Curse you Perry the Platypus! You may seem cute and harmless, but I know your true identity. You are none other than a secret agent working for the Organization Without a Cool Acronym (OWCA). Your mission? To foil the evil plans of the dastardly Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. Every time I think I have finally succeeded in my plan for world domination, you come swooping in, wearing your fedora hat and carrying your secret spy gadgets. How dare you thwart my carefully crafted schemes! You may be a semi-aquatic egg-laying mammal, but you possess remarkable intelligence and resilience.
Among the giants Carolos could face are Ugo Humbert, Matteo Berrettini, and Milos Raonic.
And I haven t done as well in other tournaments, so I know every match that I can win and points on the rankings that I can try to gain can be important for the rest of the year. The protective ring of town walls and gates was closed by the River Boyne on its southern flank which contained the development of the flourishing medieval town.
How dare you thwart my carefully crafted schemes! You may be a semi-aquatic egg-laying mammal, but you possess remarkable intelligence and resilience. With your quick thinking and resourcefulness, you always manage to outsmart me at every turn. It's infuriating! It seems like no trap or invention I come up with can ever catch you.
Novak Djokovic beaten by Holger Rune in Italian Open quarter-finals
Holger Rune upset world number one Novak Djokovic to reach the semi-finals of the Italian Open.
The 20-year-old Dane came through 6-2 4-6 6-2 against the defending champion in a rain-hit encounter in Rome.
Seventh seed Rune raced through the opening set in 39 minutes before Djokovic was seen to by the physio early in the second and given some medication before the weather forced play to be suspended.
Top seed Djokovic – who beat Britain’s Cameron Norrie in a feisty fourth-round match – levelled the match soon after the resumption, but it was Rune who pulled clear in the decider.
Rune, making his tournament debut, opened a 4-0 lead after a double break before closing out the match for successive victories in his matches against the Serbian.
“It’s really a big win for me,” Rune said in his on-court interview.
“Obviously I did it last year in Paris as well, but every match is a huge challenge for me when I play against Novak.
“He is one of the greatest that’s ever played the game. I knew I had to be at my best and I said it yesterday, and I was today.
“I am super proud of myself and I enjoyed every moment out there, but I stay humble of course. I have a lot to achieve.”
Both players had clashed with chair umpire Mohamed Lahyani during the match.

World number seven Rune was less than impressed with a line call during the second set from Lahyani, who was involved in a row with Britain’s Andy Murray in his first round defeat by Fabio Fognini. “You’re an absolute joke man,” the Dane said.
Djokovic then lost his cool over the delay in which Lahyani gave out the score in Italian and then English.
“What are you acting here or what? Why do you call the score for 20 seconds? Just call the score. For God’s sake,” said Djokovic, who had been warned about exceeding the maximum time of 25 seconds between points.
Djokovic will now turn his attention towards the French Open, which starts on May 28. “I know I can always play better,” he said, quoted on the ATP Tour website.
“Definitely I am looking forward to working on various aspects of my game, of my body, hopefully getting myself in 100 per cent shape, that is the goal.
“I always like my chances in Grand Slams against anybody on any surface, best-of-five, so let’s see how it goes.”
Reflecting on his defeat to Rune, the world number one said: “He was just better. He played too good for me for most parts of the match.
“I did have a bad start of the third set. I think that’s where the match kind of shifted to his side. He kept his nerves and deserved to win.”
Rune insisted he did not know the ball had bounced twice and Cerundolo reserved most of his ire for the umpire while echoing Norrie and Pouille’s call for video replays.
It's as if you have some kind of secret power that keeps you one step ahead of me. How is it possible? Are you some kind of superhero in disguise? I curse the day you infiltrated my evil lair and turned my world upside down. Ever since then, you have become my greatest nemesis, always there to foil my plans and expose my weaknesses. But mark my words, Perry the Platypus, I will not be defeated. I will continue to devise new traps, invent powerful gadgets, and dream up sinister plans to finally put an end to your meddling ways. So, curse you, Perry the Platypus! You may be a formidable opponent, but I will never give up. Our battles will continue, and one day, I will emerge victorious. Prepare yourself for the ultimate showdown, where good will clash with evil, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance..
