Maria Sharapova continues her headline-winning ways even as she remains far from competitive tennis play. On the heels of her entrance into a fast-track Harvard Business School certification program and London appearances away from Wimbledon, the Russian's latest professional escapade saw her serve as an NBA intern during a three-day course.
A spokesperson for that North America-bound professional basketball leaguedescribed Sharapova as "very smart" and "incredibly inquisitive." 
Sharapova is serving a two-year ban from the WTA Tour as a result of testing positive for meldonium. The substance is suspected as a performance-enhancing drug, though it has been determined she did not take it with the intention of getting "a leg up" on the competition.
As written in the Washington Post, "Coincidentally, [the New York Post's] Mark Berman reports that the NBA will add meldonium to its banned-substance list in time for the coming season."
MEMORABLE 'TWEENER LOB HELPS NADAL GET TO US OPEN'S 4TH RD
by: AP September 03, 2016

NEW YORK (AP) The `tweener lob Rafael Nadal somehow conjured up to get to match point was so spectacular, he was asked whether he'd ever before hit a shot quite like that.
''Well, actually, yes,'' Nadal said, nodding and laughing. ''Not many times, but I remember one.''
This one certainly was memorable, providing quite a flourish at the end of a 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 victory over 47th-ranked Andrey Kuznetsov of Russia on Friday night that put Nadal back in the U.S. Open's fourth round for the first time since winning the 2013 title.
The owner of 14 Grand Slam trophies, including two at Flushing Meadows, Nadal hadn't been to the fourth round at any major tournament since the 2015 French Open.
This season, he lost in the first round of the Australian Open. Then he pulled out of the French Open before his third-round match because of a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, an injury that forced him to withdraw from Wimbledon altogether and miss about 2+ months on tour in all.
''You need to be patient. You need to take your time, recover, work hard,'' Nadal said. ''That's what I did. That's all.''
Nadal said the wrist, which helps generate all of that heavy topspin on his uppercut of a lefty forehand, still feels pain - but noted that it's ''something that is not limiting my game now. That's the most important thing.''
He said his forehand is improving, and he's particularly pleased to be more comfortable hitting that stroke down the line, which opens up space to allow him to hit it cross-court. Against Kuznetsov, Nadal produced 15 of his 22 winners with forehands.
But the shot everyone will talk about was not a forehand. Closing in on victory, Nadal raced toward the baseline to retrieve a lob hit by Kuznetsov. With his back to the net, Nadal lifted himself off the ground and flicked a lob of his own through his legs. His racket then slipped out of his hand, but he leaned over to grab it and eventually took that point.
Afterward, Nadal screamed, punched the air and spread his arms wide, pumping his fists.
''You cannot practice that kind of shot,'' he said.
Not everything went so perfectly for Nadal on this evening in Arthur Ashe Stadium. His level dipped in the second set, when he double-faulted five times and was broken twice.
Still, he overcame that blip and came up with a strong close. Not only has he not lost a set through three rounds, but Nadal has dropped only 20 games so far.
It's the fewest games he's lost en route to the fourth round at the U.S. Open.
Next comes a matchup Sunday against 24th-seeded Lucas Pouille of France.
''I need to be ready for the match,'' Nadal said. ''I need to be ready to play my best if I want to keep going.''



RAFAEL NADAL LOOKS HEALTHY—AND DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS—IN COMMANDING WIN OVER ANDREY KUZNETSOV

NEW YORK—Coming into the U.S. Open, Rafael Nadal said that he wasn’t in top form. Nursing a left wrist injury, the Spaniard pulled out of the French Open mid-tournament and then skipped Wimbledon. He reached the semifinals at the Summer Games in Rio, but a week later lost to Borna Coric in Cincinnati in embarrassing fashion.
Sure, he was seeded fourth in Flushing Meadows, but it was unclear how much of an impact his wrist would allow him to have.
Five days and three rounds into the tournament, the 14-time Grand Slam champion looks pretty healthy—and awfully dangerous.
After routing Denis Istomin and Andreas Seppi in the first two rounds, respectively, Nadal again won in straight sets on Friday night, hammering Andrey Kuznetsov, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2, under the bright lights of Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Nadal jumped on the 25-year-old Russian in a hurry. Before many fans had a chance to take their seats for the night-session opener, the lefty had a commanding 5-0 lead over the world No. 47. Kuznetsov would get on the board in the sixth game before Rafa closed it out. It was evident from the very beginning that Nadal’s power and precision were just too much for his opponent.
Kuznetsov, who defeated Thomaz Bellucci and Albert Ramos-Vinolas to get to the third round, began the second set much better than he did the first. The Russian took the opening game, and the players traded the first six games before Kuznetsov jumped ahead for a 4-3 lead. But just as it appeared that Nadal might be in some trouble, the 30-year-old rattled off three consecutive games to essentially end Kuznetsov’s outside chance of pulling off an upset.

Kuznetsov took the opener of the third set, just as he did the second, but any momentum that gave him quickly dissipated. Rafa took six of the next seven games to seal the match and book a spot in the fourth round.
Forever the showman, the two-time U.S. Open champion brought the New York crowd to its feet in the final game of the match. Two points from victory, Nadal hit a brilliant tweener lob to get to match point. In true Nadal fashion, he pumped his fists and emphatically punched the air. In a match with little suspense, the iconic champion made sure the fans got their money’s worth.

There was a lot to like from Nadal’s performance on Friday. Six double faults aside, the veteran played a crisp, quality match, and he certainly looks like a legitimate contender to win a third U.S. Open title.
In the fourth round in Queens for the first time since 2013—he won it all that year, it’s worth noting—Nadal will play 24th-seeded Lucas Pouille on Sunday.
