TENNIS

Fabio Fognini ended Rafael Nadal’s long winning streak at the Monte Carlo Masters, stunning the defending champion 6-4, 6-2 on Saturday to reach the final for the first time and hand Nadal his first defeat in Monaco since 2015.

“I played one of my worst matches in 14 years,” Nadal said. “We can talk about technical and tactical things, but on this kind of day things are just not there. It’s difficult to find an explanation.”

Fognini next plays unseeded Dusan Lajovic of Serbia in their first meeting. The 48th-ranked Lajovic staged a remarkable comeback from 5-1 down to beat 10th-seeded Daniil Medvedev, 7-5, 6-1.

SOCCER

PREMIER LEAGUE: Phil Foden scored his first Premier League goal for Manchester City to seal a 1-0 victory over visiting Tottenham that sent Manchester City into first place Saturday.

The third game between the teams in 11 days lacked the energy-sapping drama and tension of their Champions League meeting Wednesday that produced seven goals and saw Tottenham reach the semifinals.

ITALIAN LEAGUE: Cristiano Ronaldo played a key role in the winning goal and Juventus beat Fiorentina 2-1 at Turin, Italy, to clinch a record-extending eighth straight title. It’s the first time in Europe’s five major leagues – Italy, England, Spain, Germany and France – that a club has won eight straight titles.

GERMAN LEAGUE: Bayern Munich extended its lead to four points with a 1-0 win at home over Werder Bremen. Bayern leads with 70 points and has four games left. Second-place Borussia Dortmund, which plays Sunday at Freiburg, has 66 points.

TRACK AND FIELD

CHAMPION BANNED: Asbel Kiprop of Kenya, 29, a former Olympic champion and three-time world champion, received a four-year ban for doping, the Athletics Integrity Unit said.
