World No 1 thrashes surprise quarter-finalist 6-1, 7-5, 6-0Bublik: ‘He’s playing fast. He’s playing smart’Half an hour into his first appearance in a grand slam quarter-final, Alexander Bublik pumped his fist to the sky and smiled widely. The source of the 27-year-old’s joy, however, was not a blazing start to the biggest match of his career or the hope that he could take his run even further. He had simply won his first game.After the jubilation of breaking new ground in Paris, Bublik’s fairytale came to a harsh end as he was picked apart by Jannik Sinner, the world No 1, who continued his march through the French Open draw with another relentless performance and a 6-1, 7-5, 6-0 win.

5 d. ago Joe Root’s greatness is shining anew in the evening of his white

England talisman’s majestic innings against West Indies shows he still has worlds he wants to conquerThe winning moment is perfect. Perfect in concept, in balance, in execution, in placement, in flourish. The ball disappears through mid-on, and before it has even reached the boundary the lid is off and the smile is unsheathed, and for some reason it matters a great deal that the stroke to complete a towering one-day chase of 309 is not a wallop or a swipe, but an artful on-drive for four.But then for all his brilliance, there has always been a pleasingly jarring quality to Root in limited‑overs cricket, even a kind of quiet defiance. His match‑winning 166 against the West Indies on Sunday was perhaps his greatest white-ball innings, but above all it was simply a Joe Root innings, all gentle nudges and classical drives, timing over power, manoeuvrability over muscularity, a triumph of pure talent.

9 d. ago Mountainhead to See How They Run: the seven best films to watch on TV this week

Jesse Armstrong’s hilariously awkward tech bro satire sees Steve Carell and Jason Schwartzman plot world domination, while a starry, Agatha Christie-inspired whodunnit is tons of funIn Jesse Armstrong’s squirmingly funny satire, four tech moguls gather at a retreat called Mountainhead (a wry nod to Ayn Rand’s paean to individualism The Fountainhead). When the launch of a deep-fake tool by Cory Michael Smith’s billionaire Venis plunges the world into financial and social meltdown, he and his alpha male peers – Jeff (Ramy Youssef), Randall (Steve Carell) and their host Souper (Jason Schwartzman) – insouciantly ponder exploiting this “moment of creative destruction” and taking over the world. As in Succession, Armstrong has a keen eye for the supercilious world of the super-rich, where people are expendable and petty grievances can be dressed up as utopianism. Sunday 1 June, 9pm, Sky Atlantic Continue reading...

1 week ago Lead on, Macduff: how the tide turned for Aberdeenshire’s art deco lido

The pavilion at Tarlair lido, on the coast outside Macduff, has reopened after a decade-long restoration campaign. Now swimmers await the whistle to hit the pools againThe vastness of Tarlair lido is hard to comprehend. Just a mile east of the town of Macduff, in Aberdeenshire, the lido’s three bodies of sea water are supplied by a tidal filling system and divided by a concrete wall, slippery with seaweed. The water’s reflection announces a striking mint-and-cream art deco pavilion, and a cinematic sea view. From the pavilion’s roof terrace, where dandelion-coloured tables and chairs are set out, it’s easy to lose a few minutes gazing beyond the salty outcrops to a northerly horizon.Originally commissioned by Macduff town council in 1929, the pavilion and pools – a paddling pool, boating “lake” and swimming pool – were designed by architect John C Miller and opened two years later as one of only three art deco lidos of their kind in Scotland. The site reopened in late March after 30...
