You've just settled into your seat in economy class for a flight to Johannesburg. A man, clean cut, suave with an unassuming elegance even as the miniature hat of the Basotho bobs cheerfully from his belt, is making his way down the aisle, smiling awkwardly, a little bent over, so as not to bump his head against the overhead compartment in the cramped space. You think to yourself: "Surely not!"
Alexander Ursenbacher completed a comfortable win in his first match at the 208-player Q School event with a 4-0 whitewash of Tan Wang Chooi in Leicester.

Ad He compiled 51, 76 and 50 to advance to the third qualifying round and a match against Belgium's Daan Leyssen on Monday evening.
Watching Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros is a bucket list experience. The fans in the stands of Court Philippe-Chatrier erupt as he walks out. It's his stage.
The 2023 French Open begins on Sunday, May 28 and runs through Sunday, June 11 at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France. While this year’s field will feature Coco Gauff, Novak Djokovic and many of your favorite tennis stars, one major name that will be sidelined from competition is Rafael Nadal. The 14-time French Open champion announced last week that he will miss the tournament for the first time in 19 years due to a left hip flexor injury.
Carlos Alcaraz has said it would be “a dream” to play doubles tennis alongside Rafa Nadal at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The current world No. 1 appears to be the natural successor to the former best-in-the-world Nadal as the older player edges towards retirement.
All of those questions about who would step to the fore once Serena Williams walked away from the tennis tour — joining more recent No. 1 Ash Barty in retirement — seem to be getting answered with three names: Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina.
Novak Djokovic could face world number one Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals of the French Open after both players were placed in the same half of the draw on Thursday. Djokovic is chasing a record 23rd men's Grand Slam title in the absence of the injured Rafael Nadal, who will miss the tournament at Roland Garros for the first time since his 2005 title-winning debut. The third-seeded Djokovic, Roland Garros champion in 2016 and 2021, meets 114th-ranked Aleksandar Kovacevic of the US in the first round in Paris -- the first French Open since 1998 without Nadal or the now retired Roger Federer.
