Yes, we’re going that route with our GPP lineup. It’s risky, to say the least, but Jackson had four one-TD games this year, so it’s not as if he scores 40 points every week (just most weeks). Either way, we’re taking our shot with two of Baltimore’s other key contributors, plus a big 49ers stack that needs to hit. We’re also covering our bases with some correlating Vikings and a Titan....

The Serbian reached a first grand slam final since the 2016 US Open by beating world number one Nadal 6-4 3-6 7-6 (11-9) 3-6 10-8 in a match played over two days and beaten in terms of length only by the other last-four contest between Kevin Anderson and John Isner. Victory marks the biggest step yet in a stunning turnaround for Djokovic, whose struggles for form and fitness over the past 18 months have been well documented....

Djokovic needed a decider to overcome Marton Fucsovics on Wednesday after dropping the opener and he was broken twice early on in the first set as Basilashvili took charge. However, the Georgian, who won the China Open in October, was unable to maintain that level and Djokovic fought back to secure a 4-6 6-3 6-4 success in just under two hours. The Serb, who won the competition in 2016 and 2017, will now face Roberto Bautista Agut in the last four after the Spaniard defeated Stan Wawrinka in their quarter-final clash....

PARIS (Reuters) - Defending champion Novak Djokovic enjoyed a winning French Open start under new coach Andre Agassi on Monday, cruising past Spain’s Marcel Granollers 6-3 6-4 6-2 in the first round. The 12-times grand slam champion parted company with his entire coaching team earlier this month before inviting American great Agassi to work with him during the French Open. The 30-year-old Serbian, without a tour title since January, found little resistance from Granollers, grabbing two breaks early on in the first set as he chased the 77th-ranked around the court....

Djokovic had lunged for a shot behind the baseline, tumbled on the grass and rolled over twice, his racket flying from his hand. His new coach, Boris Becker, stood in the player’s box and looked on gravely. Slowly, Djokovic rose from the turf, still holding his arm across his chest and made his way to his chair. “When I stood up, I felt that click or pop, whatever you call it,” he said later....

Djokovic, playing in his eighth final in New York and already the champion in 2011 and 2015, is now just three Slams behind Rafael Nadal and six back from the record 20 held by Roger Federer. It was also the third time the 31-year-old Serb had completed the Wimbledon-US Open double. For world number three Del Potro, it was a heartbreaking experience coming in just his second Slam final, nine years after he was crowned US Open champion...

The worry is that, for all these batsmen, this isn’t their first rodeo. All these batsmen have had multiple tours overseas and still can’t seem to get the hang of those conditions. Murali Vijay Vijay has an average of just 29 in overseas tests. If we look at overseas tests India have played since 1st January 2016, Vijay’s average is only 12 in 10 innings. If we include all tests played since 1st Jan 2017, including those played in India, his average is 35....

And on Tuesday, nearly 3 1/2 months after the injury, the team announced Newton was getting surgery for a torn rotator cuff … and that the tear had been diagnosed in that MRI. That timeline is disturbing enough. Add it to the timeline of the rest of the regular season — starting with the season opener in Denver — and it’s time to ask an important question: Do the Panthers even like Cam Newton?...

It may still be possible to rebuild a relationship after infidelity and find love—even if you truly believe that you or your partner never experienced true love in the first place. You could claim that cheating doesn’t necessarily mean you never loved someone, although it might mean you don’t respect or honor them. This isn’t to say that the person being cheated on deserves it. Even if someone is neglectful, there are always better ways for the other person to address it....

Genius Fabregas keeps Chelsea rolling The Spain international was keen to leave Chelsea for Atletico Madrid for personal reasons ahead of the 2016-17 campaign, but a return to the Vicente Calderon never materialised. He was then heavily linked with a move to China in the January transfer window.
