Both the players had contrasting routes to the semi-final. It was a straight forward win for the sixth-seed, whereas Bencic clawed her way back into the match after losing the first set. The Ukrainian was at her dominant best against the Spanish veteran, Carla Suarez Navarro. It was not just a straight-set hammering, but a complete domination, which was exemplified by the fact that Svitolina pocketed twenty-one points more than Navarro in the entire match....

Which shouldn’t come as a surprise - the Great American Bash over the years has been host to some epic and classic pro wrestling moments since its inception. While it’s normally not fair to hold a current brand or promotion up to the same standard to one that had Sting, Ric Flair, and Dusty Rhodes - just to name a few - in their prime, well… we’re going to do it anyway....

Although the ratings for RAW continue to freefall as football season starts, there seems to be a lot of interest in one match in particular judging by the feedback I’m getting. So let’s hit the mailbag! Hi Scott, If Cena beats Brock at NoC, that’ll be his 16th reign and bring him equal with Flair. I’m sure we all accept that Cena will eventually surpass Flair’s record, but is this the right time for them to draw level?...

For those who were worried that TNA was the only wrestling promotion having a lousy week, you may rest easy. On July 31, WWE did their quarterly investor’s call, and revealed that subscriptions to the WWE Network had only increased by 30,000 over their initial reports of 667,000 in May. Now, I’m no business-minded Wall Street mogul. In fact, the only things I know about the stock market come from the little Yahoo stock app on my iPhone’s lock screen....

The endings to some of the matches on Sunday were head-scratching, but has led to many fans wondering what is actually happening with two of Monday Night RAW’s titles. The first is Apollo Crews and the United States Championship. Crews was not physically cleared to compete on Sunday so MVP declared he was the new champion via forfeit. Is MVP’s reign as US Champion about to begin or will we have to wait for Apollo to return?...

The most noticeable issues with WWE 2K20 are the well-documented bugs and glitches that plague every facet of the experience. It is rare to have a match go from bell to bell without experiencing at least one bizarre, immersion-shattering visual glitch. Some of the WWE 2K20 glitches are so outlandish that they end up being funny, whether it’s the somewhat common glitch of everyone squatting to the ground and crab walking or objects sinking into the ring....

WWE 2K22’s MyGM Mode had a few things that held it back from true greatness. One of these, the lack of tag team championships, was added in a post-launch update for WWE 2K22, but one major issue was the focus of one season. While players could always start up another MyGM mode playthrough, each one was effectively done once they were finished with a season. WWE 2K23’s MyGM mode not only fixes this, but adds even more to the experience....

All Elite Wrestling Superstar Chris Jericho chimed in on the tweet and posted a laughing smiley in response. In case you didn’t know… Ever since AEW came into being, both WWE and AEW have been throwing shade and light-hearted jibes at each other. Fans of professional wrestling are having the time of their lives watching this, as it reminds them of the notorious Monday Night Wars when WCW and WWE used to take shots at each other on a regular basis....

In case you didn’t know… At the recently concluded WWE Super ShowDown event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg competed in his very first match since the conclusion of his feud with Brock Lesnar in 2017, as the former Universal Champion made his return to in-ring competition against ‘The Phenom’ The Undertaker. Goldberg, as expected, once again stunned the WWE Universe when he caught Undertaker with two quick spears almost immediately after the match started....

WWE 2K14 is a wrestling fan’s dream in terms of the amount of content on offer. It is packed with enough modes and customization options to keep this disc in the tray for a long time. Replay value here isn’t measured in hours or even days, but months. Much of what’s here will be familiar to those who’ve played these games before, but there are some welcome additions and the signature 2K Sports attention to detail that set this game apart from previous entries....

After a few matches, it’s easy to see the objective Yuke’s and Visual Concepts had with this year’s entry - to make the gameplay mirror what fans see when they tune in to watch their favorite superstars on television. WWE 2K15 isn’t so much meant to be a true wrestling simulator, but rather a simulation of WWE programming in general as a sports entertainment product. It’s with this goal in mind that the developers made a couple of risky alterations to the core gameplay, but unfortunately those risks don’t always yield much in the way of positive results or fun gameplay....

There was something beyond making his youthful dreams come true that made Kipnis so happy. In one night, he matched his total number of hits from the previous eight games. From the start of the ALCS through Game 3 of the World Series, Kipnis was 3 for 31. And he’s hardly been alone in not hitting. “You look at probably batting averages and you look at our lineup, you’re not going to see anybody except Frankie (Lindor, currently at ....

Ahead of LCS play, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has installed the Baltimore Orioles as the 2-to-1 favorite to win it all, with the St. Louis Cardinals following closely at 5-to-2 odds. The Giants and Royals are both priced at 3-to-1, and the closeness of the numbers suggests the World Series is anyone’s to win.

Mark Newhouse had been here before, finishing ninth last year. And he carried the finalists across poker’s grandest threshold with the session’s last hand, into a four-month break to prepare to compete for millions. Newhouse eliminated series veteran Luis Velador in 10th place, calling Velador’s all-in raise behind two bettors for the last of Velador’s chips. Velador held pocket fours, Newhouse turned over pocket fives, and the community cards kept Newhouse ahead for the knockout....

Forty-eight hours later, Robertson, founder and owner of Leslie E. Robertson Associates in New York, has only gotten as far as Tokyo. He’s still struggling to get home to his family in Manhattan, and the project he spent 10 years designing and perfecting. “Beyond the reaction that any citizen has-the sadness that we all feel – you have to understand, I worked long hours, seven days a week on this project back when I was young and energetic,” says the 73-year-old, his voice breaking with emotion....
