tennis obsession.' 'That's 15, love,' he says with a goofy grin. Tennis and love are the subjects of Luca Guadagnino's brilliant Challengers, which I watched on the big screen earlier this year — and that's the only way to watch it, to respect the kinetic, uninhibited energy of a movie that refuses to play it safe. You can call this a mashup of lush romantic drama, erotic thriller, and sports movie about overvaulting ambition. Any way you choose to see it, it makes something like King Richard — about the early struggles of Venus and Serena Williams and their dad — look even more insipid than it already was.

Across the channel, Champions League has also thrown up the finest to reach the final, but without the 'same old, same old' algorithm at play. This time, CL 'giants' Real Madrid are pitched against 'giant killer' Borussia Dortmund. In EPL, two top sides are duelling it out to the end. This is unlike last year's 'monopoly' when City claimed the crown, with Arsenal No. 2 by a distance. It was only in the latter stages of this year's tournament that Liverpool fell out of contention, and marquee sides like Man Utd and Chelsea made to languish behind the likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle. This is what makes EPL the most exciting football league in the world.
