gain at training camp.
George Holani will enter training camp as the most-tenured running back available. The 2024 undrafted free agent will attempt to fend off rookie Jadarian Price. With Zach Charbonnet still recovering from a torn ACL injury, there's loads of opportunity up for grabs in the backfield. Can Holani be the Week 1 starter?
Tory Horton scored six touchdowns as a rookie (five receiving, one return) despite only playing in eight games and making 13 catches. The former Colorado State standout was extremely efficient before being sidelined with a season-ending injury. Can Horton work his way back into the rotation behind Cooper Kupp, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Rashid Shaheed?
Tyrice Knight did not enjoy the sophomore campaign he envisioned it'd be. An offseason injury limited his impact and eventually allowed Drake Thomas to firmly surpass him on the depth chart. Knight should enter camp with designs on forcing Thomas into another competition for the starting role opposite Ernest Jones IV.

LAS VEGAS – The Detroit Pistons suffered their second loss in three Summer League games on Monday, July 13, falling to the New York Knicks, 86-75.
Chaz Lanier led the team in scoring for the second game in a row; the 2025 second-round pick finished with 24 points while knocking down eight 3-pointers. 2026 first-rounder Ebuka Okorie added 14 points, six rebounds and four ***** ists.
DEEP THOUGHTS: Detroit Pistons' search for shooting gets good omen from Chaz Lanier
The second-year wing lit up the scoreboard for the second day in a row, and might've earned the "Too Good For Summer League" label. At minimum, he has made a case for himself as the best shooter in Las Vegas this month, and a potential rotation player this season.
Lanier shot 8-for-12 from 3, bringing his two-day total to 15-for-24 (62.5%) after knocking down seven against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. He hit them in a variety of ways including catch-and-shoots, pindowns and stepbacks. Movement shooting has been a priority for him this offseason in workouts, and his work is showing.
