• FOR THE WEEK OF SEpTEmbER 18 - 24, 2023 • YOUR WEEKLY GUIDE TO TV ENTERTAINmENT Colin Woodell in "The Continental: From the World of John Wick" The annual Laver Cup returns for its sixth year as the world's top players go head-to-head in singles and doubles matches, as the tournament is played in Canada for the very first time. Taking place at the Rogers Arena in Van- couver, B.C., the action airs live on the Tennis Channel, Sept. 22-24. With the final teams determined back in August, Team World captain John McEnroe announced the return of world No. 10-ranked — and fan favorite player — Francis Tiafoe as part of the six-man team set to hit the courts this weekend, making it his third Laver Cup appearance. After an emotional victory last year that saw Team World take its first La- ver Cup, Tiafoe and his teammates will look to defend that title once more. Last year at the famous O2 Arena, Tiafoe came up huge for Team World, defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in a must-win match 1-6, 7-6 (11), 10-8, saving four points and breaking the team's winless curse, giving it a 13-8 victory. This also marked the retirement of 20-time singles major champion and former singles No. 1 Roger Federer as he and longtime rival Rafael Nadal fell in doubles to Team World's Jack Sock and Francis Tiafoe, 4-6, 7-6 (2), (11-9). Excited to get a crack at his third Laver Cup, Tiafoe looks to bring that same energy and focus this weekend, hop- ing for a repeat. "There's no doubt that last year's Laver Cup win was right up there as a career high for me," Tiafoe told reporters. "It was an unbelievable feeling to finally lift that tro- phy after coming so close in the past, and I can't wait for another shot this year." With high expectations looming this year, look for Team World to set the tone early, hoping to become back-to-back champions for the first time in team history. Tiafoe looks to defend Laver Cup title By Roberto Jozef playerprofile By Adam Thomlison Q: Is James Marshall still acting? A: The launch of the cult-classic drama series "Twin Peaks" in the late '80s launched James Marshall's career with it. And the revival of the show in 2017 revived it. After appearing in the revival season of the series on Showtime, which end- ed a pretty lengthy dry spell on his resume, Marshall was cast as a lead in two other shows. However, only one of them was actually released. "The Pact" is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi show released last year on the streaming service Roku. It's aired one season so far, but there's no word yet on a second round. "The Pact" was the second attempt to put Marshall into a show after the new "Twin Peaks." The first was "Three Knee Deep," another sci-fi se- ries that was produced independently but was never released. This process was very much a repeat of his career arc after the first run of "Twin Peaks." When the iconic and deeply strange drama debuted in 1989, Marshall was a struggling young actor taking bit TV roles where he could. But suddenly he had a central role on the most talked-about show on TV, playing the moody-but-dreamy young biker James Hurley. From there his career took off. It peaked (if you'll pardon the pun) in 1992, a year after the show ended, when he appeared in three notable big-screen films. He starred in "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me," a prequel to the series; and "Gladiator," a boxing movie and teenage drama. But most notably, he had a key supporting role as one of the young soldiers on trial in the multi-Oscar-nominated courtroom drama "A Few Good Men."
