ATP Chair Umpire Gives Three Point Penalties After Bizarre Emergency Toilet Break in Italy
An unusual scene transpired at the ATP Challenger event in Turin during a tense third-round match between Italy's Luca Nardi and Argentina's Mariano Navone. A match that was going viral on social media not much for the tennis but for an unexpected and urgent trip to the bathroom. With the deciding set locked at 5-5, Nardi, feeling an urgent need, dashed off court for an emergency toilet break just before he was due to serve. Advertisement While ATP rules typically restrict mid-set bathroom breaks, especially in such late stages- the chair umpire allowed it under exceptional circumstances, citing the player's visible distress. However, as the serve clock continued to tick during Nardi's extended absence, the chair umpire monitored the delay and, upon his return, penalized him with three consecutive point penalties for exceeding the allotted time. As a result, Nardi had to start his service game at 0-40, a massive moment at such a critical juncture in the match. Navone capitalized on the free points to break Nardi and serve for the match at 6-5. But Nardi, undeterred by the bizarre interruption and the momentum shift, dug deep. He broke back immediately, forcing a tiebreak and eventually prevailing in dramatic fashion to claim the final set 7-6(2). With the victory, Nardi advances to the next round and will face Ugo Carabelli next. However, the Italian crowd in Turin will be chuckling about this one-of-a-kind moment for weeks to come. Nardi meanwhile, will probably remember to take bathroom breaks in between sets rather than in between games in his next match.

UConn's Alex Karaban set to return for senior year: 'My heart remains in Storrs'
Two-time national champion Alex Karaban wants one more shot at reaching the mountaintop in Storrs. The UConn star announced Tuesday morning that he is running it back for his senior season, a rare situation in modern-day college basketball for a player to stay at his school for all four years of his career. Connecticut head coach Dan Hurley has always said Karaban is the perfect fit for his program, so if there was a guy to make this move, the 6-foot-8 Massachusetts native is the poster boy for it. Averaging 14.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game this past year, Karaban earned second-team All-Big East honors. This return is a sign of the benefits of NIL, with Karaban being able to earn seven figures during his senior year of college, as opposed to going the pro route where he would likely be in the G League next season. This is massive news for UConn, which will be a top-10 team in my FOX Sports Preseason Top 25 rankings. The Huskies return Solo Ball, Tarris Reed and Jaylen Stewart, while also ushering in the nation's ninth-ranked recruiting class, headlined by Georgia transfer Silas Demary and five-star guard Braylon Mullins. Karaban will look to capitalize on some unfinished business after the Huskies fell in the first weekend of this past year's NCAA Tournament and were knocked out in the Big East Tournament semifinals. "I pride myself on accepting challenges and holding myself to the highest standard," Karaban said in a social media post. "Last year, we didn't achieve what we set out to, and I am not running from a chance to make that right. After deliberating the last few weeks with my coaches and family about my future, I've realized that my heart remains in Storrs, and I have unfinished business to chase another national championship with my brothers." Hurley also announced the addition of former Villanova interim head coach and assistant Mike Nardi to his staff. Nardi, who was a four-year starter at Villanova from 2003-07, spent the last decade on the Main Line and was a part of Jay Wright's dynasty with national championships in 2016 and 2018. After Kevin Willard did not retain Nardi, who served as interim after Kyle Neptune was fired and led Villanova to the College Basketball Crown semifinals, Nardi was looking for a new spot. The timing worked perfectly with UConn legend Tom Moore moving to the general manager chair in Storrs, opening the door for Hurley to hire a top-tier assistant who adds to Connecticut's championship pedigree. The bricks are being laid in Storrs for a reload in 2025-26 and UConn looks more than poised to go at St. John's for the top spot in the Big East. Expect that rivalry to only keep intensifying next season. John Fanta is a national college basketball broadcaster and writer for FOX Sports.

The Weirdest Car To Ever Race The 24 Hours Of Le Mans Was A Pair Of Torpedos With A German Motorcycle Engine
The scientific study of automotive aerodynamics was still practically in its infancy in 1955 when Enrico Nardi—yes, the steering wheel guy—rolled the ridiculous monster pictured above onto the grid at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Looking to beat the French at their own small-displacement race car game, alongside other Italian hopefuls Stangeullini, and Moretti. Nardi hired engineer Carlo Mollino to design a car as slippery as possible for the high-speed straights of Mulsanne, France, to make the best of the 750cc class displacement limit. And, what slips through the air better than a torpedo? Take one part BMW 750cc motorcycle and one part Fiat 500, wrap it in as little bodywork as possible, and you've got yourself the weird and wonderful 1955 Nardi Bisiluro. This might just be the most unique and ambitious privateer projects in the long history of the twice-round-the-clock race through the French countryside. I love it dearly, and I want to share its story with you. The Bisiluro, literally twin-torpedo, is best broken down into three parts. The driver compartment is the larger of the two asymmetrical fuselages, housing all of the car's controls and instruments. The left side is home to the engine and transmission, a BMW motorcycle 750cc engine built up by Giannini Automobili making a claimed 62 horsepower to the rear wheels. My favorite part of the car, however, is the massive art-deco radiator housed by the bridge between the two halves. That bridge, meanwhile, is shaped on the top and underside like a reverse airplane wing, allegedly helping to stick the car to the track with aerodynamic downforce. When the car showed up to Le Mans, it also had a little party trick in that a large panel of the center section would lift up under braking to create a large aerodynamic drag air brake. Unfortunately that part of the plan was scrapped at the last minute because the Le Mans rulebook required (and still does require to this day) a second seat for a riding mechanic. Read more: What's The Point Of Mid-Grade Gasoline? Again, this whole thing was built on the chassis of Italy's post-war people's car, the incredible Fiat 500. Using that tiny car as a backbone meant the Nardi Bisiluro is also quite tiny, and weighs practically nothing. Allegedly this car weighs around 880 pounds ready to race. The concept proved itself absolutely perfectly in practice ahead of the 24 Hour, as the car was capable of around 137 miles per hour. Sure, that's a far cry from the 180-ish mph speeds that the fastest Ferraris and Jaguars were capable of, but they were running four or five times as much engine! The Nardi's speeds put it well ahead of the rest of its 750cc class competition, and on par with the speeds Porsche had in its well-developed 1.5-liter 550 RS Spyder. The 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans will forever be remembered for the incredibly tragic crash which launched Pierre Levegh's Mercedes 300SLR into the gathered crowds, killing 84 and injuring a further 120. There's no way around that. Nardi's absurd little machine is a mere footnote in that year's race, as it crashed just past the two-hour mark of the race. According to reports from Enrico Nardi at the time, the car lost its footing in the turbulent wash as a faster Jaguar D-Type sprinted past at full speed. The air kicked up by the passing Jag literally blew the lightweight torpedo off its course and into the weeds. It was the failure of the Bisiluro, combined with the tragedy of Le Mans, that pushed Enrico Nardi to move away from building and racing cars. From the mid-1950s onward the company focused primarily on aftermarket components for other cars, including engine hop up parts. Obviously the company's best known product today was its wooden steering wheels, typically crafted from African mahogany. Nardi did sell a limited edition commemorative replica of its flat-bottomed Bisiluro steering wheel decades later, and examples still fetch into the several thousands of dollars at auction. The Bisiluro remains a very strange, if tiny, piece of motorsport history. It's been 70 years since this car competed, and if it weren't for this totally unorthodox design, it would have been utterly lost to time. And yet, despite its uncompetitive effort, I adore this plucky little machine. Remember the Bisiluro, for as long as you can. One of Italy's own prototypes, too weird to live, and too rare to die.
