- November 07, 2016
Kvitova used her huge first serve great, losing just 4 points behind it (23 from 27) but she lost her serve twice from 2 chances that Svitolina created. So I was trying to find my rhythm to play a little bit more aggressive, maybe a little bit longer rallies. Svitolina goes on to face two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova , who beat local wild card Zhang Shuai 6-2, 6-2. (more...)

Newton sacked 5 times, still leads Panthers past Rams 13-10
- November 07, 2016
The calls for the Rams to insert JARED GOFF in at quarterback grew louder with this loss.
