TENNIS-US OPEN

NEW YORK (AP) — Rod Laver remains the last male to capture a calendar Grand Slam.

Novak Djokovic was thwarted in his bid for a calendar slam, falling in straight sets to Daniil Medvedev, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the U.S. Open final. It’s the first major championship for Medvedev, who reached the 2019 final before falling.

Djokovic dropped the opening set for the fifth straight time. Unlike the other four matches, he never got going in his quest for a record 21st Grand Slam title.

Medvedev won 20 of his first 23 service points and finished with 16 aces along with 38 winners.

Djokovic made 38 unforced errors and converted just one of his six break points.

The last man to complete a true Grand Slam by going 4 for 4 at the majors in a single season remains Rod Laver, who did it in 1962 and 1969.

PARIS (AP) — A French pharmaceutical startup says the British government has abruptly terminated an agreement for it to supply tens of millions of COVID-19 vaccines. Britain alleged that Valneva was in breach of its obligations under the supply agreement, the company said, “strenuously” denying this. There was no immediate comment from the British side. At the time of the deal, Britain rolled out the red carpet to the startup, while the more cautious EU dragged its feet. The VLA2001 vaccine, being made at Valneva’s plant in Scotland, is currently in the third phase of trials and not yet approved by regulators.

Nearly all of the city’s 300,000 employees will be required to be back in their workplaces as the city ends remote work. Most will either need to be vaccinated, or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing. The city was also set to start enforcing rules requiring workers and patrons to be vaccinated to go indoors at restaurants, museums and entertainment venues.
