It wasn't the best of my performance but he played well and I didn't serve well in the decisive moments of the second set. It was a curious set from Djokovic, with five double faults and 15 unforced errors telling its own story. Canadian Shapovalov raced into the second round with a 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 victory over Federico Delbonis of Argentina in just one hour and 49 minutes.

Is SL’s tea industry facing a disaster?
Master tea maker Herman Gunaratne, one of 46 experts picked by Rajapaksa to guide the organic revolution, fears the worst. He says the country’s Ceylon tea has some of the lowest chemical content of any tea and poses no threat. Organic tea costs 10 times more to produce and the market is limited, Gurunada added. He said Sri Lanka’s food security had been “compromised” and that without foreign currency it is “worsening day by day”. Tea plantation owners say that on top of the loss of earnings, a crop failure would cause huge unemployment as tea leaves are still picked by hand.

Official begins discussions over safe passage for Brits and Afghans
British officials have opened talks with the Taliban about getting UK citizens and allies out of Afghanistan, it emerged last night. 'I would just say that since April when we have been planning and instituting this, over 17,000 British nationals, Afghan workers, vulnerable special cases are out. 'I know that the number of UK nationals, the particular responsibility of the Foreign Office, is now down at a very low level.' I can tell you that for UK nationals we've secured since April over 5,000, and we're in the low hundreds (remaining).' It is unclear how many of those British nationals who are still in the country have decided to stay of their own volition.

How Vaccine Side Effects Compare to COVID Symptoms
Photo: Thaiview (Shutterstock)The COVID-19 vaccines have become somewhat notorious for their side effects: fatigue, sore arm, maybe a fever. In a few rare cases, there are more serious complications, like inflammation of the heart. So is it riskier to get a vaccine or to take your chances with COVID itself? A new study in the New England Journal of Medicine set out to answer this question, comparing the moderate to serious symptoms people experience after the Pfizer vaccine with those that people experience with a COVID infection. But the way the Delta variant is currently raging, COVID is not a rare disease at all.
