Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images The mixed-doubles field at the U.S. Open, which begins next month in New York, will be a star-studded event.
The United States Tennis Association announced Tuesday the eight teams receiving direct entries into the tournament, as well as six wild-card entrants. Two more teams will take part as wild cards.
Venus Williams, 45, received a wild-card entry and will play with big-serving American Reilly Opelka. The former World No. 1 in singles, Williams is an accomplished doubles player on the biggest stages. She won two Grand Slam mixed-doubles titles in 1998, as well as three Olympic gold medals and 14 Grand Slam women’s doubles events with her younger sister, Serena.
Venus played on the WTA Tour last week for the first time since March 2024 at the Mubadala Citi DC Open. After becoming the oldest player to win a WTA Tour singles match in 21 years, she lost in the second round in Washington to Magdalena Frech of Poland.
14 teams are IN!

How to bet on the Bills in 2025: Super Bowl odds, win total, props, best bets, picks for Buffalo
The Buffalo Bills enter the 2025 season with Super Bowl expectations, and most sportsbooks have the team near the top of their title odds ladders. The Bills have won the AFC East five years in a row and are heavy favorites to capture a sixth straight division crown this season but the ultimate goal is to get to the last game of the season. Buffalo has been unable to do that, losing twice in the AFC Championship Game and three times in the Divisional Round over the last five seasons.One big reason the Bills are expected to be contenders is the presence of quarterback Josh Allen, who is coming off a successful 2024 season where he captured his first MVP award. Allen is a strong contender to repeat as MVP at multiple sportsbooks. Head coach Sean McDermott is back as well, […]
Rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit says he feels his time in NFL was a waste of his talent
Getty Images Rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit made headlines in 2024 when he signed with the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs via the NFL's International Player Pathway Program. However, after one full season, he returned back across the pond to continue his rugby career."I just felt like I was kind of wasting my talent out there," Rees-Zammit said, via The Times. "It's very difficult to get into the NFL if you haven't gone through the college system. You just don't get the same opportunities as those boys. I was getting minimal reps, and it was just something that I was fed up with when I was practising there."Rees-Zammit played running back for the Chiefs and got some action as a kick returner in the 2024 preseason as well. However, he did not make the 53-man roster, and signed with […]
Ombudsman takes International crown for Buick and Gosden
Ombudsman eventually came out on top in an exciting renewal of the Juddmonte International Stakes at York.The 7-4 favourite was ridden by William Buick for John and Thady Gosden, with the fellow Godolphin-owned runner Birr Castle sent out to make the running as a rank outsider in the field of six. The latter horse was afforded an enormous lead and as he rounded the turn for home it looked quite possible that the chasing pack would not catch him, but as he tired, Ombudsman was gaining ground.He eventually swept through to grab the lead and while Delacroix also made late gains, Ombudsman emerged a three-and-a-half-length winner.Full report to follow...

2025 US Open women’s predictions, expert picks, props, draw: Tennis expert reveals free best bets, longshots
The 2025 US Open women's tournament begins on Sunday, marking the final grand slam of the season. There have been first-time winners in the first three slams of the year, as Madison Keys won the Australian Open, Coco Gauff won the French Open and Iga Swiatek won Wimbledon. None of them had won those respective tournaments, but Gauff (2023) and Swiatek (2022) are both former US Open champions. Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka sits atop the US Open women's odds at +300, followed by Swiatek (+310) and Gauff (+850).Other former champions like Naomi Osaka (+1900) and Emma Raducanu (+3300) have both generated momentum recently as well. SportsLine tennis expert Jose Onorato has identified Sabalenka as his best bet for the tournament, but he also likes several longshots. Before locking in any 2025 US Open women's bets, you'll want to see what […]
Místo písku asfalt. Blíží se Macíkův start na okruhu v Mostě, chce být do desítky
Už loni závodní truck otestoval, a tak může s dakarským speciálem srovnávat. „Je to jiné, ale přitom do určité míry stejné. Pořád je to kamion. Kabina je jinak uzpůsobená, takže jsem se musel hlavně zorientovat. V samotné jízdě tolik překvapení nebylo, ale rozdíl je třeba v přetížení, které je na okruhu opravdu cítit, v terénu se spíš potýkáme s nárazy,“ říká Macík.Ten je samozřejmě ve stálé fyzické přípravě, která je při dvoutýdenní šichtě na Dakaru klíčová, navíc trénuje na okruhu v Sedlčanech či Tunisku. Teď ale kvůli klání v Mostě přidal také samostudium. „Jak co nejefektivněji projíždět zatáčky, jak se vůbec chovat v soubojích kolo na kolo. To jsou věci, které v terénu tolik nevyužijete, tak kolem vás nikdo nejede, jen občas potkáte jedno, dvě auta a spíš řešíte, jak se dostat přes dunu.“Něco si ale z rallye přenese i na asfaltový okruh. Jak sám říká, bude to vytrvalost a tvrdohlavost. „Když si za […]
