Mourinho said the 29-year-old, who only managed four goals at Manchester United last season and is now on a one-year loan from French club Monaco, is so motivated to prove himself a success in the English Premier League (EPL) that he turned down bigger financial offers from other clubs to move to Chelsea. “It’s his motivation. When you are not a top player, you never feel frustrated. When you are not a top player, you have to live with this all through your career and you adapt to it,” Mourinho was quoted as saying by The Daily Mail....

The Spaniard defeated his Serbian rival in two sets, 6-4, 7-5, as part of a relaxed joke and humour-filled match watched by more than 12,000 spectators here Sunday, reports Xinhua. The two tennis stars were in the South American country to support Argentina’s David Nalbandian, who will retire from pro tennis. Nalbandian, once ranked No.3 and winner of the 2005 Shanghai Masters Cup, defeated Nadal in the first of the two matches Thursday, winning 6-4, 7-6 (6)....

Wimbledon’s primary announcement on Friday was about how they would be using their insurance cover money - received on cancellation of the 2020 event - to distribute nominal prize money to the players. But what would have been of greater interest to Rafael Nadal - and many other top players - was the update on the official Wimbledon website. The organizers specified that in the 2021 edition, the Championships will use the conventional seeding format followed by the other Slams - based solely on official rankings....

Spanish magazine ¡HOLA! was the first to report the news on Wednesday, followed by other publications like the daily El Mundo. Speculation began around the time of the Roland Garros final on June 4, with many linking Xisca’s loose clothing to a possible pregnancy. Nadal and Xisca dated for 14 years before they got married on October 19, 2019, in a private ceremony at La Fortaleza in Mallorca. Neither Nadal nor his wife has commented publicly on the news so far....

According to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Carr reached out to Nassib to let him know he loved him and had his back. “I often said I love my teammates. I mean it,” Carr said, per Rapoport. “We always say we are a family in that Raider locker room, and we mean that. I want to win a championship here with Carl and the rest of our teammates....

Oakland Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio has reason to wonder. Del Rio is still furious about the 2016 schedule given his team. The part that angers him the most: The Raiders must travel to Kansas City for a Week 13 Thursday night matchup four days after hosting Buffalo on Dec. 4. MORE: Must-see photos from 2016 NFL training camps “I don’t understand how anybody would make this kind of schedule and ask you to do this,” Del Rio said after Sunday’s practice....

It had appeared as though Lasse Vibe’s double had put Brentford on course for a routine three points at Loftus Road, but the Bees imploded at the death as the hosts earned a scarcely believable point. Sergi Canos’ long-range effort had tested Alex Smithies and Yoann Barbet put a free-kick just wide in a first half in which Brentford created the better chances. The breakthrough came in the 52nd minute with Vibe’s first goal since the last day of last season, the Danish striker controlling Nico Yennaris’ pass in the area, spinning on the spot and smashing home....

Though the statement posits that it’s unclear how the situation surrounding coronavirus will look in August, all of the worldwide closures and self-isolation now will make it impossible to complete the work and planning for such a large convention. The pandemic has led to school closures, corporate work from home policies, and more. RELATED: Master Chief Voice Actor Donating Cameo Earnings to Project C.U.R.E. However, the statement says the teams behind the convention hope to “come up with other ways to celebrate the spirit of QuakeCon” come August, especially given the escapism and fan bonding it would have facilitated....

The monarch has visited in person every year of her reign until now, and had to watch on television from Windsor Castle. Less than seven miles away, the event got underway in front of empty stands while thousands of racing fans dressed up in their finest to enjoy the day at home. Elizabeth wrote a message for the Ascot racecards which read: “I send my best wishes to the thousands of racing professionals and enthusiasts who will join me in celebrating this year’s Royal Ascot....

Prince Charles tested positive for the virus on February 10 and “did meet recently” with the Monarch, 95, a source told Newsweek later that day. A palace insider confirmed the queen was not displaying symptoms but would not say whether she had taken a test or what they outcome was, citing medical privacy. The move triggered confusion over whether Elizabeth had asymptomatic coronavirus or had, in fact, tested negative....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is no stranger to criticism from notable Hollywood directors who find the filmmaking genre more synonymous with theme parks than actual cinema. Martin Scorsese was one of the first directors to voice his unfavorable opinion about the superhero genre, which opened the door for more well-known figures to express their points of view. Moonfall director Roland Emmerich is one such individual who called the genre “formulaic” to criticize the its monotonous storytelling....

During Thursday’s final presidential debate, Joe Biden continued his blanket denials of any wrongdoing, supported by a Republican-led corruption investigation that concluded last month. According to the report from the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the Senate Committee on Finance, there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden in connection to his son’s business dealings while the elder Biden served as vice president. Less than a month after the committees released their joint report, the New York Post published its expose on October 14, reviving allegations of corruption against the former vice president....

So what exactly is the point of these earbuds, which is somewhat of a misnomer in this instance, given that they can’t play music or connect to another source for sound? Let’s take a look. What’s in the Box?

Officers responded to the gas station at about 7:40 p.m. after receiving a report of the stabbing, according to the statement....

It turned into quite a hilarious moment for both the streamer’s fanbase and for any Path of Exile player who caught the sneaky dig at Quin. Quin69’s height gets trolled by Path of Exile developers (Clip begins at 7:43:38) Upon reading the viewer’s message, the confused New Zealand native initially stated: A few viewers pointed out to Quin69 that Grinding Gear Games, creators of Path of Exile, subtly trolled the action RPG streamer in a rather comical fashion....

Which is remarkable, considering the regulations designed to keep people like Sergeant Hester out of combat. A recent report by the RAND Institute suggests the official policy on women in war zones is not “clearly understandable.” That’s an understatement. In Iraq, where the front line is everywhere, female soldiers are flying planes, policing the streets, working as gunners and medics. They’re essential at checkpoints, since their male colleagues cannot comfortably search Iraqi women, and they’re good at intelligence-gathering, which is the linchpin of the battle against terrorists....

The group acknowledged it had been possible for people to gain unauthorized access to the Tapia robots in its Henn na Hotel chain and therefore the guests’ private rooms, reports The Register. The Henn na Hotel—translated as “Strange Hotel”—is located near the Tokyo Disney Resort and is famous for being staffed by robots. Guests can be checked in by a chatty dinosaur robot or an ultra-polite humanoid reception bot on arrival....

After a jobless recovery that’s lingered far too long, the great U.S. job machine finally seems to be moving into gear. Companies hired briskly in March and April, and economists predict the unemployment rate will continue its steady downward march. The most obvious beneficiaries of this growth are unemployed people, many of whom have endured long layoffs and desperately need a paycheck. But as hiring picks up, there are signs a different group is angling to cash in: beleaguered employees who’ve held onto their jobs but feel overworked and underpaid....
