“Jannik is a good friend, someone I’m definitely close to,” Draper says of Sinner. “We send each other messages in good moments, bad moments.”. Will their transnational friendship affect how the Brit and the Italian compete against each other? We don’t have much head-to-head evidence to go on yet. They’ve played just once, on grass at Queen’s Club in 2021, and Draper won in two tiebreakers.

US Open Men's Semifinal Previews: Taylor Fritz and his execution or Frances Tiafoe and his energy?

In a rematch of their five-set Wimbledon quarterfinal, Daniil Medvedev will take on world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the US Open quarterfinals. Medvedev emerged victorious in that battle at the All England Club, snapping a five-match losing streak against the Italian—and I like the Russian’s chances of winning two in a row. But I’m going the safer route and playing Medvedev +5.5 games.

Actor Van Johnson, who died in 2007, was one of Hollywood's ideal films idols. In the 1940s, the charming screen icon was box office gold, and remained a popular presence on TV in shows like Murder, She Wrote (which starred his good friend Angela Lansbury).

It's been 35 years since the original Baywatch TV series premiered on NBC in the 1989-1990 season. One year later, it was syndicated and became one of the most popular TV shows on the planet. The show's original cast included David Hasselhoff, who stayed with the series through its entire run. During that time, he was joined by other actors, including (but not limited to) Pamela Anderson, Alexandra Paul, and Jason Simmon. At the time, Simmons, who is gay, was in the closet.

[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.

We’re guaranteed an American finalist in the 2024 US Open. Who will it be?. Frances Tiafoe deserves a ton of credit for knocking off players like Ben Shelton, Alexei Popyrin and Grigor Dimitrov, but looks like a cakewalk compared to what Fritz has dealt with in Flushing Meadows. He had to face an in-form Matteo Berrettini in the second round (won in straight sets), three-time Grand Slam finalist Casper Ruud in the round of 16 (won 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2), and Alexander Zverev, who has been as good as anyone all throughout 2024 (won 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3)).
