Novak Djokovic attended the Geneva Open to prepare for Roland Garros. However, he suffered a setback after losing in the semifinals to Tomas Machac, 6-4, 0-6, 6-1. This match marked a significant milestone for Machac, as it was his first time qualifying for an ATP final, a testament to his growing potential in tennis.

Despite breaking Machac's serve in the second set, first seed Djokovic lost in three sets to his Czech opponent, who posted his career-best victory after two hours and five minutes on the Center Court. According to betting software experts, Djokovic aimed to make it to his first final of the 2024 season.

The top player in the world, Djokovic, has a history of impressive performances. He wasn't seen for six months after reaching the finals in Turin at the end of the 2023 season when he broke Roger Federer's record with seven ATP Finals titles. Before that, he had gone eleven months without a final appearance in 2017–2018. Despite recent setbacks, including a loss in the semifinals of the Australian Open to eventual champion Jannik Sinner and the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters at the hands of Casper Ruud, Djokovic's past successes hint at a promising future.

Casino goers in Missouri may no longer have to hope on a riverboat casino for their next casino outing. This is because If the Lake of the Ozarks Casino is approved by the voters of Missouri, the state will see the development of a new resort. One that will include a hotel, casino, spa, restaurants, shops, and a convention center, among other amenities. This project represents a departure from the traditional riverboat model that many other casinos in the state still adhere to.

More than 320,000 voters in Missouri have signed a petition to approve a casino at Lake of the Ozarks. After four unsuccessful attempts to get the casino question on the ballot, it may finally go to the voters.

In Missouri, casinos can only be built near the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, so a constitutional amendment is needed for other waterways to allow gaming. In addition, online casinos are also not legal which makes it tougher for casino players to enjoy their pastime.

The state will now verify the signatures, with approximately 173,000 certified signatures required to proceed to the ballot.

If approved by Missouri voters, the Lake of the Ozarks casino will bring a new resort with a hotel, casino, spa, restaurants, shops, and a convention center, a departure from the traditional riverboat model.

Missouri defines casinos as "excursion gambling boats," but the term is broadly interpreted, allowing for non-floating facilities. In 2021, the definition was amended to include shore-based casinos within 1,000 feet of the Missouri or Mississippi River, with a minimum of 2,000 gallons of water on-site.
