Save that early break, he’s been impressive too, but he needs something quickly to avoid going behind.Khachanov is playing nicely. There’s no complexity about what he’s doing – he’s hitting it well from the back, able to plant his feet while his opponent scurries, and I wonder if Majchrzak might try a few drops – he’s a clay-courter, so should have them is his armoury.

3 h. ago Butler by Salena Zito review – how Trump won America’s heartland

On election day 2024, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin voted for Donald Trump for the second time in three elections. Barack Obama’s upstairs-downstairs coalition lies in ruins, as Democrats struggle to connect with working-class voters across racial and ethnic lines.Last November, Trump came within just three points of winning a majority of Latino voters.

Bomer is tall and striking, in her mid-50s. I met her last year at a reading in Williamsburg, Virginia, where she seemed like someone who cared almost manically about literature and also like someone who would be fun to hang out with, two qualities not always confluent. I had heard of these anxious dogs before, when she and I met for dinner a few months ago, and she disclosed that her life was now spent managing canine neuroses.“I got them when my dad died,” she says, in between offering me matcha, coffee, tequila or wine (it’s 2.30pm on a Sunday; Bomer doesn’t drink any more, save a glass of champagne on selling her book, but doesn’t mind if othe...
