New York — Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, who joined with brother-in-law Bret Hart to form one of the top tag teams in the 1980s with the WWE, has died. He was 63.

The Pasco Sheriff’s Office said Neidhart fell at home, hit his head and “succumbed to his injury” on Monday in Wesley Chapel, Fla. No foul play was suspected.

Neidhart’s daughter, known as Natalya, wrestles for the WWE and is a former women’s champion. Neidhart made appearances with his daughter on the WWE reality series Total Divas.

“My dad was always a fighter,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

Neidhart, Bret “Hitman” Hart and manager Jimmy “The Mouth of the South” Hart made up the Hart Foundation stable in the 1980s and 1990s, and the tag team won two WWE championships.

Neidhart married Bret Hart’s sister, Ellie, and became part of the famed family wrestling dynasty in Canada.

Serena Wins, Murray Out in Ohio

Mason, Ohio — Serena Williams bounced back from the most lopsided loss of her career, cruising past Darla Gavrilova, 6-1, 6-2, at the Western & Southern Open on Monday.

Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam winner and a former champion in Cincinnati, needed just 65 minutes to dispatch Gavrilova. She’ll face eighth-seeded Petra Kvitova in today’s second round.

Williams lost to Johanna Konta, 6-1, 6-0, in San Jose, Calif., before withdrawing from last week’s Rogers Cup in Montreal.

Earlier on Monday, Andy Murray lost to Lucas Pouille, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4, clearing another obstacle for Roger Federer in this U.S. Open tuneup.

Top-seeded Rafael Nadal dropped out on Sunday night to prepare for the U.S. Open after winning his fifth title of the year in Toronto.

Texans Donate Turf To Harvey-Hit School

Houston — A high school hit hard by Hurricane Harvey is getting a new playing surface thanks to the Houston Texans.

The Texans said on Monday that they’re donating the turf they played on at NRG Stadium last season to C.E. King High School after its field was destroyed in flooding from Harvey, which hit the area last August.

Students at the high school had to attend classes in an elementary school last year because of damage from the flooding, and much of the team’s equipment and facilities were lost.

Almost a year later, the team is excited about a fresh start this season on its fancy albeit gently used turf.

“These guys have really come through that struggle really well,” Fitzhenry said. “A lot of that stuff is behind us now and we’re excited for this year.”

Before Watt spent time with the guys, several other players stopped by to chat with them on their way off the field after practice. Linebacker Benardrick McKinney encouraged them to work hard and wished them luck on their season. Safety Tyrann Mathieu smiled broadly as he autographed miniature helmets for the players.

“Any time we can reach out to the high schools and help them out in the ways that we do — we do a great job headed by (Texans president) Jamey Rootes and his crew,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said. “They do a great job with community relations and I think the high school football is a big part of that.”
