Sinner swamps Auger-Aliassime in Cincinnati power display
Jannik Sinner "felt great on the court" as he annihilated Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-0, 6-2 on Thursday to reach the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Open semi-finals with his 25th straight hardcourt match victory. Sinner swamps Auger-Aliassime in Cincinnati power display The world number one powered through a rapid-fire opening set and overcame a wobble as he started the second set by dropping serve. The defending champion prevailed in a brief 71 minutes as he claimed an eighth victory in a row at this event and his 30th this season. "I felt great on the court today, you could see that," said the Italian, who turns 24 on Saturday. "But every day can be different. Let's see what I can do in the semis." Sinner, playing his first tournament since his Wimbledon triumph, will face either French qualifier Terence Atmane or Danish seventh seed Holger Rune for a place in the final. Auger-Aliassime meekly lost the opening set after less than 30 minutes, delivering three double-faults in the final game. After dropping his serve early in the second Sinner broke back to level at 2-all, eventually advancing as Auger-Aliassime coughed up his eighth double fault on match point. "I served well today, that was the key for me," Sinner said. "I had a small drop in the second set and I'm happy that I broke back. He moves and serves well, he's difficult to play." In women's action, French Open champion Coco Gauff beat Lucia Bronzetti 6-2, 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals. The second-seeded American's game showed minor rust after a bye in the previous round. "I could have maybe made some more first serves in that second set, but overall, I had a lot of aces and unreturnables," said Gauff, the 2023 Cincinnati champion who went on to win the US Open title that year. "I'm happy considering where was last week. I'm always trying to get better, but also just trying to take the little wins along the way." "I'm just trying to be happy with where I'm at now, but still doing the things I need to do to improve." Gauff, who was broken once in each set herself, finally secured a spot in the last eight with a concluding break of the 61st-ranked Italian's serve as Bronzetti hit long after 79 minutes on court. Gauf next takes on seventh seed Jasmine Paolini, who crushed 2024 Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova 6-1, 6-2. Krejcikova had treatment on her left foot in the second set and her movement was clearly hampered. Paolini, the 2024 Roland Garros and Wimbledon finalist, won seven straight games on the way to a 4-0 second-set lead and rallied from 0-30 down in the final game to advance. "She's a great player and can do anything she wants with the ball," Paolini said. "But I don't think she was at 100% today. "I'm glad I stayed in the match mentally to the last point." Gauff will play Paolini - whom she beat here two years ago on the way to the title - in her third 1000-level quarter-final of the season after Madrid and Rome. str/bb This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Brian Flores vs NFL racism row: Why Vikings coordinator, other coaches are going to trial
Brian Flores vs NFL: A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that the NFL can face civil claims from Brian Flores and other Black coaches alleging discrimination, rejecting the league's effort to force the former Miami Dolphins head coach into arbitration overseen by Commissioner Roger Goodell. Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores stands on the field during an NFL football workout in Eagan(AP) The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan upheld US District Judge Valerie Caproni's earlier decision, allowing Flores to pursue his lawsuit against the NFL and three franchises, the Denver Broncos, New York Giants, and Houston Texans. In his opinion, Circuit Judge Jose A Cabranes wrote that the league's arbitration rules, which would require Flores to bring his claims before Goodell, fail to meet the standards of the Federal Arbitration Act because they 'provide for arbitration in name only.' The NFL constitution's arbitration clause, the court said, offers 'no independent arbitral forum, no bilateral dispute resolution, and no procedure.' Instead, it 'offends basic presumptions of our arbitration jurisprudence' by placing final authority in the hands of the NFL's 'principal executive officer.' NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy responded, saying: 'We respectfully disagree with the panel's ruling, and will be seeking further review.' Attorneys Douglas H Wigdor and David E Gottlieb, representing Flores, welcomed the decision. 'This ruling sends a clear message: that practice must end,' they said, arguing that the NFL's arbitration process has long been biased and unfair. What did Brian Flores allege? Flores filed his lawsuit in February 2022, accusing the league of being 'rife with racism,' especially in hiring and promoting Black coaches. Two other coaches later joined the suit, which seeks class-action status, though Caproni previously ruled their claims must go to arbitration due to the terms of their contracts. Flores has said he knew the lawsuit could jeopardize the career he loves but pursued it for the sake of future generations, hoping to challenge systemic racism within the sport. Currently the defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, Flores previously spent over a decade with the New England Patriots (2008–2018) before serving as head coach of the Dolphins (2019–2021) and working for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022. He joined the Vikings in 2023. In a 2023 ruling, Judge Caproni noted that the coaches' accounts of discrimination in a league with a 'long history of systematic discrimination toward Black players, coaches, and managers are incredibly troubling.' She added, 'Although the clear majority of professional football players are Black, only a tiny percentage of coaches are Black.'
