Rafael Nadal has given his verdict on Daniil Medvedev's chances of becoming world No 1 this week. The Russian could become the first man outside of the 'Big Four' to hold the top spot of the rankings since 2004 after a successful last year including the US Open title and Australian Open runner-up spot.
Big-serving second seed Reilly Opelka beat Italy's Adriano Mannarino 6-3 6-4 to enter the semi-finals of the Dallas Open on Friday and complete an all-American final four.
Champions. Never count them out.
For the first time since 2009, Sunday could see Roger Federer eclipsed as the tennis player with the most Grand Slam titles. The Swiss star won a record 15th major of his career 12 years ago, overtaking Pete Sampras. Rafael Nadal, however, is now just a match away from eclipsing his long-term rival at the Australian Open.
There were no Americans in the quarterfinals of the singles draw at the US Open in September.
Por todos es conocida la versión ‘escapista’ de Djokovic, esa de la que tantas veces ha hecho gala para superar partidos por muy cuesta arriba que estuviesen. Pero su férrea voluntad para remontar marcadores adversos va más allá de su talento, ya que en muchas ocasiones ha recurrido a artimañas no tan deportivas con tal de ganar. En concreto, Djokovic se ha caracterizado por detener partidos debido a supuestas lesiones o problemas físicos, poco creíbles y de todo tipo (calambres, dolores de espalda, cuello, hombros, mareos e, incluso, incomodidad con las lentillas), que sus rivales han criticado duramente. “No me creo sus lesiones. Hablo en serio. Creo que finge que tiene esas lesiones” (Roger Federer); “Sufre hasta 16 lesiones en ciertos momentos del partido y aun así, sigue y los gana. Parece que tenga calambres, antrax o incluso la gripe aviar” (Andy Roddick); “Prefiero perder en la final y ser feliz, que ganar la final y volver a casa y ser un miserable” (Andy Murray); “Cada vez que se le complica el partido pide asistencia, no sé si es algo crónico en el hombro o sólo mental. Pero no me ha descentrado, sabía que pasaría, pasó en el Abierto de Estados Unidos y aquí. Y que seguirá pasando” (Pablo Carreño”, son algunas de las frases más contundentes que le han dedicado a Nole. Casi nada.
