Novak Djokovic has lost the 2023 Men's Wimbledon final to Spanish underdog Carlos Alcaraz in a thoroughly thrilling match at SW19, to end the Serbian's domination of the event. 20-year-old Alcaraz went the full five sets with the outspoken tennis great, who felt for possibly the first time in his career, crowds majorly turn against him in favour of his younger opponent. Djokovic has seven men's Wimbledon singles titles to his name but couldn't add an eighth to his record of accomplishments as the plucky and dynamic Alcaraz claimed just his second grand slam of his fledgling career. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Djokovic did spark controversy during the match when after losing a game, smashed his racquet off one of the net posts, destroying the racquet in the process and leaving a significant dent in the post. This frustration didn't help Djokovic as Alcaraz managed to win Wimbledon for the first time by 3 sets to 2, thus toppling the great Serbian from his perch in an epic 4 plus hour match. Here is how tennis fans reacted to the game, Djokovic's antics and the celebrities in attendance. Have your say in our news democracy.

India’s Chandrayaan-3 lander only touched down on the Moon a month ago, but already it's made some major contributions to science. The spacecraft arrived on the satellite's unexplored south pole on 23 August, securing India's place as the first country to achieve this ambitious feat. Its rover, named Pragyan (or "wisdom" in Sanskrit) then embarked on an exploration of the rocky terrain, equipped with two instruments for conducting chemical experiments. And now, India's space agency, the ISRO, has published the ground-breaking data collected by the bold robot. Pragyan's findings offered a new, detailed insight into what makes up the lunar soil. And whilst scientists were unsurprised by the presence of iron, titanium, aluminium and calcium in the rocks, they were stunned to note a much higher concentration of sulphur than expected. The discovery is significant for a number of reasons. Most significantly, perhaps, because the sulphur could be used to help create a human base on the Moon. As Jeffrey Gillis-Davis, a planetary scientist, pointed out in a piece for Science Alert: "Astronauts and robots could travel from the south pole base to collect, process, store and use naturally occurring materials like sulfur on the Moon – a concept called in-situ resource utilization. "In-situ resource utilization means fewer trips back to Earth to get supplies and more time and energy spent exploring. Using sulfur as a resource, astronauts could build solar cells and batteries that use sulfur, mix up sulfur-based fertilizer and make sulfur-based concrete for construction." Gillis-Davis went on to explain that sulfur-based concrete has a number of advantages over the more common variety used in building, pointing out that it "hardens and becomes strong within hours rather than weeks, and it's more resistant to wear". "It also doesn't require water in the mixture, so astronauts could save their valuable water for drinking, crafting breathable oxygen and making rocket fuel," he added. The presence of sulphur near the Moon's south pole also suggests that highland soils at the lunar poles could have very different compositions to highland soils at the lunar equatorial regions. This would have key implications for our understanding of how the Moon works as a geological system, given that sulfur mainly comes from volcanic activity. Still, there's plenty of work to be done. And while this is all just one small step in Chandrayaan-3's mission, it could mean a great leap in how we view our dear celestial companion.

Lena the Plug has been thrust into the limelight thanks to her notorious “collaboration” with porn star Jason Luv, but not all her sexual encounters have been so well choreographed. The OnlyFans star, who is known for her X-rated podcast ‘Plug Talk’, has revealed that she once had a threesome with an “A-lister” and her best friend, but admitted that she found the whole experience painfully “awkward”. ‘Plug Talk’ follows an unusual format, in that each episode sees Lena (real name Lena Nersesian) and her husband Adam22 interview a female porn actor and then have sex with her at the end. But, three-ways haven’t always come so naturally to the content creator, as she acknowledged in a resurfaced clip. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter In the video, posted to YouTube back in 2017, Lena and her pal Emily laughed about an encounter they’d had, apparently with a bonafide superstar. Introducing the eyebrow-raising anecdote, the adult influencer said: “Basically Emily and I became best friends the moment we locked eyes in March of 2016 and a week later we collabbed (sic) on a penis.” She explained: “This is Los Angeles, a lot of things can happen and Emily somehow was invited to hang out with a very attractive celebrity, A-list rapper.” Lena said that Emily pleaded with her to come along to the celeb’s house because she was too nervous to go alone, but the podcaster warned her: “If we go there together, he’s going to think that we’re both going to f**k him.” Sure enough, after smoking some weed and drinking some “really gross” wine, this is precisely what happened, even though Emily wanted the famous lover all to herself. “This is not only an awkward threesome because you didn't want me to join, but it was just awkward because he's awkward,” Lena recalled. She then recounted how, despite having “kissed a lot of girls” and even having had a girlfriend herself, she found her sexual dalliance with Emily almost unbearably cringe-inducing. “I've kissed my sister, I've kissed my cousins who are girls and none of those kisses felt as awkward as the kisses that Emily and I exchanged,” she said. “Me and her are best friends, but we also have a very mother-daughter/sister relationship.” However, this was not the end of the racy story, but simply the prelude to something even more risqué. Moving on to her budding relationship with Adam22 (real name Adam Grandmaison), Lena told viewers: “I've been seeing Adam for a few months and we are both sexually pretty open to having other girls join.” She then announced that they would be having sex with Emily “in an hour” and then “talk about it after” on the same YouTube video. “It's kind of weird and controversial to have your best friend join, but I trust Emily and this will just kind of be kind of fun,” she added. Eventually, Adam did join and the video cut to the aftermath. Posed that most clichéd of questions: “How was it for you?”, Adam replied: “It was probably one of the greatest experiences of my life.” They rapped up the clip with Lena leaning back on her bed with Adam and saying: “We're going to make a sex tape if you get me to a million subscribers and this man as well.” Suffice it to say, six years on, they each have more than a million subscribers. And, together, they’ve made a hell of a lot more than just one sex tape. Have your say in our news democracy.
