Medvedev's wife was wearing the colors of the Ukraine flag sitting courtside yesterday.

"I've completely turned myself around" - that's the story. How? Some journalist needs to jump on that. It's a 5,000-word narrative waiting to happen. But you really need to be on the ground in Australia to write it, so has to be one of them. Could be done virtually but wouldn't be nearly as good.

That's the story to you. You're one of the only ones I've seen think that's the story.

I would like to read that story. How did he get over a mental disease that he describes very graphically as very destructive.
What would be the story, to you?

That’s exactly it. How he did it, who helped, what helped, did tennis know, did tennis hurt or help - and what now? How has stability changed him as a tennis player?

I might venture to suggest he has gotten sober through AA or some other similar program.

The reactions in here to two heartfelt, emotional posts are real interesting.

About Rublev... I didn't think anything of it when I first saw it last night, but when I got up this morning and was watching the dog do her good morning pee, it popped into my head... "No War Please"...

He added the word "please". Most of us would have simply written, "No War." Rublev was going out of his way to be polite.

I'm not knocking his sentiment in any way. I just thought the politeness, the request-like, deferential nature of his expression was curious.

He is still a citizen of a totalitarian regime. He knows he can face non-renewal of his passport, threats to his personal integrity or his family, a little polonium 204 in his rice crispies, or any other idea that Vlad may come up against somebody that is a political nothing in his country.
You are used to writing all the smack you want about Tiny. People in countries like Russia know not to offend the big leader. It can be hazardous to your health.

I don't think the "please" is out of politeness, it's out of desperation. The way you beg a kidnapper to please let you go.
No one wanted this and beyond the tragedy of it and any of his friends and their families in danger (including Russians his age getting conscripted into the army), I imagine being someone that has to go out there with a Russian flag behind them day in and out for the next years is an extra weight.

In her IG Stories, she had video of a Romanian entry point and thanked them for greeting Ukrainians warmly, so likely was there first after leaving Odessa before travelling to France.

Sorana looking very pretty. Well, she is (I think).
