Reigning Wimbledon champion drops out of third-round French Open match citing sickness

Elena Rybakina, the No. 4 women’s player in the world, withdrew from the French Open Saturday due to what was described as an upper respiratory illness. 

She was scheduled to face Spain’s Sara Sorribes Tormo in the third round. 

“I just wanted to give 100%, and obviously I’m far from being 100%,” Rybakina said. “If I cannot breathe, there is no chance I can even run and try to compete.”

Rybakina is also the reigning Wimbledon champion after defeating Ons Jabeur in three sets in July to win the first Grand Slam of her career.

The match between Rybakina and Sorribes Tormo in Paris was scheduled to start shortly before noon local time.

Instead, Rybakina was sitting in front of a microphone around the time the match was supposed to begin to explain to reporters why she was dropping out.

BELARUSIAN TENNIS PLAYER SKIPS FRENCH OPEN PRESSER CITING ‘MENTAL HEALTH’ CONCERNS: ‘I DID NOT FEEL SAFE’

Rybakina did sound noticeably congested as she revealed she had difficulty sleeping over the previous two days partially due to a fever.

She also said she experienced issues with her breathing while she was warming up Saturday ahead of a match. She said a doctor told her there is a virus going around “here in Paris.”

Rybakina, who won each of her first two matches this week in straight sets, was considered among the top contenders for the championship at Roland Garros. She has won her past 10 matches, including a tuneup title on red clay at the Italian Open last month.

She plays a power game based in part on one of the best serves on the WTA Tour, which she leads in aces this season.

Rybakina is a 23-year-old born in Moscow and has represented Kazakhstan since 2018, when that country offered her funding to support her tennis career. 

The switch was a topic of conversation during Wimbledon because the All England Club barred athletes who represent Russia or Belarus from entering the tournament in 2022 due to the war in Ukraine.

Rybakina’s forfeit allows the 26-year-old Sorribes Tormo to advance to the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career.

West Virginia police officer shot and killed, suspect in custody after intense manhunt

A West Virginia State Police officer was killed while responding to a complaint of a shooting on Friday.

Sgt. Cory Maynard as well as two other officers initially responded to a complaint of a shooting at a home on Friday in Mingo County, West Virginia when Timothy Kennedy, 29, allegedly began firing his weapon. Maynard was shot and taken to a local hospital, where he later died.

Kennedy is being charged with first-degree murder.

He fled the scene after the alleged incident, triggering what turned into an hours-long manhunt which ended up postponing a graduation ceremony on Friday night, with residents in the area being told to stay inside.

Kennedy was taken into custody on Friday night in a stolen vehicle which was stopped at a law enforcement checkpoint.

He’s being held without bond.

Maynard was previously awarded in 2015 by the state police after administering first aid to a man who was involved in a pursuit and crashed into his vehicle, then stabbing himself in the neck.

Benjamin Adam Baldwin, 39, was also injured during the shooting. He was taken to a local hospital and was in serious but stable condition.

A motive for the shooting is under investigation.

In a statement posted to Twitter, Republican Governor Jim Justice said that he’s “absolutely heartbroken.”

“The brave men and women of law enforcement, and all first responders who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe, are an inspiration to us all,” Justice said. “I again ask all West Virginians to join Cathy and I in embracing Trooper Maynard’s family, loved ones, and all of our courageous West Virginians in uniform during this incredibly difficult time.”

Woman ‘shocked’ to learn of mother’s hunting past when she sees photo of mom holding a rifle

A woman in her late 20s has learned a truth about her mother from years ago that she finds disturbing — and shared that she is “genuinely shocked” about her mother’s hunting past.

She even chose to challenge her mother about it today.

Sharing the story on social media, the woman, who said she is 27, wrote on Reddit that her mother “used to be a film and TV actress mainly in the 1970s and 1980s.”

MAN ON REDDIT UPSET HE CAN’T SLEEP IN THE NUDE WITH NEW NEIGHBORS NEARBY: ‘ONLY SO MUCH I CAN DO’ 

She said that most of her mom’s roles “were mainly as a pleasant, polite, wholesome woman/girl.”

The woman revealed that in some of her mother’s roles, she was “really in tune with nature and loving animals.”

She went on, “In one of her movies, she’s [shown as] anti-hunting and has a little speech to another character [about] how she doesn’t want her son raised in a world where violence is normalized (as with hunting).”

The woman on Reddit continued, “I really liked her in that movie and I also like … digging into her past and finding out new stuff about her, like articles and interviews.”

She said her mother “wasn’t really famous as an actress, but she did have some significant roles and I like learning more in my spare time.”

Said the woman in her post, “I found an old article from the late 1960s when she was 14 or 15 about how she was starting modeling and talking about her aspirations to be an actress. In the article, the bit that has stuck with me was [the] part where it said she loves hunting foxes with her dad.”

‘RUDE’ TRAVELER TOOK UP TWO BUS SEATS, NEVER BUDGED FOR OTHERS AS REDDIT WRITERS EXPLODE ON HER

Added the woman, “It was accompanied by two photos of her — one of her in a forest with a hunting rifle, presumably tracking a fox, and the other was a photo of her with a full smile with the rifle in her hands.”

Wrote the young woman further, “This really caught off me [in] left field and I was genuinely just shocked. She’s never told me about this and I could have never expected it.”

The woman did not leave it there.

As she shared with others online, “I decided to phone her about it. I mentioned finding the article, which she was very positive in response to. Then I mentioned the hunting photos — and she was really dismissive about it, not apologetic at all.”

The woman went on, “I asked her does she not feel guilty about it or embarrassed and she just shrugged it off saying it was a long time ago, and she’s obviously not a poacher.” 

Said the woman, “I replied how shocked I was over this, especially with how most of her roles depict her, and I was a little cross about it.”

The young woman went on in her post, “She got defensive and made this remark trying to say I’m being sexist because I’m shocked she wasn’t doing typical English girl stuff in the 1960s and I should grow up.”

REDDIT USER EMPTIES DAUGHTER’S COLLEGE FUND TO HOLD ONTO MALIBU DREAM HOUSE — TEEN IS ‘FURIOUS’

The woman continued, “I responded, saying, ‘I doubt many kids in the 1960s were hunting foxes.’”

Added the woman, “She gave a quick goodbye and hung up.”

The woman then asked others, “Am I in the wrong for being upset about this?”

Fox News Digital reached out on the mother-daughter standoff to a clinical psychologist for insight.

New York City-based Dr. Jayme Albin, PhD, said, “There is truth to the saying, ‘If you go digging, be prepared for what you will find.’”

She added to Fox News Digital about the personal drama, “Everyone has a past, even parents — and that includes personal experiences that may or may not reflect a child’s vision of them or their present-day persona.”

Said Dr. Albin as well, “It seems like this person has built a [truth] about her mother as a young person based on the images of her acting, not by actually asking her about her past.”

Advised the psychologist directly to the young woman about her mother, “Try asking her about her past experiences. Perhaps there is a sensitive reason that she never shared this with you.”

REDDIT COMMUNITY OPENS WOMAN’S EYES TO HER MISTREATMENT OF HER DAUGHTER: ‘APOLOGIZE’

A father of four in New York who has hunted before said of the drama, “There’s a big difference between domestic animals and animals that are hunted throughout this country. Hunters respect the animals, even the ones they kill — they show respect for them. Wild animals can be a food source.”

He also said, “Why is the woman judging her mother this way?”

Plenty of people on Reddit — more than 2,000 — reacted to the post and some 1,400 people shared comments about it.

One commenter — who earned 13,000 “upvotes” for this reaction — told the young woman, “You’re the [a–hole], but not because hunting is bad or whatever. Because you looked at her acting roles and presumed that must be how she is.”

Added this person, “It’s called acting for a reason. Why are you getting mad at her for having hobbies that differ from her roles?”

Wrote another person, striking a similar note, “She was 14 [at the time of her fox hunting] and doing a bonding activity with her dad — I’m sure he’s gone now and she probably has some wonderful memories of them spending time together.”

Yet another individual shared these thoughts: “I hate to be the one to break this to you, but your mom was an actress. Actors read from a script. The words they say and the actions they take on screen are not their personalities.”

This individual went on, “If your mom hunted in her past and never mentioned it, it’s likely because she moved on from that part of her past and it simply is not important to her. I actually feel bad for your poor mother who raised a child incapable of distinguishing between reality and make-believe.”

Another commenter was far blunter.

“I hunt foxes and I’m not apologetic about it. You can yell at me all you want and I still won’t be apologetic. The only thing you’ll accomplish is making me dislike you further.” 

Said still another, “I do not like hunting but I do NOT think [people] should be apologetic because [they] do.”

This person added, “I find it immensely irritating to police someone’s feelings like that and [to be] clutching my pearls if they dare not regret doing what I don’t like.”

Another commenter said, “Are you kidding me. Being angry about something that happened over 60 years ago — when she was barely old enough to think for herself. Absolute joke.”

A different commenter shared this perspective: “Hunting isn’t your thing, which is your prerogative, but it was an activity that your mom had with her father. You are transferring yours and maybe today’s beliefs to something in the past — in this case the 1960s. Different time frames, different thought processes and different activities that you’re judging.”

Said the same person, “Your mom has every right to look back at it fondly. Stop being all high and mighty with your perspective. It’s going to be different than your mom’s.”

Another person put it this way: “Your mom has absolutely NOTHING to apologize for. Are you always so ridiculously judgmental???”

NHL commish doubles down on desire to keep Coyotes in Arizona amid failed arena vote: ‘We’ll make it work’

Over the years, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has made it clear he wants a hockey franchise in Arizona. On Friday, Bettman double down on his position.

“It’s a good market, and if we can make it work, we’ll make it work,” Bettman said during his annual state of the league news conference ahead of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final

Bettman’s reaffirmation of the NHL and the Arizona Coyotes’ commitment to the Phoenix area comes more than two weeks after voters in Tempe made it clear they were not in favor of building a new arena and entertainment district.

With the setback, the Coyotes plan to play at the 5,000-seat Mullett Arena on the campus of Arizona State University for the 2023-24 season.

Bettman did acknowledge there will likely be some bumps along the road in the process of finding a long-term home for the Coyotes. 

“We’ve had our challenges,” he said.

CONNECTICUT GOVERNOR PUSHES FOR COYOTES TO MOVE TO HARTFORD, SAYS HE HAS MEETING WITH GARY BETTMAN

The commissioner added that the results of last month’s vote surprised him and left him feeling disappointed, but he was not caught off guard by the voters’ decision.

“Team-related referendums in all sports don’t do well,” Bettman said. “The Islanders did one (in 2011), and it lost. They got their building. When we were looking at Columbus for an expansion, that building referendum went down.”

At the opposite end of the NHL spectrum are the Ottawa Senators, who are close to being sold for what Bettman expects will be around $1 billion — “give or take.”

“I’ve always felt that we’ve been undervalued, so this, to me, is just an affirmation that our franchises are more valuable than Forbes or Sportico or many investment bankers have said,” Bettman said. “Our competitive balance is extraordinary, and that should somehow be equating to higher values, and I think you’re beginning to see that.”

When the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights concludes, Bettman may meet with executive Stan Bowman and coach Joel Quenneville, whom he must reinstate for either to take another job with a team. 

Bowman resigned as Blackhawks GM, and Quenneville as Panthers coach in October 2021 after an investigation into Chicago’s 2010 sexual assault scandal revealed their roles in the team mishandling the situation.

Bettman said Bowman and Quenneville each requested a meeting and that his office told them he’d deal with them after the playoffs.

If Babudar is found, he will be held on $1 million bail because he’s accused of removing the ankle monitor.

KC Crime Stoppers site says Babudar is on the list for “failure to appear in court, warrant for bank robbery.” 

Babudar was scheduled to make a court appearance in Bixby to be arraigned on charges from the robbery, according to FOX4 KC.

TOM BRADY SAYS HE AND BILL BELICHICK HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIP; ‘VERY FORTUNATE’ TO PLAY FOR HIM

Two days before the Chiefs were to play the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Houston in December, fans wondered where Babudar’s Chiefs-centric tweets were because he’s normally active during the games.

People on Reddit were quick to make the connection that the superfan was arrested for allegedly robbing a bank in Bixby, Oklahoma.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on bond in February.

According to ESPN, Babudar wasn’t at the Tulsa hotel where he was staying, and his monitoring device was found in the woods nearby.
