- Madison Keys’ Australian Open title defence nearly falters as Ukrainian steals the show
Oleksandra Oliynykova made life hard for the American with a vicious concoction of drop shots, slices and moonballs up to the roofFans seated in the upper bowls of the vast Rod Laver Arena are long accustomed to watching tennis from a considerable distance away, but on Tuesday afternoon they enjoyed the rare sight of the tennis ball frequently rising as high as their seats.That is the magic of Oleksandra Oliynykova, who made life hell for Madison Keys in the first match of the American’s Australian Open title defence with a vicious concoction of drop shots, slices and, most notably, moonballs that seemed to graze the stadium roof.

- As Trump menaces Greenland, this much is clear: the free world needs a new plan – and inspired lea...The idea that the liberal rules-based order can survive his presidency now seems complacent. This is a historic moment – and a time to actA European-wide chorus of resistance, led this morning by Keir Starmer, has greeted Donald Trump’s plan to take over Greenland, by force if necessary, and to start a tariff war if any country stands in his way. Have no doubt, this is a moment: if pursued as a non-negotiable demand, Trump’s plan ends any lingering hope that the liberal rules-based order can stumble on through his remaining time in office. The real question now is whether the 2020s will be defined by the complete collapse of the order’s already crumbling pillars and the atrocities accompanying it, or whether an international coalition of the willing can come together to build a new global framework in its place.For, in quick succession, the US has abandoned its longstanding championing… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.47 mins ago
