Defending champion Andy Murray could face top-seeded Novak Djokovic in the semifinals at the U.S. Open, while Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer — who have never played each other at Flushing Meadows — might meet in the quarterfinals.

Murray earned his first Grand Slam championship by beating Djokovic in the 2012 U.S. Open final, then added a second by beating him in the Wimbledon title match last month. But there can't be a rematch in New York in the final, thanks to Thursday's draw.

The Ghana Football Association says AC Milan's Kevin-Prince Boateng has made himself available again for selection in the national team.

Boateng retired from internationals following the 2010 World Cup — where Ghana reached the quarterfinals — and didn't play in the 2012 and 2013 African Cups.

LaShawn Merritt won the men's 400 meters at the DN Galan Diamond League meet on Thursday in his first major race since regaining his world championship title at Moscow last week.

Since the first test-tube baby was born more than three decades ago, in vitro fertilization has evolved into a highly sophisticated lab procedure. Now, scientists are going back to basics and testing a simpler and cheaper method intended mainly for developing countries.

In the West, many would-be parents spend thousands of dollars for IVF, which involves pricey incubators and extensive screening. But European and American scientists say a simplified version of the entire procedure aimed at developing countries could be done for about 200 euros ($265) with generic fertility drugs and basic lab equipment that would fit inside a shoebox.

Google Glass, a spectacle-like computing device drawing lots of attention, can serve as an automated tour guide with the help of a new application from a little-known startup hatched within the Internet's most powerful company.

The app, called "Field Trip," is being released Wednesday by Google-owned Niantic Labs for the 10,000 people currently testing an early model of Glass known as the Explorer edition. It becomes just the ninth app to be approved by Google Inc. for use on Glass during an experimental phase. The device's mass market release is expected early next year.

Big Sean has discovered that in order to find the spotlight, sometimes you have to stay out of it.

The rapper put Miley Cyrus front-and-center in his recent "Fire" music video, with his face seen just briefly in the background. Then he released "Control," featuring an explosively competitive verse from Kendrick Lamar that overshadowed his own and has become the talk of hip-hop. Both are leading up to his second album for Kanye West's GOOD Music imprint, which blends Sean's signature wordplay with some unexpectedly serious introspection.

Josh Duhamel may diss his pregnant wife in his latest film, but in real life, he loves his lady's lumps.

At the Los Angeles premiere for "Scenic Route," the 40-year-old actor said that although the dark and twisted character he portrays in the movie feels that his wife is unattractive, he thinks Fergie has "never been more beautiful."

A photographer who claims he was attacked by Kanye West at Los Angeles International Airport is suing the rapper.

Daniel Ramos is alleging assault, battery, negligence and violation of his civil rights in the lawsuit filed Wednesday.

Ahh, the joys of roughing it in the great outdoors — champagne, high thread-count sheets, flat-screen television. Camping, New York City-style.

At least a couple of city locales are offering this unusual option — the chance to sleep outdoors, incredibly comfortably. It's an urban take on "glamping," where hotel comforts are taken outside.
