Coco Gauff comes back to win at the US Open and set up a match against Caroline Wozniacki

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:15:55 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Things were not going well for Coco Gauff at the U.S. Open on Friday night.Her shots were off. She was struggling to hold serve. She dropped a set. All the while, Gauff was talking to her coaches, Brad Gilbert and Pere Riba. Talking to herself. Slapping her thigh or putting her palm to her face.And when the No. 6-seeded Gauff needed to lift her game, when she needed to get headed in the right direction before it was too late, she did just that. Did she ever. Asking for more noise from the partisan fans at Arthur Ashe stadium — and, naturally, getting it — Gauff grabbed the last 10 games for a 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 victory over No. 32 Elise Mertens to reach the fourth round at Flushing Meadows.“The energy today definitely helped me. I felt you guys,” said Gauff, a 19-year-old from Florida. “I played every point my hardest.”The 2022 French Open runner-up heard plenty of loud support from the crowd as she turned things around and won for the 14th time in her past 15 matches, al...

“One Piece” llega a Netflix con muchos fans. Si aún no eres uno de ellos, ni te molestes

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:15:55 GMT

(CNN) — “One Piece” está basada en una de las series de manga más populares de todos los tiempos, con un cuarto de siglo de historia a cuestas. Y si aún no te has familiarizado con ella, esta serie de acción real de Netflix sobre la extravagante aventura pirata parece un mal lugar para empezar, ofreciendo escasos incentivos para esforzarte en tratar de ponerte al día ahora.En cambio, la primera temporada de ocho episodios cae presa de los escollos asociados al intento de trasladar una forma de arte muy diferente a la vida real, un reto que Netflix ya experimentó con la efímera “Cowboy Bebop”. Las dificultades se manifiestan en el tono alocado de “One Piece”, que en algunos momentos parece una serie infantil, un sueño surrealista filtrado por la mente del director David Lynch y una película de “Piratas del Caribe” producida bajo el efecto de drogas alucinógenas.Taylor Swift logra con su película de “Eras Tour” romper e...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:15:55 GMT

A family from Ukraine recently received a generous gift in Swampscott in the form of new bikes after a school resource officer came across their story.When the family’s children started school, they had no means of transportation. So, they walked. The family’s eldest daughter, though, has leg problems that left her in pain by the time she got to school. The child’s school principal at Swampscott Middle School noticed the situation and sent out a message to staff to see if anyone had a used bike they could donate. Swampscott officer Brian Wilson saw the email and said he didn’t hesitate to help out this family. With funds from an account for his comfort dog, Wilson bought the family three new bikes and a scooter.“I just didn’t hesitate,” Wilson said. “Especially when new to the country, knowing the struggles they were probably going through, it just felt right.” “Sometimes you just know something’s right and that’s what this felt like and I just wanted to do ...

It’s just another arm on the mound.”Lo and behold, Domínguez homered off Verlander with the very first swing of his very first at-bat, taking the right-hander into the Crawford Boxes at Minute Maid Park.
