MALAGA, Spain (AP) — The last man to face — and beat — Rafael Nadal in professional tennis, 80th-ranked Botic van de Zandschulp , converted his 10th match point Friday to finally close out a 6-4, 6-7 (12), 6-3 victory over Daniel Altmaier and help the Netherlands reach its first Davis Cup final by sweeping Germany. Tallon Griekspoor, who is ranked 40th, sealed the 2-0 win for the Dutch in the best-of-three-match semifinal by hitting 25 aces and coming back to defeat Jan-Lennard Struff 6-7 (4), 7-5, 6-4. When it ended, appropriately, on an ace, Griekspoor shut his eyes, dropped to his knees and spread his arms wide.

FRANKFURT, Germany — Germany’s technology and services company Bosch said Friday it planned to reduce its automotive division workforce by as many as 5,500 jobs in the next several years in another sign of the headwinds hitting the German and global auto industries. The company cited stagnating global auto sales, too much factory capacity in the auto industry compared with sales prospects and a slower than expected transition to electric-powered, software-controlled vehicles. The news comes two days after Ford Motor Co. announced plans to drop 4,000 jobs in Europe, and with Volkswagen employees threatening work stoppages over what they say management has told them are plans to close as many as three factories in Germany. Revenue at Stellantis, created through the 2021 merger of PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, tumbled 27% in its most recent quarter that ended this fall. Auto sales have slowed this year in Europe as consumers stung by inflation hold back on spending, while automakers have sunk billions into developing electric cars only to see slower sales than expected and new competition from cheaper Chinese brands. The German government abruptly cancelled purchase incentives at the end of last year, sending electric vehicles sales in that country down by 27% over the first nine months of this year.

About half those job reductions would be at locations in Germany. “The auto industry has significant overcapacities,” the company said in a statement. “In addition, the market for future technologies is not developing as originally expected ... At the moment, many projects in this business area are being put off or abandoned by automakers.” In addition, 750 jobs would be lost at a plant in Hildesheim, Germany by end 2032, 600 of those by the end of 2026. A plant in Schwaebisch Gmund would lose some 1,300 over between 2027 and 2030. Related Story: Socially Responsible Approach to Job Cuts The reductions are still in the planning stage and final numbers would have to be agreed with employee representatives and carried out in what the company said would be a socially responsible way. While automakers put their names on the cars they sell, most of the car is actually made by a series of suppliers Some 230,000 people work for Bosch’s mobility division, out of a global workforce of 429,000. In addition to its business as an auto industry technology supplier Bosch makes factory and building equipment and software across a range of products including industrial boilers and waste-heat recovery systems, video security systems, and power tools.President-elect Donald Trump’s Truth Social has gained a new user: Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.). Fetterman joined the social media platform in November, according to his profile, making him one of a handful of prominent Democrats to take the plunge. Publishing his first “truth” on Dec. 10, the senator took aim at what he characterized as two cases of weaponized justice. “The Trump hush money and Hunter Biden cases were both [expletive], and pardons are appropriate,” Fetterman wrote. “Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division.” President Joe Biden took heat from both the right and left over his recent decision to pardon his son for federal tax and gun crimes. Fetterman, however, has publicly defended the move and the president’s claims that his son was politically targeted. The senator has also recently denounced Trump’s conviction in New York on falsification of business records charges as another case driven by politics. But that position appears to mark a departure from comments Fetterman made earlier this year criticizing Trump amid the trial. Fetterman’s turnabout on the case was welcomed on Truth Social, where his post received more than 10,000 likes and several appreciative replies. “While I disagree that Hunter and Trump’s cases are equally political, I applaud you for recognizing Trump’s prosecutions were illegitimate,” one user wrote. “If more of your Democrat colleagues were willing to dissent from party opinion, Congress would be more respected in general.” Others echoed that sentiment, challenging Fetterman’s conclusions about Hunter Biden’s prosecution but praising his willingness to engage with those across the aisle. Trump launched Truth Social in 2022 after he was banned from other major social media platforms following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach. The application was designed as an alternative to Twitter, now X, and operates in a similar fashion. Although Truth Social’s user base is largely conservative, Fetterman is not the first prominent Democrat to join the platform. California Gov. Gavin Newsom boasts a following of 251,000 on the website, and Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign maintained an active presence there up until the November election.
Justin Herbert now has the most passing yards by any NFL quarterback through their first five years of their careers, surpassing Peyton Manning on Saturday afternoon. Herbert passed Manning’s mark of 20,618 yards, doing so in the first half of the Los Angeles Chargers ' penultimate game of the season against the New England Patriots , as Herbert helped them to a 20-7 lead at the half. The Chargers went on to dominate against their AFC opponents, winning by 40-7 with the quarterback throwing for three touchdowns and 281 yards with no interceptions. The statistic might be a surprising one for fans to hear, with Herbert not putting up big numbers over the last few years while being in a number of conservative offenses - with their current playbook under Greg Roman seemingly being very run heavy. Greg Gumbel dead at 78 as sports fans pay tribute to legendary broadcaster Tom Brady has telling reaction to Michael Strahan's FOX NFL Sunday message But Herbert has been able to be efficient once again this season while throwing 21 touchdowns to just three interceptions on the way to breaking the record through his first five years. When asked about his first thoughts in breaking the record, Herbert was quick to praise his teammates, stating: "I think it says so much about the guys we've had catching those passes. We've had a great offensive line letting me get the ball off, and guys like this getting me the ball back." The Chargers have had difficulties at both offensive line and wide receiver over the last few years, having lost both of their starting receivers in Keenan Allen and Mike Williams this past offseason. But Herbert has been able to get the best out of rookie Ladd McConkey, with Harbaugh helping the team have an impressive draft class in his first year as head coach. The Chargers' win takes them to a 10-6 record and assuring themselves of a wildcard spot in the playoffs. The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs have clinched the AFC West for the ninth straight year and have locked up the number one seed in the AFC with a game to spare. Harbaugh will lead the Chargers to an impressive winning season in his first year back in the NFL for a decade, with the organization looking to be heading in the right direction with the talented quarterback set to enter his prime years. **Want to watch more live sports?

Pedro escaped punishment after swinging an arm at Bees substitute substitute Yehor Yarmoliuk without making contact. VAR reviewed the second-half incident but deemed there was no violent conduct. Frank and Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler disagreed about the decision. “As I understand the rules, you can’t swing your arm to try to hit someone,” said Frank. “If you hit them or not, it’s a red, that’s the way I understand the rules.” Frank spoke to the match officials, including referee Andy Madley, about the flashpoint at full-time. “They haven’t seen the situation yet, not on TV afterwards,” said Frank. “To be fair to him, I think the angle can be tricky so that’s why you’ve got VAR.” Asked about Frank’s assessment, Hurzeler replied: “Interesting opinion. I see it completely different. “For me, it’s not a red card. He tried to get free from a person.” Brighton were booed off after their winless run was stretched to six top-flight games. Albion dominated for large periods and hit the woodwork inside four minutes through Julio Enciso. Bees goalkeeper Mark Flekken made some important saves before being forced off injured in the 36th minute, albeit his replacement Hakon Valdimarsson was rarely tested on his Premier League debut. The Seagulls remain 10th ahead of Monday’s trip to Aston Villa, with Brentford a position and two points below moving towards their New Year’s Day showdown with Arsenal. Hurzeler thought the jeers at full-time were unfair. “The team doesn’t deserve that because in all the games we had in the last weeks they were all good, they were all intense, they were all where we thought we deserved more” said the German, whose team have lost to Fulham and Crystal Palace and drawn with Southampton, Leicester and West Ham in recent matches. “We try to work hard to satisfy our supporters, we try to give them what they deserve, we try to make them proud. “But the Premier League is tough. We know there will be (tough) periods we have to go through, especially with this young squad. “We try to stick together, find the positive and keep on going.” Brentford, who remain without a top-flight away win this term, had an early Yoane Wissa finish ruled out for offside following VAR intervention but barely threatened, despite an improved second-half showing. Frank, who is awaiting news on Flekken and defender Ben Mee, who also left the field injured, said: “I thought it was a fair point. “Brighton were better in the first half, no big, clearcut chances, and I thought we were better second half. “Overall, I’m happy with the performance, especially the way we defended. “We haven’t had too many clean sheets this season, so in that context I thought it was very impressive against a good Brighton team. “We know we have a lot of players out – we get two more injuries during the game. “The way the players showed their mentality and character and dug in was hugely impressive.”
Record numbers of basketball fans filled arenas to watch the rookie seasons of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese unfoldPITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington was minding his own business during practice recently, doing his due diligence while running his route when the ball suddenly came his way. Washington wasn't sure what option he was on the play. he certainly wasn't first. Probably not even second. Maybe not even third. Washington was on the back side all by his lonesome while a sea of wide receivers and running backs zig-zagged across quarterback Russell Wilson's field of vision.
