The world number 26 pulled out of the France pre-final training camp Monday with an unspecified injury. “I’m extremely disappointed to announce my absence from the final. I’m fully behind my team to go for a fresh victory,” Gasquet said on Twitter. Gasquet drops out of an already depleted squad and his versatility as a fine doubles partner will also be missed. Gasquet was originally called up by former French Open winner and France team captain Yannick Noah, alongside Lucas Pouille, the just back from injury Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Jeremy Chardy, Nicholas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert....

Even though he bashed the Marvel Cinematic Universe as “despicable,” Peter Ramsey, one of the directors of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, previously went on the record to say, “Francis has seen it and was very complimentary.” So Coppola’s feelings on the genre aren’t as simple as headlines make it out to be, and as it turns out, Coppola is a fan of Deadpool.

The scoreline rarely tells the entire story though, and presented below is the old one-two-three-four that I took away from the game- The match was as close on the pitch as it was one-sided off it I remember nodding my head sagely before cracking witticisms like ‘If we were playing Fantasy Football, this match would already be over’ prior to kickoff. And nor could it be considered as hyperbole. Arsenal’s playing XI were worth as much as City’s front two, City boasted a 100% record at home, and Arsenal were playing catch-up after a horror start to the season....

Pompeo on Sunday criticized the Biden administration for easing sanctions, saying it’s allowed construction to continue on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project between Russia and Germany. Pompeo echoed the complaints of many Republicans and Trump administration allies who have accused Biden of being “soft” with foreign policy as he attends European summits this week. But Wallace confronted Pompeo on why his State Department failed to condemn the poisoning of Russian dissident and Putin critic Alexei Navalny and why Russia was able to complete 90 percent of the gas pipeline by the end of Trump’s term in the White House....

In a segment on Fox and Friends on Friday morning, Rivera described Trump as the “prime architect” of Operation Warp Speed, the U.S. government program which funded the vaccine development. “But for him we would still be waiting into the grim winter for these amazing miraculous medical breakthroughs,” he said.

Ingraham said that while the past three weeks in which Donald Trump has refused to accept defeat and continued to allege that the election was “stolen” due to baseless claims of mass voter fraud have been “unpleasant and disappointing” for his supporters, it is time to accept Biden will enter the White House next year. “As much as we wish things were different, this is where things stand tonight,” she said after a tweet from Trump thanking GSA head Emily Murphy for her decision appeared on screen....

“What frightens me about a Bernie Sanders or an Elizabeth Warren is like, they think that government is—more government—is the answer,” Belfort lamented in the clip from right-wing Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren’s show No Interruption, which was aired during a Wednesday morning segment of Fox & Friends. “It drives me nuts inside,” added the former stockbroker, who pleaded guilty to charges of fraud and other crimes back in 1999....

“It’s like, if you don’t speak Spanish, don’t speak Spanish,” Morris, a theologian and former Catholic priest, said during a segment of Fox & Friends on Sunday morning. “And I would say the same thing if faith is not a big part of your life, if religion is not a big part of your life, don’t fake it. Because people know it and just don’t do it.” After Fox & Friends played a montage of Democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls talking about their Christian faith, Morris agreed with the show’s co-host Pete Hegseth who suggested that the Democrats were pandering to voters....

“The president would do himself a solid and do his party a solid to take some time today to clarify about his white supremacist statement,” Kilmeade said during a segment on Fox and Friends Thursday morning. “Whether it was the franticness of the night, but a lot of people are forced to explain it today that have other things to do—like, for example, get his Supreme Court justice confirmed.”...

Support for the president’s re-nomination within his own party has solidified, however, increasing by five points since February....

One of the bigger nods to the franchise came with WandaVision, when Evan Peters, who played Quicksilver in the Fox movies, showed up to play an imposter Quicksilver in Wanda’s idyllic fantasy life.
