Tennis star Andrey Rublev has been compared to the ancient Greek god Zeus after winning a lightning bolt trophy. The Russian tennis player earned the incredible prize after winning the Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) event in Frankfurt, Germany. It was the player’s debut appearance on the UTS Tour and he clinched victory over Bulgarian tennis pro Grigor Dimitrov in the final. The UTS Tour event sees tennis played in a different format from the ATP Tour. In the event, matches are played in eight-minute quarters, players get one serve only and there are just 15 seconds given between points. Rublev came out on top in the final of the eight-man event, beating his opponent and close friend Dimitrov 14-13, 12-17, 11-10, 17-16. To reward him for his win, Rublev was handed a huge lightning bolt-shaped trophy that had people comparing him to the sky and thunder god of ancient Greece, Zeus. One tennis-themed X/Twitter account wrote: “Andrey Rublev looks so natural holding a lightning bolt in his hand. “UTS Frankfurt Champion. King of lightning & thunder.” Another fan commented: “Zeus.” One person merged the two names together, coming up with: “Andrey Zeusblev.” “He looks like a Nordic God here, so mighty,” wrote another admirer. Someone else commented: “That might be the coolest trophy I have ever seen.” The trophy even had some celebrity admirers, with Alexis Ohanian, Reddit co-founder and husband of former tennis star Serena Williams, posting: “Amazing trophy design.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Findings of a study have revealed that the majority of women think it’s a turn-off if their significant other listens to Joe Rogan’s podcast. Rogan has come under fire in the past after making some controversial comments on his Spotify podcast The Joe Rogan Experience. The outspoken host has previously been accused of spreading misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccine and making anti-semitic comments. Despite this, Rogan’s podcast is extremely popular with reports suggesting that each episode draws an audience of 11 million. But, for his fans, it’s not all good news as a study has found that the majority of women think it’s a “'turn-off” if their partner is a listener. More than 1,000 people between the ages of 18 to 34 were interviewed by Change Research, who found that 55 per cent of women felt it was a big “red flag” if someone listens to The Joe Rogan Experience. In contrast, 35 per cent of men found it a red flag if their partner likes to listen to the podcaster. The interview also asked participants about other red flags when it comes to relationships, throwing up some interesting gender-based trends. The study found more than 75 per cent of women thought it would be a dealbreaker if their partner was a MAGA supporter. On the other hand, for men it was 59 per cent. It was also revealed that a partner not having a hobby was a problem for women more than it was for men – 66 per cent, compared with 60 per cent. In fact, for men, the biggest red flag for them was if their partner said they were a “communist”, with 64 per cent seeing that as an issue.
