Karen Khachanov advances to gold-medal match in Tokyo Olympics tennis

Karen Khachanov is into the gold-medal match in tennis at the Tokyo Olympics. The 25th-ranked Russian player beat Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain 6-3, 6-3 on Friday to reach the biggest final of his career. Khachanov's opponent for gold will be either top-ranked Novak Djokovic or Alexander Zverev of Germany, who were next to play on another humid but overcast day at the Ariake Tennis Park. Khachanov was pushed to three sets in three of his previous four matches in Tokyo but showed no signs of fatigue against Carreno Busta, who had knocked off second-seeded Daniil Medvedev in straight sets a day earlier. To celebrate, Khachanov launched a ball high into the air that landed on the arena's retractable roof. Khachanov is coming off a quarterfinal appearance at Wimbledon. Later, there's an all-Croatian gold-medal match in men's doubles featuring the top-seeded pair of Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic against Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig. Also, Djokovic was to play again with Serbian partner N

Olympics 2020: South African sets world swim record; Aussies add 6th gold

South Africa's Tatjana Schoenmaker was the star of the day, setting the first individual swimming world record at the Tokyo Olympics. Others shined, too. Evgeny Rylov completed a backstroke double for Russia, Emma McKeon gave the Aussie women another gold, and China earned a return trip to the top of the medal podium. The mighty Americans? For the first time in the meet, they spent the entire session Friday watching others win gold. Schoenmaker, a 24-year-old South African, won the women's 200-meter breaststroke with a time of 2 minutes, 18.95 seconds, breaking the mark of 2:19.11 set by Denmark's Rikke Moller Pedersen at the 2013 world championships in Barcelona. It was the third world record at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre, with the first two coming in women's relays. I wasn't expecting that at all," said Schoenmaker, who added to her silver in the 100 breast. It couldn't have been a better race. It still just doesn't sink in, maybe one day." Rylov thoroughly snuffed out America

Tokyo 2020: 'Wow! Wow!' Women get Olympic track off to a sizzling start

Usain Bolt might be long gone from the sprint scene. It doesn't mean Jamaica has slowed down one bit. Nobody has, at least not on the women's side of the sport. An opening day at the Olympics that's supposed to produce little more than a brisk jog for the world's best at 100 meters turned into something very different Friday. Reigning world champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce ran her heat in the nearly empty Olympic Stadium in 10.84 seconds. Her Jamaican rival, defending Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah, finished in 10.82. And Marie-Josee Ta Lou, the Ivory Coast sprinter who finished an excruciating fourth in Rio de Janeiro, kept saying Wow! Wow! after she crossed the finish line in a blistering personal best of 10.78. They were the fifth, sixth and seventh-fastest times of the year, produced on a day when seven of 54 sprinters hit a personal best all in an opening round designed more for shaking out cobwebs than watching the clock. All that even though the field was missing
