Now through May 18, some of the best tennis players in the world are meeting at the Foro Italico in Rome, Italy for the 2025 Italian Open. This tournament marks Jannik Sinner’s highly anticipated return to the court after a three-month suspension handed to him after two positive doping tests in 2024; the men’s world No. 1 played most recently at the Australian Open in January where he added another championship title to his name. Sinner’s first match of the Open will be this Saturday, May 10 against Mariano Navone.
Italian Open returning champion and World No. 2 Alexander Zverev is also competing this year, along with top seeds Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud, but don’t expect to see Novak Djokovic on the clay, he’s skipping the Italian Open in order to focus on the French Open in June. So far, one seeded player has already been defeated in an upset; No. 14 seed Grigor Dimitrov was defeated earlier this week in the men’s draw by Italy’s Francesco Passaro.

Will Howard was ‘hoping in my heart’ Steelers would draft him: They’re ‘gonna get my all, every single day’
Getty Images The wait was definitely worth it for Will Howard. Largely projected as a late Day 2 or early Day 3 pick, the former Ohio State quarterback wasn't selected until the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. While he wasn't thrilled about that, Howard literally wept tears of joy after being drafted by the Steelers, the team he wanted to play for all along. "It just fits with who I am as a person and as a player," Howard said of the Steelers during the first day of Pittsburgh's rookie minicamp. "I've got a lot of connections to Pittsburgh. Coach [Mike Tomlin], I've wanted to play for him. Coach [Tom Arth], he recruited me at Akron, and one of his players from John Carroll coached me at Ohio State last year. So I've got a lot of connection with […]

With Nick Chubb’s return ‘increasingly unlikely,’ Browns shifting focus to rookie RBs
BEREA, Ohio — Rookie minicamp is mostly just a playbook orientation that includes about 70 minutes of football exercises.For the Cleveland Browns, Friday’s official start of rookie camp marked the first day of the team’s new chapter at running back. Jerome Ford is back for now, Nick Chubb is likely moving on and the new kids in town were on the practice field.AdvertisementAs expected, second-round pick Quinshon Judkins was first in every line as the Browns’ rookies went through the practice reps, and fourth-round running back Dylan Sampson was close behind.Judkins will almost certainly become the team’s feature runner at some point during his rookie season. Sampson’s exact role is to be determined, but he’ll be looking to move up the depth chart and potentially win a third-down job. As the Browns drafted two running backs and Ford chose to […]
Where to watch Cavaliers vs. Pacers: TV channel, live stream, Game 3 prediction, odds, pick
Getty Images The Cleveland Cavaliers have been flying high all season, but they suddenly find themselves in a 2-0 hole against the Indiana Pacers in the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs. And now they have to take their act on the road. Cleveland limped through Game 2 without two All-Stars (Evan Mobley and Darius Garland) and a key reserve (De'Andre Hunter), but there is optimism that all three players, including Garland, who has missed the last four games, will try to play on Friday.Donovan Mitchell exploded for 48 points the last time out and will continue to lead the charge in Indianapolis. But Mitchell's impressive output just wasn't enough as Tyrese Haliburton hit a game-winning 3-pointer with one second remaining to lift the Pacers in a 120-119 win. Now, the East's No. 1 seed and a 64-game winner […]
Blue Jays place Andrés Giménez on IL with quad strain
The Toronto Blue Jays’ infield lost a defensive centrepiece as Andrés Giménez was placed on the injured list with a right quad strain.Giménez was removed from Wednesday’s game in Anaheim after running out a bunt single in the seventh inning. The team recalled infielder Michael Stefanic on Friday in his place and designated Dillon Tate for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.AdvertisementGiménez’s fielding has been as advertised since the Blue Jays acquired him in a winter trade with the Guardians that sent Spencer Horwitz to Cleveland. The second baseman has been worth two outs above average, per Baseball Savant, ranking in the 90th percentile at his position.Replacing that defence at second base, in the short term, will be impossible. But Giménez’s IL stint is an opportunity for Toronto to get more at the plate from the position.The Blue […]
Raiders rookie camp: Jack Bech, Darien Porter show flashes as newbies get their ears wet
HENDERSON, Nev. — As temperatures pushed 90 degrees, Pete Carroll strapped on his gloves and backpedaled on the field as the Las Vegas Raiders’ defensive backs looked on. With the 73-year-old coach showing that type of energy during the stretching period, there was little room for anyone else to slack off.Advertisement“He was out there working on his press,” cornerback Darien Porter said Friday. “It’s funny, but I really appreciate it. To see that kind of energy in rookie minicamp this early in the process is awesome.”Throughout the first practice of the Raiders’ three-day camp on Friday, the energy level was high. The team headquarters has an indoor facility, but the coaching staff kept the session outdoors. The result was the players’ fitness getting pushed to the brink.“You’ve got to be conditioned,” receiver Jack Bech said. “You have to be able […]
