The Young Pope - Season 1 Episode 3

I've said several times that this show is quite bizarre at time - the kangaroo, etc. The whole Greenland interlude was another bizarre part. What was the point. Especially the song.

He is a much better actor than I thought.

Nadal's winning his first grand slam on hard court, on the heels of his first-ever grass court grand slam win at Wimbledon last year, added to his implausibly brilliant record on clay has the feeling of a defining moment in tennis history. This is the point from where he can go from being the best player of his time, to becoming the best player of all time. I know, its too soon. But he is just 22. He has a lot of time to improve his already awesome game. And playing against (not to mention beating regularly) a legend like Federer can only help his cause. This was a good match.
