Jeremiyah Love "trending well" to play Sunday

The chances of Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love making his NFL debut against the Chargers on Sunday are looking pretty strong.

Head coach Mike LaFleur said at a press conference that Love is "trending well" ahead of the team's final practice of the week.

Sabalenka and Rybakina resume epic rivalry at US Open after switch at No 1

Rybakina will top rankings after tournament as pair continue to meet one another in grand slam finals

A typically understated Elena Rybakina stepped up to the microphone for her speech after her triumph at Indian Wells in 2023, her long-awaited first WTA 1000 title, and one of her first objectives was to recognise the efforts of her opponent.
