John McEnroe and Ivan Lendls Cold War-era enmity was such that their tennis matches were almost as threatening to world peace as the Cuban Missile Crisis.And with their respective pupils Milos Raonic and Andy Murray playing for the Wimbledon title on Sunday (9 a.m. ET on ESPN/WatchESPN), its inevitable that the mens final will be seen as the renewal of their Grand Slam hostilities. But thats not how they see this match inside Raonics camp, with another of the Canadians coaches, Carlos Moya, telling the Wimbledon Diary that Team Milos havent once discussed McEnroe continuing a rivalry with Lendl.I can tell you that we havent spoken about Ivan at all, disclosed Moya, a former world No.1, and one of a trio of coaches employed by Raonic, with the other being Riccardo Piatti. There is a war between Milos and Andy. They are the players who are going to play in the final, and thats it. They are the ones who will be on the grass playing for the title, and no one else.99 problems, tennis aint oneAlong with his wife Beyonce, Jay Z was among Serena Williams guests on Centre Court for the singles final. The rapper knows his tennis -- and in years to come he could be back at the All England Club in a professional capacity, as a leading players agent.That would be through his Roc Nation Sports agency, which represents Frances Tiafoe, an 18-year-old American who is already ranked in the mens top 200. It was Jay Z himself who convinced Tiafoe to choose Roc Nation Sports rather than one of the more established tennis management companies. Jay Z invited Tiafoe backstage at one of his concerts and, according to the teenager, told me he wanted me on the team -- that got my attention. Jay Z wasnt the only rapper who enjoyed Williams victory -- Snoop Dogg tweeted his congratulations.Murray in the moneyVictory for Murray -- which would come with a cheque for ￡2 million -- would be good news for British start-up companies. Already this year he has invested in a navigation app for bicycles, a live-tracking device for dogs, a beauty on demand service, an ice cream company, a train subscription service, a peer-to-peer lender, a film-streaming platform and whats been described as the Netflix for magazines.By reaching the final, Murray is already guaranteed to receive ￡1 million for his efforts this fortnight, but clearly if he can double that amount he will have more left over to invest. Raonic, meanwhile, may well spend some his money on a piece of modern art.

NMD R1 Mens Black And White . -- Cam Newton pranced into the end zone, placed his hands over his chest and did his familiar Superman pose. CHICAGO -- There will be a familiar voice heard loud and clear Tuesday night at the United Center, booming out instructions and bellowing about calls.It belongs to Tom Thibodeau, the intensely driven coach who used to coach the Chicago Bulls (13-10) and now calls the shots for the Minnesota Timberwolves (6-18).Thibodeau, who went 255-139 in five seasons with Chicago, will face his former team for the first time as an NBA coach since the Bulls fired him in May 2015. There are only four Bulls players left who played for Thibodeau in Chicago, but they know exactly what to expect.Playing against Thibodeaus teams usually means physical play and intense defense, despite the Timberwolves looking to end a four-game losing streak.He used to tell us in the locker room, You got to hate those guys, you got to stick it to them, Bulls forward Taj Gibson told the Chicago Tribune. So, I know hes going to come in here and have those young guys ready and waiting. Its kind of a nerve-wracking feeling because you know that guy knows everything about you. He knows all your moves. Its going to be a good prep.Thibodeaus bark, however, is worse than the Timberwolves bite thus far. Theyre 12 games below the .500 mark, are 2-8 in their past 10 games and have struggled converting fourth-quarter leads into wins.Such was the case Sunday in a 116-108 loss to the Golden State Warriors at Target Center. The Warriors trailed by 10 points heading into the fourth, but outscored Minnesota 38-20 in the quarter for the win.It cant be good for Thibodeaus blood pressure, but he claims thats not the case. He wass asked recently how he is handling all the losses, and he didnt hesitate to answer.ddddddddddddGreat, Thibodeau told the Minneapolis Star-Triibune. You have to be consistent. Sometimes things go your way, sometimes they dont. But every day, put everything you have into it and thats all you can do. Im good. Ive got a great group of guys. As long as theyre working hard, playing for each other, putting everything they have into each and every day, Im fine.He preached those same lessons to the Bulls for five seasons. Many of them stuck and remain with his former players. Jimmy Butler, Chicagos leading scorer, is one of them.Butler said Thibodeaus insistence on working hard at both ends of the floor was vital to his rise from being a late first-round pick to one of the NBAs best all-around players. Thibodeau was hard on guys like Gibson and Butler, but theyre both now major components in Chicagos lineup.I got better from it, Butler told CSN Chicago. The numbers speak for themselves. Im very grateful he coached me for my first four years and the relationship we still have that we built upon over the (past) summer (with USA Basketball), that will forever be my guy. We went through the trenches together, along with my former teammates. I got love and respect for everybody.The Bulls recalled guard R.J. Hunter from the Windy City Bulls of the D-League on Monday. Minnesota reserve forward Nemanja Bjelica has missed the past two games with a sore ankle. ' ' '
