Nadal’s dominance in Paris is so absurd and complete that the casual tennis fan does not even bother to think about the potential challengers. However, upsets do happen in sport and the neutral tennis lover would certainly hope to see one. On that note, we take a look at the potential challengers to Nadal’s throne this year. Dominic Thiem Dominic Thiem, semifinalist at the 2017 French Open, is also the heir apparent to Thomas Muster’s Austrian tennis legacy....

I went to college on a violin scholarship, not really sure just what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I knew there must be something that combined everything I loved – music, teaching, leadership skills and working with people. And I knew that, when I found it, I would know. Well, I was right. My junior year, I discovered conducting, and it changed my life....
On Tuesday, the Red Bulls endured a frustrating night, failing to find the goal they needed to keep their CONCACAF Champions League hopes alive, settling for elimination at the hands of Chivas Guadalajara. By the end of that night, Romero Gamarra was irate, nearly coming to blows with a Chivas player. His emotions boiling over on a night that saw him come off the bench rather than start. Four days later, on a sunny Saturday at Red Bull Arena, the New York had no such trouble finding the net, with Bradley Wright-Phillips needing five minutes to open the scoring....
Get odds on Serie A title winners The 26-year-old French forward joins Roma on an initial loan from Sassuolo – where he scored 23 goals in 73 appearances under new Giallorossi boss Eusebio Di Francesco – and has agreed a five-year contract at the Stadio Olimpico running until June 2022. Roma will pay Sassuolo €5m loan fee for 2017-18, with an obligation to make the transfer permanent for €15m, should certain sporting targets be met....
Roma are currently at the fifth position with 11 points from six matches so far. In the last match of Serie A, Roma ensured a narrow win against Lecce by a margin of 1-0. However, they were held by Wolfsburger AC in the Europa League on Thursday and the match ended with a score-line of 1-1. On the other hand, Cagliari won three matches in a row after two defeats in the first two matches....
It appeared as though a switch to Spain was on the cards at one stage, with James Pallotta suggesting that a €78 million (£69m/$91m) deal was close. The Roma president has since claimed that he was joking and that those in the Italian capital have no intention of parting with a prized asset. That remains the stance when it comes to a man currently away on World Cup duty, with Monchi adamant that no rumoured interest has been formalised....
I was given the opportunity by Wizard World to sit front row center for the WWE Superstar panel on Saturday. I was told that it would originally be Roman Reigns and Paige, but the former WWE Diva’s champion had to cancel due to filming. Reigns and Dean Ambrose entered the room (that, by this point, was already completely packed) to loud applause, cheers and chants of “ROMAN REIGNS!”, making you feel like you truly were at a live event in a stadium....
Roman Reigns made a huge revelation during the chat while answering a fan’s question. Reigns stated that he won’t be changing much of his gear, but the fans will see him wrestle shirtless this Sunday at WWE Clash of Champions. Roman Reigns has never changed his outfit previously Roman Reigns came up to the main roster as a part of The Shield back in 2012. When The Shield split in 2012, both Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose got new gears soon after, but Reigns has been wrestling in the same SWAT outfit all this time....
The ad says Romney “got tough on drugs like meth” while governor of Massachusetts, but the legislation he supported never passed, and his state’s laws are much weaker than Arkansas’. Convicted meth dealers face both minimum and maximum prison terms in Arkansas that are four times longer than those in Massachusetts. The ad misrepresents news articles, implying that they supported Romney’s actions as governor when that’s not what the news organizations said....

NBC’s Chuck Todd pressed the Wisconsin Republican about his party’s purported fixation on probing the dealings of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. The host then contrasted it with the treatment of Kushner, underscoring what he apparently views as the GOP’s hypocrisy. Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, has been accused of being financially linked to Qatar during his time as a senior White House adviser with a focus on Middle Eastern affairs....
In his first match at Atletico’s Estadio Independencia stadium on Saturday, Ronaldinho scored with a 36th minute penalty, reported Xinhua. Ronaldinho’s pinpoint corner kick then helped Damian Escudero score the second goal during injury-time. It was the two-time FIFA world player of the year’s first goal since joining the club earlier this month. He quit rival Brazilian outfit Flamengo May 31 and is suing it for $20 million for alleged unpaid wages and bonuses....
Atletico Madrid’s Uruguayan defender Jose Gimenez wins a place in the defence as well. The 20-year-old Uruguayan proved to be a good alternative as Diego Simeone shuffled his squad. Gimenez grabbed the assist for the first of Griezmann’s brace, and played his part in a stable Atleti backline. Finally in defence is Antonio Amaya who opened the scoring Rayo’s 2-0 win over Almeria with a well taken header. But he didn’t fail to execute his defensive duties too, as he helped his side keep a clean sheet against an Almeria side that looked threatening at times....
MADRID (Reuters) - In-form striker Cristiano Ronaldo will try to take Real Madrid to the brink of the Spanish title on Wednesday against Celta Vigo.

The five-time world player of the year, who was seen driving into the Juventus practice complex in the morning, received public backing from the Italian club, which said it would not judge him on the 2009 assault claim by a Nevada woman.
