The global south is increasingly adopting the model that allowed areas like Hong Kong, Dubai and Singapore to emerge as global financial powerhouses. Special economic zones and business-friendly policies can transform nations and bring millions out of poverty, for good. These special economic zones work because they strike at the root cause of cyclical poverty: governance, or the laws, rules and regulations that control how businesses operate.

And as the game got underway, fans behind one of the goals unfurled placards of their own....

Dimitrov, who many considered a dark horse, ahead of this edition of the French Open came unstuck very early in his match against Karlovic. He played a lose service game that ended with a limp backhand into the net to hand Karlovic the break. The 2’08” Croat used the opportunity well to retain the advantage and take the first set. Any hopes that it may have been a small blip were put paid when Karlovic earned another decisive break in the 11th game of the second set before holding to take control of the match....

It’s a good time to be a tennis fan, but not such a good one to be a sucker for nostalgia. So before the glorious memories of the 2013 French Open, of which there are many, are put in the shade by the austere grasscourts of Wimbledon, let’s take a look at the moments and mortals (or maybe even immortals) that, for better or for worse, defined this year’s tournament:...

The 31-year-old playmaker was coming off the back of a stellar year for Nice, in which he had scored 17 goals and directly created six more. He had shown an eye for the spectacular, often cutting through packs of defenders to score goals in a style reminiscent of Lionel Messi. It was thrilling to watch. He may have been snubbed by Deschamps, but his form was sufficient for Paris Saint-Germain to gamble on him as a Bosman signing....

She actively tries to prove that females can be just like men. To some viewers, she is a hero and a role model....

Compared with many of its neighbors, China has hardly felt the AIDS pandemic. As of last fall, the government had recorded only 80 AIDS cases and 2,600 HIV infections among the country’s 1.2 billion people. Even if the true number of infections is closer to 100,000, as health officials suspect, that’s a tiny fraction of Thailand’s estimated 1 million or India’s 4 million. But economic growth, dizzying social change and an unstable blood supply are conspiring to create unprecedented hazards for the world’s most populous nation....

Some were minor controversies that were forgotten soon enough. Banter between players that gets a little heated, an off-hand remark taken out of context, etc are examples of such incidents. Others lingered on in public memory for longer. This includes Nick Kyrgios’ crude comments about his then girlfriend Donna Vekic to Stan Wawrinka, for instance. Serena Williams’ showdown with the umpire during the 2018 US Open final and Novak Djokovic’s default from the 2020 US Open after accidentally hitting a linesperson also dominated the headlines....
