Moutet's underarm serve seals Australian Open first-round win

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Corentin Moutet sliced in an underarm serve on match point and sealed his first-round victory at the Australian Open on Sunday when Tristan Schoolkate floated his forehand return too long.

The crowd at Kia Arena booed loudly but the No. 32-seeded Moutet didn't flinch, later saying he did what he needed to do to complete the 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-3 win.

He said the choice of serve was more instinctual than planned.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Third-seeded Alexander Zverev shrugged off a sluggish start to power through his first-round match against rising star Gabriel Diallo as the Australian Open got underway on Sunday.

Zverev, the runner-up at Melbourne Park last year, slumped in the first set against the 24-year-old Canadian before rallying on the back of his strong serve to win 6-7 (7), 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 on Rod Laver Arena. He's into the second round at Melbourne Park for the 10th straight year.

Somali businesses struggle during the Minneapolis ICE crackdown

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Rows of businesses stood shuttered inside a sprawling complex of Somali businesses on a recent afternoon.
