(CNN) — Jannik Sinner has crashed out of Roland Garros in dramatic circumstances after losing a five-set thriller against Juan Manuel Cerúndolo.

The world No. 1 was in complete control after taking a 2-0 lead in the second-round match, but the heatwave sweeping the French Open seemed to take its toll as Sinner started to struggle with cramping.

Cerúndolo took advantage and bounced back to win the last three sets taking the win 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1.

It seemed like it was going to be another straightforward win for the four-time grand slam champion in his quest to win Roland Garros for the first time.

Sinner breezed through the first two sets and was at his swashbuckling best.

Cerúndolo was helpless as Sinner unleashed a barrage of powerful shots, forcing his opponent back before toying with the Argentinian in the Parisian heat – making him work for every single point.

Sinner then held a 5-1 lead in the third where he was serving for the win.

This, however, was when it all switched up for the Italian star.

While down 0-40 in the game, Sinner had a lengthy discussion with the umpire before he exited the court to receive medical treatment.

And he was not the same when he returned to action.

Cerúndolo won the final six games in the third set to keep the match alive before taking the final two sets to complete the shock win.

Sinner had looked unbeatable coming into the French Open.

The 24-year-old was on an incredible 30-match winning streak – having won three clay court Masters tournaments in a row in Monte-Carlo, Madrid and Rome – and, with no Carlos Alcaraz in action, another grand slam victory seemed like a formality.

But nothing is ever straightforward in sports.

Sinner is now the first man to lose more than one match at slams as a top seed after holding a 2-0 lead in the Open Era, according to ESPN Insights.

Cerúndolo admitted postgame that he may have been a little fortunate to advance to the next round.

“Of course, it’s tough for him, he was leading the match, I couldn’t win more than three games by set, so I think I was a little bit lucky,” Cerúndolo said on-court after his shock win. “I feel sorry for him because he deserved to win a lot of matches and, of course, he was serving to win this match.

“But then I don’t know what happened, I think he was cramping maybe or maybe the pressure, I don’t know, but of course, I feel sorry for him and hope he recovers.”

Cerúndolo will now be waiting to see who’s his next opponent with Martín Landaluce and Vít Kopřiva in action now.

“I’m super happy, I tried to play my best, I’m going to keep trying to play my best,” the Argentinian added. “Of course, it’s a tournament I

En cuestión de meses, Abelardo de la Espriella pasó de ser un controvertido y mediático abogado a un candidato presidencial con posibilidad de victoria en Colombia a través de una consigna clara: imponer autoridad. Es ahora el rostro de una derecha radical y en renovación que ha sabido aprovechar la frustración con los partidos tradicionales y canalizar una campaña de mucho espectáculo con una postura de ‘outsider’, que lo ubica como el rival directo del aspirante de la izquierda oficialista, Iván Cepeda.

Tiene 47 años, es carismático, le gusta hablar duro, apela al espectáculo y da declaraciones categóricas y provocadoras. Se proyecta como un empresario exitoso, amante de lo que él llama la alta cultura y el buen gusto. Ha moldeado su discurso para conquistar al electorado conservador y enfurecido con al actual Gobierno. Ha emprendido acciones judiciales contra periodistas, lo han acusado de machista y dice ser el mayor enemigo del comunismo.

Llegó a la campaña con la retórica de la ultraderecha y planteamientos populistas. Se lanzó a la Presidencia con la promesa de frenar la continuidad del proyecto político del presidente Gustavo Petro y su apuesta es la polarización: es un extremo sin tapujos para contrarrestar otro.

Con su movimiento Defensores de la Patria, comenzó su momentum político a finales de 2025 con el lanzamiento de su aspiración, cuando las encuestas lo empezaron a posicionar como el nombre del voto antipetrista en el país. Y se ha mantenido: según las últimas encuestas, es segundo en todas las mediciones detrás de Iván Cepeda. Si bien al ascenso meteórico que tuvo desde finales del año pasado pareció estancarse a finales de febrero, en la recta final se consolidó como el candidato opositor destacado hacia la primera vuelta. La conclusión es que estrategia de De la Espriella ha funcionado: apelar a la polarización; para contrarrestar al candidato de Petro, la opción es él, el extremo opuesto.

En el transcurso de la campaña, De la Espriella ha dicho que está abierto a sumar apoyos de todos los sectores políticos menos el petrismo y las encuestas lo muestran consistentemente como el candidato más opcionado a pesar de no surgir de ningún partido político. El abogado dice que se inspiró “por la alerta que significó el fraude electoral en Venezuela el 29 de julio de 2024” y que busca evitar el “riesgo de un gobierno que amenace nuestras libertades fundamentales o intente perpetuarse en el poder”.

De la Espriella, quien se autodenomina el “Tigre”, ha expresado simpatía por algunos líderes de derecha en la región —incluido Donald Trump—, y los medios lo han comparado con Nayib Bukele. El candidato ha elogiado el sistema carcelario del presidente de El Salvador y dice que en su Gobierno impulsaría las megacárceles de alta seguridad.

Nunca ha ocupado un cargo público ni gestionado contratos estatales: presenta esta ausencia de conexiones con el establishment como prueba de que es “el verdadero outsider” en la contienda. Además, afirma no tener grandes patrocinadores financieros, y dice que es un empresario se ha “hecho a sí mismo” y, por lo tanto no tiene obligaciones con la élite.

Al lanzar su campaña presidencial a finales de 2022, el entonces candidato Donald Trump criticó duramente a su sucesor por liberar agresivamente petróleo de las reservas de emergencia estadounidenses antes de las elecciones de mitad de mandato.

“Las reservas estratégicas nacionales, que yo mismo llené, se han agotado prácticamente para mantener bajos los precios de la gasolina, justo antes de las elecciones”, declaró Trump durante el lanzamiento de su campaña de 2024 en Mar-a-Lago, refiriéndose a las liberaciones récord de la Reserva Estratégica de Petróleo (SPR, por sus siglas en inglés) realizadas por el presidente Joe Biden.

Pero ahora, ante la creciente frustración de los votantes por los altos precios de la gasolina, el presidente Trump está agotando las reservas de petróleo de emergencia del país a un ritmo aún mayor que Joe Biden, de cara a las elecciones de mitad de mandato de este año.

No solo la magnitud de las liberaciones de la SPR bajo el Gobierno de Trump ha superado los récords, sino que la cantidad de crudo que queda en la reserva se acerca a los niveles más bajos desde principios de la década de 1980. En aquel entonces, Estados Unidos tenía una economía mucho más pequeña que consumía menos energía.

Las medidas de emergencia adoptadas esta primavera ponen de manifiesto la magnitud de la crisis petrolera desencadenada por la guerra con Irán y la carrera mundial por reponer el crudo atrapado en el golfo Pérsico.

La disminución de las reservas de petróleo de emergencia también recuerda que las autoridades estadounidenses tendrán que reabastecer la Reserva Estratégica de Petróleo posteriormente, una tarea que mantendrá tanto la demanda como los precios elevados.

“Esto no es como un bote de galletas. Esos barriles tendrán que reabastecerse en algún momento, y eso provocará un aumento de los precios”, afirmó Matt Smith, analista principal de petróleo de la firma de inteligencia energética Kpler.

Por supuesto, momentos como este son precisamente para los que se diseñó la SPR.

Ubicada en una serie de cavernas subterráneas de sal en Texas y Louisiana, la SPR es la mayor reserva de crudo de emergencia del mundo. Ha sido utilizada tanto por presidentes republicanos como demócratas durante guerras, huracanes y otras interrupciones del suministro.

Por ejemplo, Biden recurrió agresivamente a la Reserva Estratégica de Petróleo tras la invasión rusa de Ucrania en 2022, lo que disparó los precios de la gasolina por encima de los US$ 5 por galón por primera vez en la historia. La cantidad de petróleo en la SPR se desplomó de aproximadamente 638 millones de barriles en enero de 2021 a un mínimo de 347 millones de barriles en 40 años para julio de 2023, según datos federales.

El cierre efectivo a finales de febrero del estrecho de Ormuz, el punto de estrangulamiento energético más crítico del mundo, ha provocado la pérdida de más de 1.200 millones de barriles de crudo, según S&P Global Energy.

Para ayudar a cubrir el déficit, la SPR liberó un récord de 9,9 millones de barriles (un 2,6 %) solo durante la semana que finalizó el 15 de mayo, según datos federales. Esta fue la segunda semana consecutiva en la que los saldos de la SPR disminuyeron al nivel más alto registrado.

Desde que comenzó la guerra con Irán, la cantidad de petróleo en la Reserva Estratégica de Petróleo ha disminuido un 10 %, hasta los 374 millones de barriles, el nivel más bajo desde julio de 2024, según la Administración de Información Energética de Estados Unidos.

Cabe destacar que este crudo de emergencia no solo abastece a las refinerías estadounidenses. Aproximadamente la mitad del crudo liberado en abril y mayo se ha exportado, según estimaciones de Kpler.

(CNN) — The World Cup in the US is a once-in-a-generation moment, a chance for the country to welcome the world to its shores for the greatest spectacle in sports.

Try selling that line to a New York Knicks fan trying to make it into the city from New Jersey on June 16.

Once in a generation? How about the Knicks in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999? How about maybe a chance to win a title for the first time in 53 friggin’ years on that day?

Please.

And you want spectacle? Keep an eye on that June date, when desperately hungry and insanely passionate New York basketball fans might be trying to get to Madison Square Garden for Game 6 at the same time visiting World Cup fans are forcing an end-around.

Welcome to New York, indeed.

The complicated situation boils down to this:

In what they say is an effort to relieve what would be too taxing of a crowd on its railways and double-down on security, NJ Transit officials elected to stop all outbound trains from New York four hours prior to the eight World Cup games being played in MetLife Stadium across the Hudson in New Jersey. They’ll hold them again for three hours after the conclusion of each match.

On June 16, France plays Senegal at 3 p.m. ET in what will be one of the more highly anticipated group stage matches. From 11 a.m. ET until the start of the match, only fans holding special World Cup tickets will be permitted to access NJ Transit areas at Penn Station and travel out of New York.

That is not great, but not the worst.

Here’s where it gets ugly: The same rules are in place from about 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET in reverse. Specifically, as NJ Transit explained to CNN Sports via email, the last train to arrive at New York Penn Station from Newark Penn Station will pull in at 5:43 and the last from Newark Broad Street gets in at 5:31.

If there is a Game 6, tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET.

Way back in 1963, the city took a wrecking ball to Penn Station, turning the beautiful Beaux Arts station into rubble. Folks were not happy. An architectural historian from Yale wrote of the end of the Beaux Arts original, “One entered the city like a God.’’ As for the new version, Vincent Scully added, “One now scuttles in like a rat.’’

But rebuilding Penn Station also allowed developers to relocate Madison Square Garden from Eighth Avenue and 50th to its present-day spot, between 31st and 33rd and 7th and 8th, and plop it directly above the railway. While the station lacked the grandeur of its predecessors, the rats could sure scuttle in conveniently. Fans holding tickets to anything in the Garden needn’t so much as head outside.

Now, Knicks fans – who have waited for an NBA title nearly as long as the Garden has been reopened (it reopened in 1968, the Knicks’ last title came in 1973) – will be diverted by, of all people, the French! Two of the crankiest cultures in the world coming together in a commuting catastrophe.

There is a plan in place.

“For Knicks fans traveling during that time, PATH will accept NJ Transit train tickets with a New York destination at Newark Penn Station and Hoboken Terminal for travel to 33rd Street Station in New York at no additional cost,’’ NJ Transit said in an email to CNN Sports. “Knicks fans who wish to travel on NJ Transit directly into PSNY will need to plan accordingly.’’

So yes, this is merely an inconvenience and not the end of the world. The 33rd St. Station is maybe a five-minute walk to the

(CNN) — When Jason was 17 and “trying to get swole,” he said he and a friend started noticing they were getting served Instagram videos from gym influencers promoting a drug called MK-677. Intrigued by the promise that the drug would make them hungrier, so that they could eat more for muscle building without getting full, the teens “started sending the videos back and forth to one another,” said Jason, who is using a pseudonym to protect his privacy.

After seeking out more information on YouTube and Reddit, they eventually ordered capsules billed as MK-677 directly from a Chinese manufacturer. Jason, who is now 19, said the pills seemed to make him “insanely” hungry, as advertised, and his sleep improved. But the apparent side effects scared him off. “Both of us were constantly bloated,” he said, “and I ended up having high blood pressure.”

Young men in America, bombarded with images, advertisements and peer pressure telling them they need to enlarge themselves, have an unprecedented and largely untested assortment of substances waiting to drop-ship straight into their bodies. Those pursuing more muscle can draw on a wide-ranging and ever-growing gray market for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), beyond the better-established and more widely known anabolic steroids.

In addition to MK-677 — also known as ibutamoren — there’s turkesterone, a plant-based alternative to synthetic steroids, and ostarine, a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), promoted for its ability to build muscle in targeted parts of the body. These compounds are often positioned and sold as “nutritional supplements,” and can be bought with a few clicks from unregulated online sources. Users on social media platforms are swapping WhatsApp numbers for the best providers, and influencers across the internet are encouraging young men to inject or ingest these products in the pursuit of a “better” body.

The enthusiasm has outpaced medical knowledge, or even awareness, of how people are choosing to use these substances and what the effects may be. In 2024, Rohlil Dhaliwal, then an undergraduate powerlifter at Harvard University, said he was talking to his friends on the team about turkesterone. Influencers on social media cited studies to say it would stimulate muscle growth like an anabolic steroid, but without the usual nasty impacts on the liver, heart or hormonal regulation.

Dhaliwal, who was also an undergraduate researcher at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts, at the time, reached out for more information to Dr. Harrison Pope, the director of the biological psychiatry lab at McLean and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Pope is one of the world’s foremost authorities on anabolic steroids and has been researching PEDs and their impacts on people’s bodies and minds for decades.

“I’m one of the most widely published people in this field in the world,” Pope said. “I had never heard of turkesterone. And if I hadn’t heard of it, then it was likely a lot of people in the wider medical community hadn’t heard of it either.”

Pope was concerned that the gap between self-directed use of drugs like turkesterone and the limited knowledge about these drugs among medical professionals was creating a public health hazard. “We in the ‘above ground’ medical community are just completely out of touch with this vast underground world,” he said.

He also pointed to the lack of longitudinal studies for any of these drugs as a potential risk. “It is unclear whether they are safer for the long term, or whether they may have unforeseen dangers,” he said. It was only recently, he added, that the medical community developed literature on the impacts of recreational use of more established steroid PEDs, because many users are only now reaching old age.
