The ‘King of Clay’ is calling it a career
The “King of Clay” is calling it a career.
In an announcement video posted to social media, Rafael Nadal announced that following the Davis Cup he would be stepping away from tennis. The 38-year-old will represent Spain at the Davis Cup Finals next month in Malaga.
“I am here to let you know I am retiring from professional tennis,” began Nadal in an emotional message.
“The reality is that it has been some difficult years, these two especially. I don’t think I have been able to play without limitations.

The 2024 Presidents Cup was another blowout win for the United States as it took care of the International squad 18.5-11.5 for the American’s 10th straight victory in the biennial event. While the lopsided score would suggest a not-so-exciting contest, the event created plenty of drama, and maybe even a few new rivalries in the game.
Things hit a fever pitch during Saturday afternoon’s foursomes session, particularly in the match featuring Americans Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele against Si Woo Kim and Tom Kim.

NASHVILLE, TN – Why are athletic directors and commissioners from the SEC and Big Ten meeting in Nashville on Thursday? It’s all about attacking revenue sharing while also taking a look at what life looks like for both conferences as they work together for a more profitable future. Gaining more power shouldn’t be a problem.
That word ‘viable’ might make other conference commissioners laugh, but the truth is that we are headed down a road that is filled with a lot of unknowns.

The lack of information on Bryce Young is beyond frustrating.
The Carolina Panthers are now 1-4, crashing back to earth after back-to-back losses proved the team’s problems were far deeper than average play at the quarterback position. It feels like an eon ago that Andy Dalton led to the Panthers to a huge Week 3 win over the Raiders, with his latest outing an abject disaster that saw the veteran quarterback finish 18-for-28 for 136 yards and an interception in a 36-10 blowout loss to the Bears.

If you’re tired of hearing about how running backs don’t matter and running quarterbacks are one-dimensional, this matchup is the one for you.
Back in 2016, then-Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Mularkey said that the offense he wanted to run was called “Exotic Smashmouth.” A lot of people laughed at the notion – or at least the name – but what Mularkey was talking about was no… well, malarkey.
Today is October 10 and Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn attempted to make this day “American Girls in Sports Day,” but her effort was blocked by Senate Democrats.
Blackburn chose October 10 because it’s the 10th day of the 10th month on the calendar. In Roman Numerals, it would be written as XX. Those two letters represent the chromosomes with which women are born.
This issue has come sharply into focus in recent weeks thanks to San Jose State volleyball, which has transgender player Blaire Fleming.

Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart have powered a historically dominant team all year — do the Minnesota Lynx have a chance?
BROOKLYN — To say that the New York Liberty dominated the WNBA season is a massive understatement. They finished the season with a 32-8 record, winning games by an average margin of 9.2 points. They boasted two win streaks of 8 games. They had three All-Stars, and probably could have had another.
Tennis great Rafael Nadal has announced he is retiring from the sport at the end of the season.
