Follow live coverage of Wimbledon 2024Welcome to the Wimbledon briefing, where The Athletic will explain the stories behind the stories on each day of the tournament. On day eight of Wimbledon 2024, Elena Rybakina stepped up to her new billing, the ATP made a germy decision, and there was chaos on Court One. Elena Rybakina is one of three players left in the women’s field who has won a Grand Slam title before. Rybakina plays with a big serve and with flat power that keeps her ball low. More importantly, do we too often discount the data point of winning a tournament on grass the week before Wimbledon?

Welcome to the Wimbledon briefing, where The Athletic will explain the stories behind the stories on each day of the tournament. On day seven of Wimbledon 2024, Carlos Alcaraz showed off his tennis diet, Lulu Sun kept building her story, and Daniil Medvedev set up a rematch. To really feel good on a tennis court, Carlos Alcaraz needs to play points that get the crowd off their seats. He lost the third set 6-1 and went on a run of losing four service games in a row. Even in an international sport like tennis, Wimbledon quarterfinalist Lulu Sun has quite some heritage.

REUTERS/Cesar Olmedo Acquire Licensing RightsASUNCION, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Inmates at Paraguay's largest prison rioted on Tuesday, taking 11 guards hostage and setting fire to facilities in the crowded Tacumbu penitentiary on the outskirts of the capital. Two hostages were later released as government and military forces responded to the revolt, according to Interior Minister Enrique Riera. Tacumbu houses nearly 4,000 inmates in a ramshackle, tin-roof building and, according to local security experts, gangs exert near-total influence over life inside. Interior Minister Riera said Paraguay would push for prison reform once the riot was quelled.

ASUNCION (Reuters) - Inmates at Paraguay's largest prison rioted on Tuesday, taking 11 guards hostage and setting fire to facilities in the crowded Tacumbu penitentiary on the outskirts of the capital. Two hostages were later released as government and military forces responded to the revolt, according to Interior Minister Enrique Riera. Tacumbu houses nearly 4,000 inmates in a ramshackle, tin-roof building and, according to local security experts, gangs exert near-total influence over life inside. Police braced behind riot shields while the entrance to the prison was in flames, though authorities said later that firefighters had brought the blaze under control. Interior Minister Riera said Paraguay would push for prison reform once the riot was quelled.

Daniela Bîrsa este o moldoveancă stabilită în Spania și care a devenit protagonista unui scurtmetraj intitulat „Op. Producția tratează, printre alte subiecte, pandemia de COVID-19, cultura și imigrația și este inspirată din adevărata istorie a Danielei Bîrsa. După acest scurt moment, colega Verei, cea care a fotografiat-o ieșea deja pe ușă, însă protagonista a rămas lângă pian și a interpretat o piesă proprie”, ne spune Daniela despre rolul ei. Potrivit Ajuntament de Caldes de Montbui, scurtmetrajul a fost filmat de Roger Riera, Nando Caballero și Vicenç Ferreres în decembrie anul trecut în Sala Noble din Can Rius. Premiera acestuia va avea loc în același spațiu în care a fost filmat.
