In Cincinnati, Grigor Dimitrov (26) beat Nick Kyrgios (22). That was also the last final between two players making their ATP Masters 1000 championship match debut. The last time this happened at the Rolex Paris Masters was in 2012 when David Ferrer beat qualifier Jerzy Janowicz for his first ATP Masters 1000 title. If Krajinovic wins, Pablo Carreno Busta will earn the final spot for the Nitto ATP Finals in London. The last time a player qualified for the year-end Finals by needing to win the Paris title was Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in 2008 (d. Nalbandian). • This will be the first meeting on the ATP World Tour between the two although Sock won 36 64 64 in the semi-finals at the 2014 Savannah, Georgia Challenger (l. to Kyrgios in final). • Sock, who came into Paris No. 24 in the Emirates ATP Race to London, is trying to become the first American to win the Rolex Paris Masters since Andre Agassi in 1999 (d.

  • Ani Difranco – Revolutionary Love Biography
    Ani DiFranco – Revolutionary Love Biography The transcendent new album from Ani DiFranco, Revolutionary Love marks the latest proof of one of her most powerful gifts as an artist: a rare ability to give voice to our deepest frustrations and tensions, on both a personal and political level. “My songs have always reflected an acute connection between my personal life and the life of my society,” says the trailblazing musician and activist. “As I started to come out of dealing with years of personal hardship, I saw that my entire country was struggling with the same problems: the same themes of how much damage we do to each other and how much pain we’re carrying, and the same question of how to keep going when we’re so broken.” As her 22nd studio album in an iconic career—one that’s included winning a Grammy and countless other accolades, collaborating with legends like Prince, and breaking ground as one of the first artists to launch her own label, Righteous Babe Records— Revolutionary Love first began taking shape in the final weeks of winter 2020. After returning from a West Coast tour with a new batch of songs she’d written on the road, DiFranco laid down those tracks at her New Orleans home studio with bassist Todd Sickafoose and drummer Terence Higgins (her longtime touring bandmates), but then felt compelled to keep on writing. Before long, she’d amassed a body of work whose urgency felt undeniable. “I suddenly decided I need to push this record out by fall,” she recalls.

  • Ani Difranco – Biography
    Ani DiFranco – Biography Widely considered a feminist icon, Grammy winner Ani DiFranco is the mother of the DIY movement, being one of the first artists to create her own record label in 1990. While she has been known as the “Little Folksinger,” her music has embraced punk, funk, hip hop, jazz, soul, electronica and even more distant sounds. Her collaborators have included everyone from Utah Phillips to legendary R&B saxophonist Maceo Parker to Prince. She has shared stages with Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Kris Kristofferson, Greg Brown, Billy Bragg, Michael Franti, Chuck D., and many more. Her most recent studio album Binary was released in June 2017 on Righteous Babe Records. Her memoir No Walls and the Recurring Dream was released in May 2019, and DiFranco released a No Walls Mixtape alongside the book, offering her take on songs related to the memoir. Over the years she's performed at countless benefit concerts, donated songs to many charity albums, and given time and energy to many progressive causes. She has learned from and demonstrated beside Gloria Steinem, Jesse Jackson and Dennis Kucinich. In 2004, she marched in the front row of the March for Women's Lives along with Margaret Cho, Janeane Garofalo, Whoopi Goldberg, and many others, later performing on the main stage. She has beaten the drum for voter registration and turnout with "Vote Dammit" tours in multiple presidential election years, including most recently in 2016. She's currently on the board of Roots of Music, an organization that provides at-risk youth with support and musical education in New Orleans, and the creative council of EMILY’s List, which helps elect pro-choice Democratic women to office.
