"The ATP could have non stupid rules," one wrote.Another commented: "At what point will someone in 2022 go through the rule book and scratch out all the rules that are obviously stupid."It’s very simple, update the damn thing."Opelka broke into the top 20 for the first time in his career with the victory in Dallas, where he did not drop a set.His imperious serve ensured he didn’t even face a break point against Brooksby, whose wait for a first ATP title continues.“I thought I played very well under pressure, especially against a great player like Jenson.

Kanye West as he appears to continue to create drama over his estranged relationship with his wife Kim Kardashian.The presenter and actress has urged people to stop encouraging behaviour displayed by Ye, for which he’s been accused of harassment by some fans. Earlier this week Ye conceded that his recent social media posts, which included him branding Kardashian’s new boyfriend Pete Davidson a “dickhead“, “came off as harassing Kim“.Jamil made reference to Ye having mental health issues (he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2017) and implored her followers to not stoke the fire for the sake of all parties – particularly due to the impact it may have on West and Kardashian’s children.“We are watching a mentally ill man coaxed over the edge by our engagement/media attention,” wrote Jamil on Instagram.

Lil Peep‘s mother’s claims of wrongful death and negligence against her late son’s record label First Access Entertainment (FAE) and tour manager Belinda Mercer.Teresa A. Beaudet has rejected FAE’s request to dismiss the claims on the grounds that Liza Kathryn Womack, who is also the executor of her son’s estate, failed to show any “causal connection” between FAE’s alleged negligence and Peep’s overdose from fentanyl and Xanax on a tour bus in 2017.Rolling Stone reports that Beaudet ruled at a court hearing in Los Angeles yesterday (February 17) that Womack’s case still stands, which is also due to providing other viable reasons for lodging such claims.These include that no one on the bus was trained to recognise the signs and symptoms of an overdose, the bus was not equipped with a defibrillator, Narcan or any other “life-saving apparatuses” for overdoses, and that no one on the bus gave Peep a life-saving aid.The judge added that while she agreed with FAE that sections of a highly damaging statement from Peep’s fellow musician Cold Hart were indeed inadmissible hearsay in the civil case, the court’s decision to pare down Hart’s statement submitted in 2021 wasn’t enough to scrap the wrongful death lawsuit first filed by Womack in 2019.In Cold Hart’s disputed statement, he testified that he was travelling with Peep for the rapper’s ‘Come Over When You’re Sober’ tour from November 8, 2017 until the rapper’s death on November 15, 2017.

Tom Hardy and Joe Cole – is set against a background of working class criminal skullduggery in the 1910s and ’20s, and the costumes speak to that era’s sense of polished suiting and traditional fabrications; tweed coats, three-piece suiting, penny collared shirts (with collar bars) and the ubiquitous flat cap, the peak of which has been known to conceal a few razor blades.Then the Beckham effect took hold. The footballer, and his brood of stylish young sons, were enamoured with the show, and dressing accordingly – ditto Guy Ritchie, who became a fan of its swaggering, boots-and-braces aesthetic; Ritchie fancying himself as a latter day gangster kingpin perhaps.
