The current global health crisis has prompted many sporting events to not allow fans on-site, in a bid to restrict physical interaction among people. But Mallorca tournament director Toni Nadal, who recently took Next Gen star Felix Auger-Aliassime under his wing, is not a fan of tennis behind closed doors. While speaking about the issue, Toni recounted his first-hand experience of traveling to this year’s Monte Carlo Masters. The ATP Masters 1000 event, which was won by Stefanos Tsitsipas, had to be organized without fans because of the severity of the COVID-19 situation in and around France....

Defender Rafinha has made six starts in the Bundesliga since Kovac took charge, but only one of those has come in 2019. The Brazil international, however, is likely to feature in the second leg of Bayern’s last-16 Champions League tie with Liverpool. Joshua Kimmich, who has kept Rafinha out of the team for much of the season, will miss the March 13 return in Munich through suspension after picking up a caution in Tuesday’s 0-0 draw at Anfield....

This much was confirmed during a recent interview in which Willits discusses how Rage 2 improves upon its predecessor, with the team at id Software having heeded certain mistakes of the original. To be specific, when speaking of the first Rage, the studio director said, “The biggest lesson we learned was, don’t try to make an open world game with a technology that isn’t open world. The loads — you had the first-person combat areas, and then you had the driving areas, and then you had the racing areas....

Former Indian player Rahul Dravid told Cricinfo that Dhoni needs to change his approach and be more attack minded rather than being defensive if he wants to stay on as captain and win matches abroad, “I think he’s got to realise this very quickly, that if he wants to win Test matches abroad, he’s got to risk it all. “He’s got to take that chance that he’s going to have to lose some Test matches....

According to the report, Crowell will undergo surgery next week. NFL Media reported Wednesday that the Raiders will bring back running back Doug Martin, who rushed for 723 yards with Oakland last season. The 26-year-old Crowell had been listed as the backup on the Raiders depth chart behind rookie Josh Jacobs, the former Alabama running back selected 24th overall in last week’s NFL Draft. Crowell, who signed a one-year deal with the Raiders this offseason, racked up 4,725 yards from scrimmage and 28 TDs in his first five NFL seasons, beginning with the Browns and then last season with the Jets....

It is usually so cold at the Greenland summit station, which sits in a central location of the island, that any precipitation has always come in the form of snow, making the territory’s first rainfall a red flag in the course of global warming. While the 2020-2021 polar year, which begins in October and ends in September, was only the seventh warmest on record, October through December in 2020 marked the warmest autumn on record....

Kane Williamson’s team had put themselves in a good position after two dominant days at Seddon Park, but rained ruined their chances of winning the third Test. Heavy overnight rain continued into Wednesday morning and while it briefly stopped to give the Black Caps hope, it resumed before play was called off early in the afternoon. South Africa were sitting at 80-5 in their second innings, still trailing by 95 runs but with Faf Du Plessis and Quinton De Kock at the crease....

La llegada de la cuarta generación de telefonía móvil supuso un incremento significativo de la velocidad, pero solo cuando se tiene cobertura. Eso significa que incluso en ciudades teóricamente con buen 4G, hay quien tiene problemas con una baja señal o velocidad. Esto teóricamente tendría que solucionarse con el 5G, que también le permitirá a las operadores gestionar más eficazmente los millones de nuevos dispositivos que entrarán en funcionamiento en los próximos años....

Specifically, the official QuakeCon Twitter has announced that the event would remain exclusively digital for the time being, albeit with a hopeful note for the subsequent years. While the decision is fairly sound, according to information posted in the announcement, it’s clear that Bethesda’s Starfield might not be getting the sort of pre-release hype it otherwise may have commanded.

Penske teammates Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano swept the front row spots in qualifying Friday for the Quaker State 400 on Saturday night.

The officers claimed the violence was necessary “for everyone’s safety.” In 2007, there were no body cameras to capture the beating. It was her word against theirs. The details are horrifying, and the only reason why we even know them is because Maya is a white woman. Had she been an African American, like me, things likely would have been even worse. At the time, I was a young prosecutor at the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office in Texas....

The Quandrantids arrived in late December and will continue until mid-January. The celestial extravaganza is expected to peak beginning on the night of January 3, at around 3.20 a.m. EST on January 4 (8.20 a.m. UT), according to the International Meteor Organization (IMO). At its peak, stargazers can expect to see an average of 80 meteors per hour—and as many as 200, if viewing conditions are perfect. This week, astronomers are in luck....

In recent years alone, there’s been a film reboot of Star Trek that was cleverly set in its own universe but still recasting Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the crew, thus making it a reboot but also a sequel of sorts. The same, to a lesser extent, was done once again by JJ Abrams (who helmed those initial modern Star Trek films) with Star Wars. Despite the presence of legacy characters like Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Luke Skywalker in large roles, the similarities between The Force Awakens and A New Hope are purposeful in that the creative team clearly intended to ‘remake’ the original film while also making a sequel at the same time....

Quaresma is doubtful with a muscle problem in his right leg and trained separately from the rest of the squad at the Stade Geoffrey Guichard on Monday. Asked about the player’s availability, Santos told a news conference: “There are still 24 hours to go and even 12 hours can make a difference. I will decide tomorrow whether he will play or not.” Quaresma, 32, scored twice and set up two more goals in the 7-0 demolition of Estonia last week, Portugal’s final warm-up game....

Andrew Steele and his colleagues at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., initially focused on how ancient Martian water might have played a role in morphing minerals into meteorites. For years, scientists have debated whether meteor ALH84001, a 4-pound rock that landed in Antarctica in 1984, contained proof of ancient life on the red planet. Steele’s team used advanced technology—including sample and analysis techniques such as “imaging, isotopic analysis and spectroscopy to reveal the origin of organic molecules in the Allan Hills 84001 meteorite”—to make the discovery possible, according to a release from the Carnegie Institution for Science....

In Week 3, the league looks set to be without Drew Brees (thumb), Ben Roethlisberger (elbow), Cam Newton (foot) and Eli Manning (benched). Here are their current prognoses: The New Orelans Saints’ Brees will have surgery on a torn ligament on his right (throwing) thumb and is potentially out for six weeks. Roethlisberger is out for the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers and is set for surgery on his right (throwing) elbow....

Williams was to be tried as an adult in accordance with a California law that voters approved last year. His lawyers have decided to challenge. During the past decade, at least 40 states have decided to get tougher on juveniles, changing the rules so that they can be more easily tried as adults. Yes, some of these crimes are horrific. But will trying kids as adults solve the problem? NEWSWEEK’s Laura Fording asked Professor Jack Levin, Director of the Brudnick Center on Violence at Northeastern University in Boston what he thinks....
