charade
he was whisked away
attend functions
psychologically break him down
have a cuppa for old times' sake
interrupted my reverie /daydream

Serena to start against wildcards
tingling with excitement

took advantage to chalk the upset win over them
flogging him to Madrid
his affability and capability to span the partisan divide
outpouring of superlatives
precariousness of his own health
go for arbitration

lending her celebrity to causes such as AIDS awareness
in punitive damage
slap on the wrist for sb
Selangor bigshots
Federer in perfect frame of mind for US Open
gleefully said
yet to come to grips with her repaired shoulder
turned the corner in her comeback by reaching the final

ultra vires
a low-key first half
dirty, dishevelled and unkempt
lie in an euphorie/euphoria state after shooting themselves up with heroin
nightspots or discotheques
