Pre-tournament favourites Germany produced a power-packed outing to defeat lower-ranked Chile 3-0 to open their campaign on a rousing note in the FIH Women's Olympic Qualifier in Ranchi on Saturday. In the opening Pool B match, world No.5 Germany rode on goals from Selin Oruz (7th minute), Jette Flescutz (10th) and Lisa Nolte (38th) to secure an easy win over world No.14 Chile. As expected, the Germans started aggressively and dominated most segments of the match with the Chileans showing sparks in patches.
Chilean qualifier Alejandro Tabilo capped a "crazy ride" by winning the Auckland Classic on Saturday, beating Taro Daniel 6-2, 7-5 in a final between two tournament outsiders. World number 82 Tabilo bagged his maiden ATP title, which he says will deliver an injection of confidence heading into the Australian Open after two years of pain and frustration. The 26-year-old's only other final appearance came on clay at the Cordoba Open in 2022, before his career path took a downward spiral.

Rafael Nadal avoided meeting a seed first up at his comeback tournament after drawing a qualifier in the Brisbane International, with Russia's Aslan Karatsev a potential second-round opponent. The 37-year-old Spaniard has been out of the game for almost 12 months following hip surgery after the 2023 Australian Open in January. It was feared that Nadal, the winner of 22 Grand Slam singles titles, would never play professionally again. However, he has fought his way back and was granted a wildcard to the season-opening Brisbane International in preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year at Melbourne Park beginning January 14.
Montreal will host a Davis Cup qualification tie between Canada and South Korea in February, Tennis Canada announced Thursday.
