At 45, two years removed from her last grand slam match and ranked No 610 in the world, she will face Karolína Muchová, the Czech 11th seed and 2023 French Open runner-up who has twice reached the semi-finals in New York.If the scale of the task before her is formidable, so too is the symbolism of her presence.

3 w. ago Great Eastern Hotel by Ruchir Joshi review – a panoramic view of India in flux

The political and emotional journey of a young communist revolutionary is brought sensuously to life, in a magnificent epic that took 25 years to writeThe observation by architect Louis Kahn that you “can only really see a building once the building becomes a ruin” runs through this book like the Hooghly river through India’s former capital.
