SEOUL (AP) — Jessica Pegula beat Yuan Yue 6-2, 6-3 in the final of the Korea Open on Sunday for the fourth title of her career.

So it’s really special.”Playing in her first career final, 128th-ranked Yuan showed no signs of nerves and earned a break point in Pegula’s opening service game, which the American saved with a forehand winner. The world No. 4-ranked player then won eight consecutive games to take the first set and build a 3-0 lead in the second as a quick victory looked likely.

Grenades went off. Gunfire ricocheted everywhere. Injured, bleeding revelers raced to the paramedics’ station. But the chaos quickly escalated.

TORONTO — Sean Kady spent most of his 20s toting around a teal tackle box that once belonged to his roommate’s grandfather. Occasionally, people would spot the box and ask to borrow a wrench, but it didn’t contain tools or bait.Instead, the box was home to a cannabis supply Kady covertly sold to a steady stream of customers. Kady has since gone legit, having opened Toronto pot shop Cosmic Charlies with his brother in 2021. But the money was so good in his tackle box days, he sometimes wonders if he had the right idea even though he was on the wrong side of the law.“I have made the joke that we’ll just relinquish our licence and I’ll start selling the weed that I could get again, and I’ll make a lot more money,” Kady said.“I would never do it, but I’ve threatened to do it for fun.”Kady can be forgiven for wistfully recalling his past. Pot shop owners have had a rough five years.Since Canada legalized recreational cannabis on...
