Tennis star Justine Pearce and elite coach Glenn Lapthorn, the lead characters in new Prime Video series Fifteen-Love, are works of fiction. Their story is not. After decades of silence and whispers, allegations of predatory sexual behaviour and abuse perpetrated by tennis coaches on young players are finally being voiced, and the consequences finally being felt.
In the new British TV drama, 24-year-old newcomer Ella Lily Hyland is outstanding as Justine, a physiotherapist whose promising tennis career ended at age 17, following an injury. 40-year-old Aidan Turner plays her former private coach Glenn, a married father of two whom Justine reports to the police for multiple counts of historical sexual assault. Glenn denies any wrongdoing, calling Justine a fantasist harbouring a bitter grudge. What really happened in the run-up to the 2018 French Open tournament unspools over six tense episodes.

Madrid (Spain), May 2 (Ians) Karen Khachanov kept his cool and beat Andrey Rublev 7-6(8), 6-4 in the fourth-round clash to seal a quarterfinal berth at the Madrid Open, here on Tuesday.
The 10th-seeded Khachanov took control of a closely fought encounter by rallying from 4/6 to claim the first-set tie-break and he carried that momentum to a one-hour, 42-minute victory on Manolo Santana Stadium.
“It’s always tricky to play against each other because on one side we know each other’s games perfectly because we’ve been training together for so many years,” Khachanov was quoted as saying by Atp Tour.
“At the same time, we know what to expect, but also of course a bit nervous to play against each other. We are good friends, but on the court we are rivals. It was all a matter of keeping the serve, and if you have any chances on the return,...

Consider the Warehouse 13 game changed.
On "Vendetta," H.G. Wells was back - and no longer wanted. However, against Artie's wishes, she was reinstated to full agent.
I had mentioned previously that I wondered if the show was going to pull a twist on us and have her turn out to actually be a good guy. This development clearly pointed that direction. I really hope that Wells is exactly who she says she is for two reasons:
I really like Jamie Murray who plays Wells and brings such a charm to the show with her accent and more “steam punk” style inventions. The “I am pretending to be good to get something from you” storyline has been used so many times at this point.
I am really hoping the show has more imagination than that. Please let Wells remain a good guy and join the cast; she has such great potential.

A new version of the trailer has appeared online for Mark McQueen’s "infected" Zombie apocalypse movie Devils Playground. Thankfully it’s a far slicker affair, than the earlier “unofficial” promo that appeared a couple of months back. Production values don’t look too bad at all, but after watching the clip and reading the plotline, we’ll leave it to you to draw your own conclusions as to which other Zomb horror it seems to hold more than a passing resemblance to. On the plus side it boasts an excellent British cast including Danny Dyer, MyAnna Buring, Shaun Pertwee, Craig Fairbrass, Jamie Murray, Craig Conway, Colin Salmon and Shane Taylor. Dp opens in the UK in September. Synopsis: London, the not too distant future. Newgen Industries, a leading pharmaceutical company, is trying to placate a media uproar. It’s new "legal performance enhancer", Rak-295, has met with spectacular failure during testing,...
