In a battle between two young superstars, it was Coco Gauff who bested Naomi Osaka on Thursday night to reach the quarterfinals of the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic.
The 18-year old pulled off a 6-4 6-4 victory, as she went toe-to-toe with the former World No.1 in a highly anticipated encounter. Gauff looked poised and confident in the opening set, whereas Osaka showed shades of rust. The Japanese superstar was lacking competitive match play, after losing in the first round of this year’s Roland Garros and skipping the entire grass-court season, including Wimbledon.
Regardless, it was Gauff who maintained a good rhythm as she hit five aces and won 13 of 14 points behind her powerful first serve. The Roland Garros runner-up did not face a break point in the opening set, and required only one break of serve to clinch the first set.
With momentum on her side, Gauff quickly obtained another break as she raced to a 3-1 lead in the second set. The World No.11 extended her lead to 5-1, and soon had three match points at 40-0. It was here that Osaka’s championship pedigree kicked in, as the four-time Grand Slam champion fought back to erase four match points and keep her hopes for her alive.
To the shock of the crowd, Osaka broke back, saving seven match points in total as she reduced toe deficit to 4-5. However, Gauff would not be denied, finally sealing the victory on her eighth time of asking, putting the one and a half hour contest to an end.
The sixth seed now faces another dangerous threat in Spaniard Paula Badosa, who battled past American qualifier Elizabeth Mandlik to reach the quarterfinals.
Indiana lawmakers approved a near-total ban on abortion Friday, making the state the first in the nation to pass sweeping limits on access to the procedure since the US Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade.
The Republican-dominated state Senate passed the legislation in a 28-19 vote that had divided GOP legislators over how far the ban should go. Before Gov. Eric Holcomb (R) signed the bill into law on Friday, some GOP members had expressed support for allowing abortion in cases of rape and incest, while others opposed the bill because of those exceptions.
The measure, which will go into effect Sept. 15, allows abortion only in cases of rape, incest, lethal fetal abnormality or when the procedure is necessary to prevent severe health risks or death. Here’s what some state officials said on the ban:
“The body inside the mom’s body is not her body. Let me repeat that: The body inside of the mom’s body is not her body of her. Not her body of her, not her choice of her, ”said Jacob, tostaunch abortion opponent who supported removing exceptions including for rape.
“Trying to end all abortion is not forced birth, but rather it is trying to end murdering children,” he said on the floor.
“Sir, I am not a murderer. And my sisters are not murderers, either,” she said.
Pack told the chamber she had an abortion in 1990 while serving in the army, according to the Indianapolis Star. “We are pro-choice. That is what we are,” she added. “We believe we have command over our own bodies.”
“I think we’ve landed in a great place and good policy for the state of Indiana,” said McNamara, whosponsored the House bill. She told reporters the ban “makes Indiana one of the most pro-life states in the nation.”
Indiana passes near-total abortion ban, the first state to do so post-Roe
Bohacek, who voted against the bill, could not finish his testimony as he spoke about his daughter, who has Down syndrome, and his concerns about protecting rape victims with disabilities. “If she loses her favorite stuffed animal, she she’s inconsolable,” he said. “Imagine making her carry a child to term,” he said before choking up and stepping away.
Pryor referenced the recent case of a 10-year-old rape victim who had to travel to Indiana for the procedure because abortions are now banned in Ohio after six weeks. “I just don’t understand why we would force a baby, really at 10, to have a baby,” Pryor said.
“By closing abortion clinics and limiting abortions to only the most heartbreaking instances, we are making massive strides for the pro-life movement,” said Leising, who called Friday “a monumental day,” according to WRTV in Indianapolis. She said the ban should be “combined with funding increases directed toward pregnancy services and easing the financial burden of adoption.”
“Eight of us in this chamber have ever had the possibility of becoming pregnant, yet we are about to tell millions of Hoosier women what they can do with their bodies,” she said.
Breaux described the legislation as an infringement on democracy, “Women should have the right to make these decisions in consultation with their doctors, not their state legislators,” she wrote in a tweet.
Vermilion condemned fellow Republicans for describing women who obtain abortions as murderers. “I think that the Lord’s promise is for grace and kindness,” she said, according to the Associated Press. “He would not be jumping to condemn these women.”
“Following the overturning of Roe, I stated clearly that I would be willing to support legislation that made progress in protecting life,” he said in a statement. After days of hearings and testimony, he said the legislation “and its carefully negotiated exceptions” addressed “some of the unthinkable circumstances a woman or unborn child might face.”
“I am personally most proud of each Hoosier who came forward to courageously share their views in a debate that is unlikely to cease any time soon,” Holcomb added.

England responded though with two solid ends to reassert its dominance and kept going from there to take an 11-2 lead but Australia roared back in epic fashion to get it back to 11-10.

Krstic and Ryan though were on the brink of gold medal glory with two leading balls on the 18th end, only for Pharaoh to knock one out with a brilliant bowl on the final ball.
It meant the game finished a draw and would instead go into overtime to decide who would take home the gold.
England was in the commanding position with a few balls left but a pinpoint bowl from Ryan knocked the jack away and kept Australia in with a chance.
Once again it went down to the last ball, with Australia’s gold medal hopes resting on Ryan’s shoulders.

“You just sort of pretend everyone’s clapping for you, even if they’re clapping for the high jump or the hammer throwers walking in and anytime there’s self-doubt, it really gives you a boost.
“I feel like I’m continuing the legacy of really strong Australian race walking and to go back-to-back, winning on the Gold Coast four years ago really changed my life. I didn’t think that at the time but I think with hindsight it did, it set in that self-belief. I have big dreams for two more Olympic games. So today was a special moment.”
Fellow Australian Rebecca Henderson finished fourth and Katie Hayward placed seventh.
Aussie world champ toppled in upset

A federal judge ruled on Friday that holding statewide elections for a Georgia utility regulatory body discriminates against Black voters and delayed the elections scheduled for November to a later date.
Steven Grimberg, the US district judge for the Northern District of Georgia, said in the ruling that the statewide election for the state’s Public Service Commission, which oversees residents’ access to telecommunications, electric and natural gas services, unlawfully dilutes the votes of Black citizens .
Two seats on the five-member commission were scheduled to be up for election in November. Current state election law requires a candidate for a seat on the commission to live in one of the five districts they are running to represent, but voters from the entire state can vote for all five seats regardless of where they live.
Grimberg wrote that the election system for the commission violates the 1965 Voting Rights Act’s second section, which states that no qualification, standard, practice or procedure can be imposed by any state to deny citizens’ right to vote based on race or color.
The plaintiffs are Black voters in one of the districts where an election was set to take place in November. The ruling states that they testified that they have not been prevented from voting in Georgia because of their race, but that race plays a role in the election.
Experts testified that there is “strong evidence” of racial polarization in the elections and that Black and white voters are “cohesive” in the candidates they support. But because the number of white voters outnumbers the number of Black voters, the Black-preferred candidates do not win.
One expert said during the case that the candidate supported by white voters won 11 out of 11 times since the current state law went into effect, and another expert testified that only one Black candidate has ever been elected to the commission, despite Georgia’s large Black population. .
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that an attorney for the defendant, Brad Raffensperger, who oversees the election in his capacity as Georgia secretary of state, argued that Black voters have been able to fully participate in the political process. The attorney said Black-supported candidates not winning does not mean that the voting system is discriminatory.
The ruling states that the attorney for Raffensperger said during a preliminary hearing that the state would have the current incumbent commissioners running in the races “holdover” in their positions until a new election can be held.
Nicolas Martinez, the attorney for the plaintiffs, said in a statement that the court’s decision vindicates their argument that Georgia’s statewide election method for the commission unlawfully dilutes Black votes.
“This ruling immediately impacts how millions of Georgians will elect those powerful officials who determine how much everyday folks must pay for basic utilities,” he said. “It is one of the most important decisions to advance voting rights in a generation.”
Rosie O’Donnell hopped onto TikTok to jokingly dispute her daughter’s claims that her upbringing wasn’t “normal”.
In a video uploaded on Thursday, the comedian responded to a TikTok her daughter Vivienne made where she claimed her mother, “has done so much for me and I am so incredibly, incredibly thankful for her, but one thing she has not done is normal.”
Rosie’s reply had her followers in stitches.

“Vivi, what do you mean I didn’t do anything normal? I did normal things. I’m normal. I’m totally normal.”
She jokingly added, “Jeez, Vivi. I’m going to tell some secrets about you.”
This back-and-forth began when Vivienne responded to comments on her TikTok story-time series that praised her parents for keeping away from the vices of Hollywood as a child.
One comment in particular said Rosie seemed to have “kept things relatively normal” for the children.
“I love all these comments about how Rosie kept my life ‘normal’. No offense mum, that never happened,” said Vivienne. “She just didn’t really inform us, for really anything.”

“It’s like the same when she would introduce me to one of her friends she would be like, ‘come on Vivi, you know her you’ve known her since you were a baby’ and I’m like, ‘I’ve never met this person in my entire life’.”
In another video, Vivienne said a woman named ‘Mo’ would frequently visit their home and that she never knew who she was.
“Then I found out it was Madonna all these years,” she revealed.
Rosie is the adoptive mother of five children, a foster mother of many more, and has been a staunch advocate of adoptive rights for gay and lesbian parents.

“The James Fisher-Harris and Joe Tapine tackles are accidents and in this coalition game I understand that,” Stuart said.
“But where Salmon kicked Tommy (Starling), it ain’t on.
“I have had history with that kid (Salmon). I know that kid very well.

A jury in Minnesota ruled on Friday that a pharmacist did not commit discrimination when he did not fill an emergency contraception prescription for a woman after her prior contraceptive method failed, according to the gender advocacy group Gender Justice.
A jury in Aitkin County found that a pharmacist’s decision not to provide an emergency contraception prescription to plaintiff Andrea Anderson after citing his “beliefs” did not constitute discrimination.
According to court documents, Anderson went to the only pharmacy located in her town to retrieve a prescription of emergency contraception after another method failed, but the pharmacist there rejected her request.
The filing further claims that she would later have to drive more than 100 miles in total in order to get her morning after pill after having several pharmacies reject her request.
Anderson was awarded $25,000 over emotional harm caused by the initial pharmacist who rejected to fill the prescription.
“I can’t help but wonder about the other women who may be turned away,” Anderson said in a statement.
“What if they accept the pharmacist’s decision and don’t realize that this behavior is wrong? What if they have no other choice? Not everyone has the means or ability to drive hundreds of thousands to get a prescription filled.”
The legal director for Gender Justice, which is representing Anderson, said it plans to appeal the decision.
“To be clear, the law in Minnesota prohibits sex discrimination and that includes refusing to fill prescriptions for emergency contraception,” Gender Justice Legal Director Jess Braverman said in a statement. “The jury was not deciding what the law is, they were deciding the facts of what happened here in this particular case.”
The director of an obscure Serbian film has shared the moment she “discovered” award-winning actor Brad Pitt as a young adult looking for his silver-screen debut, and how she was almost turned off giving him his start.
Before the fame of blockbuster productions like Ocean’s Eleven and Mr & Mrs Smitha pimply but “electrifying” 21-year-old Pitt responded to a casting call from the agency of Lauren Lloyd, former executive vice-president of Hollywood Pictures and Trust Sony pictures.
Lloyd described her first meeting with the young wannabe who would become a megastar back in the ’80s to Aussie podcast What is Was Like.
“So this kid walks in and I think he had done maybe one or two episodes in a soap opera… and I was like, who’s this kid? But it was like God walking in” Lloyd told the podcast.
“So I said ‘sit down and talk to me’, and he had kinda bad skin… but he seemed very calm for being one so young and non-experienced.”
At 21 years old, Pitt had minimal acting experience and was looking to enter the film industry.
Lloyd’s talent agency had agreed to scout a male lead for a Yugoslavian-US co-production The Dark Side of the Sun.
And by the time young Pitt read the script to them, Lloyd and her work partner were “giggling with delight” at the actor they had found.
“We were like who is he? This guy is magnificent,” she said.
But despite Pitt having successfully charmed the two talent scouts, Lloyd revealed she almost didn’t cast him because of his lack of experience in film.
“I said ‘but he just does TV’ – because we were at that stage when the people in the movie business we looked down upon television… they were making the money but we were making the movies,” she said.
After her partner assured her “you’ve got a movie star!” the pair hired Pitt for his first ever movie gig working with Yugoslavian directors.
“And Brad was so excited, he was like a kid,” Lloyd added.
They call it the ‘X-Factor’
It’s the quality that distinguishes ordinary people from “stars” who become globally and critically acclaimed artists.
And that’s exactly what Lloyd saw in Pitt the day he walked in and read his first film script.
A large part of film success she conceded, was down to genes – being born with a face for camera.
“Well (Pitt) had shaggy hair and kind of bad skin but you’re still … captivated by it,” she said.
“He was almost too pretty, he had very delicate features – he’s grown into a much more manly man – but he was just quite a beautiful creature.”
But looks alone don’t drive the “X-Factor” she said, and when it came to Pitt, what made him “electrifying” was his “calm” and “holistic” presence.
“(He was) so united inside – and when I say that I mean for someone so young to be so comfortable in their body, to be intellectually there.” she said.
“So it’s a spiritual, intellectual, and physical blending… and there he was – magnificent looking.
“So when someone likes that walks into a room you see them – but you feel them. It’s almost like every cell in your body is electrified.”
Lloyd said Pitt had been “blessed” with an “incredible combination of genes” which gave him that “movie star quality” that talent agencies look for.
But pretty faces come and go, she acknowledged, and to make a long-lasting career in the Hollywood film industry, actors have to be persistent.
“When you go to Hollywood, you have to have that (self-belief) no matter what you do,” she said.
“(Because) if you don’t have that drive it’s so difficult… you’ll perish away… you have to be so driven that no matter how many times you get ‘no’, you’ll find a way.
“And he had that.”

MATCH CENTER: Cronulla Sharks vs St George Illawarra Dragons, live scores
45TH MINUTE
The Dragons have hit back, courtesy of a floated pass from young gun Junior Amone to find Tautau Moga.
The Sharks tryline defense had held the Red V out, prompting the five-eighth to look out wide and turn Sharks winger Ronaldo Mulitalo around.
26TH MINUTE
Sharks half Braydon Trindall sliced through the Dragons line to score, handing his side the lead.
Trindall was a late replacement for Matt Moylan, who was ruled out due to a quad injury.
According to Fox League’s Lara Pitt, the 31-year-old playmaker will be fit for Round 22.
But only moments later, Trindall again charged at the line, finding Teig Wilton with a short ball to cross with his first tough.
“Braydon Trindall again, at speed, runs to the line… just look at him, takes off,” Alexander said.
“Braydon Trindall has been the man in this first half.”
“The man who is really shining in the absence of Matt Moylan,” Ginnane said.
Only moments later, Blayke Brailey was sent to the bin for a professional foul.
12TH MINUTE
Dragons veteran Tariq Sims was sin binned for an ugly high shot which forced Sharks gun Connor Tracey to be stretched off the field.
Sims shoulder made direct contact with Tracey’s chin and as a result was given his marching orders.
Fox League’s Dan Ginnane was shocked Sims wasn’t sent off.
“That would be the minimum there and that is a best case result for the Dragons,” Dan Ginnane said.
3RD MINUTE
Sharks marquee star Nicho Hynes opened the scoring only three minutes into the contest, throwing a big dummy before ducking underneath the tackle of Tariq Sims.
The scores sit level at 6-6 in the cross-town derby — and the playmaking responsibility sits on Hynes’ shoulders in Moylan’s absence.
“There is plenty of responsibility on Nicho Hynes tonight,” Greg Alexander said.
“Throws the dummy, gets on the inside of Tariq Sims, and Sims can’t stop him.”
Moments later, Dragons forward Jack De Belin was able to collect a bouncing Ben Hunt kick to score his side’s first.
Sensationally, the star forward is only one try away from being the club’s leading try scorer.
PRE-MATCH WRAP
Craig Fitzgibbon will be without one key playmaker for the club’s local derby — Matt Moylan.
Braydon Trindall has been drafted in to replace the 31-year-old, pairing marquee player Nicho Hynes in the halves, while Lachlan Miller moves onto the bench.
Young gun Kade Dykes will also make his debut at the back after impressing for feeder club Newtown Jets, replacing Will Kennedy after a syndesmosis injury.

Meanwhile, Anthony Griffin has made changes of his own, with Billy Burns coming out of the side in place of veteran Josh McGuire.
Fitzgibbon’s Sharks will be desperate to come away with the points, currently sitting equal with the Eels after a win against Manly.
If Cronulla can beat their cross-town rivals they will sit in third, above the Melbourne Storm on 14 wins.
