Venus Williams set for remarkable US Open comeback at the age of 45 after shock return to tennis
Two-time former US Open champion Venus Williams has been handed a wild card into this month's tournament at the age of 45. The seven-time Grand Slam winner made a surprise comeback to tennis earlier this summer after more than a year out of the sport, and she will be back under the bright lights in New York later this month. Williams showed she can still compete after beating fellow American Peyton Stearns in the first round at the Washington Open last week. And now the former world No 1 is set to become the oldest singles player to compete at Flushing Meadows since Renee Richards, aged 47 in 1981. It will be Williams' 25th appearance at the New York major, 25 years after she first won it in 2000. She is also on the entry list for the new-look mixed doubles event alongside another American, Reilly Opelka. The decision to play at Flushing Meadows comes soon after she opened up on the depths of her recent health struggles, a year on from having surgery to remove fibroids from her uterus. The tennis icon, who recently confirmed her engagement to her actor boyfriend Andrea Preti, took a 16-month break from tennis due to the issue, returning to the court back in July. Now, for the first time, Williams has revealed just how much her condition was impacting her life away from tennis in a moving Instagram post 12 months on from her operation in New York. 'On this day 1 year ago I was having surgery, an open myomectomy to remove fibroids and a large focal adenomyoma that was imbedded in the muscle of my uterus,' Williams wrote on Instagram. 'What a difference a year makes! I played my first tournament in over 16 months and I am now preparing for the US Open. This post is in celebration of the last day of fibroid awareness month. There can be happy endings!'

Joe Ryan shuts down Yankees as Twins halt Bronx losing streak
August 14 - Kody Clemens highlighted a three-run sixth-inning rally with a two-run double, Joe Ryan pitched 6 2/3 stellar innings and the visiting Minnesota Twins earned a 4-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night following a lengthy rain delay. After a one-hour, 52-minute delay, the Twins broke a nine-game losing streak to the Yankees, earning their first win over them since April 26, 2023. Minnesota also won for just the sixth time in its past 34 regular-season visits to New York. Clemens entered the pivotal at-bat in an 0-for-18 skid, coming up after infield hits by Byron Buxton and rookie Luke Keaschall. He gave the Twins a 3-1 lead by hitting a double to center field off Yerry De Los Santos (0-1) and took third when center fielder Trent Grisham bobbled the ball for an error. After Mark Leiter Jr. relieved De Los Santos and notched two outs, Royce Lewis lined a two-strike double to left field for a 4-1 lead. Those clutch hits were enough for Ryan (12-5), who allowed one run on four hits. Ryan fanned seven and walked two in a season-high 102-pitch outing, including a strikeout of Aaron Judge in the first following a leadoff single by Grisham. Cody Bellinger homered for the Yankees, who lost for the eighth time in 12 games. After Bellinger reached the second deck in right field in the third, Ryan permitted only two more baserunners. Ryan allowed a one-out double to Anthony Volpe in the seventh, but reliever Kody Funderburk came on to strike out Austin Wells to end the inning. Justin Topa retired Aaron Judge and Bellinger in a 1-2-3 eighth and recorded the final six outs for his second save. New York rookie Cam Schlittler allowed one run on two hits in five innings. The right-hander struck out six and walked two. Schlittler retired the Twins' first nine hitters before walking Trevor Larnach and allowing a double to Byron Buxton in the fourth. Larnach scored the tying run on a groundout by Keaschall. --Field Level Media

Broncos Ring of Fame WR Lionel Taylor dies at 89
August 14 - By Field Level Media Lionel Taylor, a member of the Denver Broncos' Ring of Honor and the first pro receiver to make 100 receptions in a season, died on Aug. 6 at age 89, the team announced on Wednesday. Taylor also was the first Black man to hold a coordinator job in the NFL, according to NFL Films, when he served as the Los Angeles Rams' offensive coordinator in 1980 and '81. Taylor made eight appearances for the Chicago Bears in 1959 before jumping to the new American Football League in 1960 with the Broncos. He played seven years in Denver, winning first-team All-Pro honors four times and making the Pro Bowl three times. In 1960, he had an AFL-high 92 catches for 1,235 yards and 12 touchdowns in 12 games, then followed up by logging 100 receptions for 1,176 yards and four scores in 14 games the next year. Taylor topped the AFL in receptions five times during his stint with the Broncos. He concluded his playing career by playing for the Houston Oilers in 1967 and '68. In nine AFL seasons and 113 games, Taylor amassed 567 catches for 7,195 yards and 45 touchdowns. He still ranks among the Broncos' all-time top five in each of those categories as he totaled 543 catches for 6,872 yards and 44 scores for Denver. Taylor was the Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receivers coach for two Super Bowl championships in the 1970s before heading up the Rams' offense. The Broncos inducted Taylor into their Ring of Fame as part of the inaugural group in 1984.
