Serena Williams fights past No 2 seed Anett Kontaveit in New York to keep dream of miracle US Open win alive
SERENA WILLIAMS had a thrilled Tiger Woods on up his feet in applause as she enjoyed one of her best wins since becoming a mum.
American’s finest female sports star – who is hanging up her racket after this year’s US Open – moved into the third round with a 7-6 2-6 6-2 victory over Estonian Anett Kontaveit.

But Serena Williams knocked her out with a brilliant performance[/caption]
Golfing icon Woods, 46, spoke to friend Williams about her decision to quit professional tennis after 27 years on the Tour.
And 15-time major winner Woods – who knows a thing or two about sporting miracles – was in the stands with his girlfriend Erica Herman to watch Williams knock out the second-highest seed in the women’s draw.
There are still five more matches to go, of course, but Williams remarkably remains in the hunt to equal Margaret Court’s mark of 24 Slam singles titles that has stood in the record books for 49 years.
A mark that she has been desperately chasing ever since she won the Australian Open in 2017 and then gave birth to daughter Olympia eight months later.

The Californian is not the title favourite in New York – world No.1 Iga Swiatek still has that mantle – but when she is in this mood, it is clear it will take a top performance to eliminate her from the draw.
Like in the first round, Williams was introduced to the court as the “greatest of all time” while a video montage of her career narrated by Queen Latifah was played on the big screens.
Williams, wearing the same diamond-laced outfit and shoes from Monday night, knew she had to raise her level against the highest-ranked opponent she has faced this year.
And the 40-year-old tried her best to keep the rallies short – while many disrespectful fans in the Arthur Stadium cheered Kontaveit’s double faults and unforced errors.

Indeed British umpire Alison Hughes had her work cut out to keep quiet those calling out Williams’s name throughout the match.
The crowd were up on their feet in raptures when Williams sealed the first set in the tie-break with a 91mph ace, the fifth one she had fired down by that point.
Yet whether it was fatigue or a lack of focus, Williams was unable to sustain the same level of intensity in the second set and soon found herself 3-0 down.
The fifth game was notable because from 40-0 up, she contrived to surrender her serve and from there Kontaveit won the next three games to level up at 1-1 in sets.
Williams, who turns 41 in September, was certainly fired up in the third set and started arguing with the umpire about the line calling.
In the end, it did not matter as she rediscovered her mojo to book a third-round appointment on Friday against either Russian Evgeniya Rodina or Australian Ajla Tomljanovic.

She was joined by Erica Herman and later shared a greeting with Venus Williams[/caption]
Before then, there is the small matter of a first-round doubles match with her elder sister Venus on Thursday night under the floodlights.
Serena said: “I’m loving this crowd and it’s really fantastic so – there’s still a little left in me.
“I love rising to the challenge. I haven’t played many matches but i’ve been practicing really well. The last couple of matches here it’s really come together.
“After I lost the second set I thought ‘Oh my goodness I want to give my best effort because this could be it’. I just kept trying and it was super exciting.

“I’m super competitive. Honestly I’m just looking at it as a bonus. I don’t have anything to prove or anything to win.
“I’ve had an X on my back since 1999. I’m enjoying just coming out and playing like this.”
KSI fight – UK start time, live stream, PPV price, TV channel and undercard for Swarmz and Luis Pineda fights
KSI makes his big return to the boxing ring… and he’s fighting not once but TWICE.
The YouTube superstar’s original opponent Alex Wassabi had to pull out because of an injury sustained in his training camp, and instead he faces rapper Swarmz and then Mexican pro boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda on the same night.

Wassabi wrote on Instagram to confirm he was pulling out: “With all these rumours going around, there’s only two things that are true.
“I’ve recently suffered a serious injury and I will be back very soon.
“You don’t play with concussions. New fight date announcement on the way.”
So KSI will face BOTH Swarmz and Pineda instead, and that’s despite Jake Paul’s calls for HIM to be chosen as the Brit’s next opponent.

Why is KSI not fighting Ivan Nikolov on Saturday?
Originally KSI was announced to fight pro boxer Ivan Nikolov as his boxing opponent in the secondary main event.
But Nikolov has since been pulled from the card and replaced by Pineda.
This is because Nikolov, 43, has been seen to have neo-Nazi tattoos, causing fan fury.
A “white power” tattoo is seen on his stomach and on his left forearm, Nikolov has a tattoo of the words “Blood & Honour”.
That is the name of a neo-Nazi skinhead group formed in England in the 1980s.
Also in between the words is a triskele symbol, a three-pointed swastika which was the logo for the group.
Nikolov also has a Schutzstaffel logo on his right arm, which was the police and military force of the Nazi Party, who pledged an oath of loyalty to Germany’s ex-dictator Adolf Hitler.
His neo-Nazi tattoos were pointed out by one of his previous opponents, Daniel Blenda Dos Santos, who slammed the boxer after winning their fight in April.
Dos Santos said: “When I saw his tattoos, some of them racist in nature, I wanted to hurt him.”
KSI, 29, responded to the allegations on his YouTube channel and confirmed Nikolov was replaced due to his tattoos.
He said: “He’s a white supremacist
“Ivan isn’t my opponent anymore. He has been removed.
“The matchmaker also got fired for allowing this to happen in the first place. But yes, my new opponent is Luis Alcaraz Pineda.”

What has been said?
“Just wanna say that at the end of the day, the one of the main goals of this first fight was to get rid of ring rust,” KSI said after the announcement.
“I wanted to prove to myself that I’m a better boxer than I’ve portrayed in the past. If you wanna see, fine.
“If not, fine. I’m still doing it anyway. There are still many good fights on this card that I’m excited to see.
“We are the only YouTube boxing event happening this summer.
“We’ve had many things try to disrupt this event but still we stand. This is a long term play, and I’ll happily take a small L now for a big W later.”
Jake Paul, however, has had a few things to say about the fight.
“KSI vs Swampz… Dod’t they have music together?” he wrote on Twitter.
“He’s fighting someone who has never fought before and that is his friend…
“This fight should for free.”

Thirsty Suitors’ thrilling fights and sexy exes are giving me major heart palpitations
During last year’s Game Awards, Falcon Age developers Outerloop announced Thirsty Suitors, a stylish story-driven RPG about battling your exes and disappointing your parents. Since then, the team have been keeping game details under wraps, but now thanks to the Annapurna Interactive showcase, Outerloop have released a free Steam demo, meaning now we can all have a go at beating the pulp out of our exes – a dream come true.
You play as Jala, a young woman who just got booted out of her shared apartment after having a fight with her, now, ex-partner. With nowhere else to go, she’s decided to take the bus back to her hometown of Timber Hills to move back in with her parents (hopefully, temporarily). While she’s killing time on the journey, she begins to take a dating personality quiz aptly titled ‘What’s your Thirstsona?’ and it transports her to a colourful dreamlike metaverse where she can skate around and answer deep questions about her love life. Is she really a lost cause in love?
