NEW YORK (Reuters) - After a five-month injury layoff, Petra Kvitova is taking a relaxed approach to the U.S. Open and it paid off on Sunday when the Czech upset pre-tournament favourite Garbine Muguruza to reach the quarter-finals. Kvitova suffered a career-threatening injury to her left playing hand, when an intruder stabbed her at her home in December but she has been recovering faster than expected. Seeded 13th at Flushing Meadows, Kvitova went through the early rounds without dropping a set but Sunday’s challenge on Arthur Ashe Stadium was supposed to be trickier as she was facing Garbine Muguruza of Spain....

The undoubted MVP of this season, Andre Russell, still holds key for KKR with the burly allrounder scoring in excess of 400 runs at a mind boggling strike rate of 208.

NBA Finals MVP Leonard departed the championship-winning Raptors for the Los Angeles Clippers, where he will team up with six-time All-Star Paul George. Danny Green left Toronto for a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, but Lowry, who is set to become a free agent in 2020, is not intending to follow them through the exit door. “I want to be there – I would love to do a long extension, but we’ll see what happens,” Lowry said....

The reigning NBA champions confirmed the All-Star guard had agreed a new deal and, according to Lowry’s agent Mark Bartelstein, the extension is for a further year and worth $31million.

Of course, this narrative has subsequently been retconned after his death in an effort to portray him as a gentle giant, but the two drivers drew similar reactions from fans....

While recalling an encounter with Joseph Rosenbaum, whom Rittenhouse fatally shot, the 18-year-old became overcome with emotion and began crying and hyperventilating while trying to describe the scene.
