LONDON (Reuters) - Roger Federer turned on the style on Centre Court after a rocky start to beat Serbian Dusan Lajovic 7-6(0) 6-3 6-2 in the Wimbledon second round on Thursday. The Swiss, trying to win an eighth title, dropped his opening service game and had to battle hard in the first set before outclassing his opponent 7-0 in the tiebreak. With dark clouds looming overhead Federer looked in a hurry to get the job done and broke early in the second set to assume complete control....

First up they discuss the coolest features in Vivo’s latest Apex concept, from 60W wireless charging to a continuous zoom camera setup. Then they argue about whether LG is right to double down on its Dual Screen with the LG V60, before Dom shares his thoughts after almost two weeks with the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra – or you can read his review to find out in more detail....

I graduated from a college that was a 12-story office building. After I saw Harvard, I said to my wife, “I think I really missed out on something. From now on when we travel, I want to visit the local school.” I’ve been to 383 campuses since then. I think it’s a good idea to stay overnight and talk to as many kids as you can. You need people who will be honest....

This year’s field of talented 3-year-old thoroughbreds vying for the first jewel of horse racing’s Triple Crown on Saturday May 5 (6:34 p.m. ET post time, 6:46 p.m. ET starting time on NBC) will no longer feature the honorific Gronkowski, but there will still be plenty of star power at Louisville’s iconic Churchill Downs. Before you make your final Kentucky Derby picks for win, place and show, here’s a look at the odds, favorites and longshots and how history and conditions can hurt or help each horse....

In October of last year, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, the fifth entry in the series, received a port for all consoles and PC after being tethered to the Wii U since its original 2014 launch. However, Mask of the Lunar Eclipse was still missing in the West, a Japanese exclusive on the Wii since its release in 2008. As a whole, the Fatal Frame series has always struggled with its Western localizations, leading to long wait periods between the Japanese release and the Western release and, in the case of Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, the Western localization being canceled altogether....

The New Zealand Herald reported that Thomas Phillips, 34, from Marokopa has been charged with wasteful deployment of police personnel and resources and has been summoned to appear in the Te Kuiti District Court in November. Police spent 12 days searching for Phillips and his three young children Jayda Jin, 8, Maverick Callum-Phillips, 6, and Ember Phillips, 5. The family had last been seen on Saturday, September 11, while Phillips’ ute was later found unattended close to the tideline at Kiritehere Beach....

The vehicle is the prized new Stryker wheeled troop carrier, advertised as the first fruit of the Army’s plan to transform itself into a lighter, go-anywhere-fast force. Worse still: the Army has known it might have a problem since February, but has kept quiet about it. An Army memo sent yesterday to the head of the Stryker program, and obtained by NEWSWEEK, reports: “Evidently this issue was first raised in February 2003....

The midfielder confirmed in April that he was planning to leave BVB at the end of the season as he sought a new direction for his career, although CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke later suggested Gotze could decide to sign a new contract. The 27-year-old has started just five Bundesliga matches this season and only came on in the 87th minute in last week’s 4-0 derby win over Schalke, Dortmund’s first match since the competition restarted after weeks of suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic....

Both sides scored a goal apiece in this entertaining contest. Hernan Santana provided the Highlanders with an early lead when he scored from a free-kick in the second minute of the match. After squandering a few chances, FC Goa finally equalized in the 39th minute through an Airam Cabrera header. The second half did not see any changes in the scoreline even as FC Goa took a lot of shots....

Bartholomew Ogbeche powered the defending champions to three points with a clinical hat-trick. In the opening exchanges, the Goan club emerged entirely in control of the proceedings as they dominated possession. But they could only create a few half-chances for all their efforts. Almost immediately, the Gaurs were punished for their inability to pull ahead as the Nizams broke the deadlock through Ogbeche in the 20th minute. On the left flank, Halicharan Narzary drilled a delicious cross into the box and as the opposition defenders slammed into each other, the Nigerian forward thumped the ball home with relentless vigor....

Six executive branch agencies—the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, Defense, State and Commerce, along with the United States Trade Representative—unanimously recommended that the Chinese state-owned telecommunications company be blocked from providing international services involving the United States. “Today, more than ever, the life of the nation and its people runs on our telecommunications networks,” said John C. Demers, Assistant Attorney General for National Security said in a press release. “The security of our government and professional communications, as well as of our most private data, depends on our use of trusted partners from nations that share our values and our aspirations for humanity....

5-Star Players LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles. Not that you need a reason to start McCoy, but the Bears defense has allowed 5.1 yards per rush this year. He should run wild on Sunday night. Matt Forte, RB, Bears. While the Eagles run defense, unlike their pass defense, is solid, Forte is playing too well to sit. He’s gone over the century mark rushing in three straight games and is averaging 152....

Nadal reached his 12th final at Roland Garros by recording his sixth victory in as many matches against Federer in Paris, surging to a commanding 6-3 6-4 6-2 triumph on Court Philippe-Chatrier in two hours and 25 minutes. The 20-time major champion boasts just two wins in 16 meetings with the ‘King of Clay’ on the red dirt, his only successes coming in Hamburg in 2007 and in Madrid two years later....

“Reloaded” is a mix of greatest hits and new songs? I’ve done duets with young bands that were hits in Europe. The songs represent different eras, but the most important is “It’s Not Unusual.” That started it all in 1965. Without that hit, I’d still be looking for one. Why were you included in the blues series? My foundation, my style, is really the blues. But once I did “It’s Not Unusual” and “What’s New, Pussycat?...

Norbert Chung and his son Trevor Chung, who flew to Hawaii from the mainland U.S., were arrested on Sunday at Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, Hawaii’s KHON reported on Wednesday. According to reports, the Hawaii Attorney General’s office said the pair was arrested after a tip came in from the community. “Attorney General investigators are committed to ensuring all such leads are investigated and thank the community for their assistance and support,” the attorney general’s office said in a statement emailed to Newsweek....
