Del Potro retired as a result of a fall during his third-round match against Borna Coric at the Shanghai Masters this week. The world number four looks unlikely to play in the season-ending showpiece in London next month after undergoing medical examinations on Saturday. Jorge Viale, the Argentine’s spokesperson, revealed the 30-year-old was fitted with a splint on his right leg and will be informed by doctors of a recovery process in the coming days....

A dozen friends from del Potro’s hometown of Tandil have gained fame in Flushing Meadows, their serenade of “Ole, ole, ole – Del-Po, Del-Po” an infectious accompaniment to his every match. Despite Del Potro’s affectionate post-match teasing, they’re more than a boozy bunch of boyhood friends. They’re the people who helped him through when it seemed recurring wrist injuries would end his career. The nadir came in 2015, when multiple surgeries had failed to produce a solution....

Northumbria Police said they believe another man got inside the delivery driver’s blue Citroen Berlingo which had been parked outside of the property at the time. The vehicle then collided with the delivery driver before fleeing the scene, police said, adding that the reason for the suspected hit and run is “yet to be established.” Police officers responded to the scene after receiving a report of a road traffic collision at 2....

This laptop tries to combine a large screen with a slick design that’s slimmer and lighter than most rivals – and it also attempts this while including enough power to scythe through tough content-creation and work tasks. A true desktop replacement? Let’s find out. Design & Build The XPS 17 doesn’t break the mould, but that’s not a bad thing: the carbon-fibre coating and a shining aluminium body make for a modern laptop classic....

A statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office Eastern District of New York released on Thursday detailed the September 22 incident. Jordan Nixon, 21, Janessa Torres, 21, and Johara Zavala, 44, were supposed to be on a Delta flight to San Juan, Puerto Rico, but appeared too intoxicated to board. According to the New York Daily News, prosecutors said the flight had been delayed from morning to midday, so the three women killed time by ordering nine drinks at an airport bar....

The 28-year-old center, who suffered a torn left quadriceps in the Warriors’ shocking Game 2 loss to the Clippers earlier this week, will not need surgery, coach Steve Kerr told reporters Wednesday. Cousins is still unlikely to be back on the court in the playoffs, Kerr said, but the team isn’t ruling him out just yet. “DeMarcus, most likely, will not be back during the playoffs,” Kerr said. “You’re probably looking at a couple months’ recovery, so it’s unlikely....

Dembele was quickest to a poor clearance of a corner kick by Sociedad’s defense in the 66th minute, rifling a left-footed shot through a crowd while goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli was off his line. The goal gave the defending champions four wins in as many rounds of the Spanish league. That left Barcelona alone at the top of the table at two points ahead of Real Madrid, which drew at Athletic Bilbao 1-1....

The attendant violence isn’t new, either. I’ve seen white police officers beating marchers demanding the vote as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala. I saw rocks thrown at children integrating schools. Closer to home, my childhood eyes saw cops viciously beat a neighbor while arresting him for outstanding parking tickets. I heard his cries, saw his head bleeding and saw their red faces twisted in rage. It was Derek Chauvin’s white rage: casual murder, delivering 9 minutes and 29 seconds of torture—simply because he could....

With the president’s much heralded pledges to lower emissions still fresh in the memory, the auction will allow oil companies to bid for 80 million acres of federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico. “This sale is the antithesis of the hard work we all put in to re-establish our nation’s leadership on the climate change issue after four years of disengagement on the world stage by the previous administration,” said Rep....

The announcement came on Tuesday, as the Department of Education sought to provide clarification on how funding in the $2.2 trillion CARES Act stimulus package, which was approved by Congress last month, could be used to support college students. In a fact sheet released on the emergency relief fund, the department made clear that grants could only be given to students who are eligible for federal aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act, thereby excluding students who are Dreamers, who are able to live, study and work in the U....

Turnout was also up slightly in the contested governor’s race, while DeSantis ran unopposed. But one grassroots group sees troubling signs within the turnout data, and worries about what it could mean for the general election in increasingly red Florida if Democrats don’t take the right lessons from the results. Mi Vecino, a group created in the wake of the 2020 election to turn around Democratic fortunes in the state, has raised $1....

Republican incumbents facing tough re-elections races in Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky, Maine and North Carolina all raised significantly less cash than their Democratic rivals in the first three months of 2020. These contests are some of the best opportunities Democrats have to flip the seats and regain the Senate majority in November. They’re rapidly becoming some of the most expensive and contentious matchups in the country. In Kentucky, for example, the multi-million dollar ad war between Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Amy McGrath started 16 months before Election Day....

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) both voiced their desire for more action to be taken under the Biden administration, as they commented on the latest agreement. A joint statement from the pair said: “The emergency relief in this agreement, the second largest in history only to the CARES Act, is an important first step that Democrats look forward to building on under the new Biden-Harris Administration to meet the remaining needs of the American people during this historic health and economic crisis....

As expected of the first game in the Souls series, there are some serious and seriously memorable bosses in the Demon’s Souls remake. One of the most memorable is the Tower Knight, which many players are facing for the first time in the remake. It can be a tough fight for the uninitiated, but unlike other bosses, there’s an in-game established multi-step path to take down this boss, and here it is....

Yi and 30 of his classmates moved to Little Zhang Village after graduating this summer. Now they spend their days hanging out in Internet bars, waking each other up to go to job fairs, swapping job leads–and helping each other out with grocery money. “It’s just too competitive this year,” Yi said of his job hunt. “I feel guilty because I’ve graduated and still have to spend my parents’ money....

Answers by Delanie Walker, NFC champion with the 49ers (2012) What do coaches and players do with the extra time during a Super Bowl’s halftime? In a normal halftime, guys come in and the first thing they do is get their headphones on to start listening to a little bit of their music before we have our coaches come in from upstairs in the press box, and offense goes to one side, defense goes to one side, and the coaches give us our adjustments....

It covers all bases, with remarkably good battery life a highlight that alternatives just don’t get close to. There’s one potentially fatal flaw: most versions of the Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming have a poor quality screen.

In an internal memo obtained by Newsweek, Delta CEO Ed Bastian told all employees Thursday morning that customers who choose not to comply with the airline’s mask mandate “risk losing their future flight privileges with Delta.” The airline has already had a few situations in which a passenger refused to follow safety requirements, Bastian wrote. “We have already banned some passengers from future travel on Delta for refusing to wear masks on board,” the memo stated....
