ETC.: Salah voted Premier League’s player of year

Mohamed Salah has been voted player of the year by his fellow professionals in English football in recognition of an incredible scoring return to the Premier League with Liverpool. Chelsea will meet Manchester United in the FA Cup final after beating Southampton 2-0 at Wembley Stadium in London. The final will be played on May 19 at Wembley. Rafael Nadal won a record 31st Masters title after beating Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-2 in the Monte Carlo Masters final in Monaco. Nadal also became the first male tennis player in the Open era to win the same title 11 times — 13 years after his first title here. It gave him a 76th title overall and ensured the Spaniard keeps his top ranking ahead of Roger Federer.
