A perfect two-from-two on the road in 2025, the Suns have equalled their away wins total from last year, and it is just three rounds into the new season.

    It will go down as one of the great comeback wins in Melbourne United history and it gives them a chance to seal the NBL Championship on their home floor. United trailed by a massive 10 points early in the fourth quarter before clawing their way back to steal game three 83-77 over Illawarra Hawks at the WIN Sports and Entertainment Centre to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five NBL Championship Series.

One of the greatest tennis matches full stop. Carlos Alcaraz was two sets down, saved three Jannik Sinner match points in the fourth and completed a five-and-a-half hour miracle in an epic fifth set. Unbelievable. #FrenchOpen https://t.co/6FAmDxiK1l
