Great US Open?

 Novak Djokovic fans won’t agree 

Correct, they won't agree.   The reasons are obvious.   State Sponsored bias against personal health decisions in this instance has support among the tennis media who have the same political desires.   Read the article and see if you can't determine by the words and tone that there is animus against Novak.  If you see that, you can then also see that all the words that accompany it are simply to bolster the position.  

Cold or warm water during a match?

I've read that cold water stops digestion which probably means it impedes blood flow and circulation, so it's less of a tax on the system to use warm water.

 Still, to say cold water is harmful runs up against nature since had to take water at whatever temp it was available such as in cold mountain streams or in winter from a well.. 

I'm guessing the negative effects are marginal for normal day-to-day consumption.

Politics has ruined men's Tennis Rankings- US OPEN TENNIS

One player missing from the lineup would have likely changed this whole discussion.  How is Rudd OR Alcaraz justifiably looking at #1? The rankings are a mess thanks to politics.
