Michigan St. walk-on Izzo nets first career points

Russia took a 1-0 lead just minutes into the second half, putting immense pressure on the returning Mohammed Salah and Egypt to deliver.

Maria Sharapova hit back at Serena Williams’s accusations that the Russian’s autobiography was “100 percent hearsay”, insisting Wednesday that controversial references to her arch-rival are accurate. “When you’re writing an autobiography, I don’t think there is any reason to write anything that’s not true,” said Sharapova after being knocked out of Roland Garros by Garbine Muguruza 6-2, 6-1 in the quarter-finals. Sharapova and Williams were due to clash in the fourth round on Monday but the American pulled out at the last minute of their eagerly-awaited grudge match with injury.
