Siniakova served for the match at 5-3 in the second set but the Czech player double-faulted twice as Bronzetti broke back. The Italian then saved three match points before Siniakova closed out the win for her fourth career singles title. The start of the match was delayed by rain and play was also suspended by another shower after the first set. Going into the tournament, Siniakova had not won a singles match since the Miami Open in March, where she sustained a wrist injury that sidelined her until the French Open. Bronzetti received a walkover to the final after top-ranked Iga Swiatek withdrew before their semifinal on Friday with an illness.___AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource

Twitter users run into service issues after Elon Musk imposes daily limits on reading tweets

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:18:20 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Thousands of people logged complaints about problems accessing Twitter on Saturday after owner Elon Musk limited most users to viewing 600 tweets a day — restrictions he described as an attempt to prevent unauthorized scraping of potentially valuable data from the site.The crackdown began to have ripple effects early Saturday, causing more than 7,500 people at one point to report problems using the social media service, based on complaints registered on Downdetector, a website that tracks online outages.

Their hopes for a rescue of the submersible’s crew of five had faded.“I have to apologize,” Cassano said, his voice cracking as he described the moment the debris was found. He said he a...
