On Wednesday, Matteo Berrettini will take on Holger Rune at the Cincinnati Open. This will be an interesting clash of styles. The 2021 Wimbledon finalist has a very straightforward approach. He is looking to easily put away his service games, while hoping his opponents give him a chance to break by tighening up. Even when looking at his baseline play, Berrettini slices his backhand until he is given an opportunity to drop the hammer from the forehand side. There’s very little improvisation. However, Rune is a player with a world of variety, and it feels like he doesn’t quite know the best way to win matches. That small difference in approach should give Berrettini an edge in this Masters 1000 tilt.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.
