Briton blown away in straight sets by Italy's Giorgi US Open champion suffers second set collapse Raducanu to play in Cincinnati next ahead of Flushing Meadows title defence E mma Raducanu slumped to a straight sets defeat against reigning champion Camila Giorgi at the National Bank Open in Toronto, and admitted she needed to get better at coping with the pace of play at the top level. The first-round loss marked less than ideal preparations for world No 10 Raducanu, 19, as she looks towards her US Open title defence later this month. It was a disappointing early exit for Raducanu's debut in Toronto, the city she was born in before moving to the United Kingdom as a toddler. The one hour 49-minute 7-6(0), 6-2 loss followed a similar pattern to her quarterfinal defeat at last week's Citi Open to Liudmila Samsonova in Washington, DC, where she was hampered by blisters on her hands. There, after losing a tightly fought first-set tiebreak, Raducanu wilted against her … [Read more...] about Emma Raducanu suffers latest blow as she crashes out of Canadian Open

Americans Among 8 Injured In Jerusalem Shooting | The Daily Wire
American citizens were injured among the eight people hurt in a reported Palestinian shooting near Jerusalem’s Western Wall on Sunday, according to Israeli police. The alleged shooter, identified as Amir Sidawi, turned himself in after initially fleeing the scene and being pursued in a large-scale manhunt. “A very serious incident, a serious attack with serious consequences. I am happy that the terrorist is in our hands,” Commissioner of the National Police Yaakov Shabtai said regarding the attack (English translation). Jerusalem District Commander Superintendent Doron Turgeman noted that the massive search likely led to the alleged shooter’s surrender. “In the end, the hunt and a very strenuous investment by the police and Shin Bet. We created significant pressure–which probably led to his extradition,” Turgeman added in a statement to reporters. The identities of those injured have not yet been released.
