The top-ranked player in men’s tennis is showing no sign of letting up when it comes to competing at a high level in Grand Slam tournaments. Novak Djokovic will defend his 2014 Wimbledon title this week as the tournament wraps up the Round of 16 Monday, July 6, on ESPN, and moves into the quarter and semifinal rounds as the week progresses. Djokovic is coming off a second-straight loss in the final at the French Open, the only Grand Slam title that has eluded him. He remains, however, the hottest player on the men’s circuit. Earlier in 2015, he won the Australian Open, making up for a quarterfinal loss there in 2014 after winning the event in 2011, 2012 and 2013. While he hasn’t dominated other Grand Slam tournaments, he has been a factor in nearly every event since 2011, a year in which he won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. Cumulatively, since 2011 he has won seven of 17 Slams and lost in the finals in five others. In the five other Slams, he made it as far as the semis four times along with one out in the quarterfinals. Following the French Open, Novak Djokovic had five titles thus far in the 2015 season and a 41-3 singles record. Once again he was at the top of the ATP rankings and was more than 4000 points ahead of rival Roger Federer. Another deep run at Wimbledon will surprise no one.

Jones’ 3-pointer was the fourth in the last four minutes for the Blue Devils (18-3, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who had missed 11 of 13 before hitting the critical long-range shots they needed. Virginia (19-1, 7-1) started the second half with a 16-4 burst and led by 11 with just under 11 minutes to play before some ill-advised shots, turnovers and Duke’s blistering shooting turned the tables.

An epic tennis match turns into ‘Hell’ in HBO mockumentary A 1990s Wimbledon tennis match drags on for a week, leaving its participants spent physically, mentally and emotionally in a hilarious HBO mockumentary debuting this week. In “7 Days in Hell,” premiering Saturday, July 11, Andy Samberg (“Saturday Night Live,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) and Kit Harington (“Game of Thrones,” “Pompeii”) star as the rivals in question, whose games and temperaments couldn’t be more different. Samberg’s Aaron Williams is tennis’ bad boy, an ill-tempered American who is a sort of cross between John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg and a big-haired 1990s version of Andre Agassi. Harington’s Charles Poole, meanwhile, is a simpleton, a Brit who can manage only “indubitably” as an answer to most interview questions. Together, they conspire to play tennis’ longest match, one that everyone – players, broadcasters and fans – wished would just end, all told in fake documentary style. Tennis stars Serena Williams, John McEnroe and Chris Evert are among those weighing in. The idea for the story was inspired by a real-life 2010 Wimbledon match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut that lasted more than 11 hours and was played over three days, explains Samberg, also an executive producer on the film. “We had always talked about wanting to do something with comedy and tennis,” says Samberg of he and longtime friend Murray Miller, who wrote the story, “and then when that match was happening, we were watching it together in fact and one of us said, ‘Man, somebody should make a movie where a match just would never end.’ And I said, ‘Well, that should be us. We should make that movie.’ “But yeah, like we thought of the idea during the Isner/Mahut match and we were like, ‘What if this match went even longer than three days?’ And at one point we had it up to eight days. I think at one point ... it was even longer. But we settled on seven. It felt like the right length for this premise.” As the match wears on, broadcasters get palpably exasperated by the deteriorating state of play, especially when one player’s serve floats into the net at under 40 mph. The players look sweaty and exhausted and that feeling, according to both actors, wasn’t difficult to summon in the 122-degree summer heat of Palm Springs, Calif., where the tennis scenes were filmed. “It gave me a healthy respect for tennis players,” Harington says. “I could hit about three shots and then I had to go and sit in the shade and then go back out and hit another three shots. It was really tough. For a three-day shoot, it was one of the toughest shoots I’ve done.” “It was very easy to act tired,” Samberg adds. “... Basically we’d go for as long as we could in each take and then sprint off into the shade and try and recuperate and just pound Gatorade and water as much as we could. “But ... everyone left that shoot a little red.”

Sampling the exotic and the unusual on ‘Food Paradise International’ The quirky food and travel franchise “Food Paradise” is branching out to include worldwide gastronomic destinations not to be missed. Airing Wednesdays on Travel Channel, the hourlong “Food Paradise International” brings viewers to the most legendary and undiscovered hot spots to celebrate foods that might not necessarily be associated with those cities. “ ‘Food Paradise’ domestic is really built on a successful franchise in which we thought of the foods that people love and how do you find the variations of it across the country?” executive producer Tina Nguyen explains. “And wherever you go, you’ll meet these interesting people who put a twist on it and (have) lots of personality, a lot of robust food and inventiveness. And it just felt like an organic expansion of the franchise to take it internationally. And if you watch ‘Food Paradise,’ it’s a lot of food categories that are relatable, so everything from barbecue to burgers to pizza. The category is very familiar but people have taken these food items to really fun and kind of wacky variations.” Such as in the July 8 episode, “Steak Paradise,” which visits such unlikely beef destinations as South Africa, Italy and Sydney – the location of a very high-end beef shop. “It’s like the Gucci of steak merchandising,” Nguyen explains. “And they showcase the best cuts of beef from around the world whether it’s Japan, locally, and it’s going into this jewelry shop of beef. So we feature how beef is celebrated, and not just the way it’s made but like how it’s cultivated and raised. ...

BY GEORGE DICKIE

“And then in Italy, there’s this one chef who also is an artist, and the way he treats his beef is like the way he makes his sculptures. He’s a sculptor as well. And so he runs his Agriturismo, which is both a farm and restaurant and lodge, he creates a sculpture on the ground and he also grows the meat on the location. So this really rich environment where it’s art and meat and fire. It’s very highbrow and yet very primal.” For sheer wackiness, though, nothing tops the episode airing later this month, “Pizza Paradise,” according to Nguyen. “Pizza is basically a container food. ... It’s a blank slate,” she says. “And you can fill it or you can top it in different ways. “The thing is when you look at pizza in Tokyo, (it is) a totally different rendition. It’s got a fish-stock base and yams. It’s a totally different idea and it’s a different food experience but it delivers on the same idea that it’s like this contained patty of goodness.” Then, of course, there is the lamb and cheese pizza in London. “It’s run by these two guys who are really tough guys ...,” Nguyen says. “And their pizzas are delicate and exquisite and (have) what they call modern flair. Like, they’d combine the most disparate ingredients and the pizza looks delicate and they’re big in flavor ... . I mean, London you think of beer and brats or bangers and mash – basic staples – and this is really delicate pizza.” Other episodes look at fried foods in Paris, Barcelona and South Africa (July 15), and burgers in Tokyo, Buenos Aires and Paris (July 22).

“WOMAN IN GOLD” Taking a different slant on the true story told not long ago in the George Clooneydirected “The Monuments Men,” this drama offers yet another sterling performance by Helen Mirren as a woman determined to recover paintings stolen by the Nazis. Ryan Reynolds also does fine work as her attorney as the duo takes painstaking legal action against the Austrian government to recover the artworks.

His wife Claire (Robin Wright) still has ideas about consolidating her own power base, which being first lady gives her new fuel to do.

Smerling profile millionaire Durst, who long was suspected of involvement in several murders, with his wife’s disappearance one of the factors.

An impressive cast fuels this seriocomic story, with Robert Sheehan (“The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones”) in the central role as a young man with Tourette syndrome. Two friends (Dev Patel, Zoe Kravitz) leave a mental-health facility with him as he sets out to fulfill his promise to his late mother to spread her ashes at sea, a trek that holds potentially life-changing surprises for the trio.

“MERCHANTS OF DOUBT” It’s all about “spin” for the subjects of this documentary, alleged authorities hired by corporations to plant views on various subjects within the media. Most of the topics are related to science, but also to daily life since they involve such matters as tobacco and pharmaceuticals. Filmmaker Robert Kenner takes a somewhat bemused slant as he features interviews not only with those who are doing the spinning, but also with politicians and executives who try to ensure that the public doesn’t get spun.

Penn & Teller are as surprised as they are pleased to still be making magic for The CW. Last summer, the network picked up the comedic illusionists’ British 2011 series “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” for American television ... and its U.S. performance prompted The CW to order a second season of new episodes premiering Monday, July 6. Though the show is now produced stateside, original host Jonathan Ross has been brought over from England to continue that role, and Penn Jillette notes there’s a bigger pool of American magicians available to try to stump him and his literal “silent partner” Teller on how the trickery is accomplished. “We love so much being beaten” on figuring that out, Jillette muses. “It’s very rare to think of situations in life where the people who have been beaten enjoy it more than the people who are cheering for it to happen.” However, Jillette is quick to add that viewers aren’t being fooled in how “Fool Us” presents the magic: “The audience has grown to learn that magicians can, if not use camera tricks, certainly use editing tricks. And certainly use the best take. The nice thing about ‘Fool Us’ is that because the trick is being done for us, we automatically show the audience that it’s being done live. The magicians who come out and work for us get one shot. Once they start, they have to finish, and there’s no way around that.” Guest talents who succeed in fooling Penn & Teller still win the opportunity to perform in the duo’s Las Vegas act. “Although we say they’re going to be opening for us, that’s not really true,” Jillette allows. “What really happens is that we open for them. We do our show and then explain, ‘These are the people who fooled us,’ then they come out and do about 10 minutes. And they absolutely kill. We’ve never had anybody on the bill with us who isn’t really special.” Though Penn & Teller have been involved in several other series, “Fool Us” is “both the easiest and the hardest” one they’ve done, Jillette maintains. “We’re producers on the show, but we’re not allowed to see the guest list, we’re not allowed to see the trick list and we’re not allowed to be at the rehearsals. It’s a pretty odd position to be in. “If you put us together, Teller and I have done 100 years of preparation in ‘man years’ for this show, but there’s none done specifically for it. It’s like being thrown out of an airplane every episode.”

Part documentary and part scripted comedy, the six-episode series intentionally blurs the lines between what is real and what is contrived as it tells its stories. Viewers may find themselves a bit disoriented.

Now the Cuban-American artist and filmmaker is ready to share his experiences in this humorous eight-episode series, telling true tales of his adventures — a drunken brawl at an art gallery; a children’s birthday party that ends with a grotesque surprise — while showing a less glitzy side of the city he calls home.

feature story By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it “Conan” is hitting ComicCon ... and its host admits he has no idea what to expect. Then again, Conan O’Brien realizes unpredictability is a huge factor of the annual San Diego convention for fantasy projects and their fans. That’s why he’s taking his TBS latenight program there for telecasts from the city’s Spreckels Theatre for four consecutive nights starting Wednesday, July 8 (and including rare Friday and Saturday episodes, July 10-11). Comic-Con International’s organizers are helping “Conan” considerably, but improvisation-loving O’Brien knows anything goes once he gets there. “It’s such a perfect fit,” he reflects, “a bunch of us were wondering, ‘How come we didn’t do this before?’ We’re doing it in cooperation with the people who run Comic-Con, and obviously, that’s a huge deal. The fact that this all came together is kind of brilliant, and I wish I could take credit for it, but I really think it was someone on my staff mentioning it and then us talking to ComicCon. The next thing you know, it’s done — and then we realized no one’s done this before, which was really exciting.” While Comic-Con is the focus, O’Brien also is aiming to continue what he calls his “tradition of traveling the show” to such locations as Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and (earlier this year) Havana, Cuba. “There are some shows that travel to Hawaii or Florida or wherever, and they do the same show with palm trees in the background. I always like that when we travel, it changes the DNA

of our show. When we go to Cuba, I metamorphosize into doing different kinds of comedy; I’m immersed in that culture, and the show really has a different tone.” Having attended Comic-Con before, O’Brien has a sense of what and how it is. “This is taking the show not just to the next level, but seven levels

higher,” he reasons, “because it is such an intense environment of people who are passionate about that world. There is a natural fit between Comic-Con and people who are into all the strange stuff we’ve been doing for all these years. It’s this fantasy world of people in costumes, and we’re extremely excited about that.”

I’ll be performing for people dressed as Thor and the Green Goblin ... and that’s going to be a very different experience. It’ll be me interviewing six people in front of an audience full of Hulks.”
