LONDON -- Heather Watson ran straight over to hug Henri Kontinen, her mixed doubles partner, after their victory was confirmed on Court One.After the lows of a first-round exit in the singles at Wimbledon, the Britons run to her first Grand Slam final has provided some much-needed cheer.Im pretty happy, to be honest. No, very happy, Watson told the BBC. I dont really know what to say. Im having so much fun on court with Henri.Watson and Kontinen had never played together before this week. But now they are into the mixed doubles final after a 7-6 (1), 6-3 win against Oliver Marach and Jelena Ostapenko.Having received walkovers in their first two matches, they had barely practised together, bar a warm-up, before beating defending champions Leander Paes and Martina Hingis in the quarterfinals,Watson beamed from ear to ear after shaking hands with their semifinal opponents at the net on Saturday. She clasped her arms around Kontinens neck again when they took their seats, and was signing autographs and posing for selfies on her way off court.It was a far cry from the frustrated figure who drew a $12,000 (￡9,294) fine -- the second-biggest in Wimbledon history -- for angrily slamming her racket to the turf during her singles defeat to Annika Beck, a sanction she deemed excessive.Watson and Kontinen, who know each other through the Finns British coach, Chris Eaton, wanted to play together at the French Open -- as a joke, according to Watson -- but didnt make the cut due to the Britons ranking. But with Wimbledon having a larger draw, they knew they would get in this time around.God, Im glad we decided to play together, she added, before admitting that being a major finalist was pretty damn cool.It would mean absolutely everything to me to win not just a Grand Slam, but here at Wimbledon, she told a media conference.Watson didnt even know she would be following Andy Murray onto Centre Court on Sunday -- something else she called pretty cool.Mixed is a fun thing, it doesnt come around very often, she said. Its a tough thing to take super seriously. Theres always different pairings. You cant really prepare in that way you can in singles.Theres definitely a lot more smiles and laughing and chatting on the mixed doubles court. I enjoy both, but there hasnt been much pressure on us. We werent expected to get to the final.Maybe I should laugh and smile more in my singles matches, and chat to myself.Watson will be hoping to claim more doubles success for Britain on Sunday, after Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett became the first Britons to win the mens wheelchair doubles title at Wimbledon.Its been an incredible week, a bit of a fairytale story so far. Hopefully I can finish it off the right way tomorrow, said Reid, who will play in the first wheelchair singles final here on Sunday.Im really pleased for Alfie, I know what its like winning your first Grand Slam. To be able to do it here on home turf, its something Ill never forget for sure. Its going to be the same for Alfie.Reid, the Australian Open wheelchair singles champion, is hoping he and Murray?-- who plays in the mens singles final against Milos Raonic -- can make it a historic double for Scotland.Not bad for a small country like ours, he said. I was on Centre Court when Andy won in 2013, which was an amazing achievement. For me, having the opportunity to win the first time theyve had a wheelchair singles event is massive.We dont speak that much; hes a busy guy, Reid said of Murray. But whenever we bump into each other at the Grand Slams we have a little chat.Tim Henman might have a battle on his hands when it comes to naming the Wimbledon hill, even if Murray said he was happy for his friend to have the privilege.I heard somebody say it was renamed Reids Ridge now. I dont know if thats going to catch on enough, Reid said, smiling. Were trying to gain a lot of new fans and followers of our sport. Seeing everybody on the hill watching on the big screen shows how far our sports come. Its a really good platform to build on.Wheelchair tennis was trending on Twitter -- thats not bad, ?Hewett said.

Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned?

Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. SHANGHAI -- Rory McIlroy is replacing his Nike driver and two fairway metals this week at the HSBC Champions as he begins to search for new equipment.Nike announced in August that it was getting out of the hard equipment business -- clubs and golf balls -- to concentrate more on its longtime strength of shoes and apparel. McIlroy, at No. 3 in the world, is the highest-ranked player in Nikes golf stable.Honestly, I didnt envisage having anything in my bad until the end of the season, McIlroy said. Look, Im playing well. Ill leave it. But I brought a few clubs out to Dubai to try out and test. I hit them and I was like, `This is good.He is using the TaylorMade M2 driver, 3-wood and 5-wood at Sheshan International.McIlroy won the Deutsche Bank Championship and the Tour Championship to capture his first FedEx Cup. A week later, he went 3-2-0 in the Ryder in a European loss. The HSBC Champions begin a stretch in of three tournaments in four weeks to close out his European Tour season.McIlroy, a four-time major champion, signed with Nike in 2013.He went back to a Scotty Cameron putter for the FedEx Cup playoffs, though McIlroy plans to stick with the Nike irons, at least through the end of the year. He said Nike recently made him a fresh set of irons.How long that lasts depends on what he finds at the end of the year. McIlroy said when his season ends at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, he plans to test equipment from every major manufacturer.The hardest part will be the golf ball, he said. I need something that works. And right now, the Nike golf ball works with the TaylorMade drive and woods, but it also works with everything else in my bag, which is perfect.ddddddddddddHe said Nike has stocked up enough golf balls to last him two to three years. That doesnt mean he wont change golf balls, but at least I have that option.Nike has some three dozen players using its equipment, a roster that includes Tiger Woods. He was using the Nike clubs at a clinic at Pebble Beach two weeks ago. Woods has not played since August 2015, and his next tournament is likely the Hero World Challenge the first weekend in December in the Bahamas.Paul Casey used a TaylorMade driver for one round at the Safeway Open last week. Kevin Chappell, who finished a career-high eighth on the PGA Tour money list last year, also switched to the TaylorMade driver for the HSBC Champions and to the Titleist golf ball.According to one player, Nike has said it will honor contracts but that it will pay only 50 cents on the dollar if a player signs another equipment deal.McIlroy is not in a rush to sign any deal.Im going to enjoy the luxury of being able to play with what I want because its the best for me, he said. All of this, the whole Nike thing that happened, one of the great things is that its given me freedom to say, `Lets go to market. Lets see what works absolutely 100 percent for me.Chappell also had the Nike irons in his bag at Sheshan International, though he started testing new clubs during his two weeks after the Tour Championship. Like McIlroy, he said he was looking for the best 14 clubs he could find.If someone wants to endorse me for using them, then great, he said.
