Last year’s losing finalist Frances Tiafoe progressed in the last match of the day, the eighth seed needing to come through a final-set tie-break to eventually beat Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka 2-6 6-3 7-6 (7-5)....

Goffin, who had lost the opening set 6-3, was a game up in the second when he attempted a backhand volley at the net. Unfortunately for the Belgian, the ball deflected off the frame of his racquet and straight into his face, leading to immediate discomfort.

Candidates face a strict $100 spending limit. When one student obtained free campaign buttons from a student group, opponents tried to impeach him. Last spring 500 extra ballots appeared in the voting box. In ‘98 fraternities offered cash incentives to raise voter turnout.

Klopp hints Liverpool win will annoy Chelsea The Gunners beat Palace 2-0 at Emirates Stadium on New Year’s Day to go third in the Premier League, but the occasion belonged to Giroud’s wondrous, improvised goal.

Their fortunes this season have been in stark contrast, though, with the club teetering above the relegation zone in the Bundesliga and knocked out of the group stages of Europe’s elite club competition....
