LONDON (AFP) - Novak Djokovic moved closer to a place in the semi-finals of the ATP Finals as the world number one dispatched Alexander Zverev 6-4, 6-1 on Wednesday (Nov 14). Djokovic is chasing a sixth ATP Finals title and his first in the prestigious season-ending event at London's O2 Arena since 2015. In his 11th appearance at the Finals, the Serb will be guaranteed to reach the last four for the eighth time if John Isner beats Marin Cilic or if Cilic defeats Isner in three sets later on Wednesday. Djokovic, who beat Isner in his opening group-stage match, has enjoyed a remarkable renaissance in the second half of 2018 and lifting the trophy on the banks of the River Thames would be the perfect way to finish his year. Djokovic faces Cilic in his last group match on Friday, while Zverev, who defeated Cilic to kick off his Finals campaign, takes on Isner. The 31-year-old was assailed by claims he had lost his hunger for success and was past his best after injury and personal issues … [Read more...] about Tennis: Djokovic eyes semis after dismissing Zverev at ATP Finals

By Khadeeja Safdar The Wall Street Journal Wed., Nov. 14, 2018 Jan Singer, CEO of Victoria’s Secret lingerie division, is departing the company amid declining sales, according to people familiar with the matter. Ms. Singer, who has been at the company for about two years, joined from Spanx, where she served as CEO for approximately two years. Prior to that, she spent more than a decade as an executive at Nike Inc.

By The Canadian Press Wed., Nov. 14, 2018 OTTAWA—The head of the U.S. space agency says he wants to see Canadian astronauts walking on the moon before long, as part of a first step toward exploration of the farther reaches of space. Jim Bridenstine, the administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, says he wants Canada’s decades-long space partnership with the U.S. to continue as it embarks on the creation of its new Lunar Gateway. The U.S. is seeking broad international support for the next-generation space station it is planning to send into orbit around the moon starting in 2021.
