BLAINE, Minn. (AP) -- John Wroblewski was named the head coach of the U.S. national women's hockey team on Tuesday after recent success guiding the men's development program.
Wroblewski's hiring is currently limited to coaching the American women at the world championships in Denmark in August. He replaces Joel Johnson, who is stepping down after one year as part of his commitment to coach the University of St. Thomas women's program.
Wroblewski takes over an aging U.S. team that's in transition after settling for silver medals following losses to Canada at both the Beijing Winter Games in February and the world championships in August.
Wroblewski has spent the past two seasons coaching the Los Angeles Kings' American Hockey League affiliate, the Ontario Reign.
From Neenah, Wisconsin, the 41-year-old Wroblewski is best known for his four years at the National Team Development Program.
NADAL, DJOKOVIC PLAY THRILLER
PARIS (AP) -- Rafael Nadal insists he can't know for sure whether any match at Roland Garros might be his very last at a place he loves, a place he is loved.
For now, if he keeps winning and keeps performing the way he did during his monumental quarterfinal victory over longtime rival Novak Djokovic that began in May and ended in June, Nadal will have more chances to play.
With a mix of brilliant shot-making and his trademark resilience, Nadal got past the top-seeded defending French Open champion Djokovic 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (4) to move a step closer to his 14th championship at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament and what would be a 22nd major trophy overall, adding to records that he already owns.
Nadal turns 36 on Friday, when he will face third-seeded Alexander Zverev in the semifinals.
BROWNS QB FACES 23RD LAWSUIT
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Another massage therapist has filed a civil lawsuit against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, raising the number of women who have accused him of sexual misconduct to 23.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing all the women, filed the latest lawsuit Tuesday in Texas and said in a text to the AP that there could be more legal action forthcoming against Watson.
"I will be filing a 24th case soon," he said.
Buzbee did not provide any details about the latest case.
The previous 22 lawsuits were filed in 2021, and two of those cases recently received national attention when two of the women were interviewed for a segment on HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel."
Watson has denied any wrongdoing, and his lawyer, Rusty Hardin, reiterated the 26-year-old's innocence while commenting on lawsuit No. 23.
