How Amy Coney Barrett Is Confounding the Right and the Left - The New York Times

Her apartness shows in her votes and her signature move of joining only slices of her colleagues’ opinions. She agrees with most of the supermajority’s outcomes, but sometimes writes to say they took the wrong route to their conclusion. (One person from the court called her the Hermione Granger of the conservatives, telling the men they’re doing it wrong.)

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…
