She was Eugenie Bouchard's childhood hero, but the Canadian will be out to ensure Maria Sharapova doesn't become her grand slam villain when the pair meet in the Australian Open quarter-finals.
Bouchard, who progressed with a three-set victory over Romanian Irina-Camelia Begu on Sunday afternoon, has never beaten Sharapova. In what is being dubbed the battle of the glamour girls of women's tennis, Bouchard will have to overcome a 0-3 record against the Russian, which includes the semi-final heartache...

Woody Austin couldn't decide whether he should keep his 3-iron or go with a hybrid for the second round of the PGA Championship. He accidentally went with both, which cost him four shots and likely the chance to play this weekend at Oak Hill.
Austin was assessed a four-stroke penalty Friday when he discovered he had 15 clubs in the bag. His 71 became a 75 and put him at 4-over 144.

Dwyane Wade's jumper with 0.1 seconds left in overtime gave Miami a 93-91 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night, extending the Heat home-court winning streak to 12 games.
Wade scored 28 points and LeBron James led two late comebacks by Miami, finishing with 27 for the Heat. James helped force regulation by hitting a game-tying 3-pointer with 10.2 seconds left in regulation, then not allowing Indiana's Darren Collison to get a potential game-winning shot off at the other end.

Jeremy Lin collided with LeBron James shortly after tip-off, stumbling backward.
With that, the tone was set.
And Lin's rise from unknown to stardom hit its first major snag.
Chris Bosh scored 25 points, Dwyane Wade added 22 and James put up 20 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, five steals and two blocks – the first such stat line in the NBA since James himself had a night like that four years ago – as the league-leading Miami Heat stopped Lin and the New York Knicks 102-88 on Thursday night.

That is exactly what happened at the NCAA College World Series when a couple of fans kept calling out for Andrews to sign an autograph. After spending a few minutes calling her name and trying to grab the ESPN reporter's attention, one of the kids shouted, "I’m gonna watch your video tomorrow."
That didn't sit well with Andrews, who immediately looked over to the fans and stared them down.

In the transcripts, producer Robert Ross – who has claimed the attack came because he said he had a sex tape featuring O'Neal – testified that his kidnappers beat him and demanded a "videotape."
