His final opponent is second-seeded Daniil Medvedev of Russia, who bested 12th-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime, 6-4, 7-5, 6-2, in the other semifinal Friday. Medvedev, a 2019 Open finalist, is a viable threat to upend Djokovic’s pursuit. But many pegged Zverev as the most likely to pull off an upset, especially after he toppled Djokovic at the Tokyo Olympics.

“Plaintiff (John Doe 2) effectively admits he has no facts to actually establish that (the team) did either of these things,” the motion reads. “Indeed, (the team) made a request to Plaintiff’s counsel, contemporaneous with the filing of this motion, that she withdraw these allegations because they are demonstrably false. (The team) expects that Plaintiff’s counsel will adhere to her ethical obligations and Illinois Supreme Court Rules by withdrawing the allegations in short order.”

“Our lineup looks better when he’s in there, there’s no doubt about it,” La Russa said Friday. “It’s really a classic example of an injury versus sore, a bruise. He’s going to run and he’s going to feel it, it’s going to hurt him. But it doesn’t make it worse when he plays, it’s not like you’re pushing a hamstring.

“People had to travel a thousand miles to get their health care because of this Texas law, so that’s one reason why we’re out here protesting in Chicago,” Welch said. “The second reason is because our surrounding states that already have abortion restrictions in place are looking at similar bans, so even more patients would have to come to us, will have to travel, for this essential care.”

Minutes later in the Austin neighborhood, a 27-year-old man was in front of a residence in the 5500 block of West Adams Street at approximately 12:58 p.m. when he heard gunshots and felt pain. He was struck in the head and shoulder, according to a police notification. He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

“Totally,” he said. “They gave me a lot of money while I was here. How could I hate someone? I don’t feel ill will toward anybody. It’s such a dumb thing to even think about or do. Yeah, you could be mad at how certain situations are handled. But I got to put on the Cubs uniform basically any day I wanted. If I wanted to play every day, they would’ve let me play every single day.

“I was lost, I had no clue where I was going, and all these cameras in my face, I was trying to play it off like I knew what I was doing it,” said Bryant, smiling. “It’s still so new too, it feels like I was just here, but just sitting in another dugout, in a different uniform and actually facing the guys that I’ve played with for so long.”
