SMU-FSU starts with limited power after delay and more — today's tour signal.
It's a big day in the sports world, with action heating up on the tennis court and the football field, while also taking a moment to reflect on the legacy of a legendary player. The US Open is in full swing, with Coco Gauff making a strong push to reclaim her title from 2023, advancing to her first quarterfinals since then, and Elena Rybakina overpowering Naomi Osaka to move closer to the number one spot. Meanwhile, Team USA is showing its strength in international competition, cruising past Czechia after a close call on Sunday.
But it's not all about current competition - we're also taking a moment to remember a football great, as former Bears fullback Matt Suhey has passed away at the age of 68. Suhey was a key member of the Bears' Super Bowl championship team and will be remembered for his contributions to the sport. And for those looking ahead to the upcoming football season, our Fantasy Football Draft Guide is now available, complete with mock drafts and more to help you prepare for your fantasy league. And in other news, the SMU-FSU game got off to a rocky start with a delay and limited power, but the action is now underway.
