And not since 1989, when eventual champion Michael Chang beat Ivan Lendl in the fourth round at #RolandGarros has a teenager come back from two sets down to beat a former Grand Slam champion. Joao Fonseca is in good company.

The 2026 #FrenchOpen has been thrown wide open after the exits of Sinner and Djokovic, ensuring a new male Grand Slam champion will make his debut on June 7. Not since the 2020 US Open, when Thiem beat Zverev, has a tennis major been so unpredictable before the second week starts

Very cool 😎 but could I dare wear them in public? These would be easier to steal than mobile phones in snatch thefts and could be magnets for muggers. And not just on Indian streets - anywhere in the world #RayBanMeta

The new US fee structure will first apply to the upcoming H-1B lottery cycle for new applicants, and not to current visa holders or to renewals.

This is a story about a bird and a family. But this is no ordinary bird, and no ordinary family.

The Spix's Macaws, the world's rarest parrot, and billionaire Ambani family's zoo. A deep dive

The last man to successfully defend his #USOpen crown was Roger Federer in 2008 with his 5 consecutive titles. If Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz keep it up, the Swiss King's Open Era men's title records at both Wimbledon and New York might seem achievable in the coming decade.

@adityakalra Felicitaciones 🎉

@csaikat22 Ha! The producer commented on my Insta and the mystery is solved.

[Toe Knee @TonyTharakan]

Pleasantly surprised to spot my not-so-common Indian name pop up as a movie character's name in a major 2025 Malayalam drama, a police superintendent no less. Producer Edward Anthony does a fine job in this cameo, his first acting gig.

A UK colleague asked if Creme Eggs were available in India. I don’t know. But if Britons are going berserk to this extent, it must really be a gastronomical delight.

I discussed with a room full of journalists how AI is reshaping global fact-checking efforts. We need to keep a close watch on where it’s going - but can we?! https://t.co/XdWGSZkcSI

Anticipating longer flying time to international fliers following Pakistan closing its airspace to Indian operators, DGCA has asked airlines to provide proper communication and in-flight catering services to passengers

🍤India’s shrimp industry in troubled waters as Trump tariffs hit its seafood market

India is top U.S. supplier for shrimp, serving Walmart/Kroger; Farmers stressed as rates have fallen. 2,000 shipping containers stuck at old prices. Ecuador lurks

Many are now indulging in a new luxury: bathrooms and toilets, making it an attractive market for Kohler Co., Toto and Hansgrohe Group. Yet this is a tale of two Indias - one where many still defecate in the open and another where the nouveau riche are splurging. The story of Rajat Ghai in Kanpur who wants an “eye candy” bathroom explains that. Read the deep dive story by @DhwaniPandya @Reuters. READ https://t.co/yQTOrRBX70

@cartergrewup Let’s wait and see. Rooting for Sinner to defend.

[Toe Knee @TonyTharakan]

I wasn't expecting that. Is Jannik Sinner's crown in danger? Novak #Djokovic is targeting an 11th trophy at Melbourne Park and a record 25th Grand Slam title, a milestone he currently shares with Margaret Court. Will Andy #Murray be the X factor? #AusOpen
