Javokhir Sindarov lays down the marker at Candidates, with resounding win against Fabiano Caruana; Pragg plays out safe draw

Javokhir Sindarov lays down the marker at Candidates, with resounding win against Fabiano Caruana; Pragg plays out safe draw

Published by Webster

Javokhir Sindarov defies the very idea of a conventional chess player. He lacks the stoic composure of a Fabiano Caruana, doesn’t possess the sharp wit of a Hikaru Nakamura, and is far from the introverted nature of a Wei Yi. He exists as a complete anomaly. He’s the kind of player who will happily lean into someone else’s analysis, buzzing with energy, always smiling but invariably ready to fight over the board. He is the quintessential new-age chess star. After taking down India’s lone hope, R Praggnanandhaa, in the third round while doing so with the black pieces, the newly minted World Cup winner delivered another statement performance on Wednesday, dismantling one of the event’s most experienced favourites, Caruana, in the fourth round. A few months ago at the FIDE World Cup in Goa, Sindarov captured the hearts of chess fans with his dynamic style, sparkling quality of play, and irrepressible charm. Now, he is hogging the spotlight in Cyprus, tearing through a formidable field and storming to such a dominant start at the Candidates …

With 100 match wins at three Slams – and approaching the mark at the fourth – Novak Djokovic sets another marker for greatness and longevity | Tennis News

With 100 match wins at three Slams – and approaching the mark at the fourth – Novak Djokovic sets another marker for greatness and longevity | Tennis News

Published by Webster

Timeless greatness on the tennis court requires a combination of success and longevity. In a sport where the narrative is largely set by the four Grand Slam tournaments, the number of titles at these high-profile events is generally considered the yardstick for greatness. In that regard, Novak Djokovic – with 24 Grand Slam singles titles – is the most successful (or greatest, take your pick). This haul has been achieved over a career spanning more than two decades and sustained excellence on a variety of surfaces and in different conditions. On Monday in Melbourne, the Serb became the first male player to have at least 100 match wins at three of the four Grand Slams, and he isn’t too far from doing it at the fourth – the US Open. What was the unique achievement for Djokovic in Melbourne on Monday? The Serb’s first-round win over Spain’s Pedro Martinez, in straight sets, was his 100th at the Australian Open. The landmark is hardly surprising as Djokovic is a 10-time champion at Melbourne Park and has …

Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer Reveals It Was ‘Necessary’ to Publicly Address That She Was Issued Male Gender Marker in New Passport

Published by Parlour News

Euphoria star Hunter Schafer was issued a passport with a male gender marker. The actress took to her social media platform to share a video where she talked about the problem and asked her fans to notice where the country is headed. While making an appearance on the red carpet at The Independent Spirit Awards, the actress conversed with The Associated Press and revealed the reason behind bringing the issue into the public domain.  Schafer, who was also one of the presenters at the ceremony, revealed to the media portal that she felt “it was a good, necessary point” to talk about the problem she faced in the new reign of Donald Trump.  In the clip she released on TikTok, the actress shared that the passport that she had previously issued was stolen in Spain while she was shooting. During her new application, Schafer claimed that she had marked in the female box, to be appeared in the new passport. However, with the goof-up, she will have to go through the procedure all over again. …

Hockey India League: Harmanpreet Singh has an off night as impressive UP Rudras lay down an early marker with 3-0 win | Hockey News

Published by Webster

In what has been a largely closely-contested tournament in the early stages, Soorma Hockey Club suffered a significant defeat – the first team to lose a match by three goals in the men’s Hockey India League in Rourkela. UP Rudras, along with Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers, made it two wins out of two, to put down a strong early marker by scoring six goals across their two matches. Sudeep Chirmako (2’), Jobanpreet Singh (38’) and Akashdeep Singh (58’) were on the scoresheet for Rudras on Thursday, in an impressive all-round performance driven by their captain Hardik Singh in the midfield. It was a rare off night for India captain Harmanpreet Singh as he was thwarted over and over by Rudras’ penalty corner defence, especially by the immaculate first-rushing of Dutch star Lars Balk. On the day he was confirmed as a nominee for India’s highest sporting honour – Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award – Harmanpreet was left disappointed on the field as he missed a series of penalty corner opportunities in a 0-3 defeat …
