What’s Happening on the Court and Field

In tennis, Carlos Alcaraz kept his streak alive by blasting past Arthur Fils at the Monte Carlo Masters quarterfinal.

Meanwhile, Chelsea grabbed a vital 1‑0 win over Manchester United courtesy of Marc Cucurella’s header – a result that could revive their Champions League hopes.

Basketball, Hockey and More Quarterfinal Thrills

The NBA playoffs are heating up. Donovan Mitchell dropped a massive 43 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Indiana Pacers in Game 3, shifting momentum back to Cleveland. In another league, Utah Jazz took a gamble on rookie Ace Bailey, drafting him despite pre‑draft drama – a move that could pay off big if he lives up to the hype.
