MONZA, Italy: Charles Leclerc hopes Ferrari have put recent troubles behind them after giving the Italian team a great chance of winning on home soil by taking pole at Monza on Saturday.

NEW YORK: Norwegian Casper Ruud harnessed his mighty forehand to reach his second Grand Slam final this year by beating Russian Karen Khachanov 7-6(5) 6-2 5-7 6-2 at the US Open, keeping alive his hopes of reaching the top of the world rankings.
For several years, the changing of the guard in men’s tennis has long been discussed and it is now finally happening, according to Eurosport’s experts. Karen Khachanov, Casper Ruud, Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe made up the semi-finalists of the US Open, which guaranteed a new Grand Slam champion. Ad Six-time Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters believes it’s been “great” for tennis to see younger and lesser-known names go deep in the tournament at Flushing Meadows.
MADRID: Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti says if the injured Karim Benzema is unable to play in next week’s La Liga derby against Atletico Madrid it will rule the star striker out of contention for France’s Nations League World Cup warm up games. Benzema, hot favorite to pick up next month’s Ballon d’Or, suffered a right thigh injury in Tuesday’s 3-0 Champions League win at Celtic. And Ancelotti said on Saturday: “Karim? We’ll see if he can make the derby.
Casper Ruud is hoping his previous experience of playing a Grand Slam final will help when he takes on Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open title decider on Sunday, where the winner will also become the new world No. 1. Ruud became the first Norwegian to reach a major final at Roland Garros earlier this year and despite his defeat to Rafael Nadal in Paris, he believes there are lessons that can be drawn from that match that could come to his aid against Alcaraz.
COLOGNE, Germany: German soccer club Cologne have urged their fans to submit photos and videos to a police “evidence portal” to identify those responsible for violence at the Europa Conference League game in Nice. Thirty-two people were injured at Thursday’s match between Nice and Cologne when fights broke out among supporters in the stands at Allianz Riviera stadium.
Casper Ruud does not expect to match the popularity of Erling Haaland in his native Norway even if he beats Carlos Alcaraz to win the US Open and become world number one.
