Djokovic, who arrived in Melbourne with a medical exemption last week, had his visa canceled by the Australian Border Force. He was then housed in a facility meant for detainees while his lawyers appealed the decision in court. Djokovic won the case and had his visa reinstated. But this wasn’t the end of the saga. Hawke exercised his “personal power” and repealed the Serb’s visa once again, forcing him to return to the courts for recourse....

With scores level in the 81st minute, Lukaku gave the hosts a reprieve when he turned Antonio Valencia’s cross over the bar from point-blank range. Lukaku 15/8 first scorer v Basel The 24-year-old had earlier fired the visitors into a 2-1 lead, only for Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to quickly restore parity from a corner for his second of the match. Lukaku’s second-half strike boosted his tally to four goals from four Premier League matches, with Mourinho insisting the Belgian’s overall package consists of more than just hitting the scoresheet....

I was especially surprised because my daughter, who is now 9-years-old, was born here in the United States. My daughter has rights, just like other people who were born here have rights, because she is an American. As an American citizen, my daughter should also receive relief money in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was meant to give taxpayers relief of as much as $1,200 each, as well as $500 for each of their children under the age of 17....

Germany international Muller endured a difficult time under the recently-sacked Carlo Ancelotti, stating earlier this season: “I don’t know exactly what qualities the coach wants to see”. Muller’s struggles to fit into Ancelotti’s system were demonstrated by the fact he scored just five Bundesliga goals last term and has only one to his name this season. There was even speculation Muller might consider his future at the Allianz Arena, but the departure of Ancelotti and consequent return of Jupp Heynckes – who he won the treble under in the past – has seemingly ended any notion of that possibility....

The Suns were unexpectedly ousted by the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Semifinals. They were eliminated in embarrassing fashion, losing 123-90 in Game 7 of the series in front of their home crowd. It was the beginning of an eventful offseason for the Suns. As they dealt with a rollercoaster of emotions following the loss, many speculated that the Suns would move on from big man Deandre Ayton. The team decided to re-sign the former first-overall pick after matching the Indiana Pacers’ four-year, $133 million offer sheet....

Roddick also said that not allowing players to have additional bathroom breaks during late-night matches at the Australian Open is “dumb.” Murray, 35, created ripples in the tennis world as he scripted a sensational comeback to qualify for the third round of the ongoing Australian Open. The Brit beat Kokkinakis, 4-6, 6-7(4), 7-6(5), 6-3, 7-5, to win the longest match of his career, which ended at 4:05am local time....

The Gunners have found the going tough during trips to Liverpool in recent years, with their last success on the red half of Merseyside coming back in September 2012. Arsene Wenger would have been hoping for a reversal in fortune during his side’s latest visit, but an abject display from his side saw them enter the interval 2-0 down and looking alarmingly out of sorts. Former Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville was on commentary duty for Sky Sports at Anfield and was less than impressed by what he saw from the visitors – a side which included Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil amid intense transfer speculation....

When I started By Chari in 2012 I had to open a new bank account with just $100. Eventually, I built a little website and was selling to local stores. But as the business started to grow I found I was flying back to Los Angeles a lot to get supplies and materials. So in 2016, I decided it was time to take a deep breath, a big leap and go back to live there....

Messi caused a stir with the ‘call me’ celebration after scoring in Barcelona’s 5-0 La Liga thrashing of Celta Vigo on Saturday. Is Ramos the world’s best big-game player? It was believed Messi was gesturing to the club about his contract situation, although it was later said it was aimed at his nephew. Just days later and Ramos repeated it after netting in Madrid’s 3-1 victory as the Spanish giants completed a 6-2 aggregate win in the Champions League last-16....

After three-peating with the young Kobe and winning the Miami Heat her first championship with the 24-year-old Wade, Shaq started to bounce around the league towards the end of his career. His partnership with James earned the Cavs the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, they were eliminated by the Boston Celtics in the conference semi-finals. In an excerpt from his book “Shaq Uncut,” Big Diesel recounted his experiences with Bryant, Wade and James, O’Neal went on to say that the way he was treated in the park...

James could be included in Bayern Munich’s starting XI on Wednesday when the Bundesliga champions have home advantage in the first leg of the semi-final. The Colombia international fell down the pecking order during his second season at Madrid, leading to his departure on a two-year loan deal to Bayern, who have the option to make the move permanent. Left out of their squad for the Champions League final last year, he now has the chance to knock his parent club out of this season’s competition....

The Argentine playmaker has endured a tough 12 months in the French capital, sparking talk of a potential exit. Verratti: Zlatan a leader & role model Injury issues have plagued the 27-year-old, severely restricting his time out on the field. He has made just seven appearances in all competitions this season, with only five of those coming in PSG’s defence of their Ligue 1 crown. His last outing came in November, when he lasted 13 minutes, with a knee complaint ruling him out of Unai Emery’s plans for PSG’s last six fixtures....

The South American giants will be among the favourites to claim international football’s biggest prize in Qatar. They will be aiming to win their third World Cup and become world champions for the first time since 1986. The tournament is Lionel Messi’s fifth and almost certainly final FIFA World Cup. The 34-year-old will want to claim the one prize that has eluded him throughout his career. Following Argentina’s successful summer in which they trounced Italy in La Finalissima, Martinez has revealed that he is ‘obsessed’ with the idea of having a successful tournament in Qatar....

Djokovic was training with Aslan Karatsev, with members of the Serb’s support staff in attendance. The conditions prevalent were extremely windy, causing clay to fly around, which reportedly upset the World No. 1. As per the reports, Karatsev did not endure much of a problem while returning shots even though the wind played spoilsport. Djokovic, on the other hand, wasn’t one bit pleased about his shots, bellowing out in frustration to coach Goran Ivanisevic at one point....

The 30-year-old centre-back started his second game of the season against the high-flying Reds. His only other league appearance came in a 1-0 defeat to Wolves in January. Ragnick’s decision to start Jones as part of a back five against their great rivals was a huge surprise to Manchester United fans, which didn’t pay off. Liverpool won the historic clash 4-0. They completely dominated the visitors from start to finish at Anfield as Jurgen Klopp’s side made it 11 wins in 12 Premier League games....

Since her brilliant run to the title at the US Open last year, the 19-year-old has failed to make any kind of impact on the circuit. She lost three of the five matches she played towards the end of the 2021 season and started 2022 in terrible fashion, losing 6-0, 6-1 to Elena Rybakina in Sydney. As such, Schett reckons Raducanu might struggle to deliver on her Australian Open debut next week....

Opining on the controversial events of the Abu Dhabi GP to The Race, the Spaniard said that he believed there was nothing wrong with the decisions taken in the season finale. The double world champion also felt the replacement of the race director was a result of the restructuring and changes made by the new FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem. Alonso said: On the new FIA president and the restructuring, the Alpine driver admitted that he appreciated the new FIA president and his approach, saying:...

Southampton were brilliant, and they could’ve potentially come away with all 3 points. The Saints had a potential penalty-call go against them and a Kyle Walker red card was taken away by a controversial VAR decision. Manchester City amped up the pressure late on during the second half and themselves saw a VAR decision rule out a late winner. Phil Foden’s header off the post was put in by Raheem Sterling, who was adjudged to have been off-side....

The Reds host Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday with concerns over Sadio Mane, Adam Lallana, Jordan Henderson and Nathaniel Clyne. Injury-hit Reds 7/4 to lose or draw Mane featured for Senegal during the international break having previously struggled with a hamstring problem and has been in full training this week, while Lallana is yet to play this season after suffering a thigh injury. Klopp, who missed training on Wednesday to go to hospital after feeling unwell, first gave an update on his own well-being....

Julia Haferman, who taught fourth grade at Bradford Preparatory School in Charlotte, told the Charlotte-based news station WSOC-TV that she was approached by school officials on the second day of the fall semester. The officials told Haferman she had been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 and that they received complaints from students who said she was not masked while walking near them, she said. “It was a false allegation,” Haferman said during a recorded interview with WSOC-TV....
