As rule, you use superlatives at your peril. But you've found safe harbor in declaring the 2008 Wimbledon men's final "the greatest tennis match ever played." When Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal met on Centre Court that Sunday afternoon (and evening and night) in July, it marked the rare sporting event that lived up to the considerable hype. And then eclipsed it entirely. Roger was 26, Rafa 22. And Federer-Nadal had already become a classic sports rivalry. This was a matchup heightened by clashing styles. Righty versus lefty. Classic technique versus ultramodern. No. 1 versus No. 2. Feline light versus bovine heavy.

Virtua Tennis 4 is a tennis simulation game featuring 22 of the current top male and female players from the ATP and WTA tennis tours. Along with classic Virtua Tennis tournament style action ent play, a brand-new world tour and more.

Halo Maud's first release on Heavenly is a recap of the story so far ahead of an album release later this year - three tracks of this EP originally came out on a Canadian label last year, with the difference that 'Du Pouvoir' now features some English lyrics, and 'A La Fin' and 'Dans La Nuit' cropped up on a La Souterraine compilations in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Maud Nadal has been a member of both Moodoid and Melody's Echo Chamber's live bands, and of course at times there are comparisons to be drawn with MEC, with both teetering on a crystalline peak where extreme joy and despair meet. But if anything Nadal's own melodies are even more indelible, and her voice turns them into vapour trails.
