Serena Williams just made an emphatic start at Roland Garros - then got asked about Rafael Nadal vs Roger Federer.
"I don't get involved in the 'greatest' talk. You know, the greatest for me is, and will always be, Jesus, so I'm going to leave it at that," Williams began."Rafa, I'm obviously a huge fan of his. I always have been. But it's like you can't compare two people that are equally great. Roger, I mean, he's Roger Federer. I think that says enough," Williams continued.
And this is how Ahn described the sensation of being across the net from that version of Williams, the one where she is at her very best. Thiem will next face American qualifier Jack Sock, who beat Reilly Opelka 6-4 6-4 6-3 and was one of at least six men from the US to get to the second round; only one did a year ago in Paris.

Critical race theorists are ‘destroying the US’ from the inside | Sky News AustraliaCritical race theory programs designed to “destroy the US” and the west from the inside by removing apparent inherent racism have spread everywhere throughout the American federal government, according to film director Christopher Rufo.\n\nMr Rufo recently undertook a massive investigation into critical race theory in the American public service which uncovered harrowing revelations prompting him to call on the President to act.\n\nWithin 72 hours President Donald Trump issued an executive memo abolishing critical race theory from the federal government.\n\nIn what he described as one of his “most explosive stories,” Mr Rufo said a nuclear laboratory sent employees on a three-day “white male re-education camp” where they were told white male culture was analogous to the KKK.\n\n“They were forced to deconstruct their own identity, and denounce themselves publicly,” he said.\n\n“These programs, essentially spread everywhere throughout the federal government, are predicated on a single idea; America and western countries are inherently, irredeemably racist.\n\n“And all our social institutions from the constitution, to the legal system, to the nuclear family are a mere smokescreen for white supremacy.\n\n“They want nothing less than to destroy the United States, destroy the west, and to do it from the inside out.”\n
