The announcement is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET in Los Angeles. MORE: Maria Sharapova through the years; must-see images Agent Max Eisenbud declined to specify details about the nature of the announcement to the AP. However, reports circulated on Sunday that Sharapova, 28, might retire. Sharapova pulled out of next week’s Indian Wells event because of a forearm injury. She has not played in 2016 since losing in the Australian Open quarterfinals to Serena Williams....

Mariachi, which can refer either to the music or the musicians themselves, is typically characterized by a small group of musicians dressed in traditional clothing playing Mexican songs on mostly stringed instruments. The Google Doodle video features a mariachi serenade of “Cielito Lindo,” which roughly translates from Spanish as “lovely sweet one” and is a symbol of Mexican pride and community. The mariachi band in the Google Doodle sing the following lyrics: “De la Sierra Morena/cielito lindo, vienen bajando/Un par de ojitos negros/cielito lindo, de contrabando....

Lopetegui was sacked just over 24 hours after Sunday’s humiliating 5-1 El Clasico loss to Barcelona. The ex-Spain boss lasted 14 matches in total, with the failure to adequately replace Cristiano Ronaldo contributing to his downfall. Mariano, 25, was the most senior attacker recruited in the wake of Ronaldo’s departure and expressed appreciation to the man who brought him back from Lyon, where he spent a single season. “I will always be grateful to Julen Lopetegui, one of the people who made it possible for me to return home,” the striker wrote on Twitter....

Victor Sanchez suffered a double skull fracture and brain hematoma after he was struck by a watercraft last Friday, MLB.com reported. The 20-year-old right-hander is improving — reduced swelling and movement in his legs — according to his agent. Sanchez remains unconscious and is breathing with the aid of a ventilator. Sanchez, the second-youngest player in the Southern League, was 7-6 with a 4.19 ERA last season in Double-A.

Mario Kart Tour is officially designated a “free-to-start” title, a name chosen by Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata to indicate a step away from the familiar free-to-play structure. In practice, this is just a case of “a rose by any other name”, and players downloading Mario Kart Tour should be prepared to find just the same amount of micro-transactions, currencies, XP systems and grinding as they’d encounter in any other F2P game....

Greene hosted a live video to discuss her banishment, reading from printed-off sheets of her tweets from early this year that repeatedly violated Twitter’s COVID misinformation policies. The last tweet Greene posted before being suspended included a graph that presented false statistics about deaths related to COVID vaccines. She told her 525,700 followers during the video that “free speech is dead. And I know that sounds like something interesting to say, especially the very day that I get my personal Twitter account back....

Greene thanked former President Donald Trump for being “right all along about this virus and about the origins” before laying into Fauci during an interview on former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s War Room: Pandemic podcast. Although the origins of SARS-CoV-2 remain unclear amid ongoing investigations, Greene baselessly claimed that Fauci had taken part in a criminal effort to intentionally create the virus the causes COVID-19. “Dr. Anthony Fauci needs to get a lawyer,” Greene said....

Greene, a known QAnon supporter and vocal proponent of Donald Trump, was recently elected to represent Georgia’s 14th congressional district in the U.S. House. Her claims about the 2017 Las Vegas shooting began to circulate alongside a wave of older videos and messages shared to social media, in which Greene promoted false conspiracies surrounding the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Both are among the deadliest mass shootings in United States history, resulting in more than 75 fatalities between them, with the Las Vegas shooting being the deadliest....

Greene, who was recently appointed to serve on the powerful House of Representatives’ Oversight Committee, shared the video entitled “How to steal an election” on Saturday morning. In just over a minute, a narrator alleges a vast conspiracy to steal the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump involving the media, “Big Tech,” the Democratic Party and others, with a particular focus on President Joe Biden. Former President Trump and his allies have long made unfounded claims that the election was “stolen” from him through mass voter fraud and other irregularities, but these claims have been consistently rejected by election officials from both parties and by the courts....

The recently elected Republican congresswoman from Georgia shared the video Saturday while visiting D.C. for a new House member orientation, and said that during her visit she’s been unable to complete her daily workout inside of a gym. “I work out everyday in a CrossFit gym that is open. With people. Gyms are small businesses that have been devastated by the government mandated shut downs,” she wrote. “In DC, NOTHING is open bc of Democrat tyrannical control....

The 33-year-old was discharged from the medical center on Sunday afternoon with “no major injuries.” However, his return to play is unknown at this point. In the second period, Borowiecki collided behind the Flyers net with Morgan Frost, hitting the ice and appearing motionless for a few minutes. The training staff eventually was able to lift him onto a stretcher and get him off the ice. MORE: What is the Kraken’s new mascot?...

Reporters Tim Cato and Sam Amick released a report painting a less-than positive light on the Mavericks front office; the report indicates that star player Luka Doncic has issues with the team, specifically with executive Bob Voulgaris and the seeming inability to build a championship-contending team around him. The Mavericks owner responded to the report on Twitter later in the day. “Total bulls—,” Cuban’s tweet reads. MORE: How long is Kyrie Irving out in Nets-Bucks series?...

That made him perhaps the best-rested player when the teams returned to the field barely 12 hours later. And it showed. Urena and three relievers combined on a four-hitter and the Marlins bounced back from their marathon loss to beat Tampa Bay 3-0. J.T. Riddle singled, tripled and homered. “There is a little bit of a hangover. I’m not going to lie,” Riddle said. “You play 16 innings like that, and you come in eight hours later and have to play again, the body doesn’t feel the greatest....

Jose Fernandez would be proud. Faced with unthinkable adversity, teammates of the late Miami Marlins ace played with the emotion and passion he exemplified on a daily basis. And in their first game since Fernandez’s tragic death Sunday, the Marlins honored the 24-year-old before, during and after a 7-3 win over the New York Mets at Marlins Park. After a moving pregame ceremony, Dee Gordon connected on his first home run of the season on just the third pitch of the game, crying as he rounded the bases before being embraced by his teammates....

The former running back is unfiltered in a video produced by DigitalTrends, in which he rides around with a host and tests cars. He was his full self in front of the cameras as he sat in the passenger seat while the vehicles went off-road and beyond. The first car they drove around was the Volvo XC90.

America has always had a love-hate relationship with Martha Stewart, with her maddeningly perfect hand-carved ice wreaths and Scandinavian cloudberry cakes. But now the multimedia domestic goddess is serving up a tasty new dish the tabloids are devouring. Here’s the recipe for what the New York Post calls “Martha’s Stewing.” First, whip in the Wall Street scandal du jour: the arrest last week of Martha’s old pal, former ImClone CEO Samuel Waksal, for insider trading....

Biomutant is certainly a very different take on the martial arts genre than Sifu is. The game’s customizable protagonist is a mutant in the far future who will learn all kinds of martial arts techniques to fight other mutants and protect the Tree of Life. However, there might still be some elements of gameplay in common between Biomutant and Sifu. In general, it’s striking that 2021 already has two martial arts games coming up....

Arsenal and Madrid were wrong to snub Draxler The Frenchman impressed in his first season after joining from Monaco and was a rare bright light in an otherwise underwhelming 2015-16 campaign for United. He has struggled to build on that form this season, though, and has featured only sparingly under Jose Mourinho. The 21-year-old’s limited opportunities fuelled speculation he could move on, but United favourite Neville has urged the attacker – who scored one and set up the other in Saturday’s 2-0 win over the Hornets – to step up and prove his worth....

What cost Lorenzo was the opening leg that took place in the night as the Spaniard is not used to riding after the daylight back in Europe. I wish had an extra stage. The night stage cost me about 20 mins but overall it was a good experience in India, said Lorenzo, who finished five minutes behind Mare with a time of eight hours, six minutes and 39 seconds....

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has run aground. The debacle that was the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial derailed any promises made at the end of Dead Men Tell No Tales, during which Davy Jones returns during a mid-credits jolt. Now, the Robbie-led entry has seemingly sunk to the bottom of the sea. Vanity Fair spoke with Robbie, who has done a Scorcese movie, defined fan-favorite Batman villain Harley Quinn for the big screen, and is currently starring as Barbie in the movie about Mattel’s eponymous doll....
