It’s been an eventful 12 months for 16-year-old Iva Jovic. A year ago, this promising Californian spent much of the summer grappling with a stress fracture in her right foot. That injury had kept Jovic out of competition from March to August. At her first tournament back, the 2023 US Open juniors, she’d lost in the first round. But even as Jovic recovered, her focus was unwavering.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

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.

Tennis great Lindsay Davenport has criticised Iga Swiatek, claiming the world No 1 uses bathroom breaks as a tactic to disrupt her opponents. The three-time Grand Slam champion asserted that Swiatek uses the tactic every time she loses a set and labelled it a “bad habit that should be patrolled by the powers that be.”

“It is quite fast here,” Jannik Sinner said, summing up a week’s worth of analysis and commentary from the Cincinnati Open in five short words. Speed was indeed the defining feature and topic of this ATP and WTA 1000 event. The court surface was given a rating of 42 by the tours’ pace rating instruments, up several notches from 2023, and significantly higher than virtually every other event, including Wimbledon. More important, perhaps, Cincy won’t be an outlier in that regard this year: The courts at the US Open are reportedly playing nearly as fast. Which means that what just happened in the flatlands of Ohio could be a preview of what happens over the next few weeks in the concrete jungle of New York.
