A day after setting a record by making the cut in his 24th consecutive Masters, the 48-year-old legend struggled and showed signs of his difficulty walking rounds since suffering severe leg injuries in a 2021 car crash. Woods had declared himself in with a chance of taking a sixth green jacket to match the record of Jack Nicklaus after 36 holes. "I'm here. I have a chance to win the golf tournament," Woods said Friday. "I'm only eight back." Five-time Masters champion Woods had rounds of one-over... Читать дальше...

Hetmyer's spell at the crease, laced with three sixes, brought Rajasthan past Punjab's 147-8 with only one ball to spare, cementing the side's place at the top of the table with only one loss from the season so far. "Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't," Hetmyer said. "Happy I could help my team win tonight." Punjab got off to a decent start with Atharva Taide and Jonny Bairstow making 26 runs for no loss at the end of three overs. But Avesh Khan dismissed Taide soon after while Bairstow fell in the eighth over -- both making 15. Читать дальше...

The France midfielder, who is suspended for the second leg of Madrid's Champions League quarter-final away to Manchester City next week, scored three minutes into the second half with a deflected 25-metre drive. Jude Bellingham rattled the crossbar in the first half with a rasping effort from just outside the area as coach Carlo Ancelotti reshuffled his attack with Wednesday's trip to England in mind, leaving out Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. Tchouameni's third goal of the season put Madrid ahead... Читать дальше...

The 10th-ranked Norwegian beat the world number one 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 for a first win in six attempts against the record 24-time Grand Slam title winner. Djokovic insisted, however, that he won't panic despite seeing a golden opportunity to go on capture a 41st Masters title snatched away by a player he swept off court in the French Open final last year. "There are positives to take away for sure, but I'm used to a really high standard in terms of expectations and results," said 36-year-old Djokovic. Читать дальше...

Another disappointing performance left Juve five points above fourth-placed Bologna who continue their bid for a first-ever spot in the Champions League in the day's late match. Italian clubs' good performances in Europe this season means Serie A is almost guaranteed an extra place in next year's revamped version of the continent's top club competition. That should ensure that Juve will return to the European elite come September. They are 12 points ahead of Atalanta who are sixth with a game in hand and face Verona on Monday night.

Norwegian eighth seed Ruud, who had been swept off court by the world number one in a demoralising French Open final loss last year, came through 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 in his semi-final when Djokovic double-faulted after saving two match points. An inspired Tsitsipas handed world number two Jannik Sinner just his second loss of the season as the two-time champion Greek booked his place in Sunday's final, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. "I'm super-happy, this is a day I will remember for a really long time," said Ruud who... Читать дальше...

Victory took Guardiola's men two points clear of Arsenal and Liverpool, who both play on Sunday. City also face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals next weekend and go into Wednesday's blockbuster Champions League quarter-final, second leg against Real Madrid with the tie finely poised at 3-3.

"We spoke to the players about how incredible it is to be here again," said Guardiola. Читать дальше...

Victory secured Wrexham's second straight promotion after the Welsh club ended a 15-year absence from the English Football League in April 2023 by winning the fifth-tier National League. "A few years ago, if you told me I would be crying tears of joy over a football match taking place in north Wales, you would be Rob McElhenney," wrote Deadpool star Reynolds on X. "Congrats to Wrexham and to my co-chairman in crime. Double up the town! This is the ride of our lives." McElhenney added: "No words."... Читать дальше...

The Spanish Aprilia rider broke the record twice in the session as he secured first place on the grid for the sprint race later in the day and Sunday's main event. He trimmed the record on his opening lap where he was chased across the line by compatriot Marc Marquez on a Gresini Ducati, in what would have been a lap record a few seconds earlier. Vinales then smashed the record he had just set, going round in 2 minutes 0.864 seconds. "Right now the combination I have with the bike is fantastic and I am able to push over the limit every time.

Coman was helped off the pitch early in the second half on Saturday, needing the assistance of two Bayern staff members as he could not put weight on his leg. Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel said Coman would definitely miss Wednesday's second leg at home to Arsenal, while the forward's participation at Euro 2024 is also at risk. The first leg of Bayern's European tie in London ended 2-2 on Tuesday. "It's a big downer which overshadows the victory a little," Tuchel said at the post-match press conference. Читать дальше...

Thousands of people in Niger's capital on Saturday protested for the immediate departure of US soldiers from the north, after the military junta in Niamey said it was withdrawing from a military agreement with Washington.

Paul Townend termed himself "a lucky boy" after he steered the co-favourite to an ultimately easy win in an Irish 1-2-3 with Delta Work second and Minella Indo third. In one of the best Nationals for years, that took place with new safety measures, 21 of the 32 runners finished with Mac Tottie being able to walk into the horse ambulance after being pulled up. Any dreams of back to back National wins for the hotly fancied Scottish runner Corach Rambler ended early as he unseated his rider Derek Fox at the first fence. Читать дальше...

Both sides scored six tries before France scrum-half Maxime Lucu missed a relatively straightforward late conversion which would have claimed victory for the hosts. Quins will play record five-time champions Toulouse or Exeter, who meet in France on Sunday, on the weekend of May 3-5 in the last four. Quins raced into a surprise 14-0 lead after just nine minutes thanks to a try from scrum-half Will Porter, standing in for the experienced Danny Care, and a penalty try. Referee Andrea Piardi awarded... Читать дальше...

The purse total surpasses last year's $18 million total, from which Spanish winner Jon Rahm took home $3.24 million. Just two years ago, Augusta National jumped the prize money from $11.4 million to $15 million for the 2022 Masters won by Scottie Scheffler, the current world number one who shares the 36-hole Masters lead with fellow Americans Max Homa and Bryson DeChambeau. This year's Masters runner-up will receive $2.16 million with third place paying $1.36 million. But the total Masters payout... Читать дальше...

After Benjamin Achimeir, 14, was reported missing near Ramallah on Friday, hundreds of Jewish settlers backed by Israeli forces raided nearby Palestinian villages, torching cars and homes, and left at least one villager dead and dozens wounded.

The mayor of nearby Al-Mughayyir village, Amin Abu Alyah, told AFP... Читать дальше...

Instead of a double-fault being called, which would have given the Italian a double break, the point played on, with Tsitsipas holding serve for 2-3. After two more games, Australian Open champion Sinner called for the trainer. "It's hard to accept it," the Italian second seed said of the call. "I was playing really well at that time." "Everyone can make a mistake. Afterwards, I had cramps, most likely because of what happened, because it also affects your nerves. "Your head is spinning, and it's difficult to play.

Amid a gruelling schedule, Pep Guardiola could hardly have wished for a kinder fixture in between the two legs of his side's Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. Guardiola made six changes from a thrilling 3-3 draw in the Spanish capital on Tuesday and City seemed set for a stress-free afternoon from the moment they opened the scoring after just two minutes. Erling Haaland's shot deflected in off the unfortunate Daiki Hashioka into his own net. Yet the floodgates refused to open... Читать дальше...

"I don't know who is at fault and who is not, but it is better to reach a compromise so that the war does not begin, and innocent people don't die," said Maryam, a 43-year-old private sector worker. Like most Iranians, Maryam has been following the news about a stand-off between Iran and Israel since a strike hit Iran's consulate in Damascus on April 1. The attack, which Tehran has blamed on Israel, killed seven members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, including two generals. Iran has since vowed to punish Israel for the attack...

In this city in the southern Urals about a hundred kilometres from the border with Kazakhstan, Budargin was one of many residents watching anxiously as water levels in the Ural River continued to rise inexorably. This is one of several major rivers flowing through Russia and Kazakhstan that have breached their banks this month, causing widespread flooding. Thousands have had to flee their homes and further evacuations are continuing, carried out by rescue services and police. "The situation is difficult right now. Читать дальше...

The American trio stood on six-under par 138 after 36 holes at the famed course, the first time since 2001 that an all-US threesome led at the halfway mark at Augusta National. Scheffler, the 2022 Masters winner, has been the oddsmakers' darling and could join Tiger Woods as the only players to win the green jacket twice while world number one. "Major championship golf has a tendency to just be very mentally grinding," Scheffler said. "You've just got to do your best to relax as much as possible... Читать дальше...

Spurs' lead over the Magpies is cut to 10 points with six games remaining, but Newcastle have a far easier run-in. Tottenham conceded five times in the opening 21 minutes of a 6-1 humiliation on their last visit to St. James' Park and were outmuscled and outclassed once more on Tyneside. Eddie Howe was forced into a switch to a back three due to Newcastle's abundance of injuries in defence. But the home side's makeshift backline was rarely troubled after Timo Werner skewed an effort wide in a bright start by the visitors. Читать дальше...

Iran's Revolutionary Guards seized an Israeli-linked cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, days after Tehran warned it would retaliate for an Israeli strike on its Syria consulate. Iran's vowed revenge on Israel is, however, likely to be "limited" as it has few military options, University of Birmingham Professor of American Studies Scott Lucas told FRANCE 24. "Iranians are acting out of weakness, not strength ... Iran could try to expand these attacks in the region to show they're tough... Читать дальше...

The 22-time Grand Slam champion has played just once, in an exhibition match, since he felt a hip injury flare-up during his quarter-final defeat by Jordan Thompson in the Brisbane Open. Nadal, who turns 38 in June, will be looking for a problem-free return as he builds towards seeking a record-extending 15th French Open title -- it runs from May 20 to June 9. The tournament has also been boosted by the return of Nadal's compatriot Carlos Alcaraz, the world No.3, who withdrew from this week's Monte Carlo Masters due to a right arm injury. Читать дальше...
