Defending champion Buzarnescu was a shock casualty on Monday, the Romanian eliminated by Daria Kasatkina 6-2 6-2 in San Jose. Two-time grand slam semi-finalist Vandeweghe, meanwhile, enjoyed a winning return against Marie Bouzkova 6-2 6-4 at the WTA Premier tournament. Recurring ankle and foot injuries had left former world number nine Vandeweghe sidelined since the 2018 China Open in September, however, she celebrated a successful comeback. “It wasn’t easy. To think, five months ago, I wasn’t even walking to be here, playing, in my first…match of the year, I’m just full of emotions,” said Vandeweghe, who also snapped a nine-match losing streak in singles, dating back to the Libema Open in June last year....

Sounds weird, right? According to Curry’s father, Dell Curry, the general consensus within their family was they didn’t want the Warriors to select Curry with the No. 7 pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. Instead, they wanted him to fall to No. 8 so the Knicks could select him. Dell said Don Nelson, the Warriors coach at that time, loved what he saw in Stephen and had called Dell to get advice about drafting his son....

In other words, an alternative for those who can’t afford one of Dell’s Alienware laptops. Design & Build The Dell G5 is finished in a shade called “Interstellar Black” – in reality, the black plastic is coated with glitter. It’s not always over the top – indeed, from some angles it looks like the lid is sand-blasted – but it makes the Dell stand out. There are sizeable air vents at the rear, and the base includes RGB LEDs that make the desk glow....

The fairways are pretty wide and the rough isn’t extremely penal, so the majority of the field will be seeing good looks into the greens. I’m going to be focusing a lot on quality ball strikers this week, with an added emphasis on strokes-gained approach. Driving distance will also be a stat that I’m looking at this week. I don’t want to label TPC Boston a bombers course (Henrik Stenson has won here), but with the forgiveness of the fairways, the longer hitters do have an advantage....

The U.S. secured its spot in the 2015 World Group. The Bryans’ lopsided victory followed singles wins Friday by John Isner and Sam Querrey. The Bryans capped a remarkable week of tennis. They captured the U.S. Open title last Sunday for their 100th career tournament win and then dominated Saturday’s match that lasted only 76 minutes. Using their quick hands, they put on a volleying clinic at the net and broke serve seven times in the match before an enthusiastic crowd at the Sears Centre, 30 miles northwest of Chicago....

There has been no word about a potential Days Gone sequel on PS5 from either Sony or Bend Studio and it’s not likely there’ll be one anytime time but all signs seem to point in that direction - particularly when Bend Studio just released a PS5 update for Days Gone, adding support for 60 FPS and 4K resolution. For Days Gone 2 to surpass the original both critically and commercially and make the IP a household name for the PlayStation brand, Bend Studio must double down on what made the game unique: Hordes, government conspiracy, and the supernatural....
