NCAAFB – Freeman guides No. 18 Notre Dame back from  0-2 start

  Marcus Freeman’s started his first full season as  Notre Dame coach with a stumble and a fall. Losing at No. 2 Ohio State was  understandable. Losing the home opener to Marshall and sliding from preseason  No. 5 to out of the rankings was not. And losing starting quarterback Tyler  Buchner with a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 2 only made matters worse.  The Fighting Irish responded to the precarious moment by winning seven of their  next eight games — all with a new quarterback, Drew Pyne. And now the Irish are  back in the national conversation again.

Tennis – Novak  Djokovic has visa to play Australian Open in January

  The Australian  government confirmed that Novak Djokovic has been granted a visa to compete in  the Australian Open in January a year after he was deported over his stance  against COVID-19 vaccination. The 21-time Grand Slam champion had his visa  cancelled on public interest grounds on Jan. 14 and lost an appeal against  deportation in the Full Federal Court. Immigration Minister Andrew Giles says  he had approved Djokovic’s application to revoke the cancellation decision  because the ground for canceling the visa no longer existed. The visa ban could  have lasted for three years. The 35-year-old from Serbia is clear to compete at  the Australian Open, which runs from Jan. 16-29.
