And there it is. Good choice for Carr, a domed team in a "rebuilding" division plus probably the best defense he's had the entire career.

Donna Vekic wins Monterrey 250 beating top seed Caroline Garcia 6-4 3-6 7-5 in the final.

All came down to break point conversion, Vekic 3/3, Garcia 2/16

That is some big ass trophy for a ITF W60 tournament! WTA would be proud. Who says Slovakians can't go big in life (outside of hockey life ) @hckošice

Marta Kostyuk wins her first WTA title in Austin 6-3 7-5 over Varvara Gracheva in the final.

Wilson and their red dress can be proud they signed her at the right time when she can maybe make a run towards Top 30 of the rankings this season.

Obviously there was no handshake at the end given Kostyuk's previous comments.

Marcus Ericsson comes through the carnage to win the St. Petersburg race

Kyle Kirkwood joins the ski flying efforts...

IndyCar season started in St. Petersburg with a ski jumping effort from Devlin DeFrancesco. Everyone walked away.

Llopis is conscious but could be a concussion? He whacked the ground with the side of his head there.

wins the medal table. As if you think biathlon and nordic skiing was enough for them...

Let's see if Jakub Szymański can become the most surprising medallist at these champs...

Hurske 7.79 NR wins women's 60H. Just a tad slower than Skrzyszowska's EL time...

Four gold medals for at these EIC. Talk about the best ratio per capita

Iapichino 6.97, NR in back-to-back jumps and goes into silver...

Iapichino 6.91 NR and Mihambo off the podium

Still no official results for men's 800 on the EA site so I presume the protest is on...

Hodgkinson wins women's 800 ahead of Horvat.

So the order was for the 1000 race alone and not the final standings. Meh...

Sorry, watching F1 Grand Prix at the same time

Verstappen wins Bahrain GP ahead of Perez. Alonso 3rd which suggests Aston Martin testing pace is genuine and they can mix it up at front (at least until the usual development race heats up). Sainz 4th then Hamilton, Stroll and Russell. Mercedes almost 50 secs off the pace so on the back foot again.

Leclerc retired from 3rd place with power loss so Ferrari doesn't even tease they can keep up with Red Bull already.

Skotheim wins the heptathlon gold.

runs away with women's 4x400 like expected. silver and third-rate takes bronze.

Watrin with turbo on the last leg and wins 4x400 relay.

from 1st to 4th on the last leg

20 minutes until Bahrain Grand Prix! Red Bull 1-2 on the grid ahead of Ferrari and Alonso in the Aston Martin which appears to be on pace with the usual heavy-hitters

Coming back from torn ACL Jaqueline Cristian has gone down to ITF level after some bad losses in WTA and today she won the Trnava 60K tournamenent 7-6 7-6 in the final over Oceane Dodin. Earlier this weeks Cristian saved 7 match points vs Clara Tauson in R2

Two 250 finals on Sunday:

Monterrey (Mexico)

Caroline Garcia vs Donna Vekic

Austin, Texas

Marta Kostyuk vs Varvara Gracheva

The second one could be high drama given Kostyuk's vocal stance against Russian players, probably only a raquet tap here and no handshake. Both going for their first WTA title which adds more fuel...
