MELBOURNE- Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz swept into the third round of the Australian Open in the wake of women's top seed Aryna Sabalenka on Wednesday as the rain returned and Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen bowed out.

MELBOURNE-- Twice champion Naomi Osaka avenged last year's loss to Caroline Garcia at the Australian Open on Monday but admitted it was difficult to focus on the match considering her home is in danger of being burnt down by the wildfires that have devastated Los Angeles.

Osaka, champion in 2019 and 2021, went out in the opening round to Garcia on her return last year following a maternity break, but came out on top 6-3 3-6 6-3 against the Frenchwoman this time around.

Born in Japan, the 27-year-old has lived in the U.S. since childhood and has made LA her home.

"I was watching the fire map and the fire is three blocks from my house," said Osaka, who has an 18-month-old daughter.

"So, I had someone go and get my daughter's birth certificate because I didn't know what would happen if that burned down. Sending all my love to LA.

"It is really difficult for me because I think it's tougher because I find now my home is more of a home because I have memories with my daughter.

"There's so many things, keepsakes and stuff like that. Obviously you can't hoard them all when you're asking them to go to your house and just grab stuff."

Osaka admitted that she did find it difficult to fully concentrate on the match, but said that it could also be a motivating factor going forward.

"Honestly I don't think I've been doing the greatest keeping focus, but obviously I won so I think it's an acceptable job," Osaka said.

"I'm not there, so I don't know how bad it is or how bad it's going to get. But I think the biggest thing that I am grateful for is that everyone in my family is safe.

"I don't feel like it's safe enough to go back there. It's kind of a little bit in a limbo, but also motivating me to hopefully stay here as long as I can."

LONDON-- Chelsea captain Reece James rescued a point for his side with a 95th-minute free kick to snatch a 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Tuesday.

ORCHARD PARK --James Cook rushed for a season-high 120 yards and a touchdown, Josh Allen threw two touchdown passes in the second half and the host Buffalo Bills won in the AFC wild-card round for the fifth straight year, beating the Denver Broncos 31-7 on Sunday in Orchard Park, N.Y.

Allen was 20-for-26 passing for 272 yards and added 46 rushing yards as Buffalo improved to 9-0 at home between regular season and playoffs. The second-seeded Bills will host the third-seeded Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round next weekend.

The seventh-seeded Broncos scored on the game's opening drive, but it was all Buffalo the rest of the way. Running back Ty Johnson (24-yarder) and receiver Curtis Samuel (55) caught long touchdowns to put the game out of reach.

Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix completed 13 of 22 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown. He also guided the rushing attack with 43 yards. Courtland Sutton was the game's leading receiver with five catches for 75 yards.

Tyler Bass made a 27-yard field goal for a 13-7 Bills lead to begin the second half, and Buffalo regained possession after a quick three-and-out.

On fourth-and-1 at Denver's 24, Allen avoided the pass rush and tossed a deep ball to the back of the end zone. Johnson dove to the ground and corralled the pass while staying inbounds, and it was upheld as a touchdown upon review. Allen made it 21-7 by finding Keon Coleman for a two-point conversion.

The Bills piled on with Samuel's touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter. He caught a deep ball near the right sideline, changed direction to get around two defenders and sprinted home.

Buffalo added Bass' third field goal of the day, from 34 yards, with 4:37 to go. The Bills dominated the Broncos in the second half, outgaining them 282-63 after halftime and 471-224 overall.

Denver struck first when Nix connected with his former college teammate Troy Franklin. He hauled in Nix's 43-yard bomb in the end zone just 2:24 into the game.

The Bills settled for a 26-yard field goal on their first possession before traveling 81 yards in 13 plays their next time out. Allen's 9-yard rush on third-and-3 set up Cook for a 5-yard touchdown run on the following play, putting Buffalo ahead early in the second quarter.

Denver punter Riley Dixon completed a 15-yard pass to Marvin Mims Jr. on a fake, but the Broncos' drive still fizzled out. Before halftime, Nix led them 60 yards in 1:52 before Wil Lutz's 50-yard field goal attempt resounded off the right upright as time expired.
