Juventus clinched its 30th league title the day before when second-place Roma lost 4-1 at Catania.

Second-ranked Li Na started her Madrid Open campaign by overcoming a stubborn opponent just as third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska did to reach the second round on Monday.

Li's clay debut began with an encouraging 6-1, 7-6 (7) victory over Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens before Radwanska also advanced thanks to a 7-6 (3), 6-2 win over Canada's Eugenie Bouchard.

Elena Baltacha, a former top-50 professional tennis player who had been fighting liver cancer since retiring from the game, died Sunday. She was 30.

The former British No. 1 died peacefully surrounded by family and friends, the Women's Tennis Association said on its website. The Kiev-born Baltacha, who represented Britain at the 2012 London Olympics, was diagnosed with the illness in January, two months after retiring from tennis and only weeks after she married her long-time coach Nino Severino.

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid both slipped up in the Spanish league on Sunday to tighten a compelling title race even further.

Atletico's march toward its first title since 1996 hit a bump when it lost 2-0 at Levante, although its city rival failed to make up much ground as Madrid needed a spectacular injury-time equalizer from Cristiano Ronaldo to salvage a 2-2 draw at home against Valencia.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. was all smiles as he headed up an escalator with his large entourage, turning to flash a thumbs-up at fans greeting him.

Jose Mourinho accepted Chelsea's Premier League faint title hopes had been extinguished by a 0-0 draw against Norwich on Sunday, with the manager bemoaning the team's laziness and misfiring strikers as his first season back in charge ends with a whimper.

Neither striker Demba Ba nor Fernando Torres came close to scoring as Chelsea was left unsuccessfully appealing for penalties in this drab penultimate game of the season.

World number one Rafael Nadal heads into the Madrid Masters this week in the unusual position of searching for his first title on the European clay this season.

Juventus turn their focus back on securing a third consecutive Serie A title this weekend only days after a painful exit from the Europa League semis at the hands of Benfica.

Elsewhere, AC Milan host Inter in the city derby with Europa League places, and plenty of pride, at stake while Catania, Livorno, Bologna and Sassuolo continue their quest to beat the drop.

Manuel Pellegrini expects the surge of adrenaline from regaining control of the title race will carry Manchester City to the Premier League crown.

Pellegrini's side have the destiny of the title back in their hands after leaders Liverpool suffered an unexpected home defeat against Chelsea last Sunday.

Brazil legend Pele said Friday that outrage at the throwing of a banana toward compatriot and Barcelona defender Dani Alves was a social media storm in a tea cup.

Alves ate the fruit thrown on the pitch near him during a match at Villarreal and the host club banned the culprit who lobbed it for life, while the “twittersphere” buzzed with acclaim for the player's cool reaction.
