Syracuse, N.Y. – As Frank Anselem went to the free-throw line with Syracuse trailing Indiana by four points in the second overtime period in Tuesday night's game, the freshman center felt little pressure.

Because he didn't know the score. Or at least, he tried to put the 101-97 deficit out of his mind.

Tennis at the Olympic Games has delivered us some of the most incredible scenes in the sport's history. Whether on clay in Barcelona, grass in London or hard courts elsewhere, these moments have inspired fans and forever changed the players who created them, making them national heroes and often altering the course of their careers. Who could forget Justine Henin's comeback from 5-1 down in the semifinals against Anastasia Myskina, on her way to gold in Athens? Or Russia's domination of the women's singles medal podium in Beijing 2008, led by Elena Dementieva? Or Juan Martin del Potro's epic run to the Rio 2016 final, including wins over Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal? Those are just some of the iconic moments that have unfolded since tennis returned to the Summer Games in 1988 after a 64-year absence.  And here are the 10 that have stayed with us most.

Winning the top scorer award in the star-studded Premier League is a tough enough proposition, but it's about to get even tougher in 2022/23. The top clubs are not standing pat when it comes to adding elite forward talent during the summer transfer window.  Last season, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Tottenham's Son Heung-min were engaged in a fascinating race for the golden boot that went down to the final day of the season.
