RG MS Q3: Meet Your Qualifiers (Day 1)

For a more compact version in the form of a Twitter thread, click here.

As per tradition in the French Open, differing from other Grand Slams, the third qualifying round matches are divided into two days, with one of the reasons likely being weather, as it turned out to rain upon the conclusion of the matches. Interestingly, due to the previous rain delays that happened yesterday, the 8 sections that finished first (3, 9-15) played today to find out the first 8 qualifiers to the Men's Singles sector in Roland Garros.

Recognizing that these qualifiers could often shock you (and your favorite players) in a way you will never imagine, meet your qualifiers (first part, also with the oversimplified match report):

Section 13: Shintaro Mochizuki def. Facundo Bagnis [13] 6-4, 2-0 ret.

F. Bagnis came to the Roland Garros qualifying rounds thanks to shining through the Golden Swing, becoming the runner-up of Cordoba (250) to Luciano Darderi 1-6, 4-6, preceded by winning the Buenos Aires 2 (Argentino) Challenger against Mariano Navone in a comeback fashion 7-5, 1-6, 7-5 right before L. Darderi and M. Navone broke out. Trying to follow their journey in terms of resurgence, F. Bagnis continued with a runner-up showing in Santiago Challenger (l. Juan Pablo Varillas) and the quarterfinals in Aix-en-Provence Challenger albeit being unable to catch a break as he was forced to retire down 0-6 to eventual champion Alejandro Tabilo, coming to the Roland Garros third qualifying round without dropping a set as he defeated M. Tomas Barrios Vera and Juan Manuel Cerundolo both in straight sets (6-3, 6-2 and 6-4, 6-2, respectively). On the other hand, other than the competitive showing in the second round of Cagliari Challenger (l. Mariano Navone), S. Mochizuki might have shocked the most on paper as he stunned clay frequents Nick Hardt 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 and 18th seed Stefano Napolitano 6-3, 6-2 in a confident showing during the first two qualifying rounds, showing that his competitiveness paid off thanks to trusting his strokes and pacing. This match might not be any different, judging by how offensive both players could be, but being passive would not help as well as their past matches showed.

S. Mochizuki started the first set with an early break (1-0) thanks to his preceding forehand to 0-0* 30-30 in the first set, already outhitting F. Bagnis' forehand before consolidating his lead to 2-0. Despite being broken back to 2-2, he bounced back by breaking again to 5-4 thanks to his preceding backhand. He became more aggressive as he went after F. Bagnis' forehand to generate his break point, eventually breaking to 5-4. The same aggression that likely helped him to win the Barletta Challenger last year bore fruit as he took the first set 6-4, setting up his set point with a working volley beforehand. However, S. Mochizuki picked up decent form by breaking early to 1-0 thanks to his preceding backhand 2 points into the first game while F. Bagnis erred his forehands, followed by consolidation to 2-0, and the Argentinean 13th seed took a medical timeout for his left leg. Taking a precaution, he retired right before he served at the beginning of the third game, sending S. Mochizuki to the main draw, his third since he qualified for the Wimbledon Championships 2023 and became a lucky loser in the Australian Open 2024.

Section 15: Hamad Medjedovic [15] def. Geoffrey Blancaneaux 6-2, 6-2

Hamad Medjedovic's points to 1-1* 15-40, 1st set (top left), to break 2-1, 1st set (top right), to 1-1* 0-40, 2nd set (top right), and to 4-2* 0-15 (bottom right) (📸 Eurosport GB)

After being back from illness, H. Medjedovic re-started his season with a bang, most notably taking a set off Daniil Medvedev despite the loss at 6-7(5), 6-2, 5-7 as a qualifier after defeating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, all in the first two rounds of Rome Masters 1000. Here, he stunned Lucas Pouille 6-3, 7-5 in a high-quality battle during the first qualifying round, compared to G. Blancaneaux, who also qualified last year, had a poor clay season with the early exits even after winning the New Delhi Challenger on the hard courts, but he managed to score a Top 150 win in Duje Ajdukovic, 7-5, 6-4, in the second qualifying round. This match would test their offensives, where one who appeared more aggressive could prevail.

Even though H. Medjedovic had to survive a nervy start as he faced a break point earlier in the first game due to his forehand error, but he still managed to hold his serves to 1-0 in the first set. G. Blancaneaux might have started the third game with a forehand error, but the 2023 NextGen Finals champion scored his earliest break point of the game through a drop shot before converting it via a forehand winner (3-1). The former turned out to double the break thanks to his fourth-shot forehand winner, taking the first set 6-2 through an unreturned serve as he survived the tendency to rush his third-shot forehands midway. He continued the dominance in the second set as he fired a backhand down-the-line winner to create his break point in the third game before eventually breaking to 2-1. Almost replicating the previous set, his cross-court backhand winner preceded another forehand winner for the first two points of the seventh game, dominating his way to break again 5-2 before finally getting the straight-set victory (6-2), concluding the match in a confident showing compared to his qualification last year.

Section 14: Valentin Vacherot [14] def. Billy Harris 7-6(2), 7-5

Valentin Vacherot's point to *2-2 30-30 (1st set) (top left), to 6-6(2-1, 1st set tie-breaker) (top right), to break 4-3 in the 2nd set (bottom left), and to hold 4-4 in the 2nd set (bottom right) (📸 Eurosport GB)

Vacherot could not stop rolling since winning the Nonthaburi 1-2 and Pune Challengers, kept rising until he also became a semifinalist in the Aix-en-Provence Challenger as eventual champion Alejandro Tabilo defeated him in 3 sets. In the Roland Garros qualifying rounds itself, Vacherot defeated Gabriel Debru and Enzo Couacaud in identical scorelines (4-6, 6-3, 7-5), including a comeback win from 4-6, 0-2 in the latter match before facing Billy Harris, who adapted well on clay as he notably tussled with Bernabe Zapata Miralles in the quarterfinals of the Barcelona Challenger despite the 5-7, 6-7(2) loss as well as taking a set off Hugo Dellien of all people in the Rome (Italy) Challenger quarterfinals before stunning 17th seed Emilio Nava 6-3, 4-6, 6-1, followed by fighting his way to defeat wild card Manuel Guinard 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(4) in the second qualifying round. This could be a tough ordeal for B. Harris, considering Vacherot’s form and offensives, but nothing is impossible until the match is called.

This match once again turned out to be another classic Vacherot rollercoaster (in Roland Garros qualifying terms). Starting the match by almost breaking early due to B. Harris’ +1 forehand error before the Brit held to 2-2 in the first set, Vacherot overcame another deficit through a notable backhand down-the-line winner in the fifth game only to get broken in the seventh game due to his forehand errors (4-3). As B. Harris should have served for the first set in the tenth game, the Monegasque 14th seed broke back to 5-5 thanks to his constant redirections as he got even more comfortable with his angles, asking further shot placement questions to B. Harris. Sealing the first set after nailing the tie-breaker 7-6(2), not looking back as he led 2-1 in the breaker thanks to his backhand winner, Vacherot somehow got broken early again to 2-0 for the same reason with the first set (forehand). However, Vacherot bounced back, regaining his accurate forehands in time with a winner to break it (4-3). Volleying his way to strengthen his position (4-4), Vacherot earned the crucial break in the eleventh game (6-5) as his forehand down-the-line winner paved the way, successfully serving it out (7-5) to keep on rolling in this season.

Section 11: Giulio Zeppieri [31] def. Otto Virtanen 6-2, 6-2

Giulio Zeppieri's point to 3-1* 40-ad (latest break point, 1st set) (top left), to *0-0 0-30 in the 2nd set (top right), and to 3-1* 40-ad in the 2nd set (bottom) (📸 Eurosport GB)

Despite having a subpar clay season and an underwhelming first part of the Asian Challenger swing on the hard courts beforehand, most of which was a result of his unserious mode coming out, except in some occasions where he was competitive enough despite the loss (e.g. in the second round of the Mauthausen Challenger against Max Hans Rehberg and the first qualifying round of the Turin Challenger against Marc-Andrea Huesler), O. Virtanen became even more serious during the Roland Garros qualification rounds, having a solid showing against Dane Sweeny 6-2, 6-3 and stunning the 11th seed Dominic Thiem 6-3, 7-5 in the Austrian's last-ever Roland Garros match. He faced a decent test in 31st seed Giulio Zeppieri, who, despite also his competitive early eliminations in most Challenger events he partook (most notably got defeated by Fabio Fognini 6-2, 6-3 in the first round of the Turin Challenger as a qualifier), he managed to regain his clay-court form in time as he defeated his fellow Italian Stefano Travaglia 6-3, 6-2 and survived trouble as he defeated Adrian Andreev 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 in another close encounter. Knowing both players, this should be one of those days where the more aggressive one would prevail in this match, but only those who could stay consistent in their range.

O. Virtanen started the match unseriously as his forehand errors resulted in G. Zeppieri breaking early to 1-0. Somehow, even with the Finn’s best efforts to save the break points, G. Zeppieri’s smash secured his latest break point before he doubled the break to 4-1, and he did not look back as he took the first set 6-2. Almost similarly, the Italian 31st seed started the second set with an early break due to O. Virtanen’s erratic showing, but the former had a forehand pass to O. Virtanen’s position at the net to generate his second break point before doubling the break in the same spot with the first set (fifth game). Consolidating his position with a service game hold (5-1), G. Zeppieri affirmed his dominance by also taking the second set 6-2, doing what he had to do to secure his spot in the main draw, just like when he became the first to qualify in the Australian Open this year.

Section 12: Gustavo Heide def. Matteo Gigante [28] 6-3, 6-2

Gustavo Heide's points to 1-1* 40-40, 1st set (top left), to 5-2* 40-ad (set point-setting, 1st set, top right), to 5-2* 40-40, 2nd set (bottom left), and to 5-2* 40-ad, 2nd set (bottom right) (📸 Eurosport GB)

Trying to show the potential he has, M. Gigante came to this clay season prepared despite several rollercoasters, one of which was the Napoli Challenger quarterfinal against Luca Nardi, which he lost 6-4, 4-6, 1-6 while surviving the Marrakech qualification rounds as he defeated both Karim Bennani and Rudolf Molleker in 3 sets before having to retire down 3-6, 0-2 against Roberto Carballes Baena in the first round. This was also the case in this year's Roland Garros qualification rounds, as he had to survive two three-set matches against wild card Sacha Gueymard Wayenburg (6-4, 5-7, 6-4) and Dalibor Svrcina (4-6, 6-3, 7-5), coming back from a break down against the latter. In contrast, G. Heide came from his maiden Challenger title in Asuncion (d. Joao Fonseca 7-5, 6-7(6), 6-1) despite exiting in the second round in all his European clay campaigns (Mauthausen & Oeiras 4 Challengers), somehow navigating his way through the Roland Garros qualifying rounds after pulling a whole comeback against 12th seed Lukas Klein 1-6, 6-3, 7-6(5) and Bu Yunchaokete 7-5, 6-3 in a more convincing manner. This match could be a classic, decent test that showcased the best in them, with the more balanced player standing out in this match.

G. Heide commenced the match by breaking early to 2-1 as he outhit M. Gigante’s forehands while firing a working volley to secure the first deuce before the said break. He consolidated his lead to 3-1 and turned out to break for the first set (6-3) several games later after a backhand error fumbled M. Gigante’s break point, followed by his frequent forehand errors. Several games in, both players turned out to tussle for in total of 24 minutes including the first two games right after the Italian 29th seed forced the first deuce. By the conclusion of the third game, G. Heide had a massive hold to 2-1, which turned out to be crucial as he broke to 4-2 after a 0-hold due to M. Gigante’s frequent backhand errors and double faults (at least twice of the latter’s mistakes along the way). Without looking back, G. Heide strengthened his position with a service game hold to 5-2, constructing his break point through his preceding backhands after forcing a deuce through a backhand winner before taking the second set 6-2 due to M. Gigante’s forehand error, securing his maiden Grand Slam main draw appearance as he continued to rise this season.

Section 3: Mattia Bellucci def. Alejandro Moro Canas 3-6, 6-2, 7-6(7)

Mattia Bellucci's point to 5-3* 0-15, 1st set (top left), to *1-2 15-30, 2nd set (top right), and to *3-4 15-30, 3rd set (bottom) (📸 Eurosport GB)

A. Moro Canas came to the Roland Garros qualifying rounds completely in form, which started from his second-round loss against Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-1 after stunning Dominic Thiem 6-4, 6-4 in the first round for his first-level ATP-level victory. Building up from there, he went on to win his maiden Challenger title in Rome (Italy), defeating his fellow first-time finalist Vilius Gaubas 7-5, 6-3 after denying the Lithuanian youngster the chance to serve for the first set, continuing this with a confident showing in the first two qualifying rounds as he defeated Marc Polmans 6-1, 6-2 and wild card Maxime Janvier 6-3, 6-4 to set a clash against Mattia Bellucci. In contrast, the Italian had an interesting approach, reaching the quarterfinals in the hard courts of the Shenzhen (Luohu) Challenger (l. James Duckworth) for his best showing in the first part of the Asian Challenger swing before returning to Europe, starting his clay season in the Turin Challenger qualifying rounds as he defeated Alexis Galarneau 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-2 after a scrappy start only to be defeated by an in-form Francesco Maestrelli 6-3, 6-2 in the first round. He followed this up by defeating Matteo Martineau 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 and stunning 20th seed Lloyd Harris 6-1, 7-6(9) after recovering from a 1-4 deficit in the tie-breaker and surviving a set point, setting this encounter that could come down to their pressure points’ handling despite their fiery groundstrokes at their best. Indeed, the match did not disappoint, it had everything.

As A. Moro Canas dominated the first set through his powerful aggression, taking the first set 6-3 while surviving the Italian’s backhand pass in hopes of prolonging the said set, M. Bellucci steadily struck back from the baseline, which pressed A. Moro Canas’ second serves enough for the Spaniard to commit a double fault to be broken (1-3). M. Bellucci then consolidated his lead to 4-1 and ended up going after A. Moro Canas’ forehands, which assisted him in breaking for the second set 6-2. The deciding set turned out to play a big role as both players upped their aggression against each other and struck the ball as cleanly as possible, as well as displaying their stellar point constructions in between. This included M. Bellucci’s notable drop shot for a one-point lead even if it was neutralized through a backhand pass, where the Italian held his service game to 4-3 even if he had to survive a break point back in the sixth game. With A. Moro Canas holding his service games to 6-6, a match tie-break occurred to determine the rest of the match, where the former was unable to capitalize on his 4-2 lead (which happened due to M. Bellucci’s double-fault right at the first point of the breaker), followed by a volley error. Subsequently, A. Moro Canas’ forehand error, which was fired too long, generated M. Bellucci’s mini-break to 6-5, and even though he had a match point saved earlier, an unreturned serve converted the match point as M. Bellucci took the third set 7-6(7), thus securing his spot in the main draw.

Section 10: Gregoire Barrere [10] def. Denis Kudla 3-6, 6-2, 6-3

Gregoire Barrere's points to 0-1* 0-30, 1st set (top left), 1-0* 0-40, 2nd set (top right), to take the 2nd set 6-2 (bottom left), and to 1-0* 30-30, 3rd set (bottom right) (📸 Eurosport GB)

G. Barrere might have had a slow start to the season back on the hard courts, but the clay season turned out to be a perfect moment for him to bounce back from these setbacks. Most notably, he reached the semifinals of Bucharest (250) (l. Mariano Navone) and Aix-en-Provence Challenger (l. Arthur Fils), defeating wild card Theo Papamalamis 6-3, 6-1 and Andrea Pellegrino 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 coming to the Roland Garros third qualifying round. On the other hand, outside of the San Luis Potosi Challenger semifinal, it was a subpar clay-court campaign for Denis Kudla before suddenly goating in the French Open qualifying rounds, as he defeated other clay-court frequents Jan Choinski 6-4, 6-4, and 19th seed Vit Kopriva 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the first two qualifying rounds. As the more aggressive one from the said two players took this, this ended up testing their range consistency when the match allowed, especially with such pacing.

Even though this match started with D. Kudla suddenly peaking through his passes, G. Barrere had a notable backhand down-the-line winner to win the second point of the second game (in the first set) in hopes of breaking back, but to no avail even if he had several break points as D. Kudla held his serves to 2-0, and turned out to dominate the flow as he doubled the break and took the first set 6-2. However, G. Barrere regrouped after he held the first game of the second game, creating his break point with a volley before he broke to 2-0. Even if he got broken back right after as D. Kudla leveled the play (2-1), G. Barrere went after D. Kudla’s forehands to break again to 4-2, topped by the American’s double-fault. By then, G. Barrere broke again for the second set thanks to his backhand to D. Kudla’s slice error as he targeted D. Kudla’s forehands midway. The French 10th seed then emphasized the importance of his setup as his preceding backhand equalized the play in the fourth point of the second game (1-0* to 30-30) before D. Kudla’s two consecutive double faults secured the former’s break of serve (2-0). Since then, G. Barrere did not look back, strengthening his lead to 3-0 while almost demolishing D. Kudla as he forced the deuce in the fourth game. Ultimately, even if D. Kudla held his service games, it was insufficient to put more pressure on G. Barrere as the Frenchman took the 3rd set 6-3, confirming his resurgence with a main draw spot in his home Slam.

Section 9: Gabriel Diallo def. Alexander Ritschard 3-6, 6-2, 6-3

Gabriel Diallo's point to 2-1* 40-ad (earlier break point, 2nd set, top left), to 5-2* 0-40 in the 2nd set (top right), to 1-2* 30-40 (3rd break point, 3rd set, bottom left), and 3-2* 30-40 (1st break point, 3rd set, bottom right) (📸 Eurosport GB)

This clash might have been overlooked on paper as several other names were favored instead, but they proved that nothing is impossible. Gabriel Diallo built his rally tolerance a long way despite his loss to Mitchell Krueger in 2 tie-break sets back in Houston (250), fighting his way despite his elimination to eventual champion Thanasi Kokkinakis 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-7(3) in a 3-hour-30-minute battle, and displaying it as well in the first round of the Mauthausen Challenger before he had to retire down 6-3, 5-7, 2-4 against Lukas Neumayer. Interestingly, as he also defeated some clay-court frequents along the way, which included Orlando Luz and Hugo Dellien in the Turin Challenger qualifying rounds, he also dug deep to defeat Argentineans Genaro Alberto Olivieri 7-5, 6-7(4), 6-1 and Marco Trungelliti 7-6(6), 3-6, 6-4 in the first two qualifying rounds in Roland Garros. On the other hand, A. Ritschard had an intriguing United States clay campaign, as he qualified for the Houston (250) before being defeated by J.J. Wolf in the first round and went on to win the Savannah Challenger after defeating qualifier Andres Andrade 6-2, 6-4 for the first time since the Hamburg Challenger 2022, going straight to the Roland Garros qualifying rounds by confidently stunning the Oeiras 4 Challenger runner-up, Elias Ymer, 6-2, 6-1, and Titouan Droguet 6-1, 6-3 in the first two qualifying rounds. For either player, this could be all to play for, showcasing everything they got in terms of their point construction and some balanced plays for a spot in the main draw.

In the first set, G. Diallo struggled with forehand errors, allowing A. Ritschard to break early (1-0) and take a 2-0 lead. The same forehand error resulted in A. Ritschard’s double-break lead, where he eventually took the first set 6-2. Nonetheless, the Canadian started to hit the ball even harder, smashing it to generate his third break point before finally breaking to 3-1 due to A. Ritschard’s forehand error, and held his service game afterward to 4-1. Ultimately, G. Diallo forced the deciding set as he broke to 6-2, getting broken early moments after he double-faulted in the fourth game of the first game to start the third set. The Canadian returned from the brink by becoming more offensive, breaking back to 2-2 before doing it again to 4-2 as his forehand winner generated his first break point, eventually taking the 5-2 lead. Two games later, after overcoming a couple of deficits, G. Diallo served for the match (6-3) and secured his first appearance in a Grand Slam-level main draw. This win showcased improvements in his rally tolerance and pacing on red clay. Interestingly, the final scoreline coincidentally matched that of a previous match in Section 10.

What If Choices' Race-customizable LIs Had Surnames Reflective Of Their Ethnicity?: An Experiment Just For Fun (Part 2/3)

Info in Part 1

Part 3

HOT COUTURE

Marco Diallo

This face option is described in the asset files as "Black". I did a cursory research and learned that there is a significant Black Italian community of immigrants from Cameroon, so that's my headcanon for him and his family. I chose the Fulani surname Diallo because it starts with a Di like Di Vincenzo.

Marco Diệp

This face option is described in the asset files as "Asian". The most significant Asian Italian community is Chinese Italians, but I didn't find a Chinese surname starting with the sound Di that sounded right to me. So I went with the Vietnamese Diệp.

HOT SHOT

Casey Jamil

These face options are described in the asset files as "Middle Eastern". The Arabic surname Jamil was a spelling match for Jameson, and this spelling appears to be common in Syria and Iraq. So if they had this surname they could be Syrian or Iraqi.

IMMORTAL DESIRES

Cassius Han / Cassandra Han

These face options are described in the asset files as "Asian". The Japanese surname Harada is a spelling match for Harlow but I already used Harada for the LI of Guarded. Also, I keep seeing people comparing the masc face to this one Kpop singer, I forget who, so it gave me the headcanon that these faces are Korean. The Korean surname Han seemed like a pretty solid match for Harlow, and it's also a Chinese surname too so they could be Chinese with this surname. Also I know fem Cas's full name is canonically Cassie but like many others on this internet website I am a Cassandra Harlow truther because I think it sounds better.

Gabriel Almánzar / Gabriela Almánzar

These face options are described in the asset files as "Latinx". Couldn't find any Spanish or Portuguese language surnames that start with "Ad" so I went with a Spanish surname that starts with "A" and retains the "A-al-ar" sounds from Adalhard.

LAWS OF ATTRACTION

Gabe Ryu

This face option is described in the asset files as "Asian". Almost went with the Korean surname Rhee but I already chose it for TPS LI and also I think the Korean surname Ryu looks cooler on a law firm plaque. lol

MS. MATCH

Jack Mansour / Jacqueline Mansour

These face options are described in the asset files as "Arabic". Mansour was a close Arabic-language sound match to Monroe. This spelling seems to be common across all of North Africa and the Middle East. So I guess they could be from any of those places with that surname.

MY TWO FIRST LOVES

Noah Higuchi

This face option is descrbed in the asset files as "Asian". Another LI with a surname starting with "Har" which can correspond with the Japanese surname Harada but I already used that and also "Noah Harada" has too many open "A" sounds in a row for my liking. So I just chose a cool sounding Japanese name starting with the letter H because this face option looks Japanese to me.

Ava Lozano

This face option is described in the asset files as "Hispanic". Lozano was the closest Spanish-language surname I could find to Lawrence. The Spanish form of the first name Lawrence is Lorenzo, but it doesn't appear to be used as a surname like Lawrence is in English-speaking countries.

Mason Jiménez

This face option is described in the asset files as "Hispanic". Couldn't find Spanish-language surnames that start with the same sound as Jennings. If my memory is correct I don't think Spanish has that sound? Jiménez has a lot of the same letters though so? That should work?

THE NANNY AFFAIR

Sam Delgado / Samantha Delgado

These face options are described in the asset files as "Hispanic". I considered the Spanish surname de la Torre because it retained the D-L-T-O sounds from Dalton but I thought Delgado sounded cooler……?

THE PHANTOM AGENT

Karan Gill / Sameera Gill

These face options are described in the files as "Indian". I considered the surnames Giri (broadly Indian, common in Nepal I think?) and Ghauri (common in Pakistan as far as I can tell?) for sound matches for Gray but Gill (Punjabi) sounded cooler. Also there was nothing necessarily wrong with the names Callum and Samara other than I don't like them. So I assigned them new Indian names…….

By • Olalekan Fagbade EPL: Arsenal vs Man Utd – A preview Arsenal have been presented with their biggest challenge of the new season as they welcome Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Mikel Arteta’s men could use this game to send out a message to the rest of the teams in the EPL on how prepared they are this season. To make a big statement in the EPL title race, the Gunners should be able to beat Manchester United this weekend. Their last game ended in a disappointing draw against Fulham and the result left the Gunners with questions to answer. However, the worries for Mikel Arteta’s team are not quite as extensive as those of their weekend opponents. United have started the season in a very curious way: a mediocre performance against Wolves and Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford, which they somehow won, and a defeat to Tottenham. Fans of both teams would see this weekend clash as a key early-season litmus test of their clubs’ potential Team news: Arsenal’s second-choice frontman, Eddie Nketiah, will be fit for the game despite fears of a potential knee injury. Also, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus could return to the starting XI. However, Arsenal fans should not expect to see the likes of Jurrien Timber and Mohamed Elneny as they remain sidelined. For Manchester United, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have been ruled out Also out of the game are Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo. However, Erik ten Hag announced during his pre-match press briefing on Friday that new striker, Rasmus Hojlund is ready for action. Head to head (h2h): Manchester United have not beaten Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in almost six years.

13 Ağustos 2023 Jannik Sinner Alex de Minaur Maçı

*Merkez Kort'ta saat 23:10'da başlayacak olan Rogers National Bank Açık Final maçı. Bu sene erkeklere Toronto ev sahipliği yapıyor. İki taraf da ilk kez Kanada'da finalde. Ayrıca iki oyuncu da kariyerlerinde ilk kez Masters 1000 şampiyonluğu tatmak istiyor. İtalyan Sinner daha önce 2021 ve bu sene olmak üzere 2 Miami finali gördü ama başarılı olamadı. Bu sezon Montpellier'le birlikte ikinci, toplamda da 8. tekler kupasının peşinde olacak. De Minaur ise ilk kez bir Masters 1000 organizasyonu finalinde yer alacak. Bu ilki bir adım daha ileriye götürüp kariyerinin en büyük başarısına imza atmayı isteyecek. Avustralyalı raket de Acapulco'dan sonra 2023'teki ikinci, toplamda da 8. turnuva galibiyetini arayacak. Heyecanlı ve iyi bir kapanış dileriz.

Her iki raketin de final yolu:

-Jannik Sinner-

#1. Tur = bay.

#2. Tur = Matteo Berrettini (6-4/6-3)

#3. Tur = Andy Murray (w/o)

#Çeyrek Final = Gael Monfils (6-4/4-6/6-3)

#Yarı Final = Tommy Paul (6-4/6-4)

-Alex de Minaur-

#1. Tur = Cameron Norrie (7-5/6-4)

#2. Tur = Gabriel Diallo (6-4/7-5)

#3. Tur = Taylor Fritz (7-6[9-7]/4-6/6-1)

#Çeyrek Final = Daniil Medvedev (7-6[9-7]/7-5)

#Yarı Final = Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (6-1/6-3)

*Tivibu Spor 1'den naklen yayınlanacak olan maç.

*İlk sette 6-4'lük üstünlük kuran Sinner 1-0 öne geçti. İtalyan raketin hızlı başlangıcına De Minaur'dan yanıt geldi. Ardından bir karşılıklı break sekansı daha izledik. Son oyunda ise Sinner 0'a karşı kırdı ve seti de bitirmeyi başardı. İtalyan oyuncu ilk adımı attı böylece.

*İkinci seti 6-1 ile noktalan Sinner 2-0 kazandı ve kariyerinin ilk Masters 1000 zaferine ulaştı. Dengeli başlayan bir bölüm vardı ama ilk break'i Sinner bulduktan sonra uçup gitti ve hızlıca noktayı koydu. İtalyan raket ayrıca 8. şampiyonluğunu da gördü.

Mauthausen Ch R1: Lukas Neumayer def. Gabriel Diallo [3] 4-6, 7-5, 4-2 ret. Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

G. Diallo tried to adapt his game into the red clay, where he built his rally tolerance as he constructed his points. Some turned out to produce some notable winners, but it was insufficient for him to close things out as L. Neumayer started redirecting. With such pace, it might have taken a while for him to get the hang out of the rhythm, but the physicality necessary affected his abdomen, thus his immediate retirement in the third set. Somehow, even bar the retirement, both G. Diallo and L. Neumayer utilized their aggression to generate 7 break points, with the latter breaking thrice thanks to his baseline efforts.

Furthermore, even before the retirement, L. Neumayer still had a more consistent service game despite the slight differences. Even though G. Diallo fired 3 aces, some of which got himself out of some troubles, L. Neumayer still won 6% more points from his first serves with 76%, making it appeared exceptional. On the other hand, despite double-faulting 5 times, the Austrian still won 4% more points than G. Diallo, whose second serves looked slightly more vulnerable at 51%, thus it appeared risky even before the back injury that might have affected his serve.

In the second round, L. Neumayer will face alternate Dimitar Kuzmanov, who defeated qualifier Mohamed Safwat 6-3, 6-2 earlier in the first round. A test of aggression definitely awaits, alongside their balance considering how often they struck each other from the baseline with their depths. Could be an intriguing encounter in one sense or another.

Manchester United beat Arsenal in New Jersey friendly

Manchester United gained bragging rights over rivals Arsenal as first-half goals from Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho sealed a 2-0 friendly win at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The match was played in front of a stadium soccer record crowd of 82,262. Fernandes celebrated being appointed United's new captain by beating Aaron Ramsdale from 20 yards, although the Arsenal keeper could have done better. And Sancho doubled the advantage with a powerful shot into the top corner. The winger, playing as a false nine in an outfield line-up manager Erik ten Hag changed completely at half-time, finished after speeding on to a mistake from Gabriel. However it was not all good news for United, who lost forward Amad Diallo to injury minutes after his introduction at the interval. Arsenal created a number of chances but failed to find the net, including Gabriel's late header which was deflected wide. Towards the end of the game some fans started throwing punches at each other in the stand behind the United goal, although the altercation was quickly resolved. After the final whistle, the two teams took part in a penalty shoot-out - with both managers having decided their players needed to practise in front of a crowd. United won that too, 5-3, after Arsenal's Fabio Vieira skied his effort over the bar. Read the full article

Au Sénégal, Adji Raby Sarr prend la posture de l’autre « Juge constitutionnel ». Adji Raby Sarr, plus connue sous le nom de Adji Sarr , cette jeune occupe désormais une place prépondérante dans la vie politique de son pays .À l’hiver 2021 , son visage s’affiche dans tous les journaux sénégalais et plus tard de l’Afrique voire du monde entier. Adji Raby Sarr : l’autre « Juge constitutionnel » au Sénégal candidats-serieux-a-la-Presidentielle-2024-pour-la-succession-de-Macky-Sall-_presidentielle-2024. Février 2021 , les Sénégalais vivent encore les restrictions liées à la pandémie du Covid19 , les dégâts collatéraux des mesures gouvernementales pour essayer gérer au mieux la maladie ont fini par détruire ce qui restait d’une économie déjà extrêmement fragile. → A LIRE AUSSI Présidentielle 2024 : Qui sont les candidats sérieux à la succession de Macky Sall ? C’est dans ce contexte de dégradation et de crise économique très éprouvante pour les populations qu’allait naître d’abord une rumeur qui vite deviendra l’affaire Sweet Beauté du nom du salon de massage où les faits se seraient déroulés . Le leader de l’opposition sénégalaise Ousmane Sonko est accusé par cette fille de viols répétitifs à l’aide de deux armes à feu dans un salon de massage. → A LIRE AUSSI Présidence de l’Assemblée nationale, présidentielle 2024 : L’opposition et les signes avant-coureurs d’un divorce Très vite, le dossier prend une tournure politique puisque toute l’opposition autour du premier responsable du parti Pastef y voit la main du pouvoir qui venait déjà d’éliminer de la course à la présidentielle de 2019 deux adversaires de taille : le fils de l’ancien président Abdoulaye Wade, le candidat du parti démocratique sénégalais (PDS) et le maire de Dakar Khalifa Ababacar Sall, cacique du Parti Socialiste (PS ).. Dès lors la perspective d’un procès au pénal qui risquerait de disqualifier le chef de l’opposition Ousmane Sonko en cas de condamnation crée un climat de tension et de suspicion généralisée, une véritable épée de Damoclès au dessus de la démocratie sénégalaise. Procès contre Mame Mbaye Niang Sonko annonce qu’il sera demain au Tribunal - Netcomsn → A LIRE AUSSI « Je suis candidat » : Après Ousmane Sonko, un autre se lance pour la Présidentielle de 2024 Une situation de déjà-vu qui fait naître une sorte de syndrome du combat sans adversaires dont on prête le chef de l’état le président Macky Sall d’être le champion. La première partie du volet judiciaire s’avère un échec , puisqu’aucun témoin ne va dans le sens de l’accusation et pire le médecin gynécologue chargée par la gendarmerie d’examiner la plaignante le jour des présumés faits met fin aux débats en concluant au rapport intime dans les dernières 24 heures. Mais qu’importe , ils veulent un procès coûte que coûte , pourvu que le leader du Pastef soit condamné et retiré de la liste des candidats à la présidentielle de 2024. Les comités de soutien aux désormais prioritaires « droits inaliénables de Adji Raby Sarr » se multiplient. Des inconnus ou alors très peu en profitent pour être dans la lumière. Gabrielle Kane , Maty 3 Pommes , Françoise Hélène Gaye , le sulfureux et farfelu avocat maître El Hadji Diouf autour des principaux responsables de la coalition Benno Bok Yakar, font bloc pour enfoncer leur adversaire politique . Dans des moments de doute profond et de solitude Adji va faire un enregistrement audio de sa conversation. On y entend la voix de celui que beaucoup soupçonnaient d’être le commanditaire de ce complot , un ancien directeur des domaines Mamour Diallo que Ousmane Sonko identifie dans un détournement de plus 94 milliards d’argent public et privé . « Justice pour Adji Sarr » Me El Hadji Diouf suspendu par l’ordre des avocats avec effet immédiat_me-el-hadji-diouf- Malgré cette preuve très compromettante à huis clos avec la plaignante qui dévoile son rôle essentiel dans cette affaire , c

’est maintenant des opposants qui défendaient hier leur camarade de camp , qui réclament eux aussi « Justice pour Adji Sarr ». De Thierno Alassane Sall , Pape Djibril Fall à Thierno Bocoum etc, la liste est lingue. « Justice pour Adji Sarr » mais pas pour les 14 morts des émeutes de mars 2021 ni pour François Mancabou et d’autres Sénégalais qui ont besoin eux aussi que justice justice leur soit rendue, ne serait-ce que pour le repos de leur âme ! Alors que le simple fait de demander la tenue d’un procès est un parti pris étonnant puisqu’il sous-entend que la justice a les éléments nécessaires à sa mise en œuvre de ce jugement. Le revers de la médaille que les adversaires d’Ousmane Sonko ne prennent pas en compte , ce sont les effets boomerang de ce genre de procès. Dans un dossier où la plupart des Sénégalais ne doutent plus de son caractère politique , le fait de vouloir mettre en prison ou de sortir de la course à la présidentielle un leader aussi populaire et aussi représentatif de tant de pensées ne peut qu’être une tentative lourde de conséquences. Une validation de la candidature de Ousmane Sonko, qui sait ? khalif général Serigne Mountakha Mbacké prend une importante décision 🇸🇳 Touba Une tentation aussi d’utilisation de cette femme pour essayer d’humilier , lancer des propos obscènes et pornographique envers Ousmane Sonko sera la dernière étape d’une fracture sociale , politique et idéologique qui ne cesse de diviser ce pays avec des séquelles forcément indélébiles . N’est-ce pas également pour certains, juste une pression pour permettre de négocier une validation de la candidature de Ousmane Sonko contre cette du président Macky Sall pourtant clairement rejetée par la constitution ( Nul ne peut faire plus de deux mandats consécutifs ) qui sait ? Depuis la déclaration officielle de candidature du leader de Pastef à la présidentielle 2024 , le rôle de Adji Sarr est devenu central , une barrière à franchir avant le passage devant le conseil constitutionnel. Adji Sarr soutenue par la main invisible d’une bande d’anti-démocrates ? Adji Raby Sarr l’autre « Juge constitutionnel » au Sénégal_senegal-adji-raby-sarr-lautre-22juge-constitutionnel22 Hormis les sept sages seuls habilités à valider ou non une troisième candidature très controversée du président Macky Sall à l’élection présidentielle de 2024 et toutes les autres , Adji Sarr est la seule citoyenne lambda à pouvoir jouer un rôle aussi important dans cette élection présidentielle Elle peut retirer sa plainte et apaiser le pays et surtout refuser d’être la main invisible d’une bande d’anti-démocrates qui souhaitent l’utiliser pour briser le rêve de millions de jeunes et de citoyens sénégalais de voir leur espoir se réaliser en confiant juste son destin politique au peuple. Elle peut également comme elle semble très déterminée à faire , servir de pion , de marionnette de sale besogne en faisant un premier obstacle au candidat de Pastef avant l’étape du dépôt officiel des candidatures. C’est hélas le scénario le plus redouté aujourd’hui , qui fait peser la psychose d’un embrasement de violence et d’affrontement dans ce SÉNÉGAL, cet havre paix et d’hospitalité . Mais comme on le dit souvent : « L’HOMME PROPOSE ET DIEU DISPOSE" VIVE LE SÉNÉGAL! Par Kafunel Avec Ibou Coly – Mis en ligne La Rédaction
