Just a fortnight after her breakthrough grand slam success at the French Open, Barty edged closer to another milestone with a 6-4 6-4 win against the world number 51. She will face German Julia Goerges in Sunday’s decider, the German also needing just two sets to see off Petra Martic of Croatia. In a bizarre twist, Barty and Goerges will play together less than 24 hours before the final, the pair set to meet Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Demi Schuurs in one of two women’s doubles semi-finals....

We’ll get to him in a moment, and why his case is different from Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens (maybe not how you’d expect). We’ll start here, though. Every single person who has submitted a Hall of Fame ballot over the past few years has dealt with the same dilemma: What do we do with the PED guys? I wrestled with that question, on an abstract basis for years and pointedly for months before I dropped my first Hall of Fame ballot in the mail on Dec....

Matt Rowan said his blood sugar was spiking at the time he made the remarks and he thought the microphone was off. He was acting as announcer for a Thursday quarter-final game between Norman High School and Midwest City in Sapulpa, Oklahoma and his comments were broadcast live on the NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) Network stream. The Norman students knelt as the national anthem began to play—a form of protesting racial injustice that has become popular across the U....

January’s “Flavor of the Month” is the Salted Almond Honeycomb. The new flavor starts with the sweet, floral taste of honey and is churned with the perfect balance of savory and salty goodness, the company told Newsweek. This recipe is completed with honeycomb pieces and a swirl of sweet almond marzipan to give it just the right amount of crunch and a distinctly nutty flavor. “Almond and honey is a flavor combination that goes together beautifully in baked goods, especially in cakes,” says Jeanne Bolger, director of research and development at Baskin-Robbins....

WWE’s official Instagram account posted a throwback clip from Batista’s final match in the company that took place at WrestleMania 35. The clip shows Triple H ripping Batista’s nose ring out during their No Holds Barred match at the mega event. The visual was certainly disturbing but garnered a loud pop from the WWE Universe on that night. The former World Heavyweight Champion shared his thoughts and stated that it was a terrible display of sportsmanship on Triple H’s part, in what’s most likely a kayfabe response....

Messi broke Batistuta’s record of 54 goals for Argentina at the Copa America Centenario last year, and has since moved seven clear. Argentina 8/1 to win World Cup The duo are well ahead of Sergio Aguero and Hernan Crespo, with the Manchester City star netting his 35th in Argentina’s 1-0 friendly win over Russia on Saturday. Batistuta said he was frustrated to have Messi break his mark, but he paid tribute to the Barcelona superstar....

As it turns out, Arkham City bests Arkham Asylum in virtually every way possible. The game features an incredibly detailed open world populated by a veritable who’s who of Batman’s rogues gallery while also bringing back the melee combat and predator gameplay systems that made the original such a smashing success. In fact, our own Andrew Dyce showered high praise upon the title in Game Rant’s Batman: Arkham City review....

The partnership between Batman and Robin dates back to the earliest days of the Batman franchise, and though the title of Robin has been held by several different individuals in both the comics and the games, the relationship between them remains largely similar. Robin is Batman’s sidekick, learning from him and often providing tech support. As such, having him present can be crucial to an Arkham game making the player feel like Batman....

Some may be quick to write off Batman: Arkham VR as little more than a gimmick, but the fact that Rocksteady is at the helm should set some minds at ease. After all, Rocksteady is the studio behind some of the most critically-acclaimed Batman games of all time, and there’s little reason to think that it won’t give Batman: Arkham VR its best effort as well. Rocksteady may be more likely than many other studios to give PlayStation VR its first high quality exclusive with Batman: Arkham VR, but it’s hard to say definitively at this point, as we know very little about the game....

Sadly, though, that action isn’t always available as Battlefield 1’s servers have been experiencing some trouble. Since the game launched on October 21, several server outages have occurred, affecting multiple EA games (including FIFA 17). Though the server problems at launch were likely a result of the huge DDoS attack that affected most of the web in October, the problems have continued over the past few days and some disgruntled Battlefield 1 players have now demanded that they be given a refund....

Battlefield 2042 fans have done a lot of clever things with Portal thus far. While the purpose of the mode is to create custom playlists that mash certain parts of past Battlefield games together, gamers are already pushing the feature to its limits by crafting new game modes. While a training course for Battlefield 2042’s wingsuits is certainly awesome, one new creation could prove even more popular, as it brings Squid Game’s Redlight, Greenlight to the multiplayer-focused FPS....

In preparation for the release of Battlefield Hardline’s second expansion, dubbed Battlefield Hardline: Robbery, EA has released some details about the DLC on the Battlefield Hardline website. As the name implies, the expansion will focus on the game’s robbery activities by introducing Squad Heist, a new 5v5 game mode that pits one squad of crooks against one squad of cops to see if the robbers can make out with the cash, or be brought down by the police....

“Today’s social and political waters are especially choppy. Sensitivities are at 11, and every discussion remotely related to politics, advocacy, or society at large quickly spins away from pleasant. You shouldn’t have to wonder if staying out of it means you’re complicit, or wading into it means you’re a target. These are difficult enough waters to navigate in life, but significantly more so at work,” Basecamp CEO and co-founder Jason Fried wrote Monday in a company blog post....

Movement Controls for Minecraft on PC The basic controls for Minecraft are similar to most other PC games that use a qwerty keyboard:

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Marc J. Spears, these five men are in the Class of 2019: Al Attles, Vlade Divac, Bobby Jones, Sidney Moncrief and Paul Westphal. Attles, who coached the Golden State Warriors to their first NBA championship, was elected as a contributor; Divac received his honor from the Hall’s International Committee. Together, the five earned 16 All-Star berths and 10 All-NBA selections. DEVENEY: Steve Kerr still learning how to coach these Warriors...

[HTML1] After her initial outing on Xbox Live as the second downloadable character releasing through Injustice: Gods Among Us’ Season Pass, Batgirl was officially confirmed by Warner Bros. and developer NetherRealm Studios last week with the release of the first Batgirl screenshot and promise of forthcoming gameplay footage. They didn’t disappoint, and neither does the dashingly deadly Barbara Gordon. Releasing just days after Injustice’s first season pass character, Lobo, became available for download, the gameplay footage stages Batgirl in a one-on-one brawl against the Joker....

Unfortunately, underneath the large open world and deep story, some players have discovered that Batman: Arkham Knight has some unfortunate - and serious - problems. The PC version of the title was released with some major bugs, including framerate issues, random crashes, and audio glitches. After Rocksteady’s suggested fixes failed to work, the developer was forced to issue an apology, and has even suspended sales of the PC version of the game, offering refunds to those who had already purchased the title....

RELATED: The 10 Best Telltale Games (According To Metacritic) The 5th episode is dramatically different for each Joker path depending on the player’s choice. Here are some great things about both the Villain path and the Vigilante path. 10 Villain: The Joker Fans Know Gets More Personal When choosing whether Joker should be a “good guy” or a “bad guy,” the obvious choice would be to make him the villain since that’s what he usually is in movies, games, and comics....

Since then many batsmen came close to breaking Saeed Anwar’s record, like when Sachin scored 186* against New Zeland or when Sanath Jayasuriya went berserk against India in 1999 and scored 189 but got out in the 49th over. Charles Coventry from Zimbabwe equaled Anwar’s score in 2009 against Bangladesh yet the 200 score was yet to be breached. The barrier of 200 was broken when the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar scored 200* from 147 balls against South Africa in 2009....
