Luke Johnson’s debut poetry collection portrays a dream world linked to a stark reality where generational trauma is recognized as an artifact of mind, a collection of leaping memories that haunt and possess. Not a linear drama per se, for here a wound is not what happens, but what happens in…
Rome, GA D SF: Luke Johnson/Sem Verbeek [2] def. Alexis Galarneau/Edan Leshem 6-1, 6-2 mid-match stats (2nd set)
📸 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)
The vibe was not to be for Galarneau/Leshem, considering how solid L. Johnson/Verbeek was from the very start. And the setup truly helped, all aspects considered.
In service games, for example, the 4 aces they scored strengthened the accuracy of their service games. They relied on the second serves more than the first, winning 91% of their points from there. That was also the non-existent aspect for Galarneau/Leshem (added by 2 double faults), which was the reason the former went after that.
On the other hand, Galarneau/Leshem had their chances to break, with just 1, but even it was fumbled. L. Johnson's swift returns (and some accurate closing points) partially carried it for them in some occasions (while Verbeek also did his part, including keeping Galarneau/Leshem off the balance), resulting in their ability to convert 4 out of 9 break points. As a result, this straightforward victory had it for them.
In the finals, L. Johnson/Verbeek will take on Gabriel Decamps/Alex Rybakov, who managed to take out Daniel Cukierman/Joshua Paris 7-5, 6-3 in a close match. While the recap for this one will come really soon, an entertaining final awaits tomorrow, considering the form of both pairs!
This tradition has been passed down through countless generations. And I jumped the line. And not only did you go through without permission or prep, but you did it old-school, with a diviner in a kree temple. Uh, that hasn't happened for thousands of years.
i really liked how in glass onion they included in Blanc & his bf Hugh Grant a mirror to the holmes/watson relationship, which in the modern day is IMMEDIATELY irrefutably read as gay, to take a huge dig at the homophobic Doyle relatives who have been doggedly refusing that fact for like 100 years lmfao
...and the efficacy showed itself once again. L. Johnson's swift returns were one of those that carried the flow for this team apart from their established service game, but this match ended in something else.
Down break point, during his second serve, Leshem pulled an underarm serve, only for Verbeek to smash the way to break around 4 shots later, enabling them an opportunity to serve for the match. Although their 2 match points were saved because of a swift return and failed shot, they managed to convert it at the expense of Leshem's forehand error, which made L. Johnson shank because it almost hit him while it was too far from being in.
More straightforward indeed, but the second seeds were on another level. A (possibly late) recap will follow, while on the other court...
