NEW YORK (Reuters) - Taylor Fritz believes his U.S. Open title clash against Jannik Sinner on Sunday will be less stressful than his encounter with fellow American Frances Tiafoe as he will be the underdog when he meets the world number one.

The manhunt entered its 14th day on Sept 6, as KOJC followers continued to clash with the police in a bid to stop the authorities from enforcing a court-issued arrest warrant against the pastor and his accomplices. Thousands of police officers have been deployed in the massive operation aiming to bring the fugitive pastor to jail.
General Torre said they found that Quiboloy had a bedroom in the basement of three buildings in the compound. Each of these rooms was surrounded by other bedrooms that police say were occupied by females whom Quiboloy allegedly had sex with. The hangar has a taxiway directly linking to Davao’s international airport, located just beside the KOJC property. The police is closely guarding this area to ensure no one escapes.
Quiboloy was previously a member of the United Pentecostal Church before founding the KOJC in 1985. While the KOJC espouses some mainstream Christian tenets, critics view it as a cult led by its charismatic leader, who claims his birth involved God coming to his mother upon a cloud and declaring him as his son.
The Philippine and US authorities also accuse Quiboloy of running a labour trafficking scheme that brought KOJC members overseas, including US, Canada and even Singapore. The fund-raising scheme supposedly funded the church’s operations and the lavish lifestyles of its leaders.The PNP and Quiboloy’s loyalists have been embroiled in a heated standoff for two weeks now.
The church leaders accused the police of abuse of power, prompting Senator Ronald dela Rosa, ex-president Duterte’s ally, to fly to Davao City and hold a hearing there on Sep 6.
