Carlos Alcaraz is Turning Heads After French Open Announcement
Carlos Alcaraz is Turning Heads After French Open Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There's a reason Carlos Alcaraz is gaining popularity as the "Prince of Clay" — a nickname widely seen as a sign that he's following the "King of Clay," Rafael Nadal, as the next Spanish conqueror of the tennis clay surface. Advertisement On Sunday, Alcaraz beat American star Ben Shelton in a thrilling four-set affair, 7-6(8), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. It wasn't an easy match for the No. 2 seed, who had a hard time countering Shelton's precise shots and cross-court returns. In fact, during the second set, Shelton delivered a strong return that Alcaraz appeared to send back and got a point for. However, the World No. 2 approached the umpire and admitted that he wasn't holding his racket when it made contact with the ball — which is not allowed. Shelton was awarded the point, while Alcaraz earned the respect of the Roland-Garros crowd for his class and sportsmanship. Still, it further highlighted how Shelton made things difficult for Alcaraz with his hard-to-reach shots. At the end of the day, though, Alcaraz fended off Shelton and booked a ticket to the French Open quarterfinal. Advertisement Furthermore, according to Roland-Garros, the win marked Alcaraz's 100th victory on clay surface, sparking excitement among fans. "New clay-level unlocked," Roland-Garros' Instagram wrote, along with an edited photo of Alcaraz while showing his milestone mark. "Carlitos the prince of clay," a commenter wrote. Another one said, "A giant of talent, athleticism, and sportsmanship. An example of what a real champion is." "Scary fact for the rest of the locker room: There's more to come," a fan stated. A supporter remarked, "The prince of clay! He will dominate the clay season. Hope he will be healthy all throughout years. Vamos Alcaraz." Advertisement "Great potential to build his own legacy on clay," a follower shared. A sixth poster added, "Carlos is physically fit, hardworker, and has mental perseverance, consistency, better conditioning and mobility. He's on [fire]."

How Depinder Chhibber Is Using MasterChef Australia To Shift Stereotypes Around Indian Foods
Depinder Chhibber is having a dream run on MasterChef Australia 2025, with a bunch of wins under her belt and one of the most talked about dishes so far: her traditional Indian street food dish, Raj Kachori. In the West, there can be a stigma rooted in racism surrounding South Asian food, where the cuisine is associated with words like 'cheap' and 'simple'. Compare that to French or Italian cuisine, often considered 'elevated' and 'expensive'. This type of thinking is a 'sore spot' for Chhibber, because not only is her identity tied directly to Indian food, but she also tells Refinery29 Australia that people often don't understand how 'technical' traditional Indian recipes are. 'When I make Indian food, I know how much technicality is involved in the recipes that I'm using, which is probably the same, if not more than a French recipe, I would say,' she explains. '[I've] always said that we need to respect the local artisans, the local street food vendors, because they've been doing this for generations… when I go to Delhi, I go to the ones that have been there for like, over 100 years. These local artisans have had recipes passed down for generations and have spent years perfecting their skills. "The way they do it, they just make it look so easy. But you try and do that at home, and it's impossible to get right,' she adds. With Chhibber's Raj Kachori dish, she specifically created the street food version rather than a fancy deconstructed version, because she wanted it to be authentic. Part of her mission on MasterChef Australia is to educate Aussies about Indian food, because she believes these racist stereotypes can sometimes come down to 'lack of awareness'. 'I feel like it's my job to make everyone aware of the dishes that I know and do the best in the best possible way, if that makes sense. Because I want to go out there, and I want to create these dishes, and I want to show these dishes to the judges, to the world,' she says. ' 'It's not about the price that you pay. It's about what you get, and it's about flavour, and it's about the experience.' ' When Chhibber moved to Newcastle as an 11-year-old, she was impacted by the absence of Indian street food. There was one takeout restaurant that everybody would go to… and that was it. 'That kind of got me really interested in food, especially learning techniques and recipes that normally you wouldn't need to when you were living in India, because you could just go down the street [and buy it],' she recalls. 'I think that [food] became like an identity, kind of like a mission for me to master those and showcase those, which is what I'm aiming to do this season.' The first time Chhibber competed on MasterChef Australia, she didn't expect to have such a reaction from other Indian Australians watching the show. This time around, she's all too aware. 'When I came onto MasterChef [the first time], I was cooking Indian food without realising how much it meant to other people in the community. I honestly didn't realise the importance of that emotion, because I had never felt that before,' she says. ' 'This time around, when I'm making dishes… if I'm tearing up, I know people will be tearing up with me, because they can all feel the same emotion.' ' Her mission to bring Indian food to Australia won't stop at MasterChef Australia, whether she wins or not, because she has big plans for after the show. She's already opened her own supper club called Ghar in Newcastle, and her next step is to publish a cookbook. 'I would love to put all my recipes together, all of the things that I've learned over the last how many years I've been cooking, and I'd love to put them into a cookbook for local people that are intimidated by Indian food,' she says. 'Indian food can be quite intimidating with its flavours, with its spices, the number of ingredients. But you know what? There is an easy way to do everything. 'I think everyone can learn a little bit of spice work. And I think living in Australia, how multicultural we are, I think it's really important to kind of be across a lot of different cuisines if you're a foodie, especially if you like to call yourself a foodie.'

Soap made with Sydney Sweeney's used bathwater exists and now we feel so dirty
OK, which focus group asked for soap made from Sydney Sweeney's dirty bathwater? Because y'all are in trouble. In announcing the limited-edition Sydney's Bathwater Bliss product Thursday, boutique soap company Dr. Squatch said on social media that it exists because 'y'all wouldn't stop asking' for Soap á la Sweeney after the actor did a viral ad for the company last October. 'And Sydney said, 'Let's do it.' ' So whoever 'y'all' is should have to stay up late writing apologies to the rest of us. In cursive. The soap is said to smell like Sweeney's childhood homeland, the Pacific Northwest, so anyone who has a warm and innocent association with that area's pine, Douglas fir and earthy moss essence is likely to have that completely ruined. Of course, if you associate those scents with the parfum de décolleté et de parties féminines— that's some kind of French for the 'scent of cleavage and lady parts' — this soap should make perfect sense. 'Nice humiliation ritual you've got going here,' X user @AzBeto1997 tweeted Friday about the soap, which the company swears includes bathwater that has actually touched Sweeney's naked body. 'Way to demean and diminish your customer base. If it were a joke it'd be funny.' 'Weird and gross. I've enjoyed the pine tar soap for several years now, but this is goodbye. Enjoy your bath water fetishist customers,' user @MarvinOMars wrote. 'I guarantee you most straight men find the Sydney Sweeney soap thing pretty gross,' @UnderstanderArt said. 'She's not appealing to all straight men with it, but a very particular group that I want nothing to do with.' Over on Instagram, comments about the limited run of 5,000 bars of soap, on sale next week, seemed more charitable. One poster said the Dr. Squatch marketing department and Sweeney 'need an award for this. Hilarious and awesome.' 'We're not going to heaven, but this is close enough,' another wrote. 'Never will I be in a greater state of absolute bliss than whilst I use this holy concoction, in the form of a bar of soap, to rub across my body,' wrote a third. Some comments invoked the infamous bathtub scene from 'Saltburn.' Many alluded to masturbation. A lot of them were seriously hilarious. All of them suggested in their own quiet ways that the fall of Western civilization was imminent. So buy the soap, don't buy the soap, we really don't care. Remember, this is the same company that insured Nick Cannon's testicles for $10 million. Irish Spring, here we come. ___ © 2025 Los Angeles Times. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
