Wimbledon runner-up Nick Kyrgios needed 14 minutes to complete his rain-delayed Citi Open match against Reilly Opelka, efficiently closing out a 7-6 (1), 6-2 victory on Friday. Saving energy was key for Kyrgios and others playing in hot, humid conditions at the hard-court U.S. Open tuneup. Kyrgios, the 2019 champion in Washington, was scheduled to return to the court late Friday night for a quarterfinal match against Frances Tiafoe, who grew up just outside the nation’s capital in Maryland. Play was suspended again Friday afternoon because of lightning, which delayed the start of the evening matches. Top-seeded Andrey Rublev got through two matches, rallying in a second-set tiebreak to beat Maxime Cressy 6-4, 7-6 (8) in the afternoon and then dispatching American wild card J.J. Wolf 6-2, 6-3 in the evening to reach the semifinals. The Russian is seeking his fourth ATP title this year, which would draw him even with Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz for the most in 2022. … [Read more...] about Washington Open: Nick Kyrgios Beat Reilly Opelka, Andrey Rublev Advances to Semi Finals

Sports digest: Envoy optimistic about swap to release Brittney Griner
Bill Richardson, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and a frequent emissary in hostage negotiations, said he was hopeful about the chances of a two-for-two prisoner swap that could result in Russia’s release of WNBA center Brittney Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan.

But he said he felt “relatively positive” for several reasons. For one, the conclusion of the criminal case against Griner last week — she was convicted and sentenced to nine years in prison on drug charges — provides an opening for diplomatic negotiations to begin in earnest. Plus, Griner’s strategy of expressing contrition before a Russian court was important. “And that is … [Read more...] about Sports digest: Envoy optimistic about swap to release Brittney Griner
