FOOTBALL: Michigan hires Moore
Michigan hired Sherrone Moore on Friday to replace coach Jim Harbaugh, giving the 37-year-old offensive coordinator an opportunity to lead college football’s winningest program.
The school made the move two days after Harbaugh bolted to lead the Chargers with a five-year deal that gives him another chance to chase a Super Bowl title.
Moore was 4-0, including wins over Ohio State and Penn State, while filling in for Harbaugh as he served two separate suspensions for potential NCAA rules violations during the 2023 season for the national champions.
TENNIS: Sinner, Medvedev to finals
Jannik Sinner ended one of Novak Djokovic’s perfect streaks in an Australian Open upset in Melbourne, Australia, and then got to relax while Daniil Medvedev rallied from two sets down to beat Alexander Zverev to secure the other place in the final.
The 22-year-old Italian broke Djokovic’s serve twice in each of the first two sets in a surprisingly lopsided 6-1, 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-3 victory that ended the 10-time champion’s unbeaten streak in Australian Open semifinals.
Djokovic had won 33 straight matches at Melbourne since 2018 and never lost here after reaching the final four.
Third-seeded Medvedev appeared down and out after two sets, and was two points from losing in the fourth, but he rallied to beat Zverev 5-7, 3-6, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5), 6-3 after 4 hours, 18 minutes.
