Raducanu was knocked out of the Melbourne Park Major after losing in straight sets to Coco Gauff in a tense second-round match. The World No. 77 looked impressive against the American seventh seed but a lack of consistency and practice led to a 6-3, 7-6, (7-4) defeat. The 20-year-old battled an ankle ailment in Auckland prior to playing in Melbourne, and her defeat means she has not advanced to the third round of a Grand Slam since her historic victory at the 2021 US Open....

Republicans have been aflutter since the initial rumors of Musk buying Twitter began to swirl. Their hope is that the eccentric tech billionaire will reinstate a certain real estate billionaire and former president to the social media platform, overturning the ban imposed on him after his fomenting of an insurrection meant to overturn the results of the 2020 election. While this reinstatement is now fairly likely to happen, it doesn’t really advance free speech in any meaningful way....
