Next faces the unseeded American Jenson Brooksby
Jannik Sinner is not making it easy for himself this year. Matches he would have expected to sprint through here have become mini-marathons and there is the small matter of another Âheatwave arriving in London this weekend, which, as we saw in Paris, is his kryptonite.
More worrying, as Sinner Âadmitted after reaching the last 32 with a 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-4 victory over the world No 48, Nuno Borges, his game is still falling short. The forensic analysis started when the Italian was asked whether his forehand was as good as it could be.

A man has been found guilty of attempting to murder three children during a stabbing attack in Dublin in 2023, a crime that horrified Ireland and triggered a riot in the capital.
A jury at the central criminal court on Wednesday also found Riad Bouchaker, 52, guilty of assault causing serious harm to a childcare worker, Leanne Flynn, and of assaulting two other children and a teenager.

MEPs have warned Albania that EU accession talks are at risk if the government does not “change course” over plans for a luxury resort backed by Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Tineke Strik, the Dutch MEP heading a European parliament fact-finding mission to the Balkan nation, said Albania’s leadership was “playing with fire” by pursuing the €1.4bn (£1.2bn) real-estate venture that would, she said, wreak havoc on virgin coastline.

A controversial Harvard University cosmologist who has suggested alien lifeforms could be sailing into the solar system disguised as meteors is leading the Trump administration’s secretive new scientific advisory panel on security risks posed by UFOs.
Avi Loeb and his hand-picked committee have already begun looking into the origins of mysterious flying craft, now known as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and last month asked the Pentagon for dozens of videos, images and documents of reported encounters and incidents, the Associated Press reports.

De twee zware aardbevingen van vorige week donderdag zorgden voor veel verwoesting in het noorden van Venezuela. Vooral de kustplaats La Guaira is zwaar getroffen.
Volgens satellietbeelden van de NASA zijn meer dan 50.000 gebouwen verwoest of beschadigd. Daardoor zijn tienduizenden mensen dakloos geraakt.
DEN HAAG (ANP) - De overheden die betrokken zijn bij de Rotterdamse haven werken aan maatregelen om vier Natura 2000-gebieden rond het omvangrijke industriegebied te laten herstellen. Dat is nodig om te zorgen dat weer vergunningen kunnen worden gegeven voor projecten in de haven. De vergunningverlening ligt zo goed als stil sinds een uitspraak van de Raad van State, eind 2024, waardoor het 'schuiven' met stikstofruimte nagenoeg onmogelijk is geworden.
De beoogde verduurzaming van de havenindustrie loopt daardoor vertraging op. De betrokken partijen wachten nog op de 50 miljoen euro die het vorige kabinet heeft beloofd om de maatregelen te financieren.
Het ministerie van Landbouw en Natuur zegt dat het kabinet "voornemens" is om een financiële bijdrage te doen. Dat geld moet komen uit het 'impulsbudget' van 500 miljoen euro dat LVVN-minister Jaimi van Essen afgelopen vrijdag, bij de presentatie van zijn stikstofaanpak, aankondigde.

A graphic of a floppy disk hamburger was created on an early Amiga computer, photographed, and then deleted (more specifically, it couldn’t be saved). Stuart Brown set out to recreate this image as accurately as possible, including colors, dimensions, etc. This is deliciously nerdy. Here’s the resulting image (with some horizontal padding I added):
