Having missed last year’s grass-court grand slam due to being pregnant with her first child, Williams has the opportunity to add to her 23 major crowns and draw level with record-holder Margaret Court. “To be perfectly honest, I haven’t thought about that this tournament,” she said after her semi-final win over Julia Goerges. “It’s just a number. I want to get as many as I can.” For that milestone to come at Wimbledon would be fitting, though, as triumph number eight would make the SW19 tournament her most successful of the slams....

The two LaLiga giants meet in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final in midweek, with the tie level at 1-1 after the first game at Camp Nou. Yet that contest will come just three days on from Madrid’s visit to Levante, while Barca have a four-day gap following their 4-2 victory at Sevilla on Saturday. Solari called the decision to give one club more rest than the other “curious” at his pre-match media conference, but Valverde says it is something every team has to deal with....

Likewise, Teresa Heinz Kerry isn’t a bit sorry she undermined the poetry of the speech she gave last night at the Democratic National Convention by earlier this week telling a Pittsburgh editorial-page editor to “shove it.’’ In fact, she used the same words Cheney had to justify his remark. She smilingly told CBS that she was right to be rude because the writer who had been questioning her “was trying to trap me with words I hadn’t said....

The Catalan side started poorly and rarely looked comfortable, even after taking a 3-0 lead, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen required to impress in the home goal late on at Camp Nou. Edin Dzeko cut Barca’s advantage, but Luis Suarez’s 87th-minute strike restored a three-goal margin to give them complete control of the tie.

The Reds are awaiting the results of a scan after their first-choice keeper injured his calf in Friday’s season-opening victory over Norwich City. Jurgen Klopp admitted the problem “does not look too good” and ruled the Brazil international out of the UEFA Super Cup against Chelsea in Istanbul on Wednesday.
