Dominic Thiem Wins US Open Final on Tiebreak Against Alexander Zverev After Five-Set Thriller9/14/2020 RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,
https://www.messengernewspapers.co.uk/news/7226047.altrincham-grammar-school-for-boys/ https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/rahul-sharma-d189 https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/you-been-down-ryanair-heres-1815654 https://neconnected.co.uk/newcastle-fintech-firm-acquires-rival/ Novak Djokovic may still be the best player in men’s tennis but, in the self-inflicted absence of the world No1, Dominic Thiem, 27, can fairly lay claim to be leading the charge of the new wave of contenders after beating 23-year-old Alexander Zverev to win the 2020 US Open on Sunday evening. Djokovic, 33, is waiting with 34-year-old Rafael Nadal for these impatient arrivistes to show up on the clay of Rome this week (Roger Federer remains at home resting his 39-year-old knees), and beyond that lies Roland Garros, the postponed and final slam of a disjointed, crazy season. Whatever Federer and Serena Williams believe, age is not just a number; it’s a pain in the backside. The old guard could only watch from a distance in their various hotel rooms or mansions as Thiem won a grand slam final at the fourth attempt, outlasting his opponent 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 in exactly four hours in front of family, friends and staff in the virus-cleansed Arthur Ashe Stadium. He is the first player in 71 years to come from two sets down to win the title. Thiem told his long-time friend on court, “We started to know each other back in 2014 and developed straight away a great friendship, and 2016 our rivalry started. We made great things happen on the court and off the court. I wish we could have two winners today. We both deserved it. You’re going to make it, 100%, make your parents proud.” Zverev, struggling to contain his tears as he spoke of missing his parents, said, “It was a tough battle, but here I am giving the runners-up speech. I wish one day I can bring the trophy home.” Thiem, the 55th men’s slam champion of the Open era, is the first newcomer at the top table since Marin Cilic won his first and only major so far by breaking the spell of the Big Three here in 2014. The US may be the land of tumult and change, but the men’s game is still ruled from Europe; all 43 men’s champions over the past decade have come from the “old world”. And that’s where the next chapter of the 2020 season will be played out. Source: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/sep/13/us-open-mens-final-2020-dominic-thiem-alexander-zverev

The former Munich Olympic Games bronze medallist went on to claim world titles in 1980 against Vito Antuofermo in Las Vegas, followed by a victorious rematch with the Italian, before facing Hagler at Wembley Arena on an inglorious night. “Boom Boom” Minter had a relatively short paid career, ending his days in the ring aged 30 in 1981 with 39 wins and nine defeats. Unlucky not to get to the 1972 Olympic final in Munich – he fought hometown boy Dieter Kottysch – Minter’s professional career began that October, overseen by British promotional team Mickey Duff, Jarvis Astaire and Mike Barrett. Minter debuted at the Royal Albert Hall, the southpaw boxer winning his first 11 fights before falling into a run of three victories and four losses. The defeats were all on cuts. Minter had developed his doubters, but was to prove everyone wrong.

Zak Bolland and David Worrall have been charged with murder and Courtney Brierley has been charged with manslaughter. They are due in court next week. Michelle Pearson, 37, died in August last year - she escaped but never fully recovered from the devastating house fire which claimed the lives of four of her children in December 2017. She was left critically ill following the blaze at her Walkden home in which daughters Demi, 15, Lacie, seven and Lia, three and son Brandon, eight died. The youngsters lost their lives after a petrol bomb was thrown into their home on Jackson Street on December 11. Zak Bolland, 26, and David Worrall, 28, have been charged with murder. Courtney Brierley, 23, has been charged with her manslaughter.

Back in March, the public was told to 'Stay Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives' and when measures were relaxed this was changed to 'Stay Alert, Control the Virus, Save Lives'. Now, as a new social gathering law is introduced, the government is introducing a new public campaign. The slogan 'Hands. Face. Space' will run across TV, radio, print, out of home, social and digital display advertising, with a new video being released to show exactly how coronavirus spreads indoors. The film – produced with the help of scientific experts – encourages the public to follow simple steps to reduce the risk of infection as people expected to spend more time inside during the winter. The campaign will be launched on Wednesday to highlight how everyone can help stop the spread of the virus by remembering to wash their hands, cover their face and make space. It is likely to be unveiled by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson who will hold a press conference to announce gatherings of more than six people will be illegal, unless it meets one of a limited list of exemptions.

Officers were called just after 08:40 BST to the Grange Farm estate in Kesgrave, Suffolk, where a person was later seen receiving medical treatment. Kesgrave High School said it had been told the incident involved one of its Year 11 students. The victim, who was shot once, was flown to hospital. Suffolk Police have arrested a boy, 15, in connection with the shooting. The suspect, who is said to be from the Woodbridge area, was arrested by armed police on suspicion of attempted murder. An Essex and Herts Air Ambulance landed on an area of grass and took off just before 10:00. Police said they were treating the shooting "as an isolated incident" and do "not believe there is any wider threat to the local community". The Suffolk force said it was thought a single shot was fired in the incident. It also confirmed a cordon in Westwood Avenue, nearly five miles (8km) from the location of the shooting, is connected to its investigation. Assistant Chief Constable Rob Jones said: "Following this serious incident our priority is to keep everyone safe." "There will be more police officers on patrol and to provide reassurance in the area and I would ask for anyone with information about this incident to come forward," he added.

And he has a pretty good track record having scored the opening goal for England in 2018 and last year sent crowds at Stamford Bridge wild by scoring a Soccer Aid brace. This time he will be lining up for the World XI at Old Trafford as the big charity match returns to Manchester. For those who are aware of Jeremy, his success on the pitch may come as no surprise as he is a world-renowned football freestyler, widely regarded as one of the best at what he does. Together with friend Billy Wingrove, they run F2 Freestylers Ultimate Soccer Skills Channel on YouTube, which has tens of millions of followers across all social media platform. However Jeremy first came to people's attention back in 2008 when he made it to the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent. As for being back with Soccer Aid, Jeremy will join the likes of Paddy McGuinness, Joe Wicks, Olly Murs and Ashley Cole in the match which is broadcast live on ITV. The charity match, which raises money for Unicef, will also this year recognise the impact coronavirus is having around the world. As a result, this year, every £1 donated is automatically trebled thanks to the UK Government and Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance.

They all have recovered and are healthy, he said, while urging the public to wear face masks to help prevent the spread of coronavirus. Johnson, 48, said in the Instagram post that he and his spouse, Lauren, 35, and their daughters, Jasmine, four, and Tiana, two, caught the virus less than three weeks ago from “very close family friends” whom he said had no idea how they had become infected. “I can tell you this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family, and for me personally,” he said in the video. The actor said his family, like their friends who caught the virus first, had been “incredibly disciplined” about adhering to safety measures to avoid the virus. The two young girls suffered only “a little sore throat the first couple of days” and bounced back, though Johnson and his wife had “a rough go,” he said. “But I am happy to tell you guys that we as a family are good. We are on the other end of it,” he said. “We are no longer contagious, and we are, thank God, we are healthy.“ Source: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/sep/03/the-rock-coronavirus-dwayne-johnson-family-covid-19-video-warning RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,

But I did alright, physically. At the beginning of the match I was apprehensive about playing a long match, you pace yourself. You do that as a junior when you come into the seniors.” Murray, who was beaten in five sets by Roberto Bautista Agut at the Australian Open in January 2019 before undergoing a hip resurfacing operation that kept him out of action for more than a year, was a shadow of his former self in the opening two sets and survived a match point in the fourth before eventually winning 4-6, 4-6, 7-6, (5) 7-6, (4), 6-4 in four hours and 39 minutes. “Once I got two sets down, I had to put the after-burners on, and I managed to come through,” he said. “I had to start striking the ball better. I was hitting it late and was a little bit tentative. Then I went and took too many chances and made too many errors. I didn’t have the balance.” Murray added: “My body hurts. I need to recover as best as possible. I need an ice bath now, but they stipulate you can only have one if it’s an emergency. I’d say this was an emergency, so I’ll go and see if I can have one here straight away, before I go back to the hotel. That was by far the most tennis I have played since the 2019 Aussie Open against Agut.” Murray next plays the 20-year-old Canadian Felix Auger Aliassime, who had to fight for three hours and 51 minutes to overcome the Brazilian world No83 Thiago Monteiro, 6-3, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (6), 7-6 (6), while British No1 Dan Evans advanced in straight sets against Thiago Seyboth Wild. Contemporaries who have known Murray all his career, and had seen many such comebacks from him, were none the less as stunned as the loser watching his performance. “Absolutely remarkable,” said Tim Henman. “After four hours and nearly 40 minutes, it’s going to be tough. The recovery in the next 36 hours is going to be very important and we’ll just have to see how he copes.

Eat Out to Help Out is due to come to an end on Monday, having been launched to help the hospitality industry. It offered a 50% discount, up to £10 per person, off meals and soft drinks. But some cafes and restaurants - including chains and independents - have opted to keep offering the discount. Pub owners Brains are extending their scheme until September 9. UK chains Harvester, Tesco Cafe and Toby Carvery are among those who have said they will continue the scheme for part or all of September. Cardiff's Philharmonic decided to keep the offer open after seeing "unprecedented" table bookings at the beginning of the week. Manager Nick Newman said it was a "business decision" to continue with the offer for another month but thinks it will give "customers more confidence to come back out". Welsh Government guidelines mean restaurants are working in a new way. The Philharmonic was "getting used to us serving and [customers] being served" in a way that ensured customers and staff stayed safe. Some businesses have introduced apps to cut interaction between customers and staff. Others have brought in one-way systems and screens between tables.
