Home favourite Alexander Erler and German Andreas Mies enjoyed a perfect week as first-time partners at the Generali Open. But it was far from easy. The Austrian-German duo needed a Match Tie-break in all four of its matches, including a second-round win against top seeds Jamie Murray and Adam Pavlasek. On Saturday, the sixth seeds earned a final 6-3, 3-6, 10-6 victory against fifth seeds Constantin Frantzen and Hendrik Jebens to win the clay ATP 250.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

One of these six spectacular cats may be your next pet

Although this refreshing drink went viral on TikTok last summer, it's been around a lot longer. Yes, you may have noticed, the drink is called lemonade, but it's made with limes. Brazilian lemonade is thought to have originated in Brazil by a street vendor. According to All Recipes, in Brazil, the drink is called limonada Suíça, which translates to Swiss lemonade. The beverage isn't Swiss, but the Swiss company, Nestlé, began selling condensed milk in Brazil in the 1900s, which could be where the drink got its name.
