2 years after French Open title, 1 year after 1st-round loss, COVID, Krejcikova aims to forget

PARIS (AP) — Two years ago at the French Open, Barbora Krejcikova arrived relatively unknown and relatively unaccomplished — and left with championships in both singles and doubles, something no woman had done at Roland Garros in more than 20 years.A year ago at the French Open, Krejcikova came in after three months off because of an elbow injury and her title defense in singles ended with a first-round loss, only the third ever by the previous year’s champion in more than a half-century of the Open era.And then her title defense in doubles ended before that event began thanks to a positive test for COVID-19, which hit her so hard she didn’t get out of bed for four days.As Krejcikova prepared to return to action in Paris on Tuesday, facing Lesia Tsurenko at Court 7, this much was clear in her mind: She does not want to dwell on what happened in Paris either of the past two years.“It all happened, but I’m definitely not thinking about it anymore,” Krejcikova said in an interview with...

The Panthers’ fanbase has not been this excited since the days of Beazer and Company who had it raining rats at the old Miami Arena during the Cats’ first Stanley Cup run back in the 90s. 7News’s Mike DiPasquale spoke to some of those players to ask how the current team is similar to theirs.It’s been 27 years since the Panthers last made the ‘Chase for the Cup.’ “This team is writing their own destiny,” said Billy Lindsay. He was a forward on the 1996 Panthers team that made it to the Stanley Cup finals. As far as this year’s Panthers team, Lindsay and some of his teammates from 1996 see some similarities.“You have to have guys that are able to not shrink at this time of year but raise their game,” said Lindsay. “You have a bunch of guys that were able to raise their game when it came into the playoff time.
