The pic with all the shirtless dudes looks really gay.

It wasn’t easy for charismatic American Frances Tiafoe to keep his cool or put up with the one-man-show antics of his opponent, the powerful-serving Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan, on No. 2 Court with a berth in the fourth round of the Wimbledon Championships at stake. Remarkably, though, Tiafoe kept his focus when it mattered the most.

The No. 23 seed Tiafoe came back from a set down to win, 3-6, 7-6 (1), 7-6 (3), 6-4, and reach the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time in his fifth appearance at the All England Club.

By the middle of the fourth set, the 38th-ranked Bublik pulled out all of his tricks of the trade – dink shots, chip shots, spin and slice, underarm serves. There were plenty of those. It threw off Tiafoe’s timing for a few games. However, Tiafoe recovered and came on strong at the finish. He left the court smiling.

The 28th-ranked Tiafoe hit 45 winners and converted three of nine break points against Bublik, who slammed 25 aces and struck 71 winners but also made 45 unforced errors. Tiafoe outpointed his opponent 148-142.

“It was definitely a tough one,” Tiafoe said in his on-court interview. “At the end, when he was spinning in underarm serves and those antics, I was close to losing my head. I was glad I got through that. He’s a very good player, very talented. There is no game plan against that.

“Obviously, you’ve just got to take care of your side of the court. It’s not easy because he can hit some crazy shots and before you know it, you’re back on serve. And he had a break point to serve for the fourth. I was very happy to get out of there, very lucky and played some good points at the end. But, yeah, there is no game plan for it.”

Next, Tiafoe will face No. 58 David Goffin of Belgium, who came from a set down to beat No. 112 Ugo Humbert of France, 4-6 7-5, 6-2, 7-5 in two hours and 45 minutes on Court 18.

Coco Gauff is into round three of Wimbledon after an impressive straight sets win over Mihaela Buzarnescu.

The teenager, who burst onto the scene at just 15 when she beat Venus Williams in 2019, wowed the Centre Court crowd once more with a 6-2 6-3 win.

Gauff seized the early break leaving Buzarnescu trailing 3-1 after just 12 minutes.

Some devastating serving saw the 18-year-old a hold to love for 5-2 was followed by a break for the set.
The American was made to wait for the start of the second set as her opponent required a long comfort break.
The delay seemed to do little to halt Gauff’s momentum as she continued to put pressure on Buzarnescu’s serve while dominating on her own.

The Romanian’s resistance was finally broken as she sent a forehand wide on a lengthy rally for 5-3 and handing Gauff the opportunity to serve for the match.
Gauff raced through the final game with another hold to love, finishing with two stunning aces to bring the Centre Court crowd to their feet.

Op is a troll. But it's interesting that these statements bother men or women. Gay people are not a religion, cult, or gang. So all the attitude and aggression is weird.

There's no reason for him to deny himself a relationship. Just date someone in the same position.

Btw "London girls" = black women

I have to clarify that for the idíots.

She's right. Few people can buy their way into Oxford. And purchase a thesis the school will accept.

Say hi to the London girls for me.

That's exactly the kind of statement you expect from a half-oyinbo born in France.

juman:
Nigeria is worst than yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan.

Don't be ridiculous. That's not funny.

Western propaganda is hardly news. True enough, the north has issues. But people visit all the time with no drama.

Las Vegas is ugly and tacky.

It would be better if Nigeria looked like Miami or even Boston.

uvie66:
Nonsense talk...we want the population to shrink, it is this overpopulation that is causing a lot of problems in Nigeria, most of the people that go out and vote are poor people who makes voting decisions based on how deep the politicians pockets are, not because they want çhange.
Israel with a population of just over 9 million have the same GDP with Nigeria that have 220million inhabitants.

You clearly have no idea how the world really works. Problems in Nigeria are not the result of a large population.

When there's a full moon, they come for it.

We no longer live in the Middle Ages…
When a huge population was needed as manual labor for a thriving society.

Population is a 2-edged sword…
With proper education and healthcare it propels society forward, without it drags us down the pit of Boko Haram hell!

The way some (mostly Northern) Nigerian officials virtually “brag” about Nigeria’s future population projections…
It’s alarming to realize they’re CLUELESS re the potential economic, sociological and environmental TIME-BOMB it could be!

Okay. What do you propose as a solution for a large aging population with no one to take over or care for them? We don't have enough robots or sophisticated enough ones yet.

Who do you think is making/harvesting virtually everything we need and use, transporting it, performing service jobs, performing non-service jobs? Automation hasn't made humans almost unnecessary yet.

Explain how negative population growth benefits a nation.

How about we appreciate "poor" people for having more babies, so the population doesn't shrink and cause problems.

People are bothered by this because they want to have control over you in some way. It doesn't have to be your intimacy preferences. It could be anything.

Just smile and wish them well.

Why not try it?

Like really try. Talk to other guys and find out how they manage in a similar situation.

Maybe you'll find that it changes your life in a lot of positive ways. Maybe you'll have more energy and focus for more productive things. You might feel more clarity or sense of purpose. Think about what you could gain, not lose.

Most of all, you may marry a great woman.

Use this experiment to pour your passion into something else. You may discover something you don't know about yourself. You may start a successful business.

But be honest with her. Tell her that this is challenging for you, but you're going to try. And again, use that energy in a different way. Go out and find things to do. Explore new ways to bond with your partner and have new experiences.

And invite me to the wedding.

btw Op can only be referring to tech positions. No one compares nursing to being an actual doctor. A med tech position, however, is comparable.

clockwisereport:
a radiologist is a medical doctor with specialty in radiology. A radiographer is not a medical doctor

Wow. Re-read my post WHERE I SPECIFICALLY SAID "RADIOGRAPHY TECH" AND "RADIOLOGY TECH." TECH. EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU RUSH TO COMMENT. THANKS.

clockwisereport:
radiology is different from radiography

You're right. Since you're comparing it to nursing, I'm guessing you're referring to tech positions. Radiography techs make significantly less than radiology.

Radiology school is easier. In the job, you don't deal with the dirty aspects of nursing. The pay is okay.

Nursing pays more and has more options. If you have the stomach for it, do it.

You know, a black person being enamored with that physical feature has to be one of the clearest examples of severe mental health issues.

ETA: I'd even go as far as to say, it should be considered an actual mental illness.

The only problem is when they and people who actually date them try to normalize it.

[joking]I met more big booty girls. [/joking]

Go online and look for remote opportunities. You'll definitely make more than that for even a basic part-time clerical job. Once you get enough experience, you can get an American salary.

Btw Nursing is worth whatever hard work you have to put in. It will not disappoint. And you will have a lot of options in your career.

And to all of you current and future nurses, nothing but respect and appreciation.

Scammer thread.

A leader of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission said he has asked Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores over China-related data security concerns.

The wildly popular short video app is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, which faced U.S. scrutiny under President Donald Trump.

Brendan Carr, one of the FCC's commissioners, shared via Twitter a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai. The letter pointed to reports and other developments that made TikTok non-compliant with the two companies' app store policies.

"TikTok is not what it appears to be on the surface. It is not just an app for sharing funny videos or meme. That's the sheep's clothing," he said in the letter. "At its core, TikTok functions as a sophisticated surveillance tool that harvests extensive amounts of personal and sensitive data."

Alphabet, Apple and TikTok did not immediately respond to CNBC requests for comment.

Carr's letter, dated June 24 on FCC letterhead, said if the Apple and Alphabet do not remove TikTok from their app stores, they should provide statements to him by July 8.

The statements should explain "the basis for your company's conclusion that the surreptitious access of private and sensitive U.S. user data by persons located in Beijing, coupled with TikTok's pattern of misleading representations and conduct, does not run afoul of any of your app store policies," he said.

Trump nominated Carr in 2018 to a five-year term with the FCC. The Senate confirmed in December that the commission's chair, Jessica Rosenworcel, would stay on for another five-year term.

Carr's letter cited a BuzzFeed News report from earlier in the month that said recordings of TikTok employee statements indicated engineers in China had access to U.S. data between September 2021 and January 2022.

The BuzzFeed report included a statement from a TikTok spokesperson.

It said: "We know we're among the most scrutinized platforms from a security standpoint, and we aim to remove any doubt about the security of US user data. That's why we hire experts in their fields, continually work to validate our security standards, and bring in reputable, independent third parties to test our defenses."

On June 17, the same day as the BuzzFeed report, TikTok announced it was routing all of U.S. user traffic to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and was moving U.S. users' private data from its own data centers in the U.S. and Singapore to Oracle cloud servers in the U.S.

Look, there's no mystery. People have written and talked about racism extensively. This thread serves no purpose except for racist rētards to sexually gratify themselves with.

And ultimately racism itself is akin to men who sexually assault minors. "Racists" are rētarded psychopaths satisfying some sick urge to act out on specific groups of people in bizarre ways.

Don't feed the trolls.

Greystone:
They gave us Keanu Reeves as well, so I also forgive them

Respectfully, that's f**king disgusting.
