Demon Gets It Done

After starting his ATP Finals career with 5 straight losses, Alex de Minaur gets on the board with an upset win over Taylor Fritz in Turin, 7-6³, 6-3.

Now 1-2, the Aussie can still make it to the semifinals depending on the result of Carlos Alcaraz vs. Lorenzi Musetti.

8 consecutive wins in a row over Shelton for Jannik Sinner. Wins this one 6-3, 7-6 to sweep the group.

Every match except Paris had a tiebreak, but all 8 in straight sets.

Carlos Alcaraz wins 6-4, 6-1 against Lorenzo Musetti

Entertaining opening set with the crowd lifting Musetti, but this one was over once Alcaraz broke in the 2nd. Alcaraz is the group winner and the Year-End #1 for the 2nd time. De Minaur Qualifies for SFs.

ATP Finals Standings:

Alcaraz topped the group and because of the H2H result of De Minaur over Fritz, he moved into the Semifinals. Musetti being worse on sets took him out of contention.

Turin QF:

Alexander Zverev vs Felix Auger-Aliassime
Prediction: Auger-Aliassime in 3

I expect this to be close and Zverev has played very nervy in tight moments this week, but should be a fun one, Zverev has overall played well this week, just not in the key moments.

New research highlighted by AFP: DNA tests on Hitler’s blood point to Kallmann Syndrome, which means he also had a micro-penis.

Maybe there’s something in the tiny dick-fascism crossover, idk, just spitballing.

Trump would never have been elected if so many Americans cared about sexual assault. His voters knew his history and elected him anyway. They listened to him say he grabbed women by the p*ssy.

100% right. There is so much about this whole BBC saga that is simply mad but Lewis is right that the Corporation now has the chance to take a stand for something important. It should take that opportunity.
Have written for the New Statesman about why, if he will not accept an apology, the BBC should welcome a Trump lawsuit. They should show guts and fight it because impartially matters and if they don't, they will have tacitly accepted a rewritten history.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.
