This means that Djokovic will miss his second consecutive ATP Masters 1000 tournament and two crucial events ahead of the US Open. He is a two-time champion at the Cincinnati Open and won the tournament the last time he played there, which was in 2020. He missed this week’s Canadian Open on account of the vaccine mandate in Canada as well. The Serbian player missed the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open last year as well due to injury but reached the US Open final....

The World No. 1’s visa was canceled for a second time by the Australian government on Friday. Australia’s Immigration Minister Alex Hawke said in a statement that it was in the “public interest” to do so. The matter will once again be decided in court, with a hearing set to take place on Sunday. The Serb’s lawyers submitted evidence arguing against the visa cancelation on Saturday and Stuart Fraser provided a brief run-down of the information given by Nicholas Wood and co....

While already certain of second place in Group G, Italy needed to finish their qualifying campaign with a win to guarantee a seeding in the play-off draw for Russia 2018. Italy looked set to fall short away in Shkoder on Monday before Candreva arrived at the back post to convert Leonardo Spinazzola’s deep cross in the 73rd minute. The result relieves some of the pressure on head coach Ventura, who had come under heavy criticism following Friday’s 1-1 draw with Macedonia on home soil....

Speaking to the media after beating Andrey Rublev at the 2022 ATP Finals on Wednesday, the Serb expressed delight at the news. Djokovic was deported from Australia earlier this year, mere hours before the tournament began. His unvaccinated status, coupled with some errors in the visa application form, saw the Serb being detained before eventually being deported from the country. After arriving at the Melbourne Airport in January, Djokovic argued that he had a valid medical exemption to enter the country....

Djokovic, the 20-time Grand Slam champion, was deported from Australia in January after the country’s government canceled his visa amid a political firestorm over his vaccination status. The tennis star said he had obtained a medical exemption to play in the tournament because he had recovered from a COVID-19 infection in December, 2021. But doubts were raised about the infection, which occurred in time to exempt him from a rule that barred the unvaccinated from entering Australia....

“Each of us has a duty to protect the most vulnerable among us, even those who are not yet born,” Tillis’ tweet, published on Friday afternoon, began. “I will continue my work in the Senate to end innocent, unborn lives,” his tweet concluded, adding the hashtags, “#WhyWeMarch #ProLife #MarchForLife.” Tillis later replaced the tweet with a video of himself delivering a corrected version of the same message. “I’ll continue my work in the Senate to protect innocent unborn lives,” the senator said....

Morad Ali Khan, former India shooter and member of the selection committee, said: “What was happening earlier was when the juniors were moving into seniors there were a large number of shooters who were little uncomfortable transiting from juniors to seniors. So, for a two-year period we are trying to put them into a separate category and give them all the funding that is required for training and they will be coached by the senior coaches also....

The consequence of an aircraft’s slamming into a nuclear reactor would not be a nuclear explosion. It is physically impossible for the uranium used in U.S. power plants, which typically is less than 5 percent pure, to be fashioned into a Hiroshima-type bomb: nuclear bombs contain uranium that is closer to 90 percent pure. The real danger of a terror attack is the release of radioactive contaminants. Even in that case, scenarios of mass deaths by radiation sickness are probably overdrawn....

Alternative-yoga classes like this one are becoming more common as a growing number of Americans are starting to practice yoga, bringing a greater diversity of interests to their mats. “Yoga is constantly evolving,” says Kaitlin Quistgaard, editor of Yoga Journal. “Yogis are expanding into new territory and trying new things.” Here’s a look at some of TIP SHEET’s favorite alternative-yoga classes.

Conservationists described the decline as “concerning” after finding that the vast majority of species studied in a Panamanian rain forest had seen declines in numbers of at least 50 percent between 1977 and 2020. Study lead author Dr. Henry Pollock, of the University of Illinois in the United States, said: “Many of these are species you would expect to be doing fine in a 22,000-hectare national park that has experienced no major land use change for at least 50 years....

The big deal about deGrom is that he has now struck out 50 batters through his fist four starts of the 2021 season, something that’s never been done in recorded history of the game. Jacob deGrom broke the record of 48 strikeouts, which was set, ironically, earlier this week by Cleveland Indians starter Shane Bieber. His feat of striking out 14 or more batters in three-consecutive starts has only been accomplished by two other pitchers in MLB history, which are Pedro Martinez (1999) and Gerrit Cole (2019)....

“.@realDonaldTrump, New Yorkers are bringing our city back stronger than ever. It’s nothing short of heroic,” de Blasio tweeted during the debate. “The only ‘ghost town’ will be Mar-a-Lago after you’re forced into retirement on Election Day.” While the final debate between Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden felt less chaotic than the first, the president still found plenty of time to tout his administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has left more than 220,000 Americans dead....
