Defending champion and top seed Ros Nideffer of San Diego (Rancho Bernardo) got past fifth-seeded Eleanor Hammargren of San Clemente, 6-3, 6-3, to advance to the semifinals of the USTA National Senior Women’s Hard Court Championships.
Andy Murray's next opponent at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia knows a thing or two about hot streaks. The only previous encounter between Murray and David Goffin came last summer at Wimbledon, where Murray cruised 6-1, 6-4, 7-5.

Attempting to bounce back from a tough loss has become commonplace for Rafael Nadal, who is faced with this situation yet again as he heads into the Internazionali BNL d’Italia.

There is a famous legend, which states, “If you toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, you will return to Rome sometime in the future.” It’s one of those marketing myths that results in two million Euros per annum being thrown into the spinning waters.
If you know where you are going, the Foro Italico is approximately 3,598 steps from Piazza di Spagna, otherwise it is exactly 9,487. When you arrive, a blue-uniformed security guard named Giovanni checks your ID, scans your body a bit uncomfortably, and lets you pass onto the main walkway.
