Nigeria in this match missed the services of midfielders Ngozi Okobi-Okoeghene, Halimatu Ayinde as well as captain Onome Ebi.

However, some national under-20 team players were invited to join the squad.

But this was not enough to avoid a defeat at the Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City in Missouri.

Sophia Smith put the home team ahead in the 14th minute, with compatriot Lindsay Horan doubling the lead 25 minutes later.

Smith scored another from a simple tap-in just into time-added-on to increase the scoreline to three for the hosts.

Seven minutes into the second period, Alex Morgan made it four for the Americans from the penalty kick spot.

Both teams will clash again, in the second match of the two-match tour, at the Audi Field in Washington D. C on Tuesday.

    Serena Williams looked stunning in a hot pink
    suit when she hit the Michael Kors show in New York City on Wednesday.

    The 40-year-old tennis pro sat in the exclusive front row
    next to legendary 72-year-old Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour who usually
    keeps a poker face during runway shows.

    While seated side by side, the athlete impressively got the
    British star to lighten up by laughing as they joked around.

    Good move: Serena Williams got Vogue Editor Anna Wintour to laugh

    Her usual look: Wintour is usually stone faced with her chin up at shows, and she always has
    on her black sunglasses

    The two have been close friends for years as Anna is a big tennis fan.

    And Wintour has also worked with Serena, having put the Compton, California native on the
    cover of her magazine several times.

    Serena looked toned and slim in her suit as she added heels.

    Her highlighted hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail. 

    Pals: The two have been close friends for years as Anna is a big
    tennis fan. And Wintour has also worked with Serena, having put the Compton, California native on the cover
    of her magazine several times

    The athlete has been in the news lately as she talks about retiring from tennis to
    spend more time with her daughter Olympia, and also to work on her eponymous
    fashion brand. 

    On Anna’s other side was Anne Hathaway which may have been a sticky situation. 

    Anne played an ambitious assistant to Meryl Streep’s fashion magazine editor in the movie
    The Devil Wears Prada.

    It was widely believed Streep’s icy character was based on Wintour.

    The portrait was far from flattering.

    She nailed her look:  Williams looked stunning in a hot pink suit with a light pink
    top.

    She added silver strappy high heels as she carried her cell
    phone

    But Anna seemed to keep her cool as Hathaway chatted. 

    The Michael Kors show for his Spring 2023 collection was held during
    New York Fashion Week and attracted a very large number of celebrities.

    One after another came the big-name beauties as they wore the impressive collection from Kors,
    a 63-year-old Long Island native.

    But it was supermodel Bella Hadid who stole the day as she modeled several sexy looks,
    like a bra top with a mini skirt and a plunging cocktail dress with sequins.

    The guests: From left, Anne Hathaway – who starred in The Devil Wears Prada,
    which was reportedly based on a staffer’s employment at Vogue – with Wintour,
    Williams and Eric Adams

    What could they be talking about?

    Anne played an ambitious assistant to Meryl Streep’s fashion magazine editor

    Among the luminaries were actresses Vanessa Hudgens,
    Anne Hathaway, Alexandra Daddario, influencer Nicky Hilton, models Sofia Richie and Christie
    Brinkley, who brought her mini-me daughter Sailor Brinkley Cook, and tennis star Williams.

    Bella looked like a Bond girl in her incredible dress that had thin spaghetti
    straps and came in at the waist where it was ruched.

    The dress fell below her knee and had an asymmetrical hemline that highlighted
    her toned legs. 

    Hadid added two Wonder Woman style cuff bracelets that only added to the elegance of her look.

    The mood was serious: Anne, Anna and Serena took the show very seriously

    The cover girl’s dark hair was pulled back and she had on light makeup with no earrings of necklace. 

    Also seen was Bill Gates’ ex Melinda Gates and their daughter Phoebe Adele Gates.

    Vanessa was one of the standouts at the glamorous show as she wore a plunging
    and belted charcoal gray cat suit that made the most of her toned
    and tanned body.

    The ex of Austin Butler added a long coat in the same color with high heels. 

    The 33-year-old High School Musical veteran pulled
    back her raven locks and added dewy makeup which
    was perfect for late summer.

    This comes after the beauty attended her friend Sarah Hyland’s wedding.

    This week she said the actress was the ‘ultimate bride’.
    The 31-year-old actress recently married Wells
    Adams, and Vanessa shared some behind-the-scenes snaps from her weekend as a bridesmaid.

    Also at the Kors show was Hathaway, who is
    best known for her movie The Princess Diaries; her latest project
    is WeCrashed with Jared Leto.

    Anne also wore black as she made her way into the show. 

    The married siren had on a mock croc leather coat
    with a black turtleneck and bare legs with black stiletto pumps.

    And the Les Miserables star debuted a new hairstyle with bangs.

    The White Lotus actress Daddario opted for a black bra top with low-waisted slacks and a pinstriped blazer with her black hair worn down and a
    deep red lip.

    This comes after the newly wed beauty showed off her chest in a beige sheer Dior dress at Monday’s Emmy Awards.

    When she took to the stage for White Lotus’ win, her chest could be
    seen through the dress but she covered up with her arms in an awkward moment.

    A lighter mood: Dobrev, left, of the TV show The Vampire Diaries looked sensational in a white outfit with black leather boots.

    Nicky Hilton, right, lightened up the mood in a cream colored turtleneck sweater and white lace skirt

Australian Tennis Champion, Max Purcell Faces Doping Suspension

Published

on

Australian doubles champion, Max Purcell has been provisionally suspended after admitting to a violation of anti-doping regulations, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced on Monday.

The 26-year-old, ranked 12th in the world for doubles, confessed to using a “prohibited method” and voluntarily entered a provisional suspension beginning December 10.

The ITIA confirmed the suspension took full effect on December 12, stating, “Time served under provisional suspension will be credited against any future sanction.”

As a result of the suspension, the 26-year-old is banned from competing in, coaching at, or attending any tennis events sanctioned by the sport’s governing bodies.

This suspension rules him out of January’s Australian Open, where he was expected to be a strong contender.

Purcell’s career highlights include winning the 2022 Wimbledon doubles title with fellow Australian Matt Ebden and this year’s US Open doubles crown alongside Jordan Thompson.

In a statement, Tennis Australia clarified that the violation concerned a prohibited method rather than a banned substance.

“The International Tennis Integrity Agency confirmed the breach relates to the use of a prohibited method, rather than the presence of a prohibited substance.

“As the matter is currently under investigation, it is inappropriate to comment further at this time,” it said.

The ITIA did not provide further details regarding the breach but noted that investigations are ongoing.

This case comes amid increased scrutiny over doping in tennis. Recent incidents include Polish world number two Iga Swiatek and Italian top-ranked player Jannik Sinner.

Swiatek received a one-month sanction earlier this year after testing positive for a banned heart medication, though the violation was deemed unintentional.

Meanwhile, Sinner was cleared after twice testing positive for traces of the steroid clostebol, though the World Anti-Doping Agency has appealed the decision.

Both Swiatek and Sinner are set to compete in the Australian Open, beginning January 12.
