Lil Wayne has returned to write a new theme song for Skip Bayless' show Undisputed. The sports news show took a two-month hiatus over the summer, during which Bayless' co-host Shannon Sharpe left the segment. The revamped show debuted on Monday with the new theme track "Good Morning", which replaces the previous theme song "No Mercy". The lyrics of the song seem to be a nod to Bayless' heated debate style. Lil Wayne joined the debate desk on the show and discussed the creation of the song with Skip. Bayless expressed his admiration for the lyrics and said that they capture the essence of Undisputed. Lil Wayne believes that he did justice to the theme song and wanted to impress Bayless. The rapper also discussed his thoughts on Aaron Rodgers' move to the Jets and called him a "spiteful" individual. Fans are enjoying the new theme song, and the show has started off with some interesting moments.
Senior tennis star, Fiona Crawley, from the University of North Carolina (UNC), is making headlines at the US Open as she competes in both singles and doubles as an amateur. Crawley, who recently won the NCAA Women's Tennis Championship with partner Carson Tanguilig, earned the opportunity to compete in the qualifying event. Despite challenging weather conditions, Crawley emerged victorious in her matches and will now face Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the singles tournament. In doubles, she will team up with Tanguilig. This achievement adds to the already successful season for the Tar Heels and showcases Crawley's potential to make an impact at the US Open.
Crawley's journey at the US Open started with an upset victory against Hungarian professional Reka Luca Jani in the first qualifying round. The match, which lasted nearly three hours, made Crawley the first active collegian to win in this year's final Grand Slam event. She continued her impressive performance, battling through rain delays and a tough opponent, Timea Babos, in the second qualifying round. Despite being the former world number one in doubles and a formidable opponent, Babos couldn't match Crawley's skills and determination.
UNC coach Brian Kalbas praised Crawley's mental and physical toughness, highlighting her ability to play back-to-back third-set tiebreakers. Crawley's performance has captivated fans and showcased her fighting spirit. As she continues her journey at the US Open, tennis enthusiasts and Tar Heel alums eagerly await her next match.
Jannik Sinner is set to face Yannick Hanfmann in the round of 128 at the US Open on Tuesday. According to the odds, Sinner is the clear favorite to win the match. With a strong season record, Sinner is expected to create significant challenges for Hanfmann, who has struggled on hard courts in the past. Hanfmann has not achieved any victories during the US Open Series this summer. Given this, it is predicted that Sinner will have a comfortable victory over Hanfmann.
On the other hand, Carlos Alcaraz will face Dominik Koepfer in another night match at the US Open. Despite Alcaraz's remarkable talent, the odds suggest that Koepfer may put up a fight. Koepfer is expected to perform well in the first set, with a favorable spread of +2.5. This indicates that Koepfer has the potential to keep the first set competitive against the heavily favored Alcaraz.
As the US Open continues, all eyes will be on Sinner and Alcaraz to see if they can maintain their winning momentum and advance further in the tournament.
Las Vegas is facing the threat of flash flooding this weekend as fast-moving thunderstorms hit the region. On Friday, heavy rain caused flash flooding along parts of the Las Vegas Strip, with at least one driver needing to be rescued from a car. The National Weather Service reported that Boulder City, about 26 miles southeast of Las Vegas, received 1.14 inches of rain, while over an inch of rain fell near Interstate 15 at Charleston Boulevard. A flash flood warning is in effect for the area until Saturday night.
The thunderstorms are part of the region's monsoon season, which typically lasts from June to mid-September. The Weather Service has warned of the potential for dangerous lightning, gusty winds, and heavy rain throughout the weekend. Some areas could see 1 to 2 inches of rain, with the heaviest rainfall expected on Friday and Saturday.
The recent storms come just a week after another round of storms caused flooding on the Las Vegas Strip, damaging at least one resort. As clean-up efforts continue in areas already impacted by the storms, lightning could further delay the recovery process.
Overall, the city of Las Vegas is urging residents to exercise caution, avoiding flooded areas and flood channels. The National Weather Service plans to issue a flash flood warning for the region by Thursday evening to keep residents and visitors informed of the potential risks.
