Ben Shelton has been handed a potential blow ahead of his US Open final against Alexander Zverev, with girlfriend Trinity Rodman unlikely to be in the stands because of a scheduling clash.
The American tennis star booked his place in his first Grand Slam final by beating Frances Tiafoe 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5 on Friday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Shelton now faces Zverev on Sunday with a chance to become the first American man to win a Grand Slam since Andy Roddick in 2003. However, he will have to overcome a difficult record against the German.

HOLMES TOWNSHIP - Wynford used its retro act of a strong rushing attack to snap a two-game losing streak and beat Buckeye Central 41-6 in Northern 10 play Friday night.
The Royals (1-1, 2-2) ran for 492 yards and six touchdowns, led by Deegan Lutz's 246 yards and Braylon Wells' 209 — they both had a trio of scores.
MORE N10: Anschutz, Guegold propel Lucas to first conference win as a member of N10
"We came out and were physical tonight," first-year Wynford coach Andy Amlin said. "We lacked focus the last two weeks and I thought we had that. I thought we executed offensively a lot better than we had."
The hosts took a 14-0 lead thanks to Wells' two-yard burst and Lutz's 18-yard run in the first quarter. Wells then ripped off a 63-yard touchdown with 5:18 left in the first half for a three-score margin.

For 23 years, it has been the world's most annoying sports trivia question: Who's the last American man to win a Grand Slam singles ****** le?
Ben Shelton has always been the one with the ability to change it.
No disrespect to any of the others who have carried the red, white and blue banner for more than two decades across the men's tennis tour since Andy Roddick won his US Open ****** le in 2003. John Isner served his way to millions of dollars and a few nice tournament wins. The likes of Mardy Fish and Sam Querrey did the best they could in the Roger Federer/Rafael Nadal/Novak Djokovic era. Taylor Fritz has worked tirelessly to improve his game and continues to be a factor among the best players in the world.
But there is no divine right for any country, even one as big and athletically successful as the USA, to produce Grand Slam champions in a global sport where only a select few are going to rise to the top. It takes everything: Talent, development, the right set of circumstances and maybe a little bit of luck.
And for Shelton, the 23-year old who was born in Atlanta, raised to be an NCAA champion in Gainesville, Fla., and unleashed onto the world stage by a meticulously patient father/coach, only one more match stands in his way of the ultimate American story.

Big-serving Ben Shelton overpowered American compatriot Frances Tiafoe in four sets to reach the first Grand Slam final of his career at the US Open on Friday.
Eighth-seeded Shelton blasted 20 aces on his way to a thrilling 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5 victory on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court that sends the 23-year-old into Sunday's championship match against top-seeded Alexander Zverev of Germany.
A pulsating all-American semi-final had seen both players vying to reach a Grand Slam final for the first time.
Shelton -- who took down defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals -- will now have the chance to become the first American man to win a Grand Slam ****** le since 2003, when Andy Roddick triumphed at the US Open.
Tiafoe got off to a bright start, claiming the first set after breaking when Shelton uncharacteristically double-faulted to trail at 5-4.

The Virginia Cavaliers did not mess around on Friday night, taking care of Norfolk State, 59-3. As expected, the 'Hoos overmatched the Spartans for 60 minutes, allowing all sorts of reserves to get live reps in the second half.
Three different UVA quarterbacks threw touchdown passes. Beau Pribula, who played the first two quarters, was once again ultra efficient, throwing for 162 yards on 12-of-14 passing with three touchdowns. Of note, Pribula did not have a single designed rushing attempt; offensive coordinator Des Kitchings chose to keep him upright and allow him to sling the rock from the pocket instead.
Backups Eli Holstein and Cole Geer ultimately had limited passing attempts, but both had one impressive throw to build on. Holstein opened the second half with a beautiful goal line fade to Ty'Lyric Coleman in the back corner of the end zone, while Geer found high school teammate Williem Thurber on a tight window up the seam for 28 yards in the fourth.
At the skill positions, wide receiver Jacquon Gibson got himself on the board with two touchdown catches from Pribula, after failing to reach the end zone a single time with UMass in 2025. Meanwhile, sophomore Xay Davis showcased his burst out of the backfield, totaling 107 ticks on 13 attempts.
On the defensive end, Kam Robinson made his way back to the field (in a limited capacity), a welcomed sight for the Cavalier faithful. The first-team secondary looked particularly strong, with Brandyn Hillman hauling in his second and third interceptions of the season, and Jacobie Henderson displaying some playmaking ability of his own. Sophomore linebacker Justin Rowe added a pick six in the final minutes for good measure.

The Nats have been a chore to watch the last month and a half. We really saw that on display during an 0-6 west coast trip. Many of the games were close, but the Nats consistently found ways to lose. That is just what they have been doing lately. Hopefully that can change at home against the Angels.
With a lefty on the mound, Daylen Lile is actually out of the lineup. The outfield will be Dylan Crews, Jacob Young and James Wood. Andres Chaparro will get the DH duties, with Yohandy Morales at first base. With Nasim Nunez on the bereavement list, CJ Abrams will be at shortstop. Harry Ford will do the catching in this one. Nats ace Cade Cavalli will look to snap the losing streak.

It appears Kyle Shanahan will pass Bill Walsh. And keep on going and going.
The San Francisco 49ers head coach signed a contract extension in the offseason, Netflix's Tom Pelissero reported, although his previous deal – that owner Jed York said on March 30 that he was through 2028 – wasn't close to expiring. The length of this new deal has not yet been disclosed.
"I think Kyle's got three years left (on his contract)," York said then. "I want Kyle to be here for a long time. He's been here for a long time. I want him to be here even longer."
Shanahan, 46, will match Walsh as the longest-tenured 49ers head coach if he finishes his 10th season with the team in 2026. Shanahan and the Rams' Sean McVay are the NFL's second-longest tenured head coaches. They trail only Kansas City's Andy Reid, who is in his 14th season with the Chiefs.
Shanahan has an 83-67 regular-season record with the 49ers and a 9-5 mark in the postseason. His regular-season win total ranks third in franchise history behind George Seifert (98) and Walsh (92). His postseason total ranks third behind Seifert and Walsh, who each have 10. Shanahan's playoff winning percentage (.643) ranks ninth in NFL history (minimum 10 games). In Shanahan's first nine seasons, the 49ers won two NFC **** les, three NFC West crowns, made five playoff appearances and had four 12-win seasons.

NEW YORK (AP) — Ninety Grand Slam tournaments have passed since Andy Roddick defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero in the 2003 final at Flushing Meadows. Since then, no other U.S. male player has managed to win the U.S. Open on home soil or any of the other three majors.
Apart from Argentina's Juan Martín del Potro at the 2009 U.S. Open and his compatriot Gastón Gaudio at the 2004 French Open, every champion across the world's four major tournaments has been European.
Frances Tiafoe or Ben Shelton — who face off in the U.S. Open semifinals on Friday night — could end this drought for American men.
"You know the history; it was the era of the 'Big Three' (Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic) — something unmatched," Del Potro told reporters. "But American tennis has the potential to break this pattern. There are so many good players now with the potential to be Grand Slam champions, and I sincerely believe Tiafoe or Shelton can do it."
As the last Grand Slam champion born outside of Europe, Del Potro takes pride in walking the grounds of the U.S. Open.

Howard Stern's wife, Beth Stern, is looking on the bright side as the radio host prepares for a major change to his longtime show.
Beth, 54, opened up about her husband's new schedule and HBO Max deal while attending the Alice + Olivia show during New York Fashion Week, according to a Daily Mail report published Thursday, September 10. Howard, 72, is cutting back to one new live Sirius XM show per week, while a video version of his program will stream on HBO Max each Thursday.
"It's actually great for me, because he's now going to start only working one day a week — so I get more Howard at home and he's still connected to the world, so it's a win-win for all of us," Beth said, per the report.
RR5/Rob Rich/WENN/Newscom/The Mega Agency
The new arrangement comes amid a shakeup at Sirius XM that saw Andy Cohen take over Stern's Howard 101 channel, the outlet reported. Stern will continue broadcasting his weekly live show on Howard 100 and working primarily from the studio at his Hamptons home.

NEW YORK – It was a fairy tale brought to life as a princess and a queen at New York Fashion Week.
Brandy and Whoopi Goldberg, the stars of 1997's live-action "Cinderella," reunited front row at Christian Siriano's fashion show Thursday, Sept. 10, during the first official day of NYFW. Brandy, who played the ***** le princess in the film, and Goldberg, who played Queen Constantina and mother of Prince Christopher (Pablo Montalban), hugged and smiled as they posed together for photos nearly 20 years after the Rogers and Hammerstein film debuted.
The "Boy Is Mine" singer donned a white two-piece ensemble with cutout details from head to toe, while "The View" cohost opted for a metallic gray jacket with black polka dots paired with a white collared shirt and charcoal pants.
New York Fashion Week: Gigi Hadid, Romeo Beckham hit the runway at star-studded Tommy Hilfiger fashion show
The magical reunion punctuated a starry front row of celebrities, including comedian Tiffany Haddish, singer JoJo, actress Evan Rachel Wood, Emmy-winning actor Billy Porter, actress Mena Suvari, "Will & Grace" star Debra Messing, "The Pitt" star Supriya Ganesh and "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Bronwyn Newport (a longtime Siriano client prior to her reality TV casting).

Gasoline has never cost this much in September, while diesel prices touched a new record on Wednesday as crude oil topped $100 a barrel.
"Gasoline prices in the USA are the highest ever for this time of year," Andy Lipow of Lipow Oil ***** ociates said.
While Brent crude (BZ=F) has edged past $100 for the first time in two months, the pain at the pump is even greater. Energy bottlenecks tied to the US-Iran conflict, and refining constraints have pushed crack spreads — the gap between crude and refined fuel prices — to new highs.
Consumers are effectively paying the equivalent of $177 a barrel for gasoline and $250 a barrel for diesel, according to Lipow's ***** ysis.
"Those high prices are starting to impact demand," he said.

During a segment on the September 3 episode, Mad Money host Jim Cramer shared a detailed bullish thesis on Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN). He stated:
Let's start with Amazon. Ever since we went out to see Amazon earlier this year, I've been stuck on something that CEO Andy Jassy told me. He said they're going to make an immense amount of money in artificial intelligence. They were going to profit from their gigantic commitment to data centers and next year will be huge for the compute sales. Well, I think it's being pulled forward. I think it may already be huge right now. I also remember Andy talking about the $50 billion semiconductor business that's buried in the company. I like the healthcare initiatives... Amazon Web Services is doing incredibly well. Their grocery delivery business, wow...
Alright, what can I say? All this for a stock that's up just 12% for the year; that's wrong. Amazon's balance sheet isn't as good as it was a year ago; enough already. What if Amazon Web Services is able to make four times what it just paid for 2 million GPUs from NVIDIA? That ratio, by the way, is what NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang told me companies can expect to get when they buy NVIDIA chips. That makes me think that Amazon is cheap. We've all kind of forgotten that there's a reason why a smart executive like Andy Jassy is willing to wreck Amazon's balance sheet like the old days. It's because they're going to make fortunes with the money they spend. And we are getting closer and closer to seeing huge profits for investments that the Street has hated. You can't wait until next year to buy the stock of Amazon. And that's why it is a screaming buy with the stock trading at about 20 times this year's earnings. That's wrong.
Amazon Web Services remains the primary profit engine for the company. In the second quarter, AWS revenue surged 37% year over year to reach $42.2 billion, putting its annual run rate at roughly $169 billion. Operating income for the cloud unit jumped to $16.6 billion. Companies shifting their operations to handle AI and heavy workloads are turning those massive data center investments into high-margin profits. Aside from basic cloud hosting, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is leaning into its own custom chips, like Trainium and Graviton, and growing adoption of the Bedrock platform to keep its revenue streams strong and diversified.
Not everyone on Wall Street shares Cramer's enthusiasm, as it could be pointed out that Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AMZN) balance sheet is noticeably weaker than it was a year ago as its long-term debt increased from nearly $66 billion at the end of 2025 to nearly $129 billion by mid-2026. Heavy capital commitments and soaring data center expenses, with full-year capital expenditure guidance climbing around $220 billion, have strained cash flow flexibility. Investors could be worried that the company is spending too aggressively. If enterprise demand for artificial intelligence tools slows down or if the massi

LONDON (AP) — The NFL will play a record nine games internationally this season and they include three cities hosting for the first time: Melbourne, Australia; Rio de Janeiro; and Paris.
Jacksonville and San Francisco both play two games abroad: the Jaguars back-to-back in London; the 49ers in Melbourne and later in Mexico City.
Here's some handy information about the games and locations.
The NFL's first international game of the season might be hard to top attendance-wise. Mike Evans, Demarcus Robinson and Deebo Samuel caught touchdown passes from Brock Purdy, and the San Francisco 49ers routed the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 in the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia. There were 100,021 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the game, the seventh-largest regular season crowd in NFL history. It was the second-largest international NFL match by attendance, topped only in October 2005 when the 49ers lost 31-14 to the Arizona Cardinals before 103,467 fans at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
The league had never staged a regular-season game so far from home — it's a nearly 16-hour flight from the U.S. West Coast. The NFL West matchup kicked off at 10:35 a.m. local time Friday, Sept. 11, in Melbourne — which was 8:35 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10 on the U.S. East Coast.

The league had never staged a regular-season game so far from home — it's a nearly 16-hour flight from the U.S. West Coast. The NFL West matchup kicked off at 10:35 a.m. local time Friday, Sept. 11, in Melbourne — which was 8:35 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10 on the U.S. East Coast.

Why Patriots' Josh McDaniels, TreVeyon Henderson injury deserve some blame for Drake Maye's putrid night appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New England Patriots did a lot of things correctly in their season opener against the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. They went across the country and played an excellent game for three quarters in front of the crazed and full-throated 12s at Lumen Field in Seattle. However, their 10-3 lead disappeared in the fourth quarter as quarterback Drake Maye was careless with the football and that turned potential victory into a 13-10 defeat. Maye threw two of his three interceptions in the final quarter.
The final interception by Seahawk defensive back Josh Jobe came in the end zone came with 26 seconds remaining. Maye threw up a high-arching balloon to wide out Mack Hollins from the Seattle 16-yard line and Jobe was able to outfight the Patriots receiver for the ball. That play prevented New England from sending out PK Andy Borregales to attempt a 33-yard field goal that would have tied the game.
There is little doubt that Maye's pass was a poor effort and should not have been thrown. However, the play call made by offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was reckless. The Seattle pass defense had come to life in the fourth quarter and had shown the ability to blanket Patriots receivers. The pass into the end zone was a risky proposition when it was called by McDaniels and it put Maye at risk of throwing the costly interception.

Work to create the UK's first battery-electric trains for long-distance main line services is set to begin in 2028, the Department for Transport (DfT) has announced.
The 29 new Adessia Stream trains are expected to enter service in 2034 and will be built at Alstom's Litchurch Lane factory in Derby.
The government said the investment of almost £1bn would help support more than 350 jobs at Alstom and a further 6,000 jobs across the UK supply chain.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the new trains would deliver "faster, more reliable journeys to the north and thousands of British jobs for the next generation".
The managing director UK at Alstom said the fleet would "transform" journeys across northern England [BBC]

Big Tigger won't be being prosecuted on aggravated battery and third-degree child cruelty charges, ending the criminal case involving his wife, Alicia Brown.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the Fulton County District Attorney's Office has decided not to move forward with charges against Tigger, whose legal name is Darian Morgan.
The charges traced back to a May 9 incident at the couple's Sandy Springs home on Jett Ferry Road. According to the arrest affidavit, a dispute over text messages between Morgan and a female co-worker escalated over the course of several weeks before turning physical.
Brown alleged that Morgan tackled her to the floor during an argument and later grabbed her arms and shoved her toward an exit, causing her to stumble headfirst into an office door and suffer a deep cut above her left eye.

A federal appeals court ruled that a Texas woman can't sue two Santa Fe police officers who pinned her face down on a fire ant hill while she was handcuffed, causing her to receive hundreds of painful bites to her face.
In an August 6 opinion, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit reversed a lower court decision allowing Taylor Rogers' lawsuit against the City of Santa Fe and the two officers to move forward. Instead, the panel held that the officers were shielded from her claims under the doctrine of qualified immunity.
In a press conference last Friday, Rogers' attorney, Randy Kallinen, criticized the ruling.
"The United States 5th Circuit Court of Appeals is out of touch with the Constitution and the public, granting police immunity in the most egregious of cases," Kallinen said. "The people need to elect officials who will nominate and affirm judges loyal to the Constitution."
Kallinen told The Daily News that he has requested an en banc hearing for the full 15-member 5th Circuit to review the case, and he'll petition the Supreme Court for review if that fails.

At the end of the 2026-27 season, Liverpool will have had Standard Chartered as their primary shirt sponsor for 17 years. For the 18 years before that, Carlsberg were the shirt sponsor. Both sponsors crossed managerial eras, saw badge changes, and became **** ociated with the front of a Liverpool kit to the point they almost faded into the background.
Next season, for the first time in 35 years, there will be a new one, with the club announcing today that Turkish Airlines had agreed a five-year deal reportedly worth upwards of £300M that will see them become the club's new primary shirt sponsor.
Though some sponsorship deals have a higher total value, those include stadium and other naming rights and Liverpool's new deal is said to be the must lucrative in the Premier League for a front of shirt sponsor. In addition to being the first new sponsor in 35 years, Turkish Airlines will become just the sixth shirt sponsor in the club's history.
Liverpool got their first with Hitachi (1979-1982) before moving to Crown Paints (1982-1988), Candy (1988-1992), Carlsberg (1992-2010), and then Standard Chartered (2010-2027) .
"This is a milestone announcement for us and we are delighted to welcome Turkish Airlines from June 2027," said Liverpool Chief Commercial Officer Ben Latty in a press release. "The front of the Liverpool shirt holds a special place in the history of our Club, and we look forward to building a strong relationship—with already strong foundations built from those special memories back in 2005.

Liverpool have agreed a new five-year, £300m shirt sponsorship deal with Turkish Airlines for the start of next season.
The agreement, which the club believes is the most valuable in Premier League history, ends a 17-year front-of-the-shirt partnership with British multinational bank Standard Chartered.
Reports indicate the deal, which will come into effect on 1 June 2027, is worth more than £60m a season, believed to be a similar sum to Man Utd's current deal with Snapdragon.
Turkish Airlines branding will be on the front of Liverpool men's, women's and academy match shirts. Prior to Standard Chartered, front-of-the-shirt sponsors for Liverpool included Carlsberg, Candy and Crown Paints.
"The front of the Liverpool shirt holds a special place in the history of our club," Ben Latty, Liverpool's chief commercial officer, said.

WWE Sunday Night's Main Event took place from State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Sunday night, with Randy Orton pinning Cody Rhodes in the main event. Also on the card, Bronson Reed returned to help Bron Breakker take out Oba Femi, a misstep from Tatum Paxley cost Charlotte Flair their match against Jade Cargill, and Trick Williams was once again crowned United States Champion.
As we march toward Money in the Bank, here's four takeaways from Sunday night in "the A."
In a WrestleMania rematch, Orton and Rhodes picked up right where they left off with a brawl throughout the arena Sunday night. We've seen plenty of "no fighting until the fight" stipulations, but this is the first time I can remember both wrestlers immediately brawling once they were in the ring together to pay off a month's worth of tension.
Orton and Rhodes hit all the high notes, with the duo matching intensities throughout a hard-hitting bout. Rhodes teased the punt to Orton, but once he couldn't pull the trigger, the wily veteran Orton took advantage and found an opening for the win.
I'm really interested to see where we go from here. This story feels similar to what played out in the run-up to WrestleMania, with Rhodes needing to find another gear and using heel-like tactics in the actual match to retain his WWE **** le. It'll be interesting to see what threads these two opt to tug on to make the next chapter in this rivalry compelling.
