As well as she played at the start of her Australian Open quarterfinal, Serena Williams suddenly was struggling early in the second set. After one mistake against No. 2 seed Simona Halep — who won the last time they played each other — Williams pointed at her racket strings and made a sour face, as if to make clear it wasn't truly her own fault. After another, Williams looked up at her guest box with palms up and asked, “What is happening?” That dismay did not last long. Williams claimed the last five games and beat Halep 6-3, 6-3 on Tuesday to return to the final four at Melbourne Park for the first time since she won the tournament in 2017. Seeking a record-tying 24th Grand Slam title, Williams set up a showdown against No. 3 Naomi Osaka, who will carry a 19-match winning streak into Thursday's semifinals. “She's Serena,” Osaka said. “I feel really intimidated when I see her on the other side of the court.” This will be their fourth career matchup — all on hard courts — and ... » Learn More about Serena Williams tops Halep at Australian Open quarterfinal

NEW DELHI: Actor Aly Goni's most heartbreaking moment on Bigg Boss 14 was watching Jasmin Bhasin leave the house, once she was evicted from the show. "The one thing I wished would not have happened in the house was Jasmin`s eviction. I wanted to see us in the top two," said Aly, who is currently vacationing in Kashmir with rumoured girlfriend Jasmin.

Bernardo Silva scored once and set up another as Manchester City eased to a 2-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach in their Champions League last-16 first leg on Wednesday, extending its winning run to 19 games in all competitions. City, which is unbeaten in its last 26 matches, has a huge advantage for the March 16 return leg in Manchester after Silva headed in a pinpoint Joao Cancelo cross in the 29th minute to put it in front.

London: Former England captain Michael Vaughan has slammed the BCCI for producing pitches that are not deemed good enough for Test cricket and said the more India is allowed to "get away with whatever they wish", the more "toothless" the ICC will look. England on Thursday suffered an embarrassing 10-wicket defeat in the third Test against India on a spin-friendly Motera track to go down 1-2 in the four-match series.
