The 29-year-old triumphed 6-4 3-6 6-2 in a little over two hours to claim his first ATP success since beating Taylor Fritz in Memphis in February 2016.

If their season is going to continue past 162 games, that needs to become the new normal. Yelich, of course, was unfortunately lost for the season on Tuesday night, when he fouled a pitch into his knee and broke his kneecap. It won’t require surgery, but even the reported six-week recovery time is too long for a season that has only three weeks remaining. Something else happened Wednesday night, too....

Given these fundamental caveats, “Deceived” is diverting, if disposable, fun. Director Damian Harris knows how to keep an audience’s attention. It’s also notable that this Goldie Hawn film was made by Disney, which prides itself on rehabilitating the careers of slipping stars. Her performance is compelling but surprisingly solemn. Not once does she giggle, bat her eyes or play cute. “Deceived” may be remembered as phase one in the de-ditsification of Goldie....
The Gun Owners of America (GOA), along with other plaintiffs, sued Governor Ralph Northam over an executive order issued Wednesday which sought to forbid firearms and other weapons from the area immediately surrounding the State Capitol. Thousands are expected to congregate on Monday for Lobby Day, Virginia’s annual occasion for average citizens to engage with representatives and advocate for particular causes.

Perez plays down talk of Ronaldo exit Belotti has been linked with Milan, Ligue 1 giants PSG and the Premier League’s Manchester United after scoring 26 Serie A goals in 2016-17. Torino, however, have no intention of selling the 23-year-old Italy international — who has a €100million release clause for foreign clubs. “With Belotti we’re tied to him until 2021,” Cairo told Tuttomercatoweb. “Then clearly it’s very important that he remains happy as I hope he is....
The draconian whisker ban is part of fresh regulations also barring tattoos and long nails, local media reported Wednesday, as the authorities look to clean up the image of Japan’s roly-poly sport. Superstitious sumo wrestlers often decline to shave their beards during tournaments as they believe it brings them luck, but the Japan Sumo Association (JSA) have decided they will no longer tolerate such slovenliness. “Wrestlers must preserve their personal hygiene,” JSA elder Oguruma told reporters after a board meeting....
In Missouri, Democratic senatorial challenger Geri Rothman-Serot is so strident on her message of change that the editor of a Washington newsletter told her she “would give a woodpecker a headache.” In Washing-ton state, Patty Murray invited reporters to sift through 20 years of personal cheeks in shoe boxes to back up her claim that she is an ordinary person running for the Senate-“just a mom in tennis shoes.” Sometimes the drive to be different produces bizarre twists....
