58 h. ago US Open: Taylor Townsend in tears as Krejcikova saves eight match points to survive

American misses first grand slam singles quarter-finalTownsend had become huge crowd favorite in QueensTaylor Townsend couldn’t covert eight match points in a second set that ended with a 25-minute tiebreaker as she was eliminated from the US Open on Sunday with a 1-6, 7-6, 6-3 loss to Barbora Krejcikova.With the fans firmly behind a player who became a fan favorite during the tournament after her confrontation with Jelena Ostapenko, Townsend was repeatedly a point away from what would have been her first grand slam singles quarter-final. But Krejcikova, a two-time grand slam singles champion, erased a slew of match points in a tiebreaker she once trailed 6-3 before winning 15-13, broke Townsend’s serve twice in the third set and advanced to face another American, No 4 seed Jessica Pegula, on Tuesday.

3 d. ago João Pedro and Fernández fire Chelsea to win against Fulham after VAR drama

Perhaps the biggest insult for Fulham was that the first half was still going on when Chelsea finally broke through. They were into the ninth minute of added time when Enzo Fernández delivered a corner, João Pedro leapt to score and Marco Silva was forced to accept that the footballing Gods were not on his side, but this is where the game is these days. It is pedantic, stop-start and too vulnerable to being warped by technology’s blurred lines.It is tiresome to have to talk about refereeing decisions – far better to focus on João Pedro’s blistering form since swapping Brighton for Chelsea, for instance – but sometimes there is no other choice. This is the era of VAR and fortune did not favour Fulham as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge. They dominated much of the opening period and had done enough to lead this west London derby, only for the red mist to descend when Josh King’s first goal for his boyhood club was followed by one of those long, tortured looks at the pitchs...

4 d. ago After the Hunt review – Julia Roberts faces a dilemma in Guadagnino’s muddled campus accusation drama

Venice film festivalLuca Guadagnino’s latest – also starring Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield – is clenched in its own sense of relevance, as a desire to find complexity in a scandal at Yale becomes a noncommittal jumble of ideasLuca Guadagnino misfires with this bafflingly overlong, overwrought #MeToo campus accusation drama from screenwriter Nora Garrett, broadly in the tradition of David Mamet’s Oleanna or Neil LaBute’s The Shape of Things. It is worryingly muddled and contrived, perhaps in need of further script drafts to excavate a clearer and more satisfying drama inside.Julia Roberts and Ayo Edebiri star, with Andrew Garfield and Michael Stuhlbarg in supporting roles; they are all doing their considerable best, each frankly hampered by the unfocused and uncertain characterisation in the material itself, which, by the time it finally reaches its coda-finale of confrontation, is almost bizarrely inert, anticlimactic and incoherent. The movie is clenched with its own sense of con...
