On set point in the second set, Yulia Putintseva fired a forehand winner with such confidence and command that you’d have thought her opponent was utterly overmatched, not fit to be on the same court as the 29-year-old from Kazakhstan. Yet this opponent was Iga Swiatek, the clear-cut No....

Perhaps no player has ever made such a lengthy and distinguished journey from outlier to icon. Nobody ever became a Murray fan because they were smitten by his somewhat herky-jerky, defense-heavy game. Swift as he was, he tended to shuffle and lumber. His style was ragged, a game full of quirks and rough edges. And then there was the perfectionism, and the anger it bred. He frequently heaped scorn on his team in the player-guest box, freaked out on the court howling at an invisible moon.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

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

Iga Swiatek just cannot seem to be as great at Wimbledon as she can seemingly everywhere else. She is the top-ranked player on the WTA tour and probably is going to stay that way for many years to come. She is a fantastic player, but she is not a great grass-court player. Three times since 2019, the Pole has been knocked out of the grass-court major by the third round.
