Treble Hunter - Carlos Alcaraz begins quest to join elite club to win three years on the bounce
Carlos Alcaraz of Spain (Photo by) London: The eyes of the attention economy are where Carlos Alcaraz would like them — peeled on him. Some 5000 air miles from SW19, where The Championships get underway on a blazing-hot Monday, an emigration officer at the Kempegowda International Airport jumped out of his seat at the mention of Wimbledon . 'Alcaraz again?' the official, a bright-eyed millennial, asked of the Spaniard's After his triumph at Roland Garros three weeks ago, or the fact that the 22-year-old comes into the Church Road major as the defending champion? Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The two-time winner is looking for a third crown that'll make him the fifth man in the Open Era to win three consecutive titles. Alcaraz, whose list of sponsors reads like the inventory of the aspirational, has a game and attitude tailored for instant recall. It's hard to pick between his breathtaking drop shots, struck with a whisper of a touch and his daredevilry, especially when the odds are stacked against him. Shubman Gill's captaincy debut wins praise: Gambhir, Kotak & Jaiswal react! He has such a staggering range, it's almost obscene. He smiles on a match court, applauds opponents, overrules lines and gives points to the man down the other end like he was returning a social call. In an era of wavering attention spans, the defending champion is a vibe that sticks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Viewers Had To Look Away When This Happened On Live Show. Vetob Read Now Undo The world No.2, also known as 'Carlito' and Jannik Sinner, the world No.1, some 20-months apart in age, are like day and night. The Spaniard, who beat the Italian in an epic five-hour 29-minute final three weeks ago, plays with enviable flair. His game is as much instinct as it is imperial, and he doesn't quite know what it is to stick to scripts, while the only thing unruly about Sinner is his mop of curls. For the rest, the 23-year-old, the owner of the cleanest shots in the game, is all method and precise margins. The work Sinner puts into his tennis reflects in his play, but with Alcaraz, it is like his sweat doesn't stain. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? The second seed, who hit on Aorangi Park on Sunday afternoon sporting a red tee on black shorts, looked slighter than he does on television. Alcaraz, bidding to record his 19th consecutive Tour-level match-win and extend his longest career winning streak, will open proceedings on Centre Court against the 38-year-old Italian Fabio Fognini on what promises to be the hottest opening day ever of the tournament at 32 degrees. The Spaniard — the first teenage world No.1 on the ATP Tour, the youngest in history — played on a grass court for the first time only in 2019. 'The most beautiful tennis is (played) on grass. The style that players bring to the court when they play on grass, is so beautiful. The sound of the ball, the movement is really tough, but when you get it, it's kind of like you're flying,' he said with a smile. 'It's just pretty, I want to hit slices, dropshots, go to the net all the time, play aggressively. I think on grass it's the style that you have to play. That's what I like the most. ' The love resonates with Alcaraz' record on the surface, he has won 29 of the 32 Tour-level grass-court matches he has contested. In the final at Roland Garros when the second seed, serving to stay in the match at 5-6, 15-30 in the fifth set, played the last 15-minutes of the match with the lightness of one who had nothing to lose. The crowd lifted him and he rose to the occasion. 'When I'm playing without thinking about anything else, I get the freedom to play whatever I like. When that happens, I always show my best tennis,' he said. Alcaraz will hope to fly again this fortnight, looking to nail another record.

"Familiar screenwriting" but it works "in parts"- Hansal Mehta: reviews Brad Pitt's 'F1'
The well-known filmmaker Hansal Mehta has reviewed actor Brad Pitt's new film, 'F1,' and shared his point of view at length about what has worked for the film and what has not. What did the Scam 1992 maker say? Sharing from his social media handle early on Monday, Hansal praised Brad Pitt, saying that there's "something moving about watching a star who knows how to carry silence and wear fatigue with grace. " Hansal said that "the treatment of the supporting cast" in the film "definitely doesn't work." Hansal said that even though 'F1' has "familiar screenwriting," but it works "in parts." He said, "My thoughts on F1. F1 applies every familiar screenwriting trope from the underdog sportsperson playbook: the tormented past, the fractured team, the old-vs-young dynamic, and the predictable trajectory from rock bottom to redemption. You can almost hear the structure ticking away beneath the surface." What works in 'F1' as per Mehta He added it with "And yet, despite all that, it works - at least in parts. The racing sequences are thrillingly constructed, shot with the kind of kinetic precision that makes you forget the cliché for a while. The film treats its beautifully ageing lead with near-reverence and rightly so. There's something moving about watching a star who knows how to carry silence and wear fatigue with grace." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Hansal says 'F1' didn't do justice to Javier Bardem's character Hansal also said that the film has "same drug, different packaging." Further adding, "What definitely doesn't work is the treatment of its supporting cast. Take Javier Bardem—an actor capable of thunder—and reduce him to one of the laziest character sketches in recent memory. A waste really. And yet, for all its worn-out tropes and narrative shortcuts F1 had the audience glued for most part, willingly swept up in the spectacle. Somehow the clichés didn't matter. The crowd wanted the hit and the film delivered. Same drug, different packaging but the high still lands."
