A recent women’s tennis match ended in a tearful retirement after a controversial call sparked a tense back-and-forth between two players at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
In the opening set of Tuesday’s round of 32 match, Chinese tennis player Zhang Shuai hit a crosscourt shot that appeared to land on the line on the side of her opponent Amarissa Toth. However, a line judge called the ball out and the chair umpire got down to examine the ball mark before confirming the line judge’s call.

The Patriots can’t fire Belichick, right?
There aren’t many figures in the NFL who appear “untouchable.” It’s a realm of success so unattainable, so impossibly unlikely, that there’s almost nobody that feels like they can call their own shots in football.
Bill Belichick has always been one of those people, but perhaps not for much longer.
Increasing whispers out of New England are getting louder, and now it’s appearing like Belichick is on the hot seat.
When an NFL star is traded to a new team, it often doesn’t feel like it’s actually “real” until the first photo in the team’s full uniform is unveiled. For Jets fans, Wednesday has to feel like a day worth celebrating as their offseason acquisition, star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, feels completely real now.
The Jets dropped the first look at Rodgers in green and white, and while fans of the team were more than excited, it didn’t stop general NFL fans from making plenty of jokes.

1. Nick Saban is a great head coach but terrible connoisseur of desserts.
At SEC media day on Wednesday, Saban revealed that his favorite cake is carrot cake. In fact, when he was asked about his favorite cake, he said, “Carrot cake. That’s easy.
Draymond Green loves talking about punching Jordan Poole in the face.
The Golden State Warriors never really recovered from Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole in training camp to begin their title defense ahead of the 2022-2023 season. The first reports of Green punching Poole in practice happened in early Oct., with video surfacing a few days later. The incident seemed to hang over Golden State all year: the Warriors finished as the No. 6 seed in the West at 44-38, and eventually were upset in the second round of the NBA Playoffs by the Los Angeles Lakers.
Former NFL running back LeSean McCoy gave his take on the New York Giants’ prioritizing QB Daniel Jones over running back Saquon Barkley. As a card-carrying member of the running back brotherhood, the panelist on FS1’s Speak made it clear he thinks they made the wrong decision.
He gave his take on whether it would be better to invest in a Bently — in this case Barkley — or a house, which was analogous to Jones.
Not only did the former Eagle, Bill, Chief, and Buccaneer pick Barkley, he disagreed with the entire premise about Jones being a house.
He thinks he’s more of a garage.
NASHVILLE — Nick Saban was not blown away by the quarterback play during Alabama’s spring practice, through the spring game. As a result, he added former Notre Dame signal-caller Tyler Buchner to a quarterback room with Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson through the transfer portal.
Rare Air: Alabama Is Worried About Its Quarterback Situation? Nick Saban Felt The Need To Add Competition
There is a lot of speculation about the Crimson Tide’s plan at that position.
Some pundits believe that it is Simpson’s job to lose. Others feel as though Milroe is ready to step up.
Giants reliever Tyler Rogers has the funkiest delivery in the majors. He’s a classic submarine pitcher, bending down toward the ground and almost scraping his knuckles along the dirt of the mound as he delivers the pitch. He has the slowest average fastball velocity in the majors (82.7 mph) but he’s among the best in the bigs at limiting hard contact because his delivery is so deceptive and unorthodox.
It turns out his pickoff move is pretty deceptive too.
