The Wuhan Open is back after a five-year absence – and Aryna Sabalenka will be looking to complete an elongated ‘threepeat’ at the WTA 1000 event. World No 2 Sabalenka won the title the last two times the tournament was held, defeating Anett Kontaveit in the 2018 final and Alison Riske a year later. Since then, the tournament has not been held due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the WTA’s shortlived boycott of China. However, a decade on from the first staging of the tournament, the best in the women’s game will return to the city after a five-year absence. Now an…

Angel Reese was not on the court for the Chicago Sky’s game against the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday, September 15.

This was exactly the case on Sunday night as Reese put on her coaching cap to try and assist her team from the sidelines. At one point in the…
We thought Pittsburgh’s wide receiver situation was going to be rough in 2024, but Steelers fans had no idea it would be this bad. While George Pickens looks like a bonafide WR1 in the NFL, the rest of the group hardly looks deserving of roster spots early in the season. Though the first two games of 2024, Pickens has exploded for big plays down the field. Unfortunately, roughly one-third of his production was nullified by a pair of penalties (a bogus offensive pass interference call in Week 1 and a Broderick Jones holding call in Week 2). Even with big plays being…

It has now been a full week since Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was knocked out of a Thursday night game against the Buffalo Bills with his third diagnosed concussion. Technically, it’s at least his fourth since being drafted into the NFL in 2020. He likely suffered one in 2022 that was not officially diagnosed. Still, how that situation played out ultimately led the NFL to adjust its concussion protocol. Because he was clearly concussed even though the Dolphins refused to say so. Tagovailoa also suffered a concussion in his final year at Alabama in 2019. In short, his brain…
