Rafael Nadal Cool On Expectations After Winning Injury Return

Rafael Nadal said he had limited expectations at the Barcelona Open as he made a triumphant return from injury on Tuesday, beating Italy's Flavio Cobolli 6-2, 6-3. The 22-time Grand Slam champion had not played a competitive match since January but eased past the 62nd-ranked Cobolli in 85 minutes to reach the second round. The former world number one has seen his ranking slip to 644 after missing all of the 2023 season following the Australian Open. His comeback at the start of this year hit a stumbling block when he felt a hip injury flare up in Brisbane.

"I want to become like Sindhu didi, she is my inspiration. I watch all her matches. It was great to just be around her in Malaysia, she was very friendly," gushed Tanvi in a telephonic interview with PTI, recalling her experience of observing the double Olympic-medallist during the Badminton Asia Team Championships where she was part of the squad but did not play.

2024 NFL draft: Louis Riddick's favorite prospects, sleepers - ESPN

I've been watching a ton of tape on the 2024 NFL draft's top prospects to prepare for the three days of action, which begins just over one week from now. A few players really jumped out in film study, so I wanted to break down five potential first-rounders and five sleepers I really like this year.
