Alexander Bublik keeps rolling at French Open
Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik continued his winning run at the French Open by defeating Great Britain's Jack Draper 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 on Court Suzanne Lenglen at Roland-Garros on Monday. When Bublik was asked after the match what he thought the key was to his victory, he wasn't completely sure. 'I don't know, to be honest. I left it all out there. You know, I have certain skill set to play tennis, and it worked marvellously today. '100% one of the best days of my life and one of the best matches I have ever played in my life. That was as simple as that.' Bublik's results this year on clay are better than all his previous three years' results combined. He was asked what he think has changed. 'Maybe this is the first year I haven't complained about playing on clay, as I don't have a lot of options because I was dropping a lot in the rankings.' Bublik was up front when talking about his philosophy of how he lives his life. 'I still do the exact minimum and maximum at the same time in order to be the player I am, to be in the position I am, and I will continue with this path, because I think I prioritise tennis and the life in equal ways.' 'So, for me it's a 50/50 relationship. So, it's not like tennis takes 90, and then it's okay. If I can't walk at the age of 40, it's okay. No, it's not. So, for me it's finding the balance.' Bublik values being healthy over possibly compromising his health by pushing his body beyond its limits. 'It's doing necessarily what I have to do in order to be able to compete against the top of the game, which I showcased every season I played in the past six, seven years, but will I put my health on the line? No.' Bublik outlined that he is willing to work hard but with a balanced approach. 'There is no way around hard work. Don't get me wrong. I work hard, but on my terms, you know. I do what I'm capable of doing with my body, but I will not push through a knee injury in order to have, you know, a certain chance to win a certain match. So, for me, there is no way around hard work.' Apart from prioritising his health, Bublik also prioritises his family. 'But as I said, I prioritise the health and my lifestyle, as well, because I have a family and I'm a father, and I have to do the father duties. This is a 50/50 balance.' It appears that Bublik's authentic nature is beginning to win over more and more fans at this year's French Open. There is more to Bublik than meets the eye. Next up for Bublik is a quarter-final clash against world No 1 Jannik Sinner on Wednesday.

Huggers target students in Hatfield
A TikTok video released by the Hatfield Community Intervention Desk (CID) has sparked concern among students after it warned of a new trend where criminals are stealing phones by hugging unsuspecting victims. This comes after another video circulated on social media, showing a man embracing a young woman at a fast food outlet in Hatfield, only to slip her phone out of her possession during the hug. INCIDENT CAUGHT ON CCTV IN HATFIELD PRETORIA Please assist us in identifying the suspect seen on the video stealing a cellphone. — CrimeInSA (@sa_crime) May 14, 2025 CID Hatfield head of security, Deon van Rensburg, confirmed a spike in incidents involving students, particularly around clubs, restaurants, and other night-time hotspots. 'Criminals are now using hugs as a distraction technique,' he said. 'When you're hugged by a stranger, make sure to keep your valuables safe – especially your phone, watch and wallet.' Van Rensburg added that offenders often linger outside fast food joints and nightlife venues, waiting for the right moment to strike. He urged students and young adults to avoid physical contact with strangers and report any suspicious behaviour immediately. Hatfield, known for its dense student population due to its proximity to the University of Pretoria, falls under the jurisdiction of the Brooklyn police precinct. The station is currently grappling with high crime rates. According to the latest crime statistics for the fourth quarter of the 2024/25 financial year, released by Police Minister Senzo Mchunu on May 23, Brooklyn remains one of the country's worst-hit areas for several categories of crime. The precinct, which covers 28 suburbs including Hatfield, Brooklyn, Lynnwood North, Hazelwood, Menlo Park, and Waterkloof, was ranked: – 5th nationally for property-related crimes – 6th for commercial crimes – 8th for common robbery – 9th for serious crime overall – 10th for 'theft not otherwise specified' – 20th for non-residential burglaries – 23rd for the overall category of community-reported crimes. While the national report noted a slight dip in motor vehicle and motorcycle thefts during the last quarter, Brooklyn continues to lead the country in these categories. The area's crime complexity is amplified by its mix of high-density student residences, shopping centres, sporting venues, bars, and academic institutions, all creating opportunities for opportunistic criminals. Residents and students are advised to remain alert, especially when moving through busy areas or socialising in public spaces. Do you have more information about the story?
