Tiger spotted
Tiger Woods, who knows plenty about winning major championships, is attending the US Open semifinals. Woods is sitting in the third row of Rafael Nadal's guest box during the No 1 seed's match against Juan Martin del Potro. Still unable to return to golf while he recovers from back injuries, Woods was shown on the stadium's video boards during a first-set changeover and drew warm applause. He smiled and waved. Woods, like Nadal, is second in major titles won in his sport.
Hingis in 2 Finals
Martina Hingis will play in the Finals of both women's doubles and mixed doubles at the US Open. Hingis won two semifinals on Friday. First she teamed with Yung-Jan Chan to beat Shuai Peng and Sania Mirza 6-4, 6-4 in women's doubles. They'll play lucie Hradecka and Katerina Siniakova for that title. Then Hingis and Jamie Murray defeated women's singles semifinalist CoCo Vandeweghe and men's doubles champion Horia Tecau 6-4, 7-6 (8) in mixed doubles. Murray is the older brother of two-time Wimbledon singles champion Andy Murray. Hingis and Murray will face Michael Venus and Chan Hao-Ching in the mixed Final.
‘Not Fair'
Things got a little hairy in the women's doubles semifinals. And after it cost lucie Safarova the point, she called out her friend on social media for a lack of sportsmanship after her team lost. The moment came during Safarova and Barbora Strycova's 6-2, 7-5 loss to fellow Czechs lucie Hradecka and Katerina Siniakova. Siniakova hit a shot that appeared to graze Hradecka's hair before going back over the net. That should have given the point to Safarova and Strycova, but the chair umpire didn't see it and Hradecka didn't acknowledge it, so Siniakova and Hradecka got the point. Safarova posted video of the point on Instagram , writing: "Win or lose you should always play fair! Wouldn't expect that from a friend. Makes me really sad!..#sportsmanship#fairplay#sad," tweeted"
