And it turns out her day of fun in the sun, which included swimming, strolling and a relaxing massage, was just a warm up for another night behind the turntables as the guest DJ at the trendy LIV nightclub.
If whispers are accurate, Eddie Hearn will confirm in the near future that the fight between Benn and Online Writing middle school Grade Teacher Chris Eubank Jnr is on. Not with a British Boxing Board of Control licence in Benn's pocket, because they want a resolution to the inconvenient truth of Benn's two failed drugs tests, first revealed in the Daily Mail six months ago.
In Sunday's final, Carballes Baena -- who has one ATP tourney win, the Ecuador Open in February 2018 -- will take on Alexandre Muller.
The Frenchman defeated Pavel Kotov of Russia 7-6 (3), 7-5. Muller has yet to win on the ATP Tour.
Both players held serve throughout the third set until the tiebreaker, when Ruud went up 3-0 by breaking Halys twice. Ruud won one of the next two points on his serve to go up 4-1.
Halys held serve to pull within 4-2, but Ruud broke his serve again and served out the match.

The Webb team will take the telescope through more alignment steps over the next six weeks. The observatory will then go through a two-month process of preparing its science instruments before it's ready to tackle its mission in earnest. If all continues to go well, we could see Webb's first full-resolution imagery this summer.
That might just about work with a retired fighter. And no doubt Khan can live with it, especially as my understanding is he has not been asked to pay back his purse, which is not the obligatory process it would be in sensible sports.
UKAD documentation shows he was notified on April 6 last year, Khan announced his retirement, to praise, five weeks later, while this was still all quiet, and 14 months had eventually passed between the sample being collected and his ban being made public.
NASA's Thomas Zurbuchen delivered a key message about the James Webb Space Telescope on Wednesday: It's going to deliver on its promise to see the universe in unprecedented depth and detail. Webb is already sending back proof of its prowess with a new alignment evaluation image that shows a gleaming star against a background of galaxies.
They were sanctioned a week apart last month and there was no great risk of a killer bite if the cases took a wrong turn — to go by the estimates from an agent in that area, the average second-tier player might earn £30,000 a year.
That is what makes Khan's two-year ban quite interesting, because he earned about £5million on the night of February 19, 2022, when he lost to Kell Brook and then gave a post-fight sample that was positive for ostarine.
Pay of that scale makes Khan a shark. Just like Conor Benn is a shark, which we will revisit shortly. You lose to a shark and the damage can be severe, especially when you have a budget of £11m a year to cover all sports and sharks have expensive lawyers.
The point here is about the price of fish and the effort it takes to catch one. A mackerel isn't so tough — you can pull in five at a time on a multi-hook line off most British beaches. But a shark? You have to go further afield.
Webb is a complex beast. It uses 18 hexagonal mirror segments that had to be folded up for launch and then unfolded and aligned in space. We've been following the process and seeing increasingly sharper and more focused views of the telescope's target star leading up to this week's image release.
March 11 marked the completion of an alignment stage called "fine phasing." "At this key stage in the commissioning of Webb's Optical Telescope Element, every optical parameter that has been checked and tested is performing at, or above, expectations," NASA said.
It's been a long road, and the image marks a triumphant milestone. "More than 20 years ago, the Webb team set out to build the most powerful telescope that anyone has ever put in space and came up with an audacious optical design to meet demanding science goals," said Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. "Today we can say that design is going to deliver."
The star itself is beautiful to look at, but a highlight of the new image is the background and the array of galaxies and stars that appear there. It's a testament to the telescope's sensitivity that it can see so much in just this test image.
They need to show it in pursuing this matter, whether that means establishing Benn's claim to innocence or his guilt.
They need to do it before he finds his way to another ring via some creative paperwork.
But what would a similar timeline mean if they were weighing the case of someone active? Someone like Benn. This is when we look to UKAD again and with the added question of whether they are fit for purpose, because that is what they must prove.
