Las Vegas Ch SF: Stefan Kozlov [4] def. Steve Johnson [2] 6-3, 1-6, 7-5 Match Stats
Tumblr media
📸 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)
A true fighter. This match was truly a rollercoaster in itself, but it would never come to me that it took a combination of grit and an element of hot shot to stay in the match and prevail. With all that happened in the match, S. Kozlov pulled it off, and it showed. The stats might have resonated with this impression, to some extent.
Service game-wise, S. Johnson’s first serves efficacy (at 76% points won there) were mostly contributed from the second set, where he was in total control. S. Kozlov’s first serves level dipped in that set (although it peaked in the first), but his second serves within that and the third tried to make it count from the way he won 52% of his points from there. Although S. Kozlov had one more double fault than S. Johnson (7 to 6) and less ace (7 to 8), the key at the end of the match was somehow the return game and that finishing point, sometimes.
And those comprised the whole reason of how someone initiate and convert those chances. S. Johnson had more chances to break (10 to 8) and could only materialize 40% of them (three came from the second set and only one in the third), while S. Kozlov converted 50% of his break chances, including the one prior to the match point. Sustaining the level is a tough task here, considering how topsy-turvy the match was, but as one said, “when there is a will, there is a way.” To fight until the last ball, even though you have to sacrifice for it (re: the impromptu medical timeout, but glad S. Kozlov turned out fine), was what that matters. To dig deep and find a way out. It will always pay off.
S. Kozlov will face Tennys Sandgren, who earlier defeated Juncheng Shang in straight sets, 6-3, 7-6. Both of them eyeing their own resurgence (and redemption, to some extent) in the finals. Knowing both players and the flow, we will see what is going to happen. S. Kozlov dug really deep in the third set, but we never know until we feel the intensity and see how hard he fights to pull the next one through.

Collateral Damage, Part 3
***
Kensi woke up bound to a chair, confused and with her head aching. She was in a small room with an ordinary bedroom door, the only defining feature being a stack of cardboard boxes lining one wall. Kensi flexed her hands several times, testing the strength of the zip ties around her wrists and ankles; they were too tight to break in this position.
There were some holes, but she remembered questioning a witness, hearing a noise, and being ambushed by several armed men. She could only hope Fatima had escaped in the chaos.
She felt a little banged up, but it didn’t seem as though they’d beaten her, and she slowly exhaled in relief, wishing she could touch her stomach to confirm. Continuing to search the room for anything that might be of use, Kensi tugged more persistently at the zip ties.
A door slammed, followed by heavy footsteps. Acting on instinct, Kensi dropped her head, letting her body go limp a second before the door opened, smacking into the wall.
Someone, a man based on the movements, stepped into the room, walking up to Kensi, and she could feel hot breath wafting down on her neck. It took all Kensi’s effort not to react, and hope he didn’t investigate further. After another moment, he retreated, closing the door behind him.
“She’s still out,” Kensi heard him say and then a second male asked,
“What are we going to do with her?”
“I told Johnson we should have killed her there,” a third voice growled, and Kensi tensed.
“We can use her. Don’t touch her unless I say,” the first man ordered tersely, his voice growing distant as they obviously moved away from the door.
Once she couldn’t hear them at all, Kensi began working at the zip ties in earnest.
***
Sam left Deeks alone in the locker room to gather himself, heading back up to OPS. He didn’t envy Deeks current situation at all, remembering how terrified he’d been when Aiden was held hostage. He couldn’t imagine the terror of defenseless unborn children being in danger. And Kensi…Sam shook his head before he could spiral down that train of thought.
In the time Sam had been gone, Rountree was apparently hard at work; he had various street cams pulled up on one screen and documents related to their victim’s wife.
“You find anything yet?” Sam asked.
“No, but I just got started,” Rountree replied, flicking a glance over his shoulder. “How’s Deeks?”
“Struggling, but he’ll manage.” He didn’t really have much choice. He hesitated for a moment then added, “I don’t know that Deeks wants me to share this, but Kensi’s pregnant with twins.”
“Damn,” Callen muttered.
“Exactly. So we’re going to do everything in our power to make sure nothing happens to Kensi or those babies.”
Rountree nodded seriously, a slightly uncertain, almost guilty look in his eye.
“I hate to say this, but do you think we should bench Deeks?” Callen asked, and Sam huffed an unamused laugh.
“When has benching any of us ever worked when cases get personal? No, that would probably make it worse since Deeks would undoubtedly go rogue,” Sam said. “I’ll keep an eye on him, but he needs to be involved. He’s fighting for his family.”
“Ok. As long as we’re all in agreement.”
Deeks slipped in a moment later, looking reasonably put together, if more subdued than normal. Based on his expression, he’d guessed he’d been the topic of conversation. Clearing his throat roughly, he walked to the spit he usually shared with Kensi.
“Any update from LAPD or Fatima?” he asked.
“I was just about to go down there,” Callen told him. “You got it covered here?”
“Yeah. We got it, right Deeks? We’ll follow up on any leads Rountree gets,” Sam responded. Deeks jaw clenched tightly, but he didn’t object.
“Got it.”
“Hey Callen,” Deeks called out, stopping him on his way to the sliding doors. “Make sure Fatima knows this isn’t her fault, ok?”
“Will do,” Callen promised.
***
A/N: This chapter has everything. Angst, whump, mentions of people going rogue (yes, you should read this as Stefan from SNL).

Klaroline WIP Wed - waffle house au - Rebekah's Hangry
Part One here
Part Two here
Smiling as if that was funny, Rebekah seemed like she was trying to invite Caroline in on the joke.
“I am—I mean—I do, of course I care,” Caroline said defensively. “But a girl’s gotta eat.”
“And that’s exactly what I mean.” Rebekah gestured around the brightly lit specimen of an American diner. “Humans, everywhere.” On the other side of the diner, a girl and a boy, probably her age, were tossing small balls of wadded up napkins at each other. “Eat one, who would miss them?”
“Their families might.” Caroline glared. She still had to smile and look Mrs. Johnson in the eye when Caroline had been the one to bite through her son’s neck to save Stefan and Damon from the deputy’s stake. Good thing she didn’t have much cause these days to frequent the drug store where Mrs. Johnson worked the counter unless she was picking up something for her mom. She always looked worn out when Caroline saw her.
“Did yours miss you?” Rebekah asked, leaning on the table. Caroline couldn’t tell if she was being mean on purpose, or if this was just what Rebekah considered a friendly chat.
“I never went missing,” she growled. “I had a nice, miraculous recovery in the hospital after a car accident—thank you, Damon—and then got smothered in the middle of the night—thanks, Katherine—and woke up thinking my IV drip looked delish. So no one had any time to miss me.” Caroline didn’t mention that her mother hadn’t even noticed afterward, it would be too much like proving Rebekah right. 
“Ugh.” Rebekah made a face and tossed her brush back into her purse. “Katherine. She does go around ruining everyone’s lives, doesn’t she?”
Caroline shifted uncomfortably on the bench seat. How to tell the girl who had so recently strived to become human again that Katherine had—in her twisted way—done Caroline a favor? 
Across the restaurant, the girl flicked one final napkin at her tablemate—jeeze, what a mess they were leaving, poor Marcy—and got up, heading for the restroom. Rebekah propped her chin up on one hand and smiled.
“I love it when they make it easy. Now listen very carefully, baby vampire. You might learn something.” Sliding out of the booth, she evaded Caroline’s attempt to grab her.
“Rebekah!” Caroline hissed, while the other girl walked away, leaving her purse. In moments, she had disappeared around the corner behind the countertop and kitchen into the hallway that housed the bathrooms.
Glancing around, Caroline felt a keen anxiety rising up in her. No one had noticed anything odd, of course, because there was nothing odd about a girl going to use the restroom. Hopefully there wouldn’t be a massacre taking place in the ladies room of the fucking Waffle House on a Tuesday night. 
God, and she had Calculus in the morning.
“Caroline…” Rebekah’s voice came to her softly from the hallway, low and pitched for vampire hearing. “Oh, Caroline, are you listening?”
She rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth. “No,” she ground out.
A sharp laugh. “I like that you’re a terrible liar. Everyone in my family is an excellent liar.”
Caroline fished her phone out of her pocket and held it up to her ear like she had a phone call. “Even you?”
“Especially me. But not about this.” The sound of a toilet flushing and then hands washing came faintly through the walls, and Caroline’s hearing focused on the back hallway until Rebekah’s voice was clear. “Now, pay attention.”

As the Senate considered approving $61 billion to Ukraine this weekend, Donald Trump published an all-caps rant making his opposition clear.
“FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, ARE YOU LISTENING U.S. SENATE(?), NO MONEY IN THE FORM OF FOREIGN AID SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ANY COUNTRY UNLESS IT IS DONE AS A LOAN,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform on Friday.
The Senate rejected Trump’s order, passing the bill Tuesday morning 70-29. But the bill still needs to clear the Republican-controlled House, where the former president’s influence has proven powerful in the past. Indeed, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has already stated opposition to the Senate aid bill.
Which makes now a good time to remind ourselves that the objections to Ukraine aid are absurd.
Supporting Ukraine’s defense is one of the single easiest foreign policy calls of my lifetime, a policy that has both protected Ukrainians from Russian slaughter and advanced America’s geopolitical interests in Europe. It has done so at a relatively low cost in dollars and zero cost in American lives. There is nothing to gain by abandoning it, and everything to lose.
Let’s start with the most basic point: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was an act of evil. Since the war’s beginning, the Russian government and its propaganda outlets have openly announced that their war aim is to seize Ukrainian territory and subjugate its government to the Kremlin.
This was evident not just in words, like President Vladimir Putin’s recent interview with Tucker Carlson, but also in deeds. The war began with a failed lightning thrust targeting the Ukrainian capital in Kyiv, during which Russian forces engaged in horrific atrocities: executing entire families and indiscriminately bombing populated areas.
There are many problems with the Ukrainian government it is an imperfect democracy whose battlefield performance has worsened as the war degenerated into a kind of stalemate. Its maximalist stated objective of winning all its territory back through force may very well be impossible.
But the justice of its basic cause is unimpeachable. Ukraine is fighting a classic war of self-defense, a country protecting its people and its sovereignty from a large neighboring dictatorship that wishes to crush it.
And the success of Ukraine’s war hinges crucially on American support.
Why American aid is so important
The United States, labeled “the arsenal of democracy” during World War II, is playing that role again today. America is providing Ukraine with advanced weapons systems, like HIMARS mobile artillery, and ammunition that neither the Ukrainians nor European allies can get to the field on their own in sufficient numbers.
Currently, American funding has been effectively suspended due to the holdup in Congress. We can already see the consequences: Ukrainian fighters, working with a third of the ammunition they need to fight, being forced to retreat.
What happens if the aid dries up indefinitely? Vox’s Josh Keating reported on this extensively, and his sources painted a grim picture:
“A failure to supply military aid to Ukraine isn’t going to cause an immediate Russian victory, but it is going to change the character of the war,” said Franz-Stefan Gady, a defense analyst with the Center for a New American Security who has made multiple research trips to the front lines in Ukraine. Gady said that while Ukraine’s military has traditionally been an “artillery dominant military force,” without shells for those guns, “they would likely start pursuing more asymmetric strategies. That is, withdrawing from certain sectors of the front lines into urban settlements, trying to draw Russian forces into urban combat.” This scenario is … a grim prospect for Ukraine’s civilians. Urban combat always has an extremely high civilian death toll and given the heavy-handed tactics employed by the Russian military, the list of Ukrainian cities and towns entirely decimated by war — Mariupol, Bakhmut — would likely grow.
Even if you see the US government as human rights hypocrites or don’t believe protecting Ukrainian lives is America’s concern, the outcome of this war directly affects US interests.
Currently, the fighting is mostly in Ukraine’s more rural eastern half. If it moves west, into the heart of Ukraine’s largest cities, it moves closer to nearby NATO treaty allies. The odds of a scary spillover incident — of a miscalculation that could trigger a wider war between Russia and the American-led alliance — would rise accordingly.
At present, the best way to limit the risk of war between nuclear-armed powers is to help Ukraine keep Russia physically further away from NATO borders. Continuing aid, by contrast, is unlikely to trigger a direct escalation between Russia and the United States — as the past two years of fighting have shown.
Global security is worth a lot more than $61 billion
Again, it is unlikely that Ukraine will simply defeat Russia and win back all of its territories. The most likely scenario for the war’s end is — like most wars — negotiation.
But as in any negotiation, leverage matters. Political scientists often describe war as itself a process of bargaining, one in which it’s rational for states to continue fighting until the balance of power between the two sides is clear. To bring about a settlement in which Russia’s aggression is punished rather than rewarded, Ukraine needs to be strong on the battlefield.
And if Russia is rewarded, it has an incentive to engage in more provocations on NATO’s frontier. A world where Ukraine is forced to the table by American abandonment is a vastly more dangerous one.
Sixty-one billion dollars sure sounds like a lot of money. But the amount it purchases — sovereignty for an embattled democracy, civilian safety from Russian massacres, and decreasing the odds of a terrifying wider war — is easily worth the price. For Congress to do anything but rush it through would be an appalling betrayal not just of Ukraine, but of America.
