Learner Tien reaches Australian Open quarterfinals, the youngest man in the last eight since 2015

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Learner Tien is the youngest man to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals in 11 years, and the youngest American man to go so far in a Grand Slam event since 2002.

And he didn't have to go the distance again with three-time runner-up Daniil Medvedev to get there.

The 20-year-old Tien had 6-4, 6-0, 6-3 win over Medvedev on Sunday, a year after a second-round, five-set upset over the 2021 U.S. Open champion.

Longtime festivalgoers say the final Sundance in Utah may also be their last

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Attendees at this year's Sundance Film Festival could not stand in line, step onto a shuttle bus or walk into a lounge without hearing one common question: “Will you go to the festival when it moves to Boulder?”

Butch Ward has been a Sundance regular since the early '90s, but like many longtime festivalgoers who fell in love with its charming mountain hometown of Park City, he said he won't be following Sundance to its new setting in Colorado next year.
