Tennis
- Moving on. The women's U.S. Open final is tomorrow and Americans Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens have punched their tickets. It’s the first Grand Slam final for both players and the first time since 2002 that we’ll have an All-American final. (FYI - a Grand Slam is one of the four major tournaments in tennis).
The men’s semifinals are this afternoon with the finals on Sunday. Follow us on Twitter for the up-to-the-minute action.
NFL (National Football League)

Don’t forget to set your fantasy football lineups. Here's the schedule for Sunday’s games.
Overtime
- Last night actress Reese Witherspoon showed she’s sports savvy, winning a very messy sports-themed game on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. That a girl!
Sideline stat
- ESPN College GameDay will head to Columbus, Ohio for the weekend’s big college football game between the Oklahoma Sooners (5) vs Ohio State Buckeyes (2). The Buckeyes will be wearing Nike’s LeBron James cleats (yes the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball player) for Saturday’s game. James may not have gone to college but he loves his state of Ohio.
Here’s this weekend’s football schedule.
Coaches’ corner
- This weekend Is the last race of the regular season for NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing). Fan favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr. has yet to quality for the playoffs. Earnhardt is retiring after this season and if he can make it to the next round, it might be just what NASCAR needs to make the playoff run memorable.
