the Paul/Diallo match has me HOOKED

Chicago Ch F: Gabriel Diallo [4] def. Yunchaokete Bu [6] 6-3, 7-6(3) Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

G. Diallo's concise groundstrokes kept things going as he successfully brought Y. Bu's balance off in the middle of the first set. Even though the latter tried to make adjustments from his forehand side, the former's anticipation helped him to nail the tie-break setup, causing Y. Bu to err his +1 forehand and he stayed solid since. Therefore, even though both players had 1 break point, G. Diallo converted them straight away in the first set, making his 100% break point conversion rate intact.

Besides, G. Diallo's excellent service game carried him a lot in some crucial moments. Serving an outstanding 17 aces than Y. Bu's 4, the former had exceptional first serve winning percentage with 88%, 21% more than Y. Bu, which helped him escape some troubles as the latter tried to raise his game. However, Y. Bu's second serves appeared more vulnerable as he could only win 59% of his second serve points, 16% lesser than G. Diallo's 75%, considering the former double-faulted twice.

This marked G. Diallo's first Challenger title of the year, the third of his career as he rose to a career-high ranking of 148 after several early exits to start the hard-court season. For the Canadian, he received a Special Exempt to partake in the Lexington Challenger, where he will face a qualifier in the first round. He is definitely back on track to start the North American hard-court season.

GABRIEL DIALLO‼️‼️‼️‼️ not a single good service game in the whole set but by god he takes it. he faced a break point on 5 out of his 6 service games. they traded 4 consecutive breaks of serve to take us to a tiebreak where they traded the mini break BUT my boy seals it with an ace. oh also they have had no good forehands it’s something like paul with 3 fh winners vs 11 fh errors and diallo with 2 fh winners vs 17 fh errors 😭 so its kinda flop for flop over here

What If Choices' Race-customizable LIs Had Surnames Reflective Of Their Ethnicity?: An Experiment Just For Fun (Part 2/3)

Info in Part 1

Part 3

HOT COUTURE

Marco Diallo

This face option is described in the asset files as "Black". I did a cursory research and learned that there is a significant Black Italian community of immigrants from Cameroon, so that's my headcanon for him and his family. I chose the Fulani surname Diallo because it starts with a Di like Di Vincenzo.

Marco Diệp

This face option is described in the asset files as "Asian". The most significant Asian Italian community is Chinese Italians, but I didn't find a Chinese surname starting with the sound Di that sounded right to me. So I went with the Vietnamese Diệp.

HOT SHOT

Casey Jamil

These face options are described in the asset files as "Middle Eastern". The Arabic surname Jamil was a spelling match for Jameson, and this spelling appears to be common in Syria and Iraq. So if they had this surname they could be Syrian or Iraqi.

IMMORTAL DESIRES

Cassius Han / Cassandra Han

These face options are described in the asset files as "Asian". The Japanese surname Harada is a spelling match for Harlow but I already used Harada for the LI of Guarded. Also, I keep seeing people comparing the masc face to this one Kpop singer, I forget who, so it gave me the headcanon that these faces are Korean. The Korean surname Han seemed like a pretty solid match for Harlow, and it's also a Chinese surname too so they could be Chinese with this surname. Also I know fem Cas's full name is canonically Cassie but like many others on this internet website I am a Cassandra Harlow truther because I think it sounds better.

Gabriel Almánzar / Gabriela Almánzar

These face options are described in the asset files as "Latinx". Couldn't find any Spanish or Portuguese language surnames that start with "Ad" so I went with a Spanish surname that starts with "A" and retains the "A-al-ar" sounds from Adalhard.

LAWS OF ATTRACTION

Gabe Ryu

This face option is described in the asset files as "Asian". Almost went with the Korean surname Rhee but I already chose it for TPS LI and also I think the Korean surname Ryu looks cooler on a law firm plaque. lol

MS. MATCH

Jack Mansour / Jacqueline Mansour

These face options are described in the asset files as "Arabic". Mansour was a close Arabic-language sound match to Monroe. This spelling seems to be common across all of North Africa and the Middle East. So I guess they could be from any of those places with that surname.

MY TWO FIRST LOVES

Noah Higuchi

This face option is descrbed in the asset files as "Asian". Another LI with a surname starting with "Har" which can correspond with the Japanese surname Harada but I already used that and also "Noah Harada" has too many open "A" sounds in a row for my liking. So I just chose a cool sounding Japanese name starting with the letter H because this face option looks Japanese to me.

Ava Lozano

This face option is described in the asset files as "Hispanic". Lozano was the closest Spanish-language surname I could find to Lawrence. The Spanish form of the first name Lawrence is Lorenzo, but it doesn't appear to be used as a surname like Lawrence is in English-speaking countries.

Mason Jiménez

This face option is described in the asset files as "Hispanic". Couldn't find Spanish-language surnames that start with the same sound as Jennings. If my memory is correct I don't think Spanish has that sound? Jiménez has a lot of the same letters though so? That should work?

THE NANNY AFFAIR

Sam Delgado / Samantha Delgado

These face options are described in the asset files as "Hispanic". I considered the Spanish surname de la Torre because it retained the D-L-T-O sounds from Dalton but I thought Delgado sounded cooler……?

THE PHANTOM AGENT

Karan Gill / Sameera Gill

These face options are described in the files as "Indian". I considered the surnames Giri (broadly Indian, common in Nepal I think?) and Ghauri (common in Pakistan as far as I can tell?) for sound matches for Gray but Gill (Punjabi) sounded cooler. Also there was nothing necessarily wrong with the names Callum and Samara other than I don't like them. So I assigned them new Indian names…….

The far right’s historically high score in the first round of the French legislative elections was reflected in the alarmed headlines of major international media outlets. An “earthquake”, a “staggering collapse” authored by Emmanuel Macron’s “arrogance and disdain for his fellow citizens” were among the reactions. But despite the imminence of the potential catastrophe now facing France – the far right has never been as close to power since the collaborationist Vichy regime – many in the political centre still struggle with the idea of uniting to keep National Rally (RN) out.

Macron irresponsibly conflated the far right and the left during the campaign, claiming that the “two extremes” (right and left) would lead to “civil war”. His rhetoric falsely equated the hateful far right with a coalition of parties on the left (the New Popular Front, NFP) that aspires to equality and social justice. He even adopted the talking points of the far right to attack the left’s “immigrationist” programme.

Macron eventually called for a “broad democratic and republican coalition” in the second round to unite to block “the imminent danger of an absolute majority for the RN”. But it took time for even heavyweights in his party to heed him. Many have refused to withdraw, selfishly risking the election of RN candidates to parliament.

For Yaël Braun-Pivet, president of the national assembly, blocking the RN was not enough of a reason to vote for France Unbowed (LFI), the leading party on the left. Finance minister Bruno Le Maire agreed, opposing the RN unless it meant voting for LFI.

The messaging from Macron’s Ensemble coalition has been mixed: the party announced that candidates would tactically withdraw from constituency races “in favour of candidates capable of defeating the National Rally and with whom we share the values of the Republic”. The statement’s ambiguity, apparently aimed at LFI, left the definition of republican values open to interpretation.

Over the past two years, LFI has faced constant criticism. The party’s clear stance against Islamophobia, in a context where hostility towards Muslims in France is normalised, is often maliciously characterised as a shameless bid to attract Muslim votes. Recently, accusations of antisemitism have intensified due to LFI’s strong support for protecting Palestinian lives in Gaza; the nomination of Rima Hassan, a French-Palestinian refugee, for the European elections; and some members’ refusal to label Hamas a terrorist group.

Like any form of racism, antisemitism is historically and structurally ingrained in France. It has found expression far too often (as have Islamophobia, sexism and transphobia) and LFI must continue to address and combat the antisemitism that persists within its ranks.

But the exclusionof an entire segment of the population is not part of LFI’s programme. According to a new report by the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights, “the majority of antisemitism is manifested among citizens on the right or far right”.

LFI, led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, a staunch critic of Macron, issued a clear directive ahead of the second round: “Nowhere will we allow the RN to prevail. Our stance is unequivocal: no votes, no seats for the RN.” LFI candidates withdrew from races where the RN posed a threat, including against Gérald Darmanin, the rightwing interior minister, who by contrast said he would abstain rather than give LFI his vote in a two-way contest with the RN.

Gabriel Attal, the prime minister, eventually came out with an explicit call on voters to block the RN even if that meant voting for LFI. While many candidates in Macron’s camp have withdrawn from races featuring LFI candidates, some have refused to do so, even at the risk of letting the RN win.

Yet every day brings new examples of the horror the country is plunging into and which an RN victory would exacerbate. Since the dissolution of parliament on 9 June, there has been an increase in racist and homophobic incidents. A Black woman insulted on camera by her white neighbours said the election had opened the floodgates to a climate of intolerance towards people of migrant heritage. A motorist who said he was an RN voter is alleged to have racially insulted and hit a school bus driver after a parking dispute in Val-de-Marne. Racist leaflets demanding that authorities “stop the Blacks” were distributed to residents of a small town in the Yvelines region of northern France. A bakery in Avignon that had hired a Black employee was targeted in an arson attack and daubed with racist graffiti. In Calais, there has been a spate of violent incidents against migrants. I could go on.

This is a foretaste of the kind of atmosphere the National Rally would make mainstream. According to the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights, the normalisation of racism is rising alongside support for the far right. That is hardly surprising when you consider that Mediapart and Libération have investigated RN candidates and have not had to dig far to find examples of the crudest forms of racism – including antiziganism, antisemitism and Islamophobia, sexism, homophobia, conspiracy theories and Nazi nostalgia – fuelling their social media feeds.

Marine Le Pen has managed to rebrand her party, but maintains strong ties with groups and builds allyship with European parties that are less cautious about hiding their extremism. She tries to distance herself from the legacy of the party co-founded by her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, with former Nazi collaborationists. He has long been accused of torturing civilians while serving as a paratrooper during the Algerian revolution and was convicted on charges of minimising the Holocaust.

But Le Pen’s party not only pursues a hardline anti-immigrant policy. It aims to create different categories of French nationals, stripping dual citizens of rights.

This is what the RN represents at its core and why it must be prevented from prevailing next Sunday. Stopping the far right takes courage and moral clarity: politicians need to put their individual interests aside in the interest of everyone. We cannot waver on our principles, and risk pushing France into a situation from which it will not recover. For those who are privileged, failing to do everything in their power to block the RN may seem acceptable. But they need to think about those millions whose lives are at risk.

“We’ll argue later” has become the motto of the leftwing parties that have coalesced against the far right. This should be applicable to everyone across the political spectrum who is capable of defeating the far right. The priority must be to make sure this party never crosses the threshold of power.

📸 🎥 ATP official website

Y. Bu tried to increase his level in the second set, but G. Diallo was proven too solid when it ended up to be concluded in a tie-breaker. For instance, there was a working lob from the Chinese sixth seed to secure his one-point lead in hopes to break for the second set, only for G. Diallo to hold his serves to 5-5. This was also the case in the next two games, where Y. Bu fired a forehand winner for an equalizer only for the latter to hold to 6-6.

As the tie-break became unavoidable, Y. Bu's +1 forehand error generated G. Diallo's one-point lead before the Canadian held to 2-0 thanks to his unreturned serve. Another unforced error from the former then doubled the latter's lead, and he had not looked back since despite the brief interruption at 4-2 due to rain. Sealing the match with an ace, G. Diallo took the second set 7-6(3) to secure his first Challenger title of the year.
