Angel Reese sets WNBA record for most rebounds in a single season
Angel Reese is officially the queen of rebounding. The rookie forward for the Chicago Sky grabbed her 405th rebound of the season on Sunday, setting the WNBA’s all-time single season record. Reese entered Sunday with 399 rebounds, five shy of Sylvia Fowles’ record of 404 set in 2018. Reese set the new mark in the second quarter of the Sky’s game against the Minnesota Lynx. Reese is the WNBA’s leading rebounder at 12.9 per game. Earlier this season, she became the first player in league history t
Former Alabama HC Nick Saban sideswipes Bryce Young on College GameDay

US Open 2024: Navarro beats Gauff; Dimitrov defeats Rublev in five sets in last-16 singles – as it happened
Emma Navarro beat Coco Gauff, the defending champion, for the second grand slam in a row, while Grigor Dimitrov saw off Andrey Rublev in five sets
Badosa has played the big points well so far, down 30-40 and unleashing an inside-out forehand winner – though Wang will be disappointed with the return that made it happen. Another, this time down the line, brings Badosa advantage, and from there she seals her consolidation to lead 3-0.
Badosa makes 0-15 then drags a forehand wide; Wang reinforces with an ace out wide, then raises two game points with a forehand schlepped into the net. Badosa, though, saves one then clobbers a forehand winner on the leap and she’s relaxing into this, you sense. And again, we wind up at deuce, Badosa cleverly working a chance to punish a further forehand winner for advantage. But then she nets one, meaning another deuce, another Badosa forehand, into the forehand corner, yanking her another break point … and a booming rendition of the same, almost a table-tennis shot from half-court, means she leads 2-0. Wang is doing alright – well, even – but as we said at the top, if Badosa keeps the head, I’m not sure how she can be beaten here.

Manchester United 0-3 Liverpool: Premier League – as it happened
Arne Slot steered Liverpool to a comfortable win, with Mohamed Salah adding to Luis Díaz’s goals
“In terms of gamechangers,” says Rick Harris, “United do have Christian Eriksen, who has probably changed more games than Nunez, Gakpo, Elliott and Endo put together.” Ha, good point. With Mount injured and McTominay sold, he may now be Bruno Fernandes’s deputy as the No 10 – and he was sensational in that slot for Denmark against Slovenia at the Euros.
“A lot of chat about Liverpool’s contract situation,” says DDJ Stephens, “a lot about how Slot’s style is similar but more calm and patient... all good, but why is nobody talking about Nunez not getting any game time under Slot yet, despite his professed desire to make him the big nine for Liverpool?” I think he did come on for the last 20 minutes or so against Brentford, but point taken.
