In his first game at right tackle for the New York Jets, Olu Fashanu put together a solid performance. Fashanu, taken in the first round of this spring’s NFL draft, came to the Jets as a left tackle.

You can’t say the same for Carlos Alcaraz after his Cincinnati Masters histrionics during his shock second round defeat to Gael Monfils. The young Spaniard, who this year made it back-to-back Wimbledon triumphs – while also winning the French Open, the tournament famously dominated by his compatriot for the better part of two decades – was forced to apologise after his meltdown on Friday. Alcaraz smashed his racket onto the ground several times during the outburst before being handed a code violation by the umpire. And having won…
