Jannik Sinner, the defending champion, praised the atmosphere of the Arthur Ashe Stadium’s lights after defeating 23rd seed Alexander Bublik to reach the US Open quarterfinals.

The Italian tennis player made his night session debut this year with a win of 6-1, 6-1, and 6-1, never looked back after winning his 25th straight major match match against a difficult opponent.

After the match on Monday, Sinner said, “It’s always special to go on Ashe to play.”

“Night matches are a little different because there’s a little more attention, in my opinion. Around the court, there is also a different vibe. It is very loud. It’s also fun to play differently.

For me, this year marked my first time doing it. It was pleasant. If you play in the evening, you get both the good and the bad. You feel very welcome on the biggest court we have, and it’s very special.

Sinner gained retribution for the shock defeat suffered by Bublik in the Halle Open final on June 20, his only loss to a player other than Carlos Alcaraz this year, and was back in the locker room just 81 minutes after the incident.

We are well-known. We’ve had some difficult matches this year, so we’ve become better friends, the top-seeded Sinner said.

He finished late in his previous match against Tommy Paul. He did not perform as well in the service. I was able to play well after breaking him in each set.

Before Bublik could even start scoring, Sinner built a 4-0 lead before the dominant 24-year-old chased down a drop shot to score a deep backhand winner that tied the first set with another break.

Sinner drew his eighth straight grand slam quarterfinal by sliding back to his serve after Bublik’s attempts to disrupt his rhythm with more drop shots ended in futile.

Lorenzo Musetti and his compatriot will meet next. It would be a fantastic opportunity for Italian tennis, Sinner claimed.

It’s wonderful to see, I thought. Italian tennis is playing great. He said, “We have so many players and various game styles.

One of our greatest strengths is Lorenzo, according to Lorenzo. This one is something I’m anticipating. It’s great to have one Italian player in the semis, in my opinion.

“I am aware of the presence of a large crowd of Italian players. Everything becomes unique because of it.

According to the Met Office’s weather forecaster, the United Kingdom has had its warmest summer since records began in 1884 and is more likely to experience similar hot weather in the future as a result of human-induced climate change.

The Met Office reported on Monday that Faversham, southeast England, experienced four heatwaves this summer, with the highest temperature of 35.8 degrees Celsius (96.4% Fahrenheit), which was recorded there.

That peak was still lower than the record-breaking 40. 3C (104. 5F) recorded during the summer of 2022.

The Met Office reported that the average temperature in June, July, and August was 16.1C (60.9F), breaking the 2018 record of 15.8C (60.4), which placed the summer of 2025 at 1.5C (34.7%), which is above the long-term meteorological average.

The Met Office’s head of climate attribution, Mark McCarthy, said, “Our analysis shows that the summer of 2025 has been made much more likely by the greenhouse gases humans have released since the Industrial Revolution.

According to McCarthy, “We could conceivably have significantly hotter summers in the near future.”

In our changing climate, what might have previously been considered extremes are becoming more prevalent.

The Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch announced the news on Monday as the Met Office announced that, if elected, it would extract every last drop of oil and gas from the North Sea.

According to health experts and climate activists, drilling for more oil and gas in the North Sea might have negative effects on climate change.

The UK’s healthcare and infrastructure have struggled to adapt to the rising summer heat.

Transport for London was urged by the BBC to carry water and “look out for each other while traveling” in June due to the soaring temperatures in London’s underground rail network.

A coalition of 53 UK health organizations, which includes some one million health professionals, has warned that “heatwaves are linked to sharp increases in deaths,” that higher temperatures can interfere with sleep, increase stress, and make mental health conditions like depression and anxiety worse.

As global warming gets worse, countries around the world have recently experienced record-breaking temperatures.

Since records began, South Korea and Japan have recently experienced the most sweltering summers.

In Europe, deadly wildfires occurred in countries like Greece, Spain, and Portugal as a result of sweltering summer heatwaves.

The largest flood in its history is currently affecting eastern Punjab province in Pakistan, which is currently affecting two million people.

A large military parade took place in Vietnam’s capital Hanoi to mark the 80th anniversary of its independence from France.

In a stark display of nationalism, tens of thousands of people gathered in Hanoi on Tuesday for a Communist-run country.

During the celebrations at Ba Dinh Square, where revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh formally renounced colonial rule on September 2, 1945, authorities displayed a wide range of military equipment, including missiles, helicopters, and fighter jets.

Nearly 16 000 soldiers took part in the parade, which included honor guards from China, Russia, Laos, and Cambodia, according to officials.

To Lam, the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, paid tribute to the fallen soldiers in a speech to mark the occasion and reiterated the government’s desire for Vietnam to become a “powerful, prosperous, and happy nation” by 2045.

We respectfully remember our ancestors in this sacred moment, Lam said.

“Our country has overcome numerous difficulties and difficulties. Our nation has steadily advanced toward modernity as a result of its transition from a colony to an independent, unified nation.

Vu Thi Trang, a student at the university, claimed she had prepared her spot for the celebrations two days in advance.

The 19-year-old told the AFP news agency, “Something inside just pushed me to be here.”

“I’m appreciative of the sacrifices made by the previous generation to ensure that our generation has peace and freedom of growth.”

Vietnam announced last week that it would distribute 100, 000 dollars ($3.80) to each of its 100 million citizens as part of anniversary celebrations.

Additionally, Vietnamese President Luong Cuong announced that 66 foreigners and 13, 920 prisoners would be released before their sentences were up.

Ho Chi Minh’s declaration of independence was not recognized by France, but a disastrous military defeat at Dien Bien Phu in 1954 caused the European powers to resipate completely from the nation and Laos and Cambodia.

The Communist North and US-backed South fought the two-decade Vietnam War after Vietnam was divided due to the Geneva Accords of 1954.

Mitchell Starc, Australia’s leader in white ball pace, has left his Twenty20 appearances to concentrate on extending his one-day cricket and test career.

The left-armer, age 35, is second on Australia’s all-time list, behind spinner Adam Zampa, with 79 wickets in 65 T20Is.

He stated in a Cricket Australia statement on Tuesday that “test cricket is and always has been my highest priority.”

“I have loved every second of every T20 match I’ve played for Australia, particularly the 2021 World Cup, not just because we won but also because the team was fantastic and the atmosphere was fantastic.”

I believe that in the run-up to an away Indian test tour, the Ashes, and the ODI World Cup in 2027, I can focus on staying fit, fresh, and best for those campaigns.

In the matches that precede that tournament, the bowling group has time to get ready for the T20 World Cup.

Starc did not play in Australia’s T20I squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand, which was released on Tuesday.

Todd Greenberg, the head of Cricket Australia, and George Bailey, the chairman of the national selectors, paid tribute to Starc.

“Mitch should be incredibly proud of his T20 performance for Australia,” Bailey said.

He played a key role in the 2021 World Cup winning team and, like all of his cricket, had a great knack for getting games off the ground with his wicket-taking prowess.

We will recognize and celebrate his T20 debut at the appropriate time, but pleasingly, he will continue to play test and ODI cricket for as long as possible.

Starc made “significant sacrifices” to serve his country, according to Greenberg.

Another example of putting team first is “to allow the next crop of fast bowlers a clear path to the T20 World Cup early next year,” he said.

An estimated 1, 000 people have died in a landslide that reportedly claimed the lives of an entire village in Sudan’s western Darfur region.

The Sudan Liberation Movement/Army, according to news organizations, published a statement late on Monday about the Darfur disaster in the Marra Mountains.

The village was “completely leveled to the ground,” according to the rebel group, and there was only one survivor left when the landslide struck on Sunday after days of heavy rainfall.

Initial information indicates that all village residents have died, with the death toll now reaching more than one thousand, according to a statement from the organization.

Additionally, the rebels pleaded with the UN and other international aid organizations for assistance in recovering the bodies of the victims, some of whom were children.

Sudan’s ongoing civil war, which is now in its third year, has caused famine to have already been declared in some of Darfur, adding to the country’s already worst humanitarian crises.

The Marra Mountains area, where people were fleeing clashes between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), was reported by the Reuters news agency to be in short supply.

The Sudan Liberation Movement/Army factions, which control the region where the landslide occurred, have pledged to fight alongside the Sudanese military.

Since the army seized Khartoum from the RSF in March, there has been more fighting in Darfur, especially in el-Fasher.

The RSF, which wants to occupy El-Fasher, the last significant population center held by the army in the Darfur region, has been under siege for more than a year.

The paramilitaries are attempting to bolster power in the west and form a rival government after losing a significant portion of central Sudan earlier this year, including Khartoum.
