Angelique Kerber beats Karolina Pliskova to win women's US Open title
- September 15, 2016
Serving at 3-5, Pliskova double-faulted to give Kerber a set point, and the German smacked a running forehand up the line to capture the first set. She was wishing me luck for the final. But at the outset of this final, it was Kerber who was in charge. The next women's champion of the US Open will be decided this weekend. Pliskova committed 17 unforced errors alone in that first set.

- September 15, 2016
Both matches were against Williams. "I am even fitter now than earlier this year", Kerber added. At 4-4, Kerber kept her calm and ended a spectacular run with a love game. "For a player who has been prone to losses to lower-ranked players, note that since the French Open she has lost just three times, with all the losses coming to either Kerber (Wimbledon, Cincinnati) or Serena ( US Open )", the WTA analysis reads.

Philip Rivers: Offense sank following Allen injury previous year
- September 15, 2016
Now might be the time to ride it out with running back Melvin Gordon, who was putting on a show before the coaches oddly-and annoyingly-refused to use him in the second half. The Chargers placed Johnson on Injured Reserve in August. The probability would never shift back into San Diego's favor. The Chiefs' retooled offensive line allowed Smith to be sacked three times, and a group of wide receivers expected to be much improved was unable to get open against a suspect San Diego secondary.

Liverpool 'have pace to burn' says Leicester goalkeeper Schmeichel
- September 15, 2016
We had to bring in Lucas (for Dejan Lovren, who sustained a badly bruised eye in training); a great player but the most hard game for a centre-half, especially when you don't play it 500 times in a row". Liverpool celebrated the opening of the new £115m Main Stand in style, playing a brand of fluent, attacking football that had most of the now 54,000 capacity arena purring with delight. (more...)
