Serena Williams Withdraws from Italian Open, Mariners' Paxton Throws a No-Hitter and Raptors' Casey Voted Coach of the Year by Peers

The Associated Press reports that Serena Williams has withdrawn from the Italian Open next week. Williams, who will be replaced by Catherine Bellis for the tournament, "returned to the tour briefly this year after a 14-month absence to give birth to her daughter." The AP reports that Williams that this withdrawal, coupled with her withdrawal from the Madrid Open makes other matches uncertain:

"The 23-time Grand Slam champion also withdrew from this week's Madrid Open and sitting out Rome puts her status for the French Open, which starts May 27, in doubt.

Williams, a four-time Italian Open champion, has not played since her a first-round loss to Naomi Osaka in March at the Miami Open."

James Paxton, the Seattle Mariners' starting pitcher, threw a no-hitter in Toronto against the Blue Jays, becoming the first Canadian to do so on his native soil. Winning 5-0 and throwing just 99 pitches, NBC Sports quotes Paxton:

"Of all places, here in Toronto, it's pretty amazing. The fans were giving me some trouble in the seventh inning, but once I got past that they started kind of cheering me on. It was cool."

Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey has been voted coach of the year 2017-2018 by the National Basketball Coaches Association (NBCA). Introduced last year, the award is distinct from the league's coach of the year award, as Sportsnet reports:

"Not to be confused with the NBA's coach of the year award, this award is voted on by Casey's coaching peers and is separate from the official award, which is decided by selected members of the media."
