These kind of matches give you extra confidence.”Alcaraz will meet sixth-seeded Jannik Sinner in Tuesday’s semifinals after the Italian downed Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.Third-ranked Daniil Medvedev overcame a second-set stumble to beat Frenchman Ugo Humbert 6-4, 3-6, 6-1.

Help on the way: Jags getting LT Cam Robinson back from 4-game suspension for performance-enhancers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:37:13 GMT

The Jacksonville Jaguars have help on the way for their stalled ground game and short-yardage woes.Veteran left tackle Cam Robinson will return to practice Wednesday following a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancers. Since it will be Robinson’s first on-field work in nearly six weeks, the Jaguars would prefer to ease him back into the starting lineup.But given the team’s offensive struggles — Jacksonville ranks 29th in the league in third down efficiency and 26th in yards per carry — coach Doug Pederson surely will be tempted to get Robinson on the field when the Jaguars (2-2) play their second consecutive game in London on Sunday.Jacksonville beat Atlanta 23-7 in a “home” game at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, then packed up and moved across town to prepare to be the visiting team against Buffalo (3-1) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.The Jaguars got league approval for Robinson to travel overseas before he was moved off the reserve/suspended list Mon...

DENVER (KDVR) - The first win is always the toughest. Just ask the Denver Broncos.Sunday’s 31-28 victory over the Chicago Bears was a long time coming. How long? The Broncos last won a game in the United States on Nov. 7, 2021, a 30-16 upset of the Dallas Cowboys. Take away the London victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars last season and the Broncos have gone winless in 12 games.That streak of futility came to an end Sunday.“I’m encouraged that we fought back into that game, but man, let’s not finish today when we’re done watching this tape and feel like we’re content at all with how we played,” said Broncos Head Coach Sean Payton on his Monday morning Zoom audio call. Denver ranked as one of the most foodie-friendly cities in US Payton credits quarterback Russell Wilson for guiding the team to their first victory. “(We’re) down 21 points and that momentum can swing very quickly," Payton said. "He was certainly feeling that confidence that, ‘Hey just get us the ball and here we...

US to send more aid to Ukraine ‘soon’ amid funding concerns, White House says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:37:13 GMT

The U.S. will be sending another aid package to Ukraine “soon,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday, in an effort to assuage concerns about diminishing support for the embattled country.“There is [a] strong, very strong international coalition behind Ukraine. And if [Russian President Vladimir] Putin thinks he can outlast us, he’s wrong. He’s wrong. And so we will have another package of aid for Ukraine soon to signal our continued support for the brave people of Ukraine,” Jean-Pierre said during a White House press briefing. The latest aid package will come later this week, according to a U.S. official.The announcement comes two days after Congress passed an 11th hour government funding bill that did not include aid for Ukraine, an omission that was a blow for both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Joe Biden, who has made support for Ukraine one of his priorities as he seeks reelection in 2024.Zelenskyy met with congressional leadership in...
