In his surprise return to the ATP 500 event in Basel this year, Novak Djokovic could not quite produce the run he would have hoped for, as he fell to Jan-Lennard Struff in his second match of the tournament.
Although it was a tightly contested encounter, with all three sets reaching the 5-5 mark, Djokovic eventually lost after making some uncharacteristic errors in the final-set tiebreak, handing Struff his first-ever victory against him in their ninth meeting.
At this stage of his career, Djokovic is far removed from needing results at ATP 500 tournaments. However, he has consistently stated that, regardless of his age, he always plays to win. More importantly, this defeat has dented his hopes of achieving something he was particularly keen on when returning to Basel: securing his place at the ATP Finals in Turin in just over two weeks.
Djokovic entered Basel ranked 12th in the Race to Turin, an event for which only the top eight players qualify. This is a significant change from previous years, when the Serbian would typically have secured his qualification by this stage of the season, even if he subsequently chose not to participate, as he did in each of the past two years. The Serbian needed a deep run in Basel to strengthen his position and avoid having to rely entirely on the Paris Masters to secure qualification.
However, following this defeat, Djokovic will now have to do precisely that. Given the current landscape of the live rankings, he will need a deep run in Paris to put himself in a strong position to qualify. At the time of writing, Djokovic sits 11th in the Race to Turin, with Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton already having secured their places.

Pat McAfee did not enjoy his time in Utah last weekend as "College GameDay" was in Salt Lake City for the Utes' win over the Houston Cougars. The day before the broadcast the college shared a social media post with students saying things about McAfee that made him fear for his safety and alluded to the ****** assination of Charlie Kirk. He later said that he was advised to wear a bulletproof vest.
One person who does not feel any sympathy for McAfee is Michelle Beadle, the former ESPN personality who currently hosts "Run It Back" on FanDuel TV. Beadle appeared on Thursday's episode of "The Dan Le Batard Show" and was asked to weigh in on McAfee's week.
Beadle made the case that no woman in media could be as "soft" as McAfee and insisted that she was "enjoying every single second" of the fallout this week.

"Just want to remind all your viewers, your listeners, everyone who is fans of you guys… We are constantly told as women that we're hysterical, we're too emotional, we can't handle things," said Beadle. "I can't tell you how many death and rape threats I've gotten via social media in the last, I don't know, since 2009 when we got on Twitter originally. I could never be that soft. Never. This has been one of the softest, and we've seen quite a few from some of the people at the top of this food pyramid of sports media… one of the softest reactions to something that was so ridiculously unserious."

Emma Roberts gave her strapless Alex Perry sequin gown a Wild West twist with her choice of accessories. The "We're the Millers" actress attended the Clarins x F1 celebration on October 24. Her outfit brought a fresh perspective to eveningwear, blending high-octane red-carpet glamour with playful personality. Photos and videos of her look have since gone viral online.
Posing against a muted champagne backdrop at the Clarins x F1 party, Emma Roberts stood out in a sequin Alex Perry dress. Covered entirely in densely packed sequins, the garment caught the ambient light from every angle, reflecting deep chocolate-brown and warm copper tones with every movement.
The gown featured a clean, straight-across strapless neckline that highlighted her bare shoulders and arms. Further, the sculpted torso skimmed her figure before flowing into a long, floor-sweeping column skirt.
The rich bronze palette added unexpected depth and warmth that harmonized beautifully with her golden-blonde hair and glowing skin.
Roberts added a Western twist to the clean lines of her gown with a hard-shell from Judith Leiber. Known as the Cowboy Hat, Cheyenne featured the iconic shape of a Western cowboy hat and was fully encrusted with glittering champagne-gold crystals.

When Kawhi Leonard became a Toronto Raptor for the first time in the summer of 2018, he looked shellshocked. "There's just more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself," he said, introducing himself to an organization and city he reportedly had no interest in joining.
Leonard had fallen out with his former team, the San Antonio Spurs – one of the most respected franchises in professional sports – due to differences in opinion about an injury that had limited him to just nine games in the 2017-18 season. The Los Angeles native had hoped to end up in southern California, but instead the Raptors risked it all by swapping franchise cornerstone DeMar DeRozan for one year of an injured, malcontent Leonard. It worked: Leonard led the Raptors to their maiden championship on the back of a historic playoff run, averaging 30.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.9 **** ists and 1.7 steals en route. Leonard won his second finals MVP to go alongside the one he had claimed with the Spurs when he helped them to the **** le in 2014.

"The narrative of not wanting to come to this city is gone," the team's president, Masai Ujiri, said at that 2018 press conference, speaking to insecure Raptors fans who had watched American players like Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Chris Bosh leave Toronto since the franchise opened its doors in 1995. "We should move past that. Believe in this city. Believe in yourselves … We are proud of who we are."
But even a historic season wasn't enough to convince Leonard to stay north of the border. After a long and contentious free-agency period managed by his uncle, Dennis Robertson, Leonard spurned the reigning champions in favor of his hometown Los Angeles Clippers. "There wasn't as much anger in 2019 as there was with Vince Carter or some of the other guys who left," says Bruce Arthur, who has covered Leonard since 2018 for the Toronto Star. "I think he was given a little bit of special dispensation because he was going home, because he had delivered a **** le, and because I never felt like there was ever a connection outside of Kawhi the basketball player, with Toronto."

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir finished with four receptions for 34 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why it Matters: Shakir has been seeing a few more targets, along with Keon Coleman, while DJ Moore is sidelined. He is expected to be back in Week 7, so Shakir's time as a regular producer might be taking a hit soon. He remains a WR5 in most fantasy leagues as long as Moore is on the shelf.

We've got one ******* of an SEC season on our hands, huh?
No one is left undefeated, and the top of the table is a four-way tie between Tennessee, Georgia, Ole Miss, and… Kentucky?? And let's be honest, none of their losses were great. Tennessee dropped a home game to Texas, which has looked like a shell for two weeks. Georgia got punked by Auburn (again at home.) Ole Miss got run over by Florida which looks like the best or the worst team in the conference depending on when you tune in. And Kentucky didn't just get beat by Alabama in Lexington… they got waxed.
Mizzou fans might be down in the dumps after the Tigers' embarrassing showing in Oxford, but we're halfway through the season and have no idea how it's going to turn out. For all we know, Mizzou controls its own destiny. So it might as well start on Monday by resting up and getting ready for the Halloween showdown against Arky. Hopefully the rest of the conference can keep the chaos rolling in Week 8 and create an opening for Eli Drinkwitz's squad.
Some interesting lines this week for those of you watching. Auburn is getting no respect after waltzing into Athens and taking down Georgia, as they're giving 8.5 points to Lane Kiffin's up-and-down Bayou Bengals. Meanwhile, South Carolina is a one score favorite over conference leader Tennessee, while Texas – which is currently considering benching its two-year starter!! – is a 3.5-point favorite over an Ole Miss team that just beat a fellow ranked conference opponent by four scores.
Think you have any clue what's going to happen this week? Good for you. Check out the opening odds at FanDuel and press your luck. Because that's all you can count on at this point.

Sydney Sweeney's blonde bombshell aesthetic just might be hereditary.
The "Euphoria" actress and the late Marilyn Monroe are distant relatives, according to a new MyHeritage study shared with USA TODAY.
The genealogy research site notes the actresses are ninth cousins, once removed, meaning that there is a one-generation gap between them.
The Hollywood darlings share the common ancestors Ezra Perry and Elizabeth Burgess, 17th-century British settlers in Massachusetts, through Sweeney's father, Steven Sweeney, and Monroe's biological father, Charles Stanley Gifford, according to the online genealogy company.
The Perry-Burgess lineage also includes former President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey has resurfaced after reports suggested the couple "regret" statements they made while speaking with the media mogul.
The Duke and ****** ss of Sussex are supposedly preparing to apologize for remarks that included allegations that a royal family member had made comments about their son Prince Archie's skin color.
Other reports, however, indicate that claims of an impending apology are not true, as sources close to Prince Harry and Meghan have dismissed them as "nonsense" and "total rubbish."

According to reports, Harry and Meghan wish to ask forgiveness for the interview that further strained relations between the Sussexes and the royal family now that they have returned to the UK.

Ukraine on Thursday accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians after 30 people were killed when two buses were blown up in the frontline city of Kramatorsk, in one of the deadliest single attacks for weeks.
Photos posted by local authorities showed the burnt-out metal shell of the vehicles, with the blurred-out images of bodies and debris strewn across the road.
Police said the buses were hit with a glide bomb.
The strikes come just a day after five children were among 22 killed when a Russian missile struck a five-storey apartment block in Pryluky, in the northern Chernigiv region.
"The Russians are deliberately targeting civilians," Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin said, accusing Moscow of flouting "every conceivable rule of warfare and norm of international humanitarian law".

A new study by MyHeritage revealed that Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney is related to the late Hollywood bombshell Marilyn Monroe.
The study (via The Hollywood Reporter) showed that the actresses are ninth cousins, once removed. Sweeney and Monroe share a mutual ancestor, Ezra Perry (c. 1625–1689). According to the study, Perry was an early English settler in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
MyHeritage director of research Roi Mandel called the discovery "incredible." After all, Sweeney has been compared to Monroe in the past. He raved, "Uncovering their shared branch was incredible, it's a powerful reminder that humanity is one vast family tree, and when we dig deep, we uncover how remarkably interconnected we all are."

Prince Harry and Prince William's feud might worsen if an ex-royal releases a tell-all book. According to a source, the Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, might still have a lot to say about the Royal Family. It was said that they have kept their allegiance with Sarah Ferguson, who seemed to be planning a tell-all. Harry is allegedly "going all-out to ruin" William through his allies.
Prince William allegedly suspects Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are deliberately keeping Sarah Ferguson on their side. A source told Closer that the Sussexes have been "in touch" with Fergie and Earl Spencer. While the latter already dropped a bombshell Diana memoir, the former **** ss of York might still be in talks.
"While Sarah is insisting she's not going to write a tell-all book, she is apparently in talks, and if the money is right, she is definitely considering a memoir," the insider said. Furthermore, they claimed that Harry and Markle have allegedly been "trying to keep her on their side."
This way, the couple would reportedly have "some sort of control over what comes out." "They are keeping this allegiance firmly behind closed doors, but it's clear Harry is going all-out to ruin his brother, Prince William," they added.
Meanwhile, the senior royals, including King Charles, William, and Middleton, have seemingly been concerned about Ferguson's next move. They have already been dealing with Earl Spencer's memoir, which showed the king in a negative light. Now if Fergie did a tell-all, the royals fear it would be another crisis for the firm. "For Charles, William and Kate, it's another potential ticking time bomb," the source said.

Like a toddler, Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) seems to be growing up fast.
No longer is it the speculative aviation stock of yesterday, the company with big ambitions but zero revenue and nothing to its name but an experimental aircraft. There are still unknowns to be solved -- how to scale its business while keeping costs under control -- but if last month's flight demonstrations in Texas showed us anything, it's that Joby is getting very close to turning its air taxi dreams into a commercial operation.

Where, then, will Joby Aviation be in three years? And how much will a $5,000 investment today be worth by then?
In a nutshell, Joby wants to commercialize a passenger electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Although it does not have regulatory approval to fly paying customers in an eVTOL, I believe it will in three years.

You've probably heard the cliché "it takes money to make money." And there's some truth to the premise. In the business world, you'll usually need at least a little seed capital to start.
If you're an investor with average income, however, you might be surprised how easily you could become a millionaire. And not from brilliantly lucky stock-picking, either; attempting to outperform the overall market can undermine your performance, in fact. The key, rather, is making disciplined contributions to the cause -- no matter how seemingly modest -- even when you don't want to make them. That's often when sticking with your plan helps the most.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
And $500 per month would do the trick, given enough time. Here's how, and why.
There's no denying that in the economic environment of 2026, coming up with an extra $500 per month can feel like a pretty tall order. For most households willing to buckle down on discretionary spending, though, it's possible. And if you're willing to invest that money in an S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index fund that matches the broad market's average annual gain of 10%, in 30 years you'd be sitting on a little over $1.1 million (or slightly less if you're not contributing this cash to a tax-sheltering retirement account).

MOSCOW, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Russia's health watchdog said on Tuesday that no cases of plague had been detected among people who had come ‌into contact with a Siberian plague institute laboratory worker who died ‌last week.
Authorities say the 28-year-old woman died on Friday from pneumonia of an as-yet unestablished origin, in a case that has prompted international concern, including from US President Donald Trump.
Rospotrebnadzor, the watchdog, said in a statement that no infectious diseases had been reported among the staff of the same plague research institute in Irkutsk over the past 10 ‌days and that extensive testing ⁠had found no microorganisms in the deceased woman's body linked to her work.
Elena Sofina, deputy head of the Shelekhov district near Irkutsk, ⁠where a local hospital was placed under quarantine, said that what she called "a dangerous diagnosis" had not been confirmed.
She added that 60% of those placed under quarantine as a precaution had already been released. Local media said around 200 people had previously ‌been quarantined.

Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson is keeping a close eye on the latest royal drama, with a source claiming she's looking to use the turmoil to her own advantage.
"Sarah is holding off on a book deal for now, figuring that by showing loyalty, or at least keeping her mouth shut, it's only fair that they cut her a break and help her with a path back towards respectability or, at the very least, a place to live," the source tells Examiner. "They don't need any more enemies."
As Examiner previously reported, King Charles III and Queen Camilla have both been enraged by the Tuesday, September 22 release of Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. In the tell-all, Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, alleges the monarch "sounded giddily elated" after Di's 1997 death. The 62-year-old also claims Buckingham Palace denied the late Princess of Wales' funeral wishes.
Through an official statement released to Page Six, the king, 77, in an unprecedented move, suggested his former brother-in-law's account was clouded by "grief."
Days after the bombshell book hit shelves, Fergie, 66, shot down rumors she was writing her own memoir to People.

King Charles and Queen Camilla's marriage has reportedly reached a "breaking point" in the wake of Earl Spencer's bombshell memoir about his late sister, Princess Diana, ******* led "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister." The newly released book has created quite the buzz among the royal watchers. Now, according to a new report, Charles Spencer's Diana memoir has caused intense damage to the married life of the monarch and the Camilla consort of the United Kingdom.
Earl Spencer's much-talked-about memoir, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," has reportedly been damaging King Charles and Queen Camilla's marriage. As reported by Woman's Day, a source told them that "There's a lot of talk that she and Charles are well and truly at their breaking point, and that this is affecting the marriage in a very significant way." According to the source, "The growing consensus is that this Spencer book is well and truly the last straw."
Furthermore, the insider said to the news outlet that Charles cannot stop talking about Spencer's memoir about the late Princess Diana and everything it rehashed. According to the insider, the monarch has been feeling furious about the content of the book, and he has been struggling to accept that there is nothing he can do to stop it. Per the publication, the insider claimed that the monarch is currently on the "edge," with worries about the "calamity" the royal family might face next.
In the meantime, per the publication, the source further claimed that Camilla has been "trying to be sympathetic but she doesn't have a whole lot of patience because she feels attacked, too." According to the source, the Queen consort of the United Kingdom "is finding the overall atmosphere at Clarence House too much to bear at present." "It's no secret that she and the King aren't in a good place," the source also added.

A royal expert claimed that Princess Diana loved King Charles until the very end. Moreover, she reportedly believed their relationship might have worked if they had met when they were a little older. The remark came after Charles Spencer released a memoir about Diana containing several bombshell claims, particularly about the monarch.
Princess Diana allegedly thought she met King Charles "at the wrong time." Ingrid Seward, the royal author, recently spoke about her conversations with Diana and her feelings about Charles with The Royal Observer. The comments come after the release of Charles Spencer's new memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. The book covers Diana's life, her marriage to Charles and the events surrounding her death. Spencer makes several claims about the former Prince of Wales, including allegations about his reaction following Diana's death.
Diana's brother mentioned that Charles sounded "giddily elated" during a phone call following Diana's death. He also wrote that the then-Prince of Wales said people would forget Diana "soon enough." Seward shared her thoughts on the matter and questioned whether Diana would approve of the allegations currently being made about Charles. The royal author said, "[The accusations are] the last thing in the world that Diana ever would have wanted, because she loved Charles. She loved him right until the end."
Seward also said that Diana wished they could have gotten back together. The renowned author said that Diana told her that had they met at the right time, when they were a little older, their relationship might have worked.
After their divorce was finalized in 1996, Seward said Diana and Charles were getting along quite well. She added, "There was a moment of togetherness, and Diana actually said to me, 'It's so sad because we could have conquered the world.'" Charles and Diana tied the knot on July 29, 1981, and had two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. Their formal separation was announced in 1992, and their divorce was finalized four years later in 1996.

You can always rely on Fashion Month to churn out the trends, not just for apparel, but for hair, too. Over the last few weeks, the runway has given us sculptural frizz, combover-esque bangs, creative crimping, and countless other looks that make you wonder whether all of the lead hairstylists have colluded to make your morning routine a little more difficult. But behold: the trend we didn't see coming… back. In the ultimate model-off-duty moment, Gigi Hadid was seen wearing a humble zig-zag headband—the quintessential late-'90s and early-2000s hair accessory.
After walking in Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2027 show on October 4, Hadid was spotted leaving the venue with her long, blonde hair pushed back by a tortoiseshell scalloped headband. Also known as a shark-tooth or comb headband (depending on who you ask, where they grew up, and how old they are), the style has those unmistakable wavy teeth that grip the hair while keeping the face free of any stray tendrils.
Hadid wore it with an otherwise wonderfully uncomplicated look: a loose, white **** on-down left open over a white bra, jeans cinched with a brown leather belt, and white mesh ballet flats decorated with tiny floral embroidery. She carried a brown Miu Miu bag, making the whole thing feel less like a carefully engineered Paris Fashion Week outfit and more like someone running errands after class in 2002—if that person happened to be a supermodel.

Tom Cruise paid homage his memorable Risky Business scene during his appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show this week.
While visiting to promote his new film Digger, the actor took "old records off the shelf" while dancing to the cover of 1978 Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band classic "Old Time Rock & Roll." While playing Joel Goodsen in Risky Business, released in 1983, Cruise danced to the song in a crisp shirt, his underwear and a pair of black sunglasses.
While he wore jeans this time around, the actor pulled out a similar pair of sunnies for his Spirit Tunnel experience, and even danced with a crew members before hitting the stage.

It's clear that the Princess of Wales has entered her autumn style era. Now that October is upon us, the 44-year-old has embraced the seasonal change with a plethora of darker-toned items.
Last week, Kate hosted a secret tea party for Three Peaks Challenge participants and their families at Windsor Castle. The royal looked elegant in a chocolate brown-coloured belted dress by the famously English heritage label Burberry. The structured fit-and-flare silhouette offered a clean, monochromatic look.
A new item in Kate's wardrobe, the £1,760 tailored dress is cut in a fit-and-flare silhouette that's cinched in with a striking, gold twist-lock belt. It also has slip pockets, which Kate was spotted appearing to use at certain moments. The dress appears to be bespoke as the sleeves are three-quarter length, whereas the frock on the shelves featured capped sleeves.

A year earlier, Kate wore the very same dress, but in black. During the German State visit in 2025, the mother of three was pictured viewing exhibits from the Royal Collection relating to Germany in the Green Drawing Room at Windsor Castle, alongside her husband, Prince William.

Chrishell Stause was left unimpressed with her ex-boyfriend Jason Oppenheim's enthusiastic praise of Elon Musk's Tesla technology.
The "Selling Sunset" star mocked Oppenheim for praising Tesla and announcing plans to get vehicles with Full Self-Driving technology for his employees.
OK! Magazine reported that Oppenheim recently shared a video of himself using Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology during a commute from Newport Beach to The Oppenheim Group's Los Angeles office. Oppenheim praised the technology, saying that the 1-hour, 15-minute commute would be a breeze. He claimed that the car would drive itself and stop at his office parking lot without him needing to touch the steering wheel.
"This is the most important video that I've ever posted," Oppenheim began. He praised the technology as "so safe" and explained why he had decided to part ways with his Bentley.
"I have no need for it. I'm not going to drive it," he said. "I'm going to be getting self-driven around from here on out," he added.
