That meant the original French Open dates of May 24 to June 7 looked incompatible with the prospect of hosting the grand slam. Tournament organisers said the clay-court tournament in Paris would instead go ahead from September 20 to October 4. A statement issued by Roland Garros officials said: “The current confinement measures have made it impossible for us to continue with the dates originally planned....

The 46-year-old’s death sparked outrage across the U.S. after several videos emerged of a white police officer kneeling on Floyd’s neck for many minutes while making the arrest. In one of the videos, Floyd can be heard saying he’s unable to breathe, before seemingly losing consciousness. An outspoken critic of social injustice and police brutality, James posted a split picture on Instagram juxtaposing the officer kneeling on Floyd side-by-side with Colin Kaepernick kneeling before an NFL game....

Did the special prosecutor really believe that no one would care if he just walked away? The answer, oddly, may be yes. Friends describe Starr–the son of a Church of Christ minister–as a man absolutely certain of his own moral correctness. That’s how he has managed to justify keeping up a private practice (including representing tobacco companies) while pursuing Whitewater: if he does it, he believes it must be right....

The ceremony itself was a fitting expression of the spin with which American officials have at least managed to persuade some of their friends, and perhaps even themselves, that all is well in Iraq. Officials at the CPA’s Office of Strategic Communications relentlessly depicted the event as proof that the new Iraqi government was doing so well that it was ready for sovereignty two days ahead of schedule. Nonsense: things are going so badly that the American administration felt compelled to mark the historic event with a ceremony that was brief, held in secret, and timed to trick the insurgents into not attacking and marring the television imagery....

Having been a surprise package at Roland Garros, Ostapenko has been very much on the radar in London and she further advanced her claim for a second grand slam title with an impressive 6-3 7-6 (8-6) success. Svitolina, making her maiden appearance in the second week of the grass-court slam, had not dropped a set in her first three matches, but struggled to live with Ostapenko’s bold approach as the narrow underdog took her eighth match point after initially letting a 5-2 second-set lead slip....
