Did you know Sussex has its own dialect? Once widely spoken, it's mostly gone the way of the dinosaurs.

But we think it's time to bring it back.

We're starting with...Dumbledore! Not a wisened wizard but old Sussex for bumblebee!

I always feel it’s overlooked by everyone, as it’s isn’t a Poirot or Marple, so always a pleasure to encourage everyone to discover or re-read! I’d love for there to be a decent faithful tv version as well.
Hurrah it’s my absolute favourite ⭐ enjoy!!

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn! 👀

If there's one thing Elena Rybakina is not going to do, is panic.

So, after Iga Swiatek took the opening set, the Kazakh stayed calm and focused, and absolutely demolishes the world #2 in the final two sets, 3-6, 6-1, 6-0.

Can clinch a spot in the semis if Anisimova wins today.

CAM NORRIEEEEEE 🎾 ⭐
CAM YOU BELIEVE IT!?!

I know we're at the ass end of the season and everyone is exhausted.

But this is still a massive win for Cam Norrie.

The former world #8 scores the biggest win of his career in Paris, taking down world #1 Carlos Alcaraz, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, to reach round 3.

Vacherot and Rinderknech aren't only literal cousins.

Vacherot is a French name that means "person who takes care of cows".

Rinderknech is a German name that means "person who takes care of cattle."

Cowboy final in Shanghai.
