Elina Svitolina has announced the end of her five-year marriage to fellow tennis star Gaël Monfils, attributing the decision to the emotional and mental impact of Russia's war in her native Ukraine.
Svitolina, 32, said in a statement posted on both players' Instagram profiles on Monday that she had endured sleepless nights, doubts and a feeling of losing herself, even with Monfils' support, before coming to the conclusion that she could not rediscover herself within their marriage.
"Gaël saw all of it," she wrote. "He never let go of my hand. We fought through this together for a long time, with everything we had. But some battles happen deep inside you, and no amount of love from someone else can win them for you.
"With time, I came to understand that I need to find my way back to myself and that I cannot do that within our marriage."
Svitolina's announcement comes a year after she ended her 2025 season early, saying she was not in the right emotional state to compete following Ukraine's Billie Jean King Cup semifinal defeat by Italy. Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Svitolina has spoken repeatedly about fearing for family and friends at home while competing overseas.

Valkyries fans will love Kelsey Plum's Gabby Williams take appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Golden State Valkyries are only in the second year of their existence in the WNBA. And yet here they are, needing to win just three more games to secure the franchise's first championship after grabbing a 68-64 victory in Game 1 against the Atlanta Dream. Both teams had rough shooting nights to begin the WNBA Finals, but in the end, it was the Valkyries that executed when it mattered the most.
With points being at a premium, having someone who can simply generate open looks all while having the ability to make difficult shots could make all the difference. The Valkyries have that in star guard Gabby Williams, who finished with a game-high 26 points on 8-22 shooting from the field.
The signing of Williams this past offseason has certainly elevated a middling playoff team to a full-blown ***** le contender. And for two-time WNBA champion and five-time All-Star Kelsey Plum, she has always seen Williams as this impactful of a player even when she was still more of a role player with the Seattle Storm.

The Tulane Green Wave caused a major shakeup in the American Conference standings with a win over the league-leading Memphis Tigers, who initially looked like they could cruise to the ****** le game.
After sitting out as an outside spectator for the first week of league action and a loss to kick off their conference slate in Week 6, the Green Wave changed their potential for the season with that victory.
They not only knocked the Tigers out of a tie for the top spot, but they also shot up considerably in the American Conference standings.
It also sets up an even more pivotal matchup for Tulane this upcoming weekend. The thought initially ahead of this major three game slate was that if the Green Wave could come out of the start of conference play at 2-1, that they have a real chance at the conference championship game for a fifth year in a row.
The Army Black Knights knocked off the FAU Owls with their first loss in conference play with a 56-24 victory.

It was the ultimate clash of styles.
Army ran the ball at a top-5 rate in the FBS. Florida Atlantic passed the ball at a top-5 rate.
In the battle between the ground-savvy Black Knights and the air-reliant Owls, the run game won out — in dominant fashion. Army handled Florida Atlantic 56-24 Saturday afternoon in Michie Stadium, giving the Black Knights their third consecutive conference victory, while FAU suffered its first conference defeat.
Florida Atlantic's 324 passing yards and three touchdowns were no match for Army's dominance on the ground. The Black Knights exploded for 479 rushing rushing yards and eight touchdowns on an 8.0 average.
Cale **** ums, fresh off a career-high 223 rushing yards, continued his rampage with another memorable performance. The quarterback accumulated 195 yards in a follow-up act and tied the Army program record for most rushing touchdowns in a game. **** ums now sits atop the leaderboard with running back Carlton Jones (2004) and quarterbacks Kelvin Hopkins Jr. (2018) and Bryson Daily (2024) after running in five scores against Florida Atlantic. He also sits atop a season leaderboard, ranking first among FBS quarterbacks with 120 rushing yards per game.

In Week 1, the Browns were embarrassed by the Jaguars. Former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, quoting JuJu Smith-Schuster, declared on NBC, "The Browns is the Browns."
Since then, the Browns is 4-1.
The biggest win of the season came on Sunday, when the new Browns beat the old Browns to create a three-way tie atop the AFC North. Because the Browns have beaten both the Ravens and the Steelers, both of whom are 4-2, Cleveland is in first place.
And first-year head coach Todd Monken intends to relish it. Until tomorrow.
"I'm going to enjoy tonight," Monken told reporters after the 13-10 win. "And that's what you have to do in the NFL. These are the nights that you don't ever want to end, because tomorrow it's on to the next game. And so, I sit there, I know it sounds really goofy, but you sit there in bed and you don't want the night to end. It's 10:30 and you're tired as **** and you want to be up another 15, 20, 30 minutes to enjoy it, because, **** , tomorrow I've got to look at the offensive tape and then you've got to move on to the next game."

Shoulder-season travel is giving some hotels opportunities to trade for longer and reduce their dependence on peak months. But additional demand only changes the investment proposition if those extra trading periods generate durable profit and improve the quality of annual cash flow.
Across parts of Europe, tourism demand is becoming less concentrated in traditional peak periods.
The shift should not be overstated. July and August still accounted for 31.1% of all EU tourist-accommodation nights in 2025, according to Eurostat. In highly seasonal markets, the concentration was much greater: 54.5% of Croatia's annual nights and 41.6% of Greece's occurred during those two months.
But demand is moving at the margins. The European Travel Commission reported stronger autumn demand in several markets in late 2025. In Hungary, for example, growth in international arrivals and nights during autumn exceeded summer growth.
For hotel investors, however, a longer potential travel season is only the starting point.

Oregon billionaires Phil and Penny Knight committed $1.1 billion to the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center and the Providence Heart Institute to build Oregon's first hospital dedicated to women's health, the medical center announced Tuesday.
Phil Knight, co-founder of Nike, and his wife, have supported the institute for more than a decade, previously giving it more than $200 million, including a $75 million gift earlier this year. Along with creating the new women's hospital, their new donation will help the medical center expand cardiovascular care and clinical research and training programs for the heart institute's medical personnel. It will also make it easier to integrate patient care across the medical center.
"Women's health needs change throughout life, and too often patients are asked to navigate multiple specialties and care settings on their own," Ray Moreno, the medical center's CEO, said in a statement. "The Knights' gift is an opportunity to bring these resources together, expanding access for women across Oregon and creating a strong foundation to bridge care gaps in women's health."
The donation is particularly significant because it comes at a moment when U.S. hospitals are seeing far more pregnant patients who are also managing chronic health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, addiction, and behavioral and mental health issues. It also lands at the same time healthcare organizations are struggling with the impact of government funding cuts.
"Resources are scarce, and healthcare is increasingly looking to philanthropy to fill in the gaps," Dan Oseran, the heart institute's executive medical director, told the Chronicle. "A gift like this reduces that friction a little bit and provides the ability to do things we wouldn't otherwise be able to do."

UCF starting quarterback Alonza Barnett III will miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury suffered late in the fourth quarter of the team's Sept. 12 loss at Pittsburgh, according to a report from ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Keyone Jenkins entered for the final play and took a sack, sealing the Panthers' 12-7 win at Acrisure Stadium. Jenkins is in line to start against Georgia State at 7 p.m. Sept. 19.
Barnett completed 63.3% of his passes the first two weeks, throwing for 344 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

When it rains, it pours.
In the literal sense, UCF waited more than an hour before taking the field as thunderstorms hovered over and rolled through Pittsburgh's Acrisure Stadium. In a figurative one, just about everything went wrong for the Knights' offense on a dreary day in Western Pennsylvania, resulting in a 10th consecutive road defeat.
The Knights mustered less than one yard per carry and went scoreless for nearly 58 minutes in a 12-7 loss to Pitt. Alonza Barnett III busted up the Panthers' shutout bid with a 19-yard pass to Waden Charles, the first touchdown of the sophomore receiver's college career.
UCF (1-1) was limited to 206 yards of offense, going 4 of 13 on third down and 0 for 3 on fourth down — including a final sack of backup quarterback Keyone Jenkins with 1:22 left in regulation. Barnett limped off the field with an apparent right leg injury following the previous play.
"I think that there's a lot we have to look at and reconsider," Knights coach Scott Frost said. "We've got to play better on offense. That starts with me and the offensive staff. I just didn't think we clicked.

In addition to the standard passing and rushing scores, the Red Jackets had two punts, one kickoff, one fumble and one interception returned for touchdowns. Ray Garcia was the punt return specialist, D'Markos Trammell Jr. had the two defensive touchdowns, and Gregory Grant brought back the kick.
While Monroe led throughout, McQuaid had its chances. A touchdown pass from Harrison Engle to Chrisaun Jordan trimmed the Knights' deficit to 16-13 at the end of the first quarter. Monroe had the next two touchdowns, however, to build a cushion at halftime.

If you think Army is going to run over, around and through the South Florida defense the way the Black Knights did against Bryant in week one, think again.
There were a lot of positives to draw from as Army rolled up a school-record 648 yards of total offense and 569 rushing yards on the way to a 59-3 victory over Bryant. With a rout in progress, Army went deep into its bench and utilized 16 different ball carries, including three quarterbacks.
South Florida is not Bryant. The Bulls feature a defensive front that averages 6-foot-3, 293 pounds per man (Major Dillard is 330 pounds at nose, Asani Redwood is 300 at tackle and Michael Williams is 250 at end), compared to the Bryant squad that averaged 30 pounds less. Jump to the linebackers, and USF features a group that averages 6-3, 233 pounds, more than a dozen pounds heavier than the similar Bryant unit. You can also expect South Florida's defenders will be quicker to close off the edges, perhaps cutting off Army's success on the perimeter.
The Bulls held Florida International to 80 yards on 25 carries in a 19-9 win on the evening of Sept 5. FIU did roll up 301 yards of passing, on 62% of completed throws, but run-dominant Army has not been a passing threat for many years.
Based off last week's starting lineup (the Bulls do not release depth charts to the media), the South Florida defense fields nine starters who transferred in from other Division I schools. Linebackers C.J. Hicks (Ohio State), Grayson Howard (South Carolina and Florida) and Sam Robinson (Rutgers) played Power 4 ball, as did Redwood (West Virginia) up front. Corner Teddy Foster (Florida) and 'Star' Amanio Fortenberry (Kansas State) help anchor the secondary.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — There is no coming back from this for Rutgers — and maybe its head coach.
The Scarlet Knights still have 10 more games on their schedule this fall, but the 2026 season effectively came to an end after they suffered a devastating 28-21 loss to Boston College on Friday night.
Any flicker of hope remaining following a season-opening 37-21 loss to UMass — the worst loss in modern program history — were dashed at Alumni Stadium, where Rutgers showed more life than its pathetic showing against the Minutemen, but not enough to secure a win it desperately needed — and easily could have gotten.
The Scarlet Knights (0-2) were blitzed from the beginning by the Eagles (1-1), who jumped out to a 17-0 lead through the opening 17 minutes and led the rest of the way.
Rutgers was not ready to play — it was forced to call a timeout on the third play of the game when it sent two players on the field with the same jersey number (#56) — and while it came agonizingly close to stealing a game that was there for the taking, it could not stop shooting itself in the foot.
