Ill play hopefully two more here.Swiatek will next face either Elena Rybakina or Elina Svitolina, who are both also former Rome champions.In the mens quarterfinals, two impressive sets from Casper Ruud saw the Norwegian overcome 13th-ranked Karen Khachanov 6-1, 1-6, 6-2.The match was suspended for more than two hours at the start of the second set because of rain and Khachanov seemed to have dealt better with the enforced break.However, the 23rd-ranked Ruud broke Khachanov's serve twice at the start of the third set and then again to take the match on the second of three match points.Ruud will face either 19-year-old Rafael Jodar of Spain or Italian player Luciano Darderi in the semifinals.___AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis

The Texans have finalized a four-year, $5.482 million rookie contract with fourth-round linebacker Wade Woodaz, per a league source.The deal includes a signing bonus of $1.102 million.The Texans drafted Woodaz in the fourth round after trading back six spots with the Los Angeles Chargers.Woodaz is a big, fast linebacker as a converted safety at 6-foot-3, 236 pounds with 4.52 speed in the 40-yard dashFast, physical and violent, Woodaz said when asked to describe his style of play.The Texans had been on Woodaz for a long time, including a formal meeting at the NFL scouting combine and follow-up work on the Clemson campus. There was also a virtual interview with Texans linebackers coach Bill Davis.I always just heard a lot of chatter about people talking to the Texans about me, Woodaz said. I knew that they wanted to find out more about me. Early on, I was in pretty good contact with them. I think it really clicked. The combine interview was great, super smooth. They were just getting to know me, picking my brain, learning my personality. The Texans have for sure been heavily interested throughout the whole process.Woodaz drew heavy praise from Clemson coach Dabo Swinney for his versatility, intelligence and work ethic.Having played deep in the secondary provided a different defensive perspective for Woodaz: the bigger picture.It definitely helps you see the back end stucture and coverages from the whole picture point of view, which is very critical to the backers, Woodaz said. If you know your job and you know what the guys around you have, I think you can play faster."The 6-foot-3, 236-pounder recorded 217 career tackles, 28 1/2 for losses, nine sacks, three interceptions, one touchdown, four forced fumbles and a blocked punt.Hes a baller, Swinney said. Hes a fun guy to coach and a fun guy to watch play because he plays the way you want everybody to play.Woodaz gained roughly 40 pounds since enrolling as a freshman at Clemson.My favorite thing that I ate probably, I would eat a pizza pretty much every night, Woodaz said. I slammed those Gatorade protein shakes. Theyre like 400 calories, 12 of those a day.Aaron Wilson is a Texans and NFL reporter for KPRC 2 and click2houston.com

The BBC's announcement that Paddy McGuinness will be hosting the revived snooker game show Big Break has been met with fury by several fans of the original show.The broadcaster confirmed on Tuesday that the game show, which originally ran as a Saturday night favourite on BBC One from 1991 to 2002, would be making a comeback, with production starting "shortly."The original series featured Jim Davidson and John Virgo, with Mr McGuinness and Stephen Hendry confirmed to be fronting the revival.Shortly after the official announcement though, fans stormed X with complaints over Mr McGuinness' casting.The former Take Me Out host has in recent years been at the helm of some unsuccessful reboots, such as Top Gear and Question of Sport, both of which are now off-air."Are you f***ing kidding me? Paddy is awful. Stephen, yes, will be brilliant, but there are much more better presenters out there," one X user responded to the news.Another penned: "Paddy McGuinness is like a sleeper agent to destroy previously good shows like Top Gear & Question of Sport. Big Break will be another collector's item on his CV.""I like Paddy McGuinness but he is becoming a Grim Reaper for shows like Top Gear & Question of Sport. Pray for Big Break," another agreed.Another social media user shared their initial hope, which soon faded to disappointment, writing: "'Big Break is Back! Paddy McGuinness....' Never has my interest died quicker...."Someone else suggested: "I would have thought someone like Lee Mack would have been a better choice. Yet maybe it was just Paddy who was available. Be interesting to see Mr Davidson view on it. No one will be ever be better than Virgo.""Paddy McGuinness? Nope that's an easy pass then," one more shared.Some did seem eager to tune into the new show, though, with a few defenders of Mr McGuinness willing to give the reboot a chance.LATEST DEVELOPMENTSVanessa Feltz makes rare health confession over medical procedure: 'Affected my whole personality'Bonnie Tyler in 'serious but stable' condition as health update confirmed following induced comaSienna Miller welcomes third child as actress shares she is 'madly in love'"Paddys a nice guy but would have been better with someone else who hasn't been on TV so much but is funny," one commented.Another fan wrote: "Great news but please use the original music."The broadcaster confirmed the series will air on BBC Two and iPlayer, with the show reimagined for audiences. It will also play alongside BBC Sports increasingly popular snooker coverage. Unlike fans of the original, Mr McGuinness seemed excited about his new gig as he stated: "I am absolutely delighted to be a part of Big Break. "It is one of those shows everyone knows and loves so to be hosting it alongside legend Stephen Hendry will be something special. Bring it on!"Former snooker professional Mr Hendry added: "Big Break was a unique mix of trick shots and great entertainment and I can't wait to be back at the table and bringing this incredible show to a whole new audience."And who knows, we might inspire the next generation of snooker players to get into the sport."The reimagined format will see three contestants team up with professional snooker players fresh from the competition circuit, battling through three rounds of trick shots before reaching a dramatic finale where cash prizes are up for grabs.While the show will maintain the spirit of the original, the BBC promises a fresh visual style and new camera angles that let viewers experience shots from different perspectives.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
