Tennis Was Supposed to Get Boring. Nobody Told Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. - WSJ

How close was Sinner to winning Sunday? Let me put it this way: with three match points in the fourth set, I was so certain he was going to do it, I began pestering my Paris-side Journal colleague Joshua Robinson over whether or not Sinner now had a shot at next winning Wimbledon—and the U.S. Open—to complete a calendar Grand Slam, becoming the first since Rocket Rod Laver to achieve that crazytown feat. 

After winning at Roland-Garros, Sinner, his game soaring, would roll into Wimbledon with maximum confidence…and he’d won the U.S. Open final just last year…

Then Alcaraz woke up.

Better that they believe it came from Andromeda.

Trump Orders Investigation of Biden and His Aides - The New York Times

President Trump ordered his White House counsel and the attorney general on Wednesday to investigate former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his staff in Mr. Trump’s latest attempt to stoke outlandish conspiracy theories about his predecessor.

Trump plays the opening move. It’ll be a long chess match. And, the New York Times is wrong. Something very bad was happening in the White House during the last few months of the Biden Presidency. It’s time for a full accounting.
