Djokovic withdraws from China Open because of injury

 

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) Novak Djokovic says he has withdrawn from the China Open because of an elbow injury.
The defending champion says he is ''extremely disappointed'' to miss the tournament in Beijing, where he has won four consecutive titles and has 29 victories in a row.
The 29-year-old Djokovic says he ''will continue with my rehabilitation and hope to be able to return to the ATP Tour as soon as possible.''
The U.S. Open finalist has had a poor midseason, losing at the Olympics and Wimbledon in the early stages. He has reportedly had physical and personal issues which reflected on his recent results.
Djokovic is next scheduled to play at the Shanghai Masters from Oct. 10.

Manchester United edges Zorya

 

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's header handed Manchester United a 1-0 Europa League win against Zorya at Old Trafford on Thursday, with captain Wayne Rooney again benched by Jose Mourinho.
Despite Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and a string of star names being named in Mourinho's side, United could not break down the visitors' stubborn back line until deep in the second half.
Marcus Rashford hit the crossbar before the interval with a vicious shot from inside the box, but a game of few chances appeared to be drifting towards a draw that would have left United at risk of an early European exit.
Mourinho sent for Rooney after 67 minutes and he was soon involved in United's opener, albeit inadvertently, as his mishit shot looped up for Ibrahimovic to head home from a yard out, the seventh different club the Swede has scored for in European action.
Having lost 1-0 at Feyenoord in their group opener, United needed a positive response against the Ukrainian side to boost their qualification hopes and they face a tough double-header against Fenerbahce next.
United are third in Group A despite their win, behind Fenerbahce and leaders Feyenoord, while Zorya bring up the rear with a single point from their two matches.
Zeljko Ljubenovic had an early sight of goal for the visitors and shot over, before Marouane Fellaini glanced a header wide as a strong United team made a slow start. Ibrahimovic went close after 18 minutes, but his deflected strike drifted just wide after playing a neat one-two with Pogba.
United scored three goals from corners against Leicester City in the Premier League at the weekend and they almost did it again from the resulting set-piece, Rashford's rocket of a strike cannoning off the underside of the crossbar. Juan Mata could only divert a fine Pogba cross over after 38 minutes as United struggled to penetrate Zorya's sturdy defence, before Fellaini's downward header bounced over.
The second half had a similar pre-season friendly feel about it, with few chances for either side, and it took 66 minutes for either side to produce a shot on target.
Paulinho let fly with a curling effort from outside the box, but Sergio Romero dived to his right to turn the effort around the post, with Rooney almost immediately introduced by United.
It was Ibrahimovic who provided the only goal, however, with Rooney's mistimed effort from a Timothy Fosu-Mensah cross bouncing into the turf and hanging up perfectly for the veteran Swede to nod in from close range, with Zorya goalkeeper Oleksiy Shevchenko badly out of position.
An equaliser was never likely as United closed out the match with ease to record back-to-back wins following Saturday's crushing 4-1 victory over Leicester.

Adam Carolla Is Selling $4.3 Million of Vintage Lamborghinis

You may know Adam Carolla as a successful comedian, or the man at the top of a huge podcasting kingdom. Us, we know him as a guy who just really loves cars. And while this five-car sell-off from Carolla's collection might make it look like he's abandoning the hobby, it's all for a very good cause.
Carolla is offering five of his vintage Lamborghinis, including two incredibly rare Miuras, seeking a grand total of more than $4.3 million from the sale. Why the sell-off? Carolla's rolling the money into the purchase of Paul Newman's Le Mans-winning Porsche 935, a gorgeous and historically important racer that took 2nd place at the race in 1979, and 1st place in 1981 and 1983. It's also one of the only race cars to ever be sponsored by Apple, Inc., though today it wears its Newman-era Hawaiian Tropic livery.
