Draper was serving for the match in the third set, with the score, 40-30, and a match point for Draper. The Brit served and the sequence after Auger-Aliassime made the return was — The ball hits Draper’s racquet, then the ground, the racquet again and travels from the racquet to the net and drops on the Canadian’s side.

It’s still early, but Kansas City Chiefs running back Carson Steele is making a name for himself in training camp. The undrafted free agent had a great preseason debut, making the most of his limited opportunities by recording 29 yards and a touchdown on four carries. The UCLA product looked like an NFL-caliber talent, and recent reports indicate that he’s climbing up the depth chart. According to Jessee Newell, the Chiefs are giving him “a long look” with the first- and second-team offense, implying that he could start the season as Kansas City’s RB2 ahead of former first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
