FOOTBALL
The NFL season began Thursday night in an exciting game of inches. Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely found the endzone in the fourth quarter as time ran out to come within one point of tying the game. The Ravens planned on going for a two-point conversion for the win, but then the touchdown was reversed because Likely’s toe was out of bounds. The Kansas City Chiefs held on for a 27-20 win.
TENNIS
Andy Roddick, a former tennis player and now podcaster, was the last American male to win a Grand Slam singles title 12 years ago. In today’s second semifinal match, Taylor Fritz plays Frances Tiafoe, guaranteeing that an American will be in the finals competing for the title for the first time since 2006.
In women’s tennis, #6 seed Jessica Pegula advanced to her first Grand Slam final and will face #2 seed Aryna Sabalenka.
