Democrats have raised the issue repeatedly after the presi- dent said last week that it would be “very proper and very nice” if a winner was declared on Elec- tion Day. Trump added that it was “totally inappropriate” for ballots that arrive later to be included, even though the votes of hundreds of thousands of service members that are sent by mail have been counted afterward for years.

Both will aim to use home advantage to have a good run here this year – Monfils will look for a repeat of his 2008 performance when he reached the semifinals, while Pouille will hope to emulate the form he displayed in reaching the last 4 at the Australian Open in January to impress the home fans in Paris. • Monte Carlo champion Fabio Fognini takes on fellow Italian Andreas Seppi in the first match on Court Simonne Mathieu today. It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. The pair are tied at 4 wins apiece in their previous Tour-level match-ups, but Seppi has not beaten his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate since 2010 and will have to put in an inspired performance if he is to defeat to the No.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Long Way Around by Quinn Anderson
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Long Way Around by Quinn Anderson The Broncos have a “long way to go” It’s usually pretty simple to pinpoint issues on a 5-11 football team and the Broncos are no exception. Before free agency I looked at every position group on the roster to try and determine where George Paton should spend his time and resources during his first offseason at the helm. So far Paton done close to nothing to add outside additions, so when he said the Broncos had “a long way to go” it didn’t surprise me. Don’t fret Broncos Country, the general manager knows seems to know there’s work to be done. Ronald Darby and Mike Boone are the only free agents to join the Broncos roster to date. George Paton also brought back Von Miller and Shelby Harris while taking advantage of the various tags and tenders to retain Trey Marshall, Calvin Anderson, Diontae Spencer, Justin Simmons, Alexander Johnson, and Tim Patrick. As we reach the end of the first week of free agency, I thought it time to take another look at the Broncos roster. Each position group will be ranked by how pressing I believe the current need is. Where applicable I also threw out a potential target or what it currently looks like the Broncos’ options are. The whole exercise is obviously subjective, but I hope it will help to inform. Tier 4: Competition for the sake of competition. 15. Punter. 14. Long snapper. 13. Kicker. 12. Fullback. Any addition added to these spots will probably serve as little more than depth in training camp.

The 24-year-old Frenchman and the 21-year-old Russian will be facing each other for the first time on the ATP World Tour. • It is a second consecutive final in Marseille for Pouille, who beat his compatriot Richard Gasquet in the semi- finals last year before losing in the title match to another Frenchman, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. One year later, the No. 3 seed has surpassed both Tsonga and Gasquet to become the top-ranked French player on the ATP World Tour, and beat both of those players en route to his fifth singles title in Montpellier two weeks ago. Between Montpellier and Marseille, Pouille is 7-0 in France during February, and hopes to claim one more victory to clinch a second singles title in the last three weeks. This current rich vein of form is a far cry from his start to the year, where he played only one match during January: a loss to qualifier Ruben Bemelmans in the first round of the Australian Open.
