Amid steamy conditions at the U.S. Open, Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff both moved successfully into the third round on Wednesday. Defending champion Djokovic had a hard-fought battle before Laslo Djere retired injured.

In the NFL, Tom Brady's role as Fox Sports' lead analyst could be compromised due to his bid to buy a stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.
