9 h. ago US Open mixed doubles: Draper/Pegula v Alcaraz/Raducanu and more – live

Updates from the opening day action at Flushing MeadowsGet in touch! You can mail Daniel hereWe’re all friends here so we can be honest with each other: I’m not exactly at one with what we’re about to enjoy.Why? Because doubles tennis is a specific skill, nurtured and developed by players relying on it – and a system that’s operated for decades – to make a living. So confiscating a huge competition from them, to hand money to suits and superstars – who do not need it and are, individually and as pairs, less good at the actual sport – doesn’t sit right with me.

Iga Swiatek warmed up seven times before one semi-final while waiting at Wimbledon caused issues for Emma RaducanuThe greatest challenge for Carlos Alcaraz in his third-round match at the Cincinnati Open on Friday was simply remaining sane. Before Alcaraz and Hamad Medjedovic, his opponent, took to the court, they had no choice but to wait as Francisco Comesaña and the big-serving Reilly Opelka worked through a tumultuous three-hour, three-set contest replete with manic momentum shifts, medical time-outs and a last-minute rain delay for good measure. Alcaraz and Medjedovic had no idea when their match would begin, yet a large part of their job is making sure they are always ready.A few hours later, after closing out a straightforward victory, Alcaraz chuckled bitterly from a quiet hallway inside centre court as he reflected on his hours of preparation, which turned out to be more stressful than the match itself. “Well, it sucks,” he said, smiling. “Having to warm up three, four time...

6 d. ago Of course Mark Zuckerberg is still doing good works – he’s just switched up the definition of ‘good’ | Emma Brockes

Who has the time to help underprivileged children when you have a pickleball court and a president to attend to?If you put it in a novel – a ham-fisted satire of tech overlord hypocrisy, say – it would look too contrived to fly. But here we are, absorbing a story from the New York Times this week in which Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are discovered to have been running a private school out of their compound in Palo Alto, California, in violation of city zoning laws. More pertinently, the school of 14 kids, which includes two of the couple’s three daughters, is less than a mile from the school for low-income families that the couple founded in 2016. Guess which school the world’s second-richest man and his wife are shutting down?Say the word “zoning infraction” to a certain stripe of American and the effect is equal to using “queue jumper” on a Briton, but of course the broader point here isn’t one about permits.
