You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get you caught up.

Venus Williams is heading back to Roland-Garros, and at forty-five years old, she is not done making statements. The American legend will compete in women's doubles at the French Open alongside Hailey Baptiste, twenty-four years her junior. No singles draw for Venus, but her presence on the clay in Paris is a story in itself.

Shifting to a story that carries real weight — Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy has been discharged from a Mississippi hospital following a shooting over the weekend and is now back in Columbia beginning his recovery. The All-American and Doak Walker Award finalist is determined to return to the field this season, and the college football world is firmly in his corner.

And over at Arsenal, the Gunners are ninety minutes, maybe less, away from ending a long Premier League drought. Two wins from their final two matches guarantees the title, but depending on what Manchester City does against Crystal Palace, the red and white ribbons could go on that trophy even sooner. North London is holding its breath.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
