  + stars: | 2023-07-11 | by ( Mitch Phillips | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Something of a rarity in the cut-throat world of international sport, Eubanks plays with a smile on his face. "I've always thought that being yourself on the court really endears you to fans," Blake told Reuters at the All England Club. "Eubanks is genuinely like that and I think that shines through to the fans, that he's having fun out there. "I hope the cameras follow him because he's going to be one of the stars who ends up on the side of a bus," said Blake. Blake has known Eubanks for years, helping with his training and nutrition, and is confident that he will take his sudden stardom in his relaxed stride.

☆ Elizabeth Holmes is going to prison, but the fate of her favorite accessory — the iconic black turtleneck — still hangs in the balance

There's a "new" Elizabeth Holmes in town, at least according to The New York Times. But did her teardown kill the black turtleneck? In March 2015, Glamour magazine asked Elizabeth Holmes about her style and ran a story about her called "Meet the $9 Billion Woman: Career Advice From Theranos Founder Elizabeth Holmes." Posters of Hulu's "The Dropout" feature Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes, clad, of course, in the signature turtleneck look. Deep down, I don't think Homes killed the black turtleneck — not really.

We will now discuss pickleball, because pickleball is the only thing that matters now. Pickleball, pickleball, pickleball. The Final Four, Opening Day, new NFL rules—none of it stands a chance against a good old racket-borne Tupperware fight. By media edict, I am required to mention pickleball at least 20 times per day, or there is a penalty, which is having to mention pickleball 40 times a day. On Sunday, April 2, former pickleball hater John McEnroe —“I think it sucks,” Mac said last September—will compete against fellow tennis geezers Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick and Michael Chang in a tournament at a Florida casino with a purse of $1 million.

Never beaten at Melbourne Park after reaching the semis, fourth seed Djokovic is rated an unbackable favourite to triumph again under the floodlights at Rod Laver Arena.
