WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — When 2022 Wimbledon runner-up Nick Kyrgios steps out on No. 1 Court on Monday at the All England Club, it will be just his second singles match since October.Asked Sunday at a pre-tournament news conference whether he missed tennis during the time away caused by a knee injury and surgery, Kyrgios replied with the hint of a smile: “No, I don’t miss the sport at all, to be fair. I was almost dreading coming back a little bit. But it’s my job.”Kyrgios missed the Australian Open and the French Open during his lengthy absence and can’t be sure whether his body is ready for best-of-five-set competition.“I still think there’s some question marks, for sure,” said the 28-year-old Australian, who plays David Goffin of Belgium in the first round.“I look at my preparations last year coming in, I probably had the most ideal preparation possible,” Kyrgios said, a Boston Celtics hat perched on his head. “It couldn’t be any different this year.”And it’s been difficul...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:58:44 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — Tesla’s second-quarter deliveries rose 83% from a year ago after the company cut prices several times on its four electric vehicle models and buyers took advantage of U.S. government tax credits.The Austin, Texas, producer of EV, solar panels and batteries said Sunday that it sold a record 466,140 vehicles worldwide from April through June, nearly doubling the 254,695 it sold during the same period a year earlier. The vast majority of the sales were Tesla’s popular Model 3 and Model Y versions.But the price cuts, both for special orders and on existing inventory, raised questions from analysts who expect the cuts to reduce Tesla’s profit margins when it announces second-quarter earnings on July 19.Tesla’s sales were better than Wall Street expectations.

Es probable que estemos paseando mal a nuestros perros. ¿Por qué?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:58:44 GMT

(CNN) — Todos lo hemos visto. Muchos lo hemos hecho.Tratamos los paseos con el perro como una oportunidad de hacer dos (o tres) cosas a la vez, llevando a nuestros perros por el barrio mientras miramos el móvil, charlamos con un amigo, escuchamos un podcast o empujamos un cochecito.Los más ambiciosos incluso incorporan a los perros a su rutina de ejercicios, trotando o andando en bicicleta mientras sus mascotas trotan a su lado.Es comprensible. En un mundo tan ajetreado como el actual, este tipo de multitarea puede resultar muy productivo. Y pasear al perro dos veces al día por las mismas calles puede resultar aburrido.Pero los especialistas en comportamiento animal afirman que, en el mejor de los casos, los paseadores que no prestan toda su atención pueden confundir a los perros o frustrarles dándoles señales contradictorias. Y, en el peor de los casos, pueden poner en peligro la seguridad del perro y la suya propia.“Es algo así como el equivalente del paseo del perro a...
