While the Heat have a five-game schedule in Week 14, Orlando and Portland play only twice.

A great player and a wonderful man.

The fact she'll be the oldest player ever to compete in the Australian Open women's singles draw wasn't something she realized until after she'd received a wild-card entry to play at the year's first major for the first time in five years.

Nacho Elvira will head into the final day of the Dubai Invitational with a two-shot lead after a 3-under 68 in Saturday's third round, while Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry also remained in contention. Elvira started the day tied for the lead with Lowry and started slowly with six pars and a bogey on the seventh, but birdies on the ninth, 10th, 13th and 17th meant he pulled away with an 8-under total of 205.

Strasbourg new coach Gary O’Neil enjoyed a succesful Ligue 1 debut, guiding his team to a 2-1 win over local rival Metz in the French league on Sunday. O'Neil, who started his tenure with a comfortable win at a fourth-tier club to reach the last 16 of the French Cup last weekend, was appointed earlier this month as a successor to Liam Rosenior, who left for Chelsea. Strasbourg had failed to win its past five league matches and the win lifted O'Neil's side to seventh in the standings.

Will Power casually walked through the near-empty fan zone at Daytona International Speedway in a simple, white firesuit void of any Penske or Verizon Wireless logos. One of the winningest drivers in IndyCar history was practically unnoticeable at an unfamiliar track where few should have recognized the Australian. Others handed him diecasts of his iconic No. 12 Team Penske car for his signature.

Wolverhampton, the Premier League's last-placed team, continued its resurgence by holding Newcastle to a 0-0 draw to extend its unbeaten run to five games in all competitions. Wolves collected just two points from its first 18 league games, but has earned six points from its last four. Wolves need four more points to avoid the lowest ever total in a single Premier League season — 11 by Derby County in the 2007-08 campaign.

A horrid showing from the Hawks on their return home.
