Gauff of Latvia in the last 16 faces 2017 French Open champion Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko who outplayed Kateryna Kozlova of Ukraine 6-3, 6-0. Nadal’s unseeded conqueror Mackenzie McDonald was unable to continue his run, however, as he fell 7-6(6), 6-3, 6-2 to Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka.

Trump’s ex-aide Bannon sentenced to four months for contempt of Congress

The judge allowed Bannon to defer serving his sentence while he appeals his guilty verdict. Prosecutor J.P. Cooney said at Friday’s hearing that Steve Bannon chose to “thumb his nose at Congress”. A firebrand, Brannon helped articulate the “America First” right-wing populism and stout opposition to immigration that helped define Trump’s presidency. “A more egregious contempt of Congress would have been to say `Screw you Congress, take your subpoena and shove it!’” Schoen said. In addition to Bannon, prosecutors have charged former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro with contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the same committee, with a Nov 17 trial date set.

Barca exit CL with whimper; Atletico also crash out

PARIS: Barcelona’s slim hopes of advancing to the Champions League knockout stage had already evaporated by the time they took the field at Camp Nou on Wednesday and endured yet another 3-0 beating by Bayern Munich. “The Champions League has been cruel to me,” said Atletico coach Diego Simeone, whose side faces a battle with Leverkusen just for a Europa League place. But Yannick Carrasco’s first-half strike and Rodrigo de Paul’s equaliser gave Atletico 40 minutes to find a winner and keep their Champions League campaign alive. All four teams in the group are separated by just two points after Europa League champions Eintracht beat Marseille in Germany.
