Nishikori, Osaka first Japanese man and woman to reach semi-finals…

Giving the duo something to aspire to, Best Female Leads nominations have been hit by actresses Salma Hayek (Beatriz at Dinner), Margot RobbieI (Tonya) and Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird).

Nadal, whose resume includes 17 Grand Slams, sits 20th on $41.4 million while Nishikori checks in as tennis’s third highest earner with $36.4 million, matching Welsh soccer player Gareth Bale in the rankings.

But after seeing off Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 to become the first Japanese woman in the US Open quarter-finals since Shinobu Asagoe in 2004, Osaka hoped that her social life might now pick up.

There had been little to choose between the two teams in the heat at the Commonwealth Stadium, although Japan carved out the better chances with Shinobu Figure Ohno going close twice in the first half.

The unidentified restaurateur says Kenichi Shinoda, chief of the feared Yamaguchi-gumi gang, owes her a refund for the money she paid out to gang members affiliated to his group.

coach Jill Ellis has eased the team away from extensive use of the long ball with a more fluid style evident, particularly since the decision to place record goal scorer, and classic target striker, Abby Wambach on the bench.

Twice Asian player of the year, she scored in the final four years ago and also drew attention for choosing to immediately commiserate with the defeated Americans rather than celebrate her team’s glory.

Limiting her effectiveness to dictate the tempo of the game will be key for the Unites States.

Previous research has shown that Americans were more likely to assume that someone does a good deed out of the kindness of their heart, while Asians ascribe motives that are unrelated to personality traits, such as a desire to please someone higher in the pecking order.

Vlasov got the Russians off to a roaring start on Sunday, winning gold for the second Olympics in a row by taking first at 75 kilograms in the Greco-Roman event.

That’s what we needed to do and we did it. «There was a lot more scoring for Greco-Roman and a lot more excitement. «The end result is what you saw this morning,» said Lalovic, who is Serbian. I’m confident that wrestling will long remain a member of the Olympic family.»
