Djokovic vs. Alcaraz showdown highlights final four in men’s French Open
Rafael Nadal is not playing the French Open this year, and with his absence comes a new air. Or, dare it be said, a new heir?
At only 20-years-old, Nadal’s countryman Carlos Alcaraz is the betting favorite to win the tournament as we enter the semifinals. Alcaraz is the current world No. 1 and defending U.S. Open champion.

Chasing the NBA MVP has become a fool’s errand.
In Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, Steph Curry, the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, and reigning 2015 MVP and champion, had a shitty game. He shot 6-of-19 from the field and Golden State was outscored by three points when he was on the floor.

The Vikings and running back Dalvin Cook are parting ways after six seasons, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The long-rumored split will have big time implications for fantasy managers, starting out with an increase in the value of Alexander Mattison. A talented runner who rarely had a chance to be a featured back, he’ll now be a solid No. 2 fantasy option and worth a top-50 pick in redrafts.
