Naomi Osaka has had quite the year. She has played in 14 tournaments and in five of them, she lost her first match. Yet, she has also flashed the kind of form that allowed her to win a total of four Grand Slams earlier in her career. While she lost in the second round of the French Open, she played one of the best matches anyone has over the last five years against Iga Swiatek at Roland Garros.

Iga Swiatek's Olympic effort didn't end how most expected it to, but the world No. 1 says something positive will come from it all the same. Swiatek penned an emotional debrief in the aftermath of her Paris campaign, where she rebounded from a stunning upset at the hands of eventual gold medalist Zheng Qinwen to capture a bronze medal, on her social media channels this week in which the 23-year-old promised that personal growth will come from her latest "chapter"—one that was full of a wide range of emotions.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
