On the Rag, Vol. 912

Icon: For Flavio Cobolli, tennis isn't sacrifice -- it's passion, joy and the thrill of pushing beyond his limits

L'officiel: Tennis has been Lorenzo Musetti's passion since age 4. Even sidelined by injury, he's still chasing the dream

Interview: We finished HBO Max's "Bring Me the Beauties" and I had the same reaction I did to the Hulu romance scam documentary: No, this couldn't "happen to anyone." You have to be inherently dumb to fall prey to something like this. And if you think I'm being unkind, ask yourself why even now most of them hint at still believing there was "something" there.
