Video newly posted to Instagram appeared to come from Elizabeth’s June 2017 visit to Mayflower Primary School, in Tower Hamlets, East London, alongside Prince Philip. The occasion had a poignant backdrop as it was timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the bombing of the school during World War I, when it was known as Upper North Street School. However, it contained a number of awkward moments, including when the queen found herself watching a school girl pull herself along with her hands while lying flat on a scooter....

After Williamson helped dismantle and demoralize Kentucky’s army of five-star talent with 28 points — missing only two shots and executing a dazzling bounce pass that seemed to cover nearly the length of the court — it was safe to say none of those scouts had ever seen anything quite like Zion. This was something entirely different from watching Charles Barkley, or Larry Johnson, or — do we really need to say this?...

Nadal had easily beaten Thiem 6-4 6-1 in Barcelona but got an early scare when he was broken in Sunday’s third game, soon falling 3-1 behind as the Austrian held....
