Diallo advances to third round at Citi Open with win over Marozsan

WASHINGTON – Montreal's Gabriel Diallo advanced to the third round of the Citi Open hardcourt tennis tournament with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Hungary's Fabian Marozsan on Tuesday. Diallo, who had a first-round bye as the 15th seed in Washington, had 10 aces and broke Marozsan twice on seven chances. Marozsan, who committed six double faults, failed to convert the only chance he had to break Diallo's serve.

Raducanu defeats Kostyuk, and Norrie eliminates Musetti at the DC Open

WASHINGTON (AP) — Emma Raducanu handed No. 7 seed Marta Kostyuk her sixth consecutive loss Tuesday, defeating her 7-6 (4), 6-4 at the DC Open to prolong a slide that now has lasted more than two months. This was the fifth tournament in a row where Kostyuk exited in the first round; she also lost in the fourth round at Rome, starting the current rut. She hasn't won a match since May 11 in Rome. The 46th-ranked Raducanu, who won the 2021 U.S. Open, will face four-time major champion Naomi Osaka or Yulia Putintseva next.

(AP Photo/Nick Wass) In men's action at the hard-court tournament, Cam Norrie eliminated No. 2 seed Lorenzo Musetti 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, keeping the Italian without a win since he got injured last month at the French Open and needed to quit playing in the semifinals. Musetti lost in the first round at Wimbledon, a year after reaching the semifinals there. Holger Rune, who was seeded third in Washington, withdrew before his match Tuesday because of a back injury. Venus Williams was scheduled to play her first singles match in more than a year Tuesday night against Peyton Stearns. The 45-year-old Williams won in doubles at the DC Open on Monday.

B.C. inks trade deals with Manitoba, Yukon a day after agreement with Ontario

HUNTSVILLE, ONTARIO – British Columbia has signed two more internal trade agreements with other Canadian jurisdictions to boost trade and labour mobility, a day after a similar deal with Ontario was announced. B.C. Premier David Eby says in a statement that the province has signed separate deals with Manitoba and Yukon, agreeing to work 'to remove trade barriers between provinces and territories.' The statement says the deal signed with Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew includes measures to increase the mobility of regulated workers and professionals between the two provinces, and allowing direct alcohol sales from Manitoba to B.C. consumers. B.C. Premier David Eby, left speaks as Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew listens during a B.C. NDP campaign event in Vancouver, B.C., Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ethan Cairns B.C. alcoholic beverages can already be sold directly to consumers in Manitoba. The Yukon agreement signed with Premier Mike Pemberton focuses on the removal of trade barriers as well as the alignment of standards for regulated occupations. The deal between B.C. and Yukon is in addition to a memorandum in May that the two jurisdictions will co-operate on possibly connecting their power grids. 'With these trade agreements, we're making it easier to buy and sell our great Canadian products to our fellow Canadian neighbours,' Eby says in the statement. 'This is another important step toward building a stronger economy here at home — one that's less reliant on the U.S and works better for people.' The deals were signed at the premiers' meeting in Huntsville, Ont., where B.C.'s agreement with Ontario was made public Monday.

Ontario also announced agreements with Nunavut, Yukon and the Northwest Territories, which Premier Doug Ford said when combined with the B.C. deal would help Canada unlock roughly $200 billion in economic potential.

(Winnipeg Free Press files) Today's must-read A coalition is urging the Manitoba government to use some of its Big Tobacco settlement to set up a research and education foundation to prevent the next generation from being addicted to nicotine. 'We need to empower our kids and help them understand how dangerous nicotine is,' said epidemiologist Cynthia Carr, executive director of the Manitoba Tobacco Reduction Alliance. Ahead of the start of the claims process, Manitoba should prepare to invest some of its estimated $1.1-billion settlement toward prevention efforts targeting youth, she said. 'Punitive approaches don't work,' said Carr, who's with the non-profit whose members include the Canadian Cancer Society, Manitoba Lung Association, University of Manitoba, Pharmacists Manitoba. Carol Sanders has the story. (Jenny Kane / The Assciated Press files) On the bright side The questions were absurd, random and insulting. But that's how clueless, comically corpulent and cringe-inducing television celebrity interviewer Jiminy Glick rolls. And for Winnipeg's mayor, who bore the unrelenting brunt of the bloated, fictitious character's improvised comedy chaos at Assiniboine Park Saturday evening, it was an over-too-soon dream come true. 'I've never been a part of anything like what I experienced Saturday night,' Scott Gillingham said Monday, still basking in the glow of the exquisite pain he endured sitting on stage opposite one of Canadian comic actor Martin Short's beloved over-the-top characters. Joyanne Pursaga has more here. Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham is interviewed by Martin Short character Jiminy Glick at the Great Outdoor Comedy Festival at Assiniboine Park Saturday.
