Rafael Nadal has amassed a plethora of amazing records and statistics in his excellent career, and his Davis Cup record is right up there as well. Boris Becker recently expressed his feelings about the Spaniard’s Davis Cup record as he bid farewell to tennis. The German legend compared his own record in the competition to that of Nadal’s. Nadal made his debut for Spain at the Davis Cup in 2004. That year, he lost to Czech Republic’s Jiri Novak in his first-ever appearance but he eventually helped Spain win the Davis Cup title. He went unbeaten in 29 matches after the loss to Novak, making it the tournament’s third-longest winning streak since the Open Era. First on the list with the highest streak is Marcos Baghadtis with 36 consecutive wins followed by Bjorn Borg with 33. Nadal had the chance to extend his record to 30 matches but failed to do that after losing 4-6, 4-6 to Netherlands’ Botic van de Zandschulp in the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup. The match marked the end of Nadal’s professional tennis career. Tennis legend Boris Becker, who boasts a 22-match winning streak at the Davis Cup, took to social media to praise Nadal’s feat. That’s one hell of a record in DC (Davis Cup) and I thought mine was good. Nadal’s loss to Van de Zandschulp was his second defeat at the Davis Cup. However, he won the Cup five times (2004, 2008, 2009, 2012, and 2019) in his career. Boris Becker also praised Rafael Nadal for his exceptional career following retirement from tennis Since Rafael Nadal announced his retirement from tennis last month he has received a plethora of tributes. However, after playing his final career match, he received another round of tributes from legends and athletes. One of them was Boris Becker, who took to Instagram to share pictures and a heartfelt note to the Spaniard. The pictures were memorable moments Becker shared with Nadal on the court. One of the photos showed the German legend interviewing Nadal and another presenting him the Laureus World Sports Award. One of the most iconic sportsman ever, sadly left the game of tennis. You gave us unbelievable moments on court that will be remembered forever. A deep sense of gratitude from me and anybody that loves the game. A post shared by Boris Becker (@borisbeckerofficial) Nadal retired, having won 92 career titles, including 22 Grand Slam and 36 Masters 1000 titles. He holds the record for the longest streak of consecutive weeks spent in the ATP Top 10 rankings (912) and was year-end World No.1 five times.

'India In Last 24hr' Instagram Page Set To Launch Music LabelA season of protests, forfeits and lawsuits ended quietly Saturday on the volleyball court with San José State losing the Mountain West Conference women's tournament final to Colorado State. The loss deprived San José State from claiming the conference's automatic bid to the 64-team NCAA tournament, which could have extended the controversy centered on the team's transgender player. Instead, top-seeded Colorado State earned the automatic bid by winning in four sets. Fewer than 200 spectators attended the match at UNLV, and the fans were respectful, cheering every player during pregame introductions and during the action. Players encouraged one another throughout the match and exchanged hugs when it was over. The only bit of political activity came when Colorado State star player Malaya Jones and teammates Kennedy Stanford and Naeemah Weathers knelt during the national anthem. Colorado State coach Emily Kohan told reporters the players have knelt before matches since 2020. "They've knelt since their freshman year, when the Black Lives Matter movement was going on, and, in this program, we raise critical thinkers to make decisions for what's important to them," Kohan said. "And, for those three, they're Black players, and it's been important to them for five years. And they've stood their ground for saying that this is something that they believe in, and we've all supported them." The focus on volleyball and sportsmanship was a welcome departure from a roller-coaster season in which four Mountain West teams — Boise State, Wyoming, Utah State and Nevada-Reno — each chose to forfeit or cancel two conference matches to San José State. Boise State also forfeited its conference tournament semifinal match to the second-seeded Spartans, who had a first-round bye and only played one match in the tournament. The transgender player has been on the San José State roster for three seasons after transferring from a college on the East Coast, although this is the first season opponents have protested the player's participation. The player is not being named by The Los Angeles Times because they haven't publicly identified as transgender. The issue became public when San José State co-captain Brooke Slusser joined a lawsuit in September against the NCAA filed by former All-American swimmer and anti-trans-athlete activist Riley Gaines. The suit alleges that NCAA transgender eligibility policies violate Title IX and the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. Slusser alleges in the lawsuit that the inclusion of a transgender player poses an unfair advantage and safety hazards. The NCAA adopted new rules a year ago pertaining to transgender athletes, who must document sport-specific testosterone levels at the beginning of their season and again six months later. They also must document testosterone levels four weeks before championship selections. "We are steadfast in our support of transgender student-athletes and the fostering of fairness across college sports," said John DeGioia, chair of the NCAA board of governors and Georgetown president. "It is important that NCAA member schools, conferences and college athletes compete in an inclusive, fair, safe and respectful environment and can move forward with a clear understanding of the new policy." Nevertheless, the schools that forfeited volleyball matches have the backing of politicians in their states. Idaho's Republican Gov. Brad Little recently signed an executive order barring sports teams at Boise State and other public schools in the state from playing against teams with transgender athletes. San José State was left to piece together its season against opponents willing to play. Colorado State was one of those. "Our team played their hearts out today, the way they have done all season," San José State coach Todd Kress said in a statement after the conference tournament loss. "This has been one of the most difficult seasons I've ever experienced and I know this is true as well for many of our players and the staff who have been supporting us all along. Maintaining our focus on the court and ensuring the overall safety and well-being of my players amid the external noise have been my priorities." Slusser, San José State associate head coach Melissa Batie-Smoose and 10 other current and former players filed another lawsuit Nov. 13 aimed at having the transgender player removed ahead of the conference tournament, stating that her inclusion violated Title IX rights for gender equity in federally funded institutions. But a federal judge last Monday rejected the lawsuit, and a day later, another judge rejected Slusser's appeal. The transgender player took the court along with Slusser and San José State was defeated, ending a turbulent season that Kress said included attacks on social media. "Our team prepared and was ready to play each match according to established Mountain West and NCAA rules of play," Kress said in his statement. "We did not take away anyone's participation opportunities. Sadly, others who for years have played this same team without incident chose not to play us this season. "To be clear, we did not celebrate a single win by forfeiture. Instead, we braced for the fallout. Each forfeiture announcement unleashed appalling, hateful messages individuals chose to send directly to our student-athletes, our coaching staff, and many associated with our program." ©2024 Los Angeles Times.

NBA fines Minnesota guard Edwards $75,000 for outburst
Insurgents' stunning march across Syria gained speed on Saturday with news that they had reached the suburbs of the capital and with the government forced to deny rumors that President Bashar Assad had fled the country. The rebels' moves around Damascus, reported by an opposition war monitor and a rebel commander, came after the Syrian army withdrew from much of southern part of the country, leaving more areas, including two provincial capitals, under the control of opposition fighters. The advances in the past week were among the largest in recent years by opposition factions, led by a group that has its origins in al-Qaida and is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the United Nations. As they have advanced, the insurgents, led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, or HTS, have met little resistance from the Syrian army. The U.N.’s special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, on Saturday called for urgent talks in Geneva to ensure an “orderly political transition.” Speaking to reporters at the annual Doha Forum in Qatar, he said the situation in Syria was changing by the minute. In Damascus, people rushed to stock up on supplies. Thousands rushed the Syria border with Lebanon, trying to leave the country. Many shops in the capital were shuttered, a resident told The Associated Press, and those that remained open ran out of staples such as sugar. Some shops were selling items at three times the normal price. “The situation is very strange. We are not used to that,” the resident said, insisting on anonymity, fearing retributions. “People are worried whether there will be a battle (in Damascus) or not.” It was the first time that opposition forces reach the outskirts of Damascus since 2018, when Syrian troops recaptured the area following a yearslong siege. Amid the developments, Syria’s state media denied rumors flooding social media that Assad has left the country, saying he is performing his duties in Damascus. Assad's chief international backer, Russia, is busy with its war in Ukraine. Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah, which at one point sent thousands of fighters to shore up Assad's forces, has been weakened by a yearlong conflict with Israel. Iran, meanwhile, has seen its proxies across the region degraded by regular Israeli airstrikes. Pedersen said a date for the talks in Geneva on the implementation of U.N. Resolution 2254 would be announced later. The resolution, adopted in 2015, called for a Syrian-led political process, starting with the establishment of a transitional governing body, followed by the drafting of a new constitution and ending with U.N.-supervised elections. Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said insurgents were in the Damascus suburbs of Maadamiyah, Jaramana and Daraya. Opposition fighters were also marching from eastern Syria toward the Damascus suburb of Harasta, he added. A commander with the insurgents, Hassan Abdul-Ghani, posted on the Telegram messaging app that opposition forces had begun the “final stage” of their offensive by encircling Damascus. Syria’s military, meanwhile, sent large numbers of reinforcements to defend the key central city of Homs, Syria’s third largest, as insurgents approached its outskirts. The shock offensive began Nov. 27, during which gunmen captured the northern city of Aleppo, Syria’s largest, and the central city of Hama, the country’s fourth largest city. HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Golani told CNN in an interview Thursday from Syria that the aim is to overthrow Assad’s government. The Britain-based Observatory said Syrian troops have withdrawn from much of the two southern provinces and are sending reinforcements to Homs, where a battle is looming. If the insurgents capture Homs, they would cut the link between Damascus, Assad’s seat of power, and the coastal region where the president enjoys wide support. The Syrian army said in a statement Saturday that it has carried out redeployment and repositioning in Sweida and Daraa after its checkpoints came under attack by “terrorists.” The army said it is setting up a “strong and coherent defensive and security belt in the area,” apparently to defend Damascus from the south. The Syrian government has referred to opposition gunmen as terrorists since conflict broke out in March 2011. After the fall of the cities of Daraa and Sweida early Saturday, Syrian government forces remained in control of five provincial capitals — Damascus, Homs and Quneitra, as well as Latakia and Tartus on the Mediterranean coast. Tartus is home to the only Russian naval base outside the former Soviet Union while Latakia is home to a major Russian air base. In the gas-rich nation of Qatar, the foreign ministers of Iran, Russia and Turkey met to discuss the situation in Syria. Turkey is a main backer of the rebels. Qatar's top diplomat, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, criticized Assad for failing to take advantage of the lull in fighting in recent years to address the country’s underlying problems. “Assad didn’t seize this opportunity to start engaging and restoring his relationship with his people,” he said. Sheikh Mohammed said he was surprised by how quickly the rebels have advanced and said there is a real threat to Syria’s “territorial integrity.” He said the war could “damage and destroy what is left if there is no sense of urgency” to start a political process. After the fall of the cities of Daraa and Sweida early Saturday, Syrian government forces remained in control of five provincial capitals — Damascus, Homs and Quneitra, as well as Latakia and Tartus on the Mediterranean coast. On Friday, U.S.-backed fighters of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces captured wide parts of the eastern province of Deir el-Zour that borders Iraq as well as the provincial capital that carries the same name. The capture of areas in Deir el-Zour is a blow to Iran’s influence in the region as the area is the gateway to the corridor linking the Mediterranean to Iran, a supply line for Iran-backed fighters, including Lebanon’s Hezbollah. With the capture of a main border crossing with Iraq by the SDF and after opposition fighters took control of the Naseeb border crossing to Jordan in southern Syria, the Syrian government's only gateway to the outside world is the Masnaa border crossing with Lebanon. Associated Press writers Albert Aji in Damascus, Syria and Qassim Abdul-Zahra in Baghdad contributed to this report.
In a cavernous warehouse north of New York City, a 16-foot robot outfitted with a cutting tool etched intricate grooves into a faceless marble head atop an alien-like torso. Water sprayed into the air as an image created with artificial intelligence entered the physical world. In February, during a three-month stint as OpenAI’s first artist in residence, Alexander Reben gained early access to the startup’s Sora text-to-video tool, which instantly generates videos up to a minute in length from written or spoken prompts. Reben, a technologist trained at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, used Nvidia’s neural radiance field technology to turn Sora’s AI-generated imagery into 3D models. The cutting tool, run by a small company called Monumental Labs, turned one of those into a 4-foot-tall sculpture carved from white Italian marble veined with black and gray. While many artists view AI as a threat to their livelihoods, Reben, whose residency ended in April, embraces it as a collaborator. “I got a closer view of how innovation happens within an AI company, and got a better idea of why it’s important to push the edges and try new things,” Reben, 39, said. Toward the end of the residency, he focused on a prototype system that turned photos of real objects into AI-generated images, poems and even short, satirical blurbs. His setup consisted of his phone, a Fujifilm Instax photo printer and another printer that spit out receipts and labels. A web browser-based system combined Reben’s code with a version of the large language model that powers ChatGPT. The “conceptual camera,” whose interface appeared on Reben’s phone screen, had 15 “modes.” One of them, which Reben calls “Silly AI Label Maker,” assigns a name to any item pictured. When he snapped an image of a yellow zinnia, for example, out popped a label designating the flower a “sunny puffball.” The vase containing the flower got a new name, too: “sunflower sipper.” Sunglasses became “shady peepers.” To demonstrate his conceptual camera, Reben held his phone above a rudimentary sketch of a face, a lone tear falling from each eye, alongside a shape that passed for a tree. Almost as quickly as he took the photo, an image sprang from a hand-held printer. The setup turned the drawing into a bizarre, AI-generated picture that blended the face and the tree into a tearful, ghoulish man with a neck and shoulders that looked like they had been carved from wood. OpenAI, which is based in San Francisco, says artists like Reben help it understand the potential of its AI tools. His projects “showed our technology in a new light, inspiring our teams to see the creative possibilities of what we’re building,” a spokesperson for the company said in an email. But Hugh Leeman, an art lecturer at universities such as Duke, Colorado State and Johns Hopkins, wonders if the residency is just a marketing move to appease artists who worry their work is being used to train AI systems without permission, payment or credit. Some are concerned that AI could alter the very nature of creativity. “From a company standpoint, they’re getting out ahead of the curve here,” Leeman said. “This is a mechanism of saying: ‘Look, we’ve always loved artists. In fact, we’ve worked with artists.’” But he is a fan of Reben. Leeman started researching his work after seeing it last year at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, California. Leeman was most struck by the cheeky mischief — like the AI-generated snubs of the artist’s show that rotated on a wall display, declaring it, among other insults, a “masterstroke of blandness.” “It was both criticizing AI and criticizing him for using it,” Leeman said. “I thought, what a beautiful sense of humor and self-awareness on this that is very needed in the art world.” That humor comes through in Reben’s camera. One of its modes takes images and gives them an absurd twist: Imagine a battalion of tiny toy soldiers climbing a scone as if it were a hilly battlefield. Reben took a photo of sunglasses sitting on a table at his home in Berkeley, California. (He had set out those and other random objects for his demonstration.) The camera produced eight paragraphs under the headline “Local Sunglasses File Restraining Order Against Unrelenting Sun.” The overworked glasses, according to the text, are simply asking for more temperate working conditions: “a few clouds” now and then, or an “occasional overcast day.” “The sun has yet to respond to the allegations,” the passage continues. “Legal experts speculate that the solar defendant might struggle to appear in court given its 93-million-mile commute and busy schedule keeping the solar system in order.” Reben’s works, including some created during the OpenAI residency, are on view at the Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles. In December, they will appear as part of an exhibit by the Bitforms Gallery at Untitled Art, a contemporary art fair in Miami Beach. Reben said that he understood and empathized with the concerns roiling the artist community as AI evolved, but that new technologies always face growing pains. “There are different types of art,” he said, “and different reasons that art exists.” This article originally appeared in .Thanksgiving Weekend Sports Guide: Your roadmap to NFL matchups, other games, times, odds

The London Knights took the ice for practice Wednesday without Easton Cowan for the second consecutive day. “He's just going to get reevaluated,” said Dylan Hunter, Knights assistant coach. “He’s just getting through some bumps and bruises. It’s basically a day-to-day kind of thing." Cowan got banged up Saturday in Saginaw. Without getting into specifics, Hunter called it “overall fatigue.” “It's just over how much he plays,” said Hunter. “We have had a strong schedule the last couple of weeks. So just making sure he's 100 per cent ready to go into December.” Before practice, Cowan was at Canada Life Place and told CTV News he’s hoping to play on the road trip. “We'll see here in the next couple days how I'm feeling,” said Cowan, who has recorded a point in a Knights team record 54 straight games. “We're going to take it day-by-day, and practice by practice.” London Knights assistant coach Dylan Hunter watches practices at Canada Life Place on Nov. 27, 2024. (Brent Lale/CTV News London) The Knights have a busy weekend ahead with three games in four days. They’ll head east to Peterborough Thursday, play Friday in Kingston, and after a day off, face the 67’s in Ottawa on Sunday. The next game Cowan suits up, he’ll need a goal or an assist to equal Doug Gilmour’s all-time mark of 55 straight games with a point. “I'm just going to try my best to keep it going, and that's all I can do,” said Cowan, who was seen leaving the arena before the start of practice. His teammates have been feeding him the puck consistently, trying to keep this run alive. “Every time he has the puck, you kind of got butterflies hoping he scores because it's such a cool thing,” said teammate and Knights forward Landon Sim. “You never see that anywhere. My buddy was telling me a joke the other day that he hasn’t brushed his teeth 55 days in a row. To get a point 55 games in a row is absolutely crazy.” Easton Cowan speaks to CTV News before leaving London Knights practice at Canada Life Place on Nov. 27, 2024. (Brent Lale/CTV News London) Hunter said it’s a fine line between teammates trying to get him on the scoresheet, and making sure they do what’s best for the team. “He (Cowan) is a down to earth kid, so he would never want to a guy to pass up a scoring opportunity,” said Hunter. “But as a teammate, it's in the back of your head. You want to make sure he gets that one to at least tie that streak.” But the pressure to keep this run alive has taken a physical and mental toll on Cowan. “Every day he has to come up for these games, not just be targeted for being the best player and knowing he's been tried to get shut down, but he's got this streak he's got to contend with as well,” said Hunter. “It shows how mature he is and how he comes to the rink every day with a plan. That's why it (the streak) hasn't been even touched in 30 years. It's a tough streak to attain.” Knights riding 15-game win streak Cowan’s mark isn’t the only streak the Knights have going. The team has won 15 consecutive games heading into Peterborough Thursday. "We didn't get to get to 15 wins [in a row] last year,” said Sim. “We lost in a shootout to Peterborough at 14, so getting up to 15 was pretty special. It's the biggest win streak that I've probably ever been a part of, and we’ve got to keep rolling here." London knew they would be really good when they started getting their NHL draft picks back in the lineup. They’ve jumped to number one in the Canadian Hockey League rankings. “We just got Halts (Kasper Haltunnen) back, but you still have to mesh him into the lineup,” said Hunter. “Guys are kind of monkeying around on different lines, but they've done a good job. Every time you add a new guy, it changes your identity a little bit but they've done a good job taking that information in and applying it.” London Knights goaltender Austin Elliott prepares to face a shot in practice at Canada Life Place on Nov. 27, 2024. (Brent Lale/CTV News London) Unbeaten goaltender Austin Elliott Goaltender Austin Elliott has not lost since coming to London from the Western Hockey League after the team acquired his rights from Barrie. He stopped 29 shots Sunday to improve to 9-0 in the London crease. “I heard about London out west,” said Elliott. “You hear about how great of a team it is here and how, how awesome the place is. It's everything I would have thought it would be, and I'm loving it here. We have a really good team too so that makes things a bit better.” The overage goalie said they have a “confident group” and believes they can keep this run going. “I just wanted to come in and play my game,” said Elliott. “Obviously winning is what you strive for, and that's my focus every game. It’s been really cool. We lost the first game I was here, but since then we've been on a really good run.” Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.
