Ronaldo is now 36 years old and has signed a two-year contract for his old club. A statement on the Manchester United Website says that “it is hoped the striker will be ready to assist the side and begin to have an immediate impact in his second spell at the club.”

His second debut is set to play against either Newcastle United in the Premier League, or to play in their opening Champions League game on Tuesday.

Ronaldo has already had a good start to the season as he became the highest-scoring international footballer ever to play after he scored two goals in Portugal’s win over the Republic of Ireland last Wednesday. It is hoped that he will bring his international form along with him when he starts playing for his new club.

Having retained his title, Ugas is now looking at unifying the welterweight titles, with his eyes now set firmly on IBF and WBC welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr.

“I’m very excited, but most of all, I want to thank Manny Pacquiao for giving me this moment in this ring today,” an ecstatic Ugas announced following his victory. Ugas’s record now stands at 27-4, with 12 KOs.

Ugas received little preparation time before the bout, having only received an invitation to the fight 11 days prior. Initially, Pacquiao was set to face Spence, however, this fight was cancelled after it was discovered that Spence had suffered a detached retina.

Currently ESPN’s number six ranked welterweight, Ugas won the bronze medal for boxing in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, representing his birth country of Cuba.

Following the fight, there has been building speculation surrounding Pacquiao’s potential retirement. When questioned on the matter, Pacquiao simply explained that he is unsure and that further relaxation and contemplation will be needed before coming to a final decision.

The match was a great show of force with newly acquired players giving stunning performances and giving the fans a glance of the upcoming season, which will definitely be an interesting one.  

Diego Costa kicked things off scoring the first goal in the first minute of the match. Then, Joao Felix, a new arrival at Atletico, scored the second goal in the 8^th minute of the match, which was also his first goal for the team. This was followed by Angel Correa’s goal in the 19^th minute and Costa’s second goal in the 28^th. In the 45^th minute Costa managed to score a penalty shot bringing him a hat–trick.  

The second half of the match was even more fierce, with Costa scoring a fourth goal in the 51^st followed by Nacho’s first goal for Real Madrid in the 59^th. Vitolo scored the seventh goal for Atletico in 70^th minute which was followed by Benzema’s goal in the 85^th and Carrera’s in the 89^th.

It was reported that the player is undergoing a medical in Atletico Madrid after which the contract will be finalized by the two involved sides. This four-year contract will come at a fee of around $24.8 million which is not pretty spectacular considering the previous acquirements of the Spanish Club. 

Since the transfer of Griezmann to Barcelona brought the club more than $130 million, it seems they got into really heavy spending considering the fact that this reinforcement comes after the acquirement of Jao Felix and Marcos Llorente which together had cost Atletico more than $184 million.  

Trippier has had a great career so far, starting it back in 2009 playing for Manchester City. After City, he played in Barnsley and Burnley before being signed by his current team in 2015.

In the 10^th minute of the first half, Lutaro Martinez managed to score a goal diverting the shot that Sergio Aguero had taken after captain Lionel Messi’s corner kick. After the goal, the game continued in a fierce fight for dominance and Argentina managed to defend their side several times, stopping Venezuela in their struggle to equalize the match. Franco Armani managed to stop Ronald Hernandez from scoring a goal and this was the strongest attempt on Argentina’s goal. 

The victory was sealed by the substitute Giovani Lo Celso in the 74^th minute. Celso managed to score the second goal of the match hitting the loose ball that was previously saved from by Venezuela’s goalkeeper.  

This was the first time that Argentina played at Maracana after they lost 1-0 to Germany back in the 2014 World Cup.

Speaking at an interview with Lakers reporter Mike Trudell, Laker scouting director Jesse Buss praised Wagner for possessing a skill set that fits Lebron’s style of play. Buss described the rookie as a good shooter with the ability to handle the ball and make passes perfectly. He also praised the new signing’s basketball IQ,

“He’s a high basketball IQ player with a great motor that really runs the floor well,” the scouting director said. “That’s something that we definitely value as an organization as a whole,” he added.

Wagner, a product of Michigan Wolverines and a German international, impressed Laker’s scouting directors at summer league. He was drafted to the shock of many NBA fans but the LA-based team doesn’t seem to regret the decision.

When asked if Wagner’s skillset would improve now that Lebron is a Laker, Buss said,

“Yea, because he’s our only guy that can play the five position that can stretch the floor the way he did in college….Of course, Lebron has had a tremendous amount of success having shooters around him in his career. It just gives us a lot of different options, with a lot of bigs who can do different things.”

Lakers allegedly scouted Wagner for months while at Michigan but it was the German’s performance at summer league that finally got him signed.

— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) April 16, 2018

Austin Davis joined the Seattle Seahawks in 2017 and won the spot as a backup for Russell Wilson over Trevone Boykin. He played in 3 games in the 2017 season, but didn’t attempt a single pass and finished rushing for one yard. Davis has an experience as a starter since he started eight games for the St. Louis Rams in 2014 season and played 10 games in total.

During that time he passed for 2,001 yards and had 12 touchdowns. During his time with the Rams, Davis collaborated with current Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.

Paul Dawson, who was the 99th overall pick in 2015 NFL draft, joined the Seattle Seahawks’ practice squad in 2017 and was promoted to the active 53-man roster for the final three games of the season.

Branden Jackson was also part of the team’s practice squad before getting a chance to play in 12 games of the 2017 season. During that time he recorded two tackles.
Tyler Ott joined the Seahawks following the injury of Nolan Frese in January 2017 and has been holding the long snapper position ever since.

Seattle Seahawks drafted Joey Hunt in the sixth round of 2016 NFL draft and has spent time on both the team’s practice squad and active roster. He played in 9 games for the Seahawks, earning one start.

Marjan Vajda, the person who made Djokovic who he is today, was spotted practicing with his protege yesterday and immediately the speculations about Vajda’s return emerged to the surface.

It is confirmed now, that their partnership has been restored once again.

”Vajda is very happy to find himself on the court once again. He missed all the action, and also he wants to help Novak. Two of them started practicing with the highest intensity possible, and the positive energy is immediately felt around them. Djokovic is thrilled to have his old mentor back.” Novak’s team issued a statement to the media.

Since the last year, this is the first time that the two had contact. The Slovakian coach was with Djokovic throughout his whole career until the previous season when Novak disbanded his coaching team.

According to most of the experts and Djokovic itself, Vajda is the most important figure in his development.

Lately, the Serb has been struggling with his performances. Since the time when he won all four Grand Slams in a row, Djokovic’s game dropped significantly, and above all, he had troubles with injuries.

Several days ago he let go Radek Stepanek and Andre Aggasi who were his coaches at the time. Except for winning Eastbourne, there were no major results during their cooperation.

Is this a sign that one of the best in history might be coming back?

US Open champion and one of the leading US players shocked everyone today, once she announced that she would be forced to withdraw from Volvo Car Open.

According to her statement, she does not have enough energy to compete at the highest level. “My run to the title in Miami left me completely exhausted/fatigued both physically and mentally. I don’t feel prepared to play my best and therefore it’s in my best interest to get some rest.”

Stephens then expressed her hope that she will be able to play in Charleston in future and wished a lot of luck to all other participants.

“Charleston is truly one of the best events on tour,” Stephens said in a statement. “I sincerely look forward to playing [there] again many more times. I wish the best of luck to all the girls.”

This is her second consecutive skipping because she also didn’t participate in the previous campaign because of an injury. The title she won in 2016, couldn’t be defended, and Russian player Daria Kasatkina emerged as the new champion here.

Just to remind you, Sloane Stephens moved up in the WTA Rankings this Monday. After receiving 1000 points for the title in Miami Masters, the 25-year-old surpassed Petra Kvitova, Angelique Kerber, and Daria Kasatkina, and became world no.9.

For the first time in her career, the American found herself among top 10 players, and we are going to see whether she can stay here for a longer period of time. Number one is still Simona Halep from Romania, while Caroline Wozniacki from Denmark occupies the second position.

This is by far the biggest surprise of the Sofia Open. Everybody expected to see the three-time Grand Slam champion easily reaching the finals after today’s match. The odds at bookmakers gave 10 to 1 chances for Basic to win, and whoever invested his money on him, earned a lot of cash.

The opening set was won by the 26-year-old after a tie-brake, in which he used his third set-ball.

It seemed that Wawrinka is going to be back in the game when he took the serve from Bosnian player in the early stage of the second set. But eventually, he couldn’t hold on to that advantage and lost both of his last two service games.

Dreams about a title here were lost for him.

“For sure, I’m disappointed and sad with the result to lose the semifinal,” Wawrinka said. “I think he played a great match. He was playing good. He was trying to be aggressive on the court. When I arrive here, I’m not yet where I want to be, so I’m trying to get back my level.”

The winner was shining after the match.

“For today’s match I think I served very well both sets,” Basic said. “I think I played a very good match. I know he’s a big player—whatever he does it’s normal—so I’m very happy.

“I was just thinking to do my best. I was very focused, I was in the present and this helped me to make the match more clear.”

Basic will face Marius Copil, the Romanian who eliminated Jozef Kovalik in the second semifinal with 6-4 6-2.
