BOUCHARD TOPS SHARAPOVA IN MADRID

Motivated more than usual, Eu

genie Bouchard used her game to send a message to Maria Sha

rapova by defeating the Russian 7-5, 2-6, 6-4 in a thrilling secondround match in the Madrid Open tennis tournament Monday. Bouchard, one of the most outspoken players against Sharapova’s return after a doping ban, jumped up and down after converting her second match point in just under three hours. The players casually shook hands at the net and exchanged brief plaudits. It was their first meeting since Bouchard called Sharapova a cheater and said she should have been banned for life after testing positive for meldonium in last year’s Australian Open. “I definitely had some extra motivation going into today,” Bouchard said. — AP BUONICONTI: ‘I FEEL LOST’ Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Nick Buoniconti, a member of the undefeated 1972 team and 2001 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, has suffered falls, memory loss and confusion, according to a Sports Illustrated story to be published Tuesday. “I feel lost,” Buoniconti, 76, told SI. “I feel like a child.” SI shared a preview in Peter King ’s Monday
