A three-time champion in Miami, Williams was the overwhelming favourite to move through to the semi-finals but the veteran was upstaged 6-2 6-3 against Collins on Wednesday. Collins tallied 18 winners – two more than eighth seed Williams – as she sent the seven-time grand slam champion packing from the WTA Premier Mandatory event. It was Collins’ first top-10 victory of her career following the 87-minute upset midweek. “The first time I saw Venus in the locker room, I nearly cried,” Collins said....

The Italy international was forced to apologise earlier this month after Di Campli described him as a “prisoner” in the French capital, amid talk of a potential move to Barcelona. Verratti said he was “deeply sorry” for the comments and that Di Campli had made a “big mistake”, and he has now acted on his frustration by hiring Raiola. “I hereby announce that, as of this moment, the only person who is authorised to represent me in all matters related to sport is Mr Mino Raiola,” Verratti wrote on Instagram....

British veterinary surgeon Cat Henstridge, who posts online as Cat the Vet, has made six clips about “pets that people think are cute but are not!” Henstridge, who also runs a blog, uses the videos to highlight the health impacts on the dogs and cats. “It is really important to realize that many of our best-loved pets suffer because of the way we have bred them to look,” Henstridge told Newsweek....

Though the 77-year-old is firmly back in WWE now, nobody expected this to happen until a few days ago. After all, McMahon’s exit from the company in June last year came in the wake of serious “hush money” allegations. To the surprise of none, Vince McMahon’s controversial return divided fans on social media. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis, Teddy Long said McMahon being away from WWE was a good thing....

Vettel won the season-opening race in Australia last month and gave himself a great opportunity to secure back-to-back victories at the Sakhir track. Kimi Raikkonen was quickest for Ferrari under the lights in practice on Friday and again in FP3, but Vettel was 0.143 seconds faster than his team-mate when it mattered on Saturday to end Mercedes’ run of five consecutive poles in Bahrain. Vettel clocked 1:27.958 to take pole, with Valterri Bottas third ahead of his Mercedes team-mate and world champion Hamilton....

Vettel failed to get out of Q2 on Saturday and ended up finishing the first race of the season on Sunday in 10th, eight places behind team-mate Charles Leclerc. The four-time champion fell to the back of the field after making contact with Carlos Sainz, who will replace him at Ferrari next year and was trying to overtake Leclerc. Vettel was disappointed with his performance and Brawn, a former Ferrari technical director, found it unsurprising....

The Pedro tribute honoured his significant contribution to the club ever since he represented the Barcelona C team in 2005. The Spaniard was promoted to the first-team by Pep Guardiola in 2009-10 after impressive performances for Barcelona B, and he vindicated the manager’s selection by becoming the first person to score in six different club competitions during a single season and in the same year as his incredible Barcelona side won the sextuple....

Vampire Survivors: What is Luck? Luck impacts a number of aspects of this game, the first of which manifests during the weapon and accessory selection that occurs every time that a player levels up. More specifically, Luck makes it possible for an additional fourth choice to be made available during each of those selections, giving fans a better chance at seeing the items that they are interested in. While this may not seem like a significant benefit, it does make it easier to evolve weapons in Vampire Survivors....

Liverpool are five points clear atop the table after seven matches as the Reds eye their first league trophy since 1990. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool – who won the 2018-19 Champions League – also enjoyed an advantage at the Premier League summit last season before their seven-point lead was overhauled by City in a nail-biting title race. And after Saturday’s 1-0 victory at Sheffield United made it seven successive wins to start the season, Liverpool star Van Dijk said: “It doesn’t mean anything [the five-point lead]....

United won the International Champions Cup courtesy of a 3-1 win over Premier League rival Liverpool, putting in an impressive second-half display following an unconvincing performance before the break. Wayne Rooney, who was awarded Player of the Tournament, was handed the armband by the Dutchman for the final in Miami and the England striker led by example, grabbing his side’s equalizer before Juan Mata scored what proved to be the winning goal moments later - with Jesse Lingard sealing the victory....

What Is Stellina? The Stellina is a massive all-in-one astrophotography system that automatically locates, tracks, and photographs star clusters and nebulae. It’s entirely portable, includes a 10,000mAh battery (enough for five hours of continuous use), and broadcasts its own Wi-Fi network. Using the accompanying Singularity app, you’ll be guided through astronomical targets that are currently visible—nebulae, clusters, constellations etc—from which you can initiate an observation. For the advanced users who wish to track those distant undiscovered alien colonies, you can also target a specific set of coordinates, though most users will want to stick with the known list of targets....

Kosta Barbarouses’ ninth minute winner for Melbourne Victory was assisted by an offside James Donachie, with the FFA admitting the decision couldn’t be reviewed by VAR because of a server error. Van Marwijk says a system that relies on players selecting a certain amount of incidents to review, such as in tennis grand slams, will function better than VAR’s choosing what they see themselves. “I saw the goal but I didn’t really see it that well from my position....

Pep Guardiola’s men can move past Liverpool and return to the top of the table by beating Leicester at the Etihad Stadium on Monday. Rodgers could do his former club – without a league title since 1990 – a favour by avoiding defeat and the Northern Irishman feels Vardy can have a huge impact. “He does strike fear into opponents, there’s no getting away from that,” Rodgers told UK newspapers of Vardy, who has scored 18 Premier League goals this season....

The idea that Johnson should win his record-tying seventh Sprint Cup is an easy notion to accept because he’s had the edge with Hendrick Motorsports being ahead of the curve every time change occurs with the cars. This year there are up to five dozen changes to the rules package. The MGM books are offering 7-to-1 odds on Johnson, which is the highest in town. The worst part about playing the waiting game for some kind of racing action – remember, no Daytona preseason testing this year – is that our first real nose-dive into the 2015 season kind of hit us all unguarded....
