Carlos Alcaraz arrive dans la peau de favori à Monte-Carlo. Un favori qui n'a pas répondu présent lors des derniers rendez-vous importants... La pression engendrée par l'absence de Jannik Sinner ne l'a pas aidé ces dernières semaines. A-t-il les épaules pour devenir le patron incontesté du circuit ? Il veut marquer l'histoire et l'a souvent répété. Mais il a aussi souvent souligné le fait de s'amuser. Peut-on concilier les deux ? Dans la 2e partie de Sans Filet, l'équipe débriefe les premiers tours de Monte-Carlo avec notamment la victoire de Gael Monfils sans oublier les pronostics de la journée. Arthur Fils débute contre Tallon Griekspoor, Corentin Moutet affronte Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Alexander Zverev a lui hérité de Matteo Berrettini et Stefanos Tsitsipas de Jordan Thompson.

El tenista ruso Andrey Rubrev generó la primera gran sorpresa de la edición 2024 de Roland Garros tras caer en tercera rueda ante el italiano Matteo Armaldi (7/6 6/2 6/4). En damas la vigente campeona del torneo, la polaca Iga Swiatek, fue de las primeras en sacar su boleto a octavos. Tras el sexto día de la competición saltaba la primera gran sorpresa de un Roland Garros que se queda sin uno de sus grandes candidatos, Andrey Rublev. El tenista ruso asumía su frustración en el que consideró ser uno de sus peores encuentros durante un Grand Slam. Parte de esa frustración se debió a la concentración constante del italiano Matteo Armaldi que dio el primer paso tras ganar al tie-Break en la primera manga. Acto seguido, el tenista trasalpino solo tuvo que esperar a que se expandiesen los miedos de su rival a medida que se prolongaba el duelo. Aún hay muchos se preguntan como el recién proclamado campeón del Master 1000 de Madrid pudo derrapar por completo generando un descontrol total, inusual en el (7/6 6/2 6/4)Tal vez por eso, el griego Tsitsipas, que fue el siguiente en entrar en la cancha donde había jugado Rublev tomo nota de lo sucedido y no dio opción alguna para el que ha sido una de las grandes sensaciones en esta primera semana, el chino Zhizhen Zhang. El tenista europeo daba cuenta de sus pretensiones este año en Paris, despachando al asiático en tan solo 1 H y media de juego con un rotundo marcador (6/3 6/3 6/1)No fue hasta bien entrada la noche que se repartieron otros dos pasaportes a octavos con mucho interés. El más notorio de ellos seria otorgado para el último superviviente de la representación francesa, Corentin Moutet. El “Enfant Terrible” del tenis internacional se aliaba con su público para hacer de las suyas con la intención de montar un gran jaleo. Y vaya que lo hizo. Su presa … el austriaco Sebastian Ofner, que a pesar de resistir las embestidas provocadoras de Moutet durante el primer set acabaría rindiéndose a medida que el partido se prolongaba (3/6 6/4 6/4 6/1) Casi al mismo tiempo en la cancha central Philippe Chatrier, el español Carlos Alcaraz trataba de ser más comedido que en la ronda anterior donde cedió un set ante el neerlandés De Jong. Esta vez “Carlitos” sacrificaba la diversión por la eficacia ante un serio rival como fue el estadounidense Sebastian Korda. Y es que, a pesar de ganar en tres mangas, Alcaraz tuvo que elaborar punto por punto su victoria ante Korda. (6/4 7/6 6/3)Iga festejó su cumpleaños de la mejor manera En cuanto a las damas no hubo mayores sorpresas tras la consecución de los boletos para octavos de final de la italiana Elisabetta Cocciaretto quien apeaba a la rusa Luidmila Samsonova con un marcador de 6/7 6/2; la croata Donna Vekic quien remontaba un rosco para ganar en tres mangas a la serbia Olga Danilovic (0/6 7/5 7/6) y la estadounidense Coco Gauff que sellaba su pase en 2 sets ante la ucraniana Dayana Yastremka (6/2 6/4).Punto y parte fue la actuación la actuación de las dos grandes candidatas al título. Por un lado, la tunecina Ons Jabeur solventaba un peligroso duelo ante la canadiense Laylah Fernandez con la que tuvo que forzar un tie-break en la segunda manga (6/4 7/6) mientras que la numero 1 del mundo, la polaca Iga Swiatek no titubeó frente a la checa Marie Bouzcova tras el susto que se llevó en la ronda anterior frente la japonesa Osaka, quien estuvo a punto de eliminarla. Esta vez la vigente campeona del torneo jugó sin contemplaciones y no dejó desconcentrarse por el público anotando un claro 6/4 6/2. Nada más concluir el partido, las gradas se reconciliarían con la reina de la arcilla coreando el cumpleaños feliz el día que rebasó sus 23 primaveras.Últimos encuentros de tercera rondaEste sábado se tendrán que completar los emparejamientos de octavos de final con los últimos encuentros de tercera rueda donde participan los dos últimos supervivientes de la representación latinoamericana. El argentino Francisco Cerúndulo se mide, en un encuentro muy parejo a priori, al estadounidense Tommy Paul mientras que su compatriota Tomas Martin Etcheverry tendrá que enfrentarse a uno de los candidatos al título, el noruego Casper Ruud.En cuanto al resto de participantes cabe destacar la confrontación entre el numero 1 mundial, el serbio Novak Djpkovic, ante el italiano Lorenzo Musetti; la batalla que mantendrán el ruso Medmedev con el checo Machac y el duelo entre el alemán Zverez y el neerlandés Griekspoor.En el cuadro femenino habrá que estar atentos al partido que mide a la española Paula Badosa con la rusa Sabalenka y la confrontación fratricida entre las estadounidenses Madison Keys y Emma Navarro.
La lluvia trastocó los planes para el cierre de la primera rueda donde se pudieron estrenar sin mayores contratiempos la rusa Aryna Sabalenka, el noruego Casper Ruud o el australiano Alex de Minaur, entre otros. La lluvia volvía a hacer estragos en los encuentros de primera ronda tras una mañana sin competencia alguna salvo en las dos canchas con techo cubierto. Con tal atasco, los partidos se reanudaban a media tarde sin poder completar el programa del martes. En esas circunstancias tuvieron la suerte de jugar 5 raquetas argentinas con suerte dispar. Tres de ellas salieron derrotadas. María Lourdes Carle caía tras un largo tie-break en el segundo set ante la belga Elise Martens (6/3 7/6). Federico Coria arañaba tan solo un set frente al solido estadounidense Taylor Fritz (6/2 1/6 2/6 1/6) mientras que Román Andrés Burruchaga se inclinaba sin chance alguna ante el alemán Jan-Lennars Struff (6/2 6/3 6/1)Pero entre tanta lluvia también aparecieron un par de rayos de sol. El primero de ellos tenía por nombre Mariano Navone. Uno de los mejores representantes que la armada argentina presentó este año en Paris. Su ascensión fulgurante en el ranking mundial le hizo entrar por la puerta grande en su segundo año parisino. Pese a que los nervios del estreno le jugasen una mala pasada en el primer set (7/5) ante el curtido español Pablo Carreño, el albiceleste se supo reconducir en las tres mangas posteriores donde impuso su juego para dominar por completo el resto del partido (5/7 6/1 6/3 6/0). Sin duda alguna Navone dejó muy gratas sensaciones de cara a la segunda rueda, aunque quiere seguir manteniendo los pies en el suelo.El otro rayo de sol calentó el ambiente de uno de los dos recintos cubiertos. Más que meritoria fue la clasificación a segunda rueda del argentino Tomas Martin Etcheverry que salió indemne de una encerrona en la cancha Suzanne Lenglen ante la nueva perla del tenis francés, Arthur Cazaux. El tenista local que empezó ganando la primera manga, sucumbía en las dos siguientes para engancharse a un cuarto y definitivo set donde el público enloqueció por momentos pensando en una gran remontada. Menos mal que el tenista sudamericano supo contemporizar y mantener la concentración en el momento más crítico. Una situación que se antojó determinante para ganar un encuentro que no fue nada fácil y que seguramente le otorgara una moral extra para los días venideros. (3/6 6/2 6/1 6/4) Los últimos favoritos se estrenaban sin mayor contratiempoEn el cuadro femenino la china Qinwen Zheng sellaba su pase a segunda rueda tras zamparse a la local Alizé Cornet en dos solidas mangas (6/2 6/1) mientras que la cabeza de serie número 4, la kazaja Elena Rybakina demostraba su candidatura al título tras eliminar en 1h 13m a la belga Greet Minnen (6/2 6/3)En cuanto a los hombres, el noruego Casper Ruud fue el primero en sellar su estreno con nota tras apear al brasileño Felipe Meligen Alves en tres sets (6/3 6/4 6/3). Le siguió australiano Alex de Minaur que solventaba fácilmente su cita con el estadounidense Alex Michelsen (6/1 6/0 6/2) y les acompaño el danés Holger Rune que dejo pocas opciones al británico Daniel Evans (6/4 6/4 6/4) Inicio de la segunda ronda Este miércoles se empiezan a reducir los cuadros con la apertura de una segunda rueda donde destacara el duelo que mantendrán el veterano e invitado francés Richad Gasquet ante el número 2 mundial, el italiano Jannik Sinner. Será otro día para volverá ver brillar en la arcilla parisinas a la numero 1 mundial y vigente campeona Iga Swiatek, la tercera sembrada, la estadounidense Coco Gauff y su compatriota Danielle Collins. En hombres participarán una buena lista de candidatos al título como el griego Tsitsipas, el polaco Hurkacz, el ruso Rublev y el español Alcaraz.En cuanto a la participación latinoamericana la atención estará centrada en el partido que la colombiana Camila Osorio enfrentará a la gran especialista en arcilla, la tunecina Ons Jabeur y el choque que enfrentará al argentino Sebastián Baez con su tocayo, el austriaco Sebastian Ofner
Stefanos Tsitsipas a fait forte impression face à Tomas Martin Etcheverry pour son entrée en lice à Monte-Carlo. Breaké d'entrée, le Grec a finalement aligné 12 jeux de suite pour s'imposer 6/1 6/0. Tsitsipas va-t-il confirmer cette embellie face à Alexander Zverev en huitièmes de finale ? L'équipe debriefe également les victoires de Jannik Sinner et Daniil Medvedev sans oublier de revenir sur l'élimination du tenant du titre, Andrey Rublev... Dans la 2e partie de l'émission place aux pronostics. Qui décrochera sa place en quart de finale ? Les affiches du jour son particulièrement alléchantes. Novak Djokovic retrouve son bourreau de l'an dernier, Lorenzo Musetti tout comme Ugo Humbert. Le Français affronte Lorenzo Sonego. L'Italien avait sorti Humbert sur le Rocher et avait confirmer sa domination à Paris quelques semaines plus tard. Jannik sinner est également de la partie. L'homme de ce début de saison a rendez-vous avec Struff. Peut-il se faire surprendre ?
Our narrative commences on the verdant battlegrounds of the Australian Open, as the formidable Novak Djokovic, renowned on the global scale, makes his gallant return. Undeniably, Djokovic graces the top of the world tennis rankings, continuing to burgeon his victorious enterprise. His gaze steadfastly fixed on lofty aspirations: to clutch his 25th Grand Slam trophy and secure an eleventh triumphant chapter in the chronicles of Melbourne. The triumphal pathway echoed his triumphant legacy when he bested Tomas Martin Etcheverry in a straightforward clash on Friday. This notable achievement, marking his 31st successive victory on Melbourne's esteemed courts, however, did not pass without stirring some waves. A dissonant voice amidst enthralled spectators materialized, disrupting Djokovic's preparation just as he was varying his rhythm for the match point serve. Undeterred, the maestro calmly re-positioned before launching a decisive ace, subsequently propelling his ascent into the fourth round of the competition. Djokovic, in the public sphere, is recognized not only for his superior athletic prowess but also for his decisions related to his personal health, specifically his choice regarding the COVID-19 immunization. This notoriously manifested in his refusal to receive the vaccine, a decision that precipitated his exodus from Australian territory in 2022.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The five-time finalist was outplayed by 30th seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry in a 6-4 6-2 6-2 loss that was a far cry from his glory days. His only other defeat in the first round here since 2008 came five years ago in an emotional five-setter against Roberto Bautista Agut after Murray had revealed the extent of his hip problems. A tribute video from his fellow players and global attention accompanied that occasion, with Murray's career thought to be winding to a close. Hip surgery has given him a commendable post-script, but it would be no surprise if this much more low-key exit does signal the 36-year-old's final departure from Melbourne. Murray admitted at the end of last season that he was not enjoying tennis, and it is increasingly hard to see him finding the sort of performances and results that will bring the joy back. This was his fourth defeat in a row dating back to October, while he has now lost seven of his last eight matches, the worst run of his career. *** Two tennis players have defended their decision to play an exhibition event in Russia last month, sponsored by Gazprom, despite pleas from the Ukrainian No 2 not to do so. Adrian Mannarino and Roberto Bautista Agut, ranked 19 and 72 in the world respectively, both took part in the event in St Petersburg on 1-3 December as part of their preparations for the Australian Open.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Philadelphia Phillies 8, Detroit Tigers 3 San Diego Padres 5, Chicago Cubs 0 White Sox were off Phillies 8, Tigers 3 – Phillies’ ace Nola loses no-hitter in 7th, wins game 8-3 over Tigers Aaron Nola took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and struck out 12, Trea Turner homered twice among his four hits to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to their third straight win, 8-3 over the Detroit Tigers. Nola fanned 10 and had faced the minimum through six as he tried to pitch the Phillies’ first no-hitter since 2015. Nola allowed a two-out home run to Nick Maton in the seventh inning. There have been no no-hitters in the majors this season, the first since Major League Baseball introduced a pitch clock. There were a record nine in 2021 and four last year. Padres 5, Cubs 0 – Sánchez’s homer, Snell’s strong effort carry Padres to 5-0 win over Cubs Gary Sánchez hit a two-run home run and Blake Snell and three relievers combined on a four-hitter for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Chicago Cubs 5-0 to salvage a split of a four-game series. Manny Machado had three hits, scored twice and made a sensational play at third base in his fourth game back from a stint on the injured list with a fractured left hand. Sánchez hit his third homer in seven games with the Padres when he lined a 2-2 pitch from Kyle Hendricks into the left field seats with one out in the second. Machado was aboard on a leadoff single.

Adin Hill continued his stellar play in net with 29 saves for the Golden Knights, who grabbed a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Marchessault also had an assist to finish with three points. Brett Howden scored twice for the Knights, who also got goals from Alec Martinez, Nicolas Roy and Michael Amadio. Matthew Tkachuk and Anton Lundell scored for the Panthers. The series shifts to Florida for Game 3 on Thursday. Thursday Vegas Golden Knights at Florida Panthers, 8:00 p.m. (VGK leads 2-0) NBA – 2023 NBA Finals – (best of seven) Tonight Denver Nuggets at Miami Heat, 8:00 p.m. (Series tied 1-1) NBA – Miami Heat are on a comeback run like few others in this year’s NBA playoffs The easiest way to explain what the Miami Heat are doing in the comeback department during these playoffs is simply to put up their numbers against the rest of the league. When facing a deficit of at least 12 points this postseason, the Heat are 7-6. The rest of the NBA is 6-59. Combined. The latest comeback came in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night against Denver when the Heat won 111-108 to even the title series. Miami rallied from 15 points down. NBA – NBA says it won’t mind if Wembanyama’s debut comes in Sacramento, not Las Vegas Victor Wembanyama’s next couple of weeks are now set. He’ll be playing in the French league finals starting this weekend, and then the San Antonio Spurs almost certainly will make him the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on June 22. And if that means the French teenager’s summer league debut comes in Sacramento instead of Las Vegas in early July, the league is fine with that. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says the league doesn’t have a preference regarding the site of Wembanyama’s first game with the Spurs. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Indiana Fever at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. NFL – Colts confirm NFL investigating player for possible gambling The Indianapolis Colts say they are aware the NFL has opened a gambling investigation into one of the team’s players. A team spokesman also says the team will have no additional comment. The player has not been publicly identified. The confirmation comes after reports first leaked Monday and less than two months after the NFL suspended five players — including four from the Detroit Lions — for gambling policy violations. The Colts are holding workouts this week at the team facility. NFL – Colts add Perriman in hopes of strengthening receiving group The Indianapolis Colts have signed free agent Breshad Perriman in hopes he can strengthen their team’s receiving contingent. Perriman was a first-round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2015, No. 26 overall, but did not play as a rookie. He became a free agent in 2019 and has been with three teams over the past five seasons, including two stints with Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old Perriman has 145 receptions, 2,343 yards and 16 touchdown receptions in 80 games. Last season with Tampa Bay, he caught nine passes for 110 yards and one TD. NFL – Biden says Chiefs ‘building a dynasty’ as he hosts Super Bowl champs at White House President Joe Biden says the Kansas City Chiefs are “building a dynasty” as he hosts the team at the White House to mark their Super Bowl victory in February. Speaking on the South Lawn, Biden praised the team for playing with “the real joy of the game and love for each other and the great city you represent.” He also praised the team for their charitable work off the field, saying, “as these guys know about football, they know about life and how to use their platform to make a difference.” NCAAFB – Coroner rules natural causes in heart-ailment death of UNLV football player Authorities in Las Vegas say the death of a 20-year-old UNLV football player who was found unresponsive in his studio apartment in February was caused by a heart ailment. The Clark County coroner said Monday that an autopsy found Ryan Keeler had a disease that causes thickening of the heart muscle. He died Feb. 20 of a fatal irregular heartbeat, and the coroner ruled his death natural. Las Vegas police say their inquiry in the case was closed. UNLV head coach Barry Odom had called Keeler a standout student and athlete. He was from Chicago and arrived at UNLV by transfer from Rutgers University. IndyCar – Detroit Grand Prix to make track improvements for 2nd year downtown The Detroit Grand Prix’s short, narrow and bumpy track took some shots a day before the race returned to streets downtown. Race chairman said any potential damage was recovered by an exciting race on Sunday. Alex Palou won the race with a dominant performance, a day after saying the 1.7-mile circuit was too tight and too short for IndyCar. While the Spaniard did say the race went smoother than expected, he did suggest it can be improved for 2024. Denker agreed, but added the track can’t be made longer as Palou suggested. Soccer – Players demand change for rampant online racist abuse, turn to AI for help Online racist abuse of soccer players is prolific on social media platforms. It’s the latest form of racism blighting the world’s most popular sport. It’s technology-fueled, visual, permanently intrusive, 24/7 and a haunting reminder of the 1980s-style monkey chants and banana throwing. Players and teams targeted by abuse are coming up with ways to raise awareness and reduce their exposure to offensive users. It includes using companies who configure AI software to act as a filter to stop discriminatory comments from being seen. Some are choosing alternative platforms to promote not just themselves but more ethical behavior online. There’s also legislation in the works in the European Union and Britain to force big tech companies to act tougher on racism. Tennis – French Open – Coco Gauff vs. Iga Swiatek; it’ll happen in the quarterfinals Coco Gauff put aside a skinned knee and a bad stretch in the first set to reach the French Open quarterfinals for the third consecutive year. The 19-year-old American was a 7-5, 6-2 winner over Anna Karolina Schmiedlova on Monday at Court Philippe Chatrier. Next for Gauff will be a rematch against No. 1 Iga Swiatek, who beat her in last year’s final at Roland Garros. Swiatek advanced when her fourth-round opponent, Lesia Tsurenko, stopped playing because of trouble breathing in the first set. Also advancing to the quarterfinals were Ons Jabeur, Beatriz Haddad Maia, Casper Ruud, Holger Rune, Alexander Zverev and Tomas Martin Etcheverry. MWL – Midwest League Baseball Last Night No games last night Tonight Wisconsin Timber Rattlers at West Michigan Whitecaps, 6:35 p.m. Lake County Captains at Great Lakes Loons, 7:05 p.m. Lansing Lugnuts at South Bend Cubs, 7:05 p.m. MWL – Minor leaguers Taveras, Francia suspended for positive drug tests St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Leonardo Taveras was suspended for 80 games under baseball’s minor league drug program following a positive test for the performance-enhancing substance Clomiphene. Los Angeles Angels right-hander Darlin Francia was suspended for 56 games after a positive test for the performance-enhancing substance Stanozolol. The 24-year-old Taveras was 1-1 with two saves and 38 strikeouts in 20 1/3 innings over 11 games this season with High A Peoria. The 19-year-old Francia is 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA in two starts and three relief appearances for the Arizona Complex League Angels. Eight players have been disciplined under the minor league program this year. MCCAA – SMC Women’s Basketball looking for a new head coach After their first year back, the Southwestern Michigan College women’s basketball team is searching for their second head coach. Jeanine Wasielewski is stepping aside after he job of two years and taking another coaching position out of the area. Wasielewski’s first year was filled by building the team from scratch before staring play at the start of the 2022-23 season. The Roadrunners finished their first season back with a record of 18-9, 8-4 in the MCCAA Western Division, which earned them fourth place and a berth in the NJCAA District A Tournament. In a press release, Wasielewski said, “It has been an amazing two years at SMC and I am proud of what our student-athletes, basketball program and athletic department have accomplished in a successful return to intercollegiate competition.” Roadrunners Athletic Director Rodell Davis said “We are grateful to Coach Waz for helping us get the program re-started.” MHSAA – High School Sports Today Girls Soccer – Regional Semifinals Division 1 at Byron Center Hudsonville vs. Byron Center, 5:30 p.m. Portage Central vs. Midland, 7:00 p.m. Division 3 at Holland Christian Three Rivers vs. Hudsonville Unity Christian, 5:00 p.m. GR Catholic Central vs. GR South Christian, 7:00 p.m. Division 4 at Portage Northern Our Lady of the Lake vs. Kalamazoo Heritage, 5:00 p.m. Kalamazoo Christian vs. Grandville Calvin Christian, 7:00 p.m.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When facing a deficit of at least 12 points this postseason, the Heat are 7-6. The rest of the NBA is 6-59. Combined. The latest comeback came in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night against Denver when the Heat won 111-108 to even the title series. Miami rallied from 15 points down. NBA – NBA says it won’t mind if Wembanyama’s debut comes in Sacramento, not Las Vegas Victor Wembanyama’s next couple of weeks are now set. He’ll be playing in the French league finals starting this weekend, and then the San Antonio Spurs almost certainly will make him the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on June 22. And if that means the French teenager’s summer league debut comes in Sacramento instead of Las Vegas in early July, the league is fine with that. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says the league doesn’t have a preference regarding the site of Wembanyama’s first game with the Spurs.

The Colts are holding workouts this week at the team facility.

The Clark County coroner said Monday that an autopsy found Ryan Keeler had a disease that causes thickening of the heart muscle. He died Feb. 20 of a fatal irregular heartbeat, and the coroner ruled his death natural. Las Vegas police say their inquiry in the case was closed. UNLV head coach Barry Odom had called Keeler a standout student and athlete. He was from Chicago and arrived at UNLV by transfer from Rutgers University.

Soccer – Players demand change for rampant online racist abuse, turn to AI for help Online racist abuse of soccer players is prolific on social media platforms. It’s the latest form of racism blighting the world’s most popular sport. It’s technology-fueled, visual, permanently intrusive, 24/7 and a haunting reminder of the 1980s-style monkey chants and banana throwing. Players and teams targeted by abuse are coming up with ways to raise awareness and reduce their exposure to offensive users. It includes using companies who configure AI software to act as a filter to stop discriminatory comments from being seen. Some are choosing alternative platforms to promote not just themselves but more ethical behavior online. There’s also legislation in the works in the European Union and Britain to force big tech companies to act tougher on racism.

Alcaraz y Djokovic se dan cita en las semifinales de Roland Garros luego de que el serbio apease en 4 sets al ruso Karen Khachanov y el español arrollase al griego Stefanos Tsitsipas en 3 mangas. En damas, la checa Karolina Muchova y la bielorrusa Aryna Sabalenka se jugarán el jueves su primer pase a la final del Abierto de Francia Bajo un calor sofocante Roland Garros repartía los primeros boletos para semifinales sin mayores sorpresas.A primera hora del día fue el turno de las damas y especialmente para la checa Karolina Muchova y la bielorrusa Aryna Sabalenka. Ambas tenistas se jugarán un pase a la final luego de apear respectivamente en 2 sets a la rusa Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (7/5 6/2) y a la ucraniana Elina Svitolina (6/4 6/4). Con estas dos clasificaciones Roland Garros contará con un estreno en la final femenina ya que tanto como Muchova como Sabalenka nunca habían accedido a estas estancias en el Abierto de Francia. Las dos tenistas tan solo se han confrontado en una ocasión cuando en 2019 Sabalenka ganaba a Muchova en el torneo chino de Zhuhai sobre pista dura, con lo que el duelo en la arcilla de Paris se presenta como un gran enigma a resolver. Djokovic y Alcaraz disputaran el gran duelo de esta edición en semifinales En cuanto al cuadro masculino los dos grandes favoritos para ganar este torneo, Carlos Alcaraz y Novak Djokovic al fin podrán cruzarse sobre la arcilla parisina. El capricho del sorteo hizo que el duelo más deseado de esta edición se presente en semifinales. Y así será para alegría del público y organización luego de que el serbio batiese al ruso Karen Khachanov y español dejase fuera al griego Stefanos Tsitsipas.A madia tarde “Nole” arrancaba titubeante su partido de cuartos de final tras perder el primer set frente Khachanov 4/6, aunque en la segunda manga pudo enderezar la dirección de su encuentro tras ganar al tie break con un incontestable 7 a 0. Tras recuperar la ventaja perdida, Djokovic puso la directa en el tercer set donde anotó un 6 a 2 que despejaba cualquier duda sobre lo ocurrido en el inicio de encuentro. En la cuarta y definitiva manga Khachanov intentó sin suerte ajustar su servicio, pero la falta de puntería hizo que Djokovic pudiese controlar sin grandes apuros un partido que ya no se escaparía de las manos (4/6 7/6 6/2 6/4).En cuanto Alcaraz la faena mostrada ante Tsitsipas fue mucho más soberbia que la impronta dejada por Djokovic minutos antes en la misma cancha central. El número 1 mundial dominó en un principio su duelo ante el tenista griego imprimiendo una velocidad frenética que dejaba a propios y extraños con la boca abierta. Los dos primeros sets fueron vistos y no vistos con un recital de juego por parte del murciano que bien podría mostrarse en cualquier escuela de tenis. Servicio bolea, golpes de derechas sobre la línea, cruzados con ángulos imposibles, subidas garantizadas a la red y dejadas en su justa medida. Hasta 8 juegos consecutivos conseguidos entre manga y manga por el tenista nacido en el Palmar auguraban una clasificación de trámite que se relentecería en el tercer set (6/2 6/1).En el tercer parcial se abrió un hilo de esperanza para Tsitsipas cuando “Carlitos” perdía la concentración infligida durante los primeros juegos. Factor que aprovechó el griego para arrimarse al marcador y forzar un tie-break donde el español recuperó la confianza y el mental perdido por momentos. Un proceso anecdótico ya que después de contar con 5 bolas de partido, Alcaraz se dio prisas para sellar su boleto a las semifinales de Roland Garros por primera vez en su carrera deportiva (6/2 6/1 7/6). Últimos boletos de semifinalesEste miércoles 7 de junio se conocerán los otros dos semifinalistas que restan por completar ambos cuadros. En el femenino, al igual que sucedió el martes con los hombres, se espera la clasificación de las dos grandes favoritas para ganar el título, que también se cruzarían en la antesala de la final. Estas son la tunecina Ons Jabeur y la polaca Iga Swiatek. Ambas tenistas tendrán una dura competencia para lograr sus objetivos ya que la africana, quien se maneja como pez en el agua sobre la arcilla, se las tendrá que ver con la brasileña Beatriz Haddad Maia. Una tenista que domina como ninguna el aspecto mental y que ha demostrado con creces su valía para llegar hasta aquí. Mientras que la numero 1 mundial, que tan solo ha estado en cancha 4 H 20 m de juego y solo ha concedido 7 juegos en lo que va de torneo, jugará una especie de revancha frente a su rival el pasado año en la final en Paris, la estadounidense Coco Gauff, a la cual acababa venciendo en dos mangas (6/1 6/3).Del lado masculino se anuncia un día grande para el argentino Tomas Martin Etcheverry. La gran sorpresa de esta edición ha ido avanzando rondas con una seguridad tremenda en su segunda participación en el Bosque de Boulogne. El platense que ha batido de lejos su record en un Grand Slam, quiere seguir agrandando su sueño frente a un cliente serio como es el alemán Alexander Zverev, quien ha logrado llegar a semifinales de Roland Garros en las dos pasadas ediciones.El vencedor del encuentro entre Etcheverry y Zverev se medirá en semifinales con el ganador del duelo entre el Danes Holger Rune y el noruego Casper Ruud. El número 4 y 6 mundial se han enfrentado en 4 ocasiones con un parcial de 4 victorias a 1 para el pasado finalista en Roland Garros, pero el único triunfo para Rune se generaba en las pasadas semifinales del master 1000 de Roma con lo que las apuestas quedan muy equilibradas.

La brasileña Beatriz Haddaad Maia y el argentino Tomas Martin Etcheverry siguen manteniendo vivo al tenis sudamericano tras alcanzar los cuartos de final de Roland Garros. Se quedaron a las puertas de la gloria el argentino Francisco Cerúndolo y el chileno Nicolás Jarry. Nicolas Jarry se queda anclado en los cuartos de finalPese a perder en su encuentro ante el danés Casper Ruud (6/7 5/7 5/7) el chileno Nicolas Jarry se marchó de París con un sabor agridulce. El santiaguino, que contaba con el cuarto mejor servicio de esta edición, no supo utilizar su gran arma en los momentos claves de un enfrentamiento que bien podía haberse decantado de su lado. Jarry lograba empatar el primer set tras romper dos veces el servicio de Ruud e incluso en el tercer parcial se llegó a adelantar 4 a 1. Ruud que se mostró más regular que Jarry sacó a relucir su escasa pero estudiada experiencia en Roland Garros (Finalista en 2022 ante Rafael Nadal) sabiendo que habría que armarse de paciencia y aguantar el empaque de su adversario en los momentos más delicados. A pesar de su gran partido Jarry no llegaba a concretar, e incluso llegó a igualar la tercera manga a 5 iguales, pero la experiencia es un grado mayor en un torneo donde se juega al mejor de 5 sets y ahí quizás estuvo la clave de un partido en el que Jarry quiso, pero no pudo. Una lástima, teniendo en cuanta que el chileno llegaba a Paris en gran estado de forma. A pesar de ello se marcha de la capital francesa firmando la mejor actuación en todas sus participaciones.Francisco Cerúndolo al filo de la navaja El duelo entre Francisco Cerúndolo y Holger Rune pudo traducirse en una auténtica batalla de gladiadores sobre tierra batida. La tensión que se respiraba en las gradas del Suzanne Lenglend se percibía en todos los rincones del recinto de Roland Garros desde donde se apreciaban los vítores y aplausos de un público entregado a un enfrentamiento que acabaría en drama total para el argentino ya que Francisco acarició con su raqueta la que podía haber sido la victoria más gratificante de su carrera deportiva.Tras el arranque del partido Rune tomó una falsa ventaja que pudo atajar Cerúndolo a tiempo para llegar al primer Tie-break que se decantaba a favor del danés. En la segunda manga el tenista albiceleste aparcó sus complejos y demostró porque es el numero 1 sudamericano. Holger empezó a dudar de sus chances y le costó sangre, sudor y lágrimas anotarse el tercer parcial de manera ajustada. En el cuarto set Francisco puso toda la carne en el asador para volver a rengancharse a un partido que se disputaría en la quinta y definitiva manga.La falta de concentración en el tie break final fue decisiva para que Rune se llevase el pase a cuartos de final. Ambos tenistas superaron los 5 errores no forzados en la muerte súbita hasta el 6-6. Con ese marcador Rune, que fue siempre por debajo, pudo tomar una ventaja hasta llegar a contar con 2 bolas de partido. No le hizo falta gastar ningún comodín ya que el danés aprovecharía la primera con servicio a favor para salir airoso de un partido increíble que será recordado en la historia de esta edición 2023 por su intensidad y dinámica (7/6 3/6 6/4 1/6 7/6).La abanderada del tenis femenino sudamericano se cuela en cuartos de final En el cuadro femenino la brasileña Beatriz Haddad Maia sigue adelante después de firmar el tercer partido femenino más duradero de la historia de Roland Garros, (3H 51 m), ante la española Sara Sorribes. La tenista sudamericana que perdía el primer set en el tie-break tuvo que remontar cuando en la segunda manga iba 3 juegos abajo ante la ibérica. Fue cuestión mental para la brasileña ya que Sorribes llegaba más descansada tras haber pasado a octavos luego de la retirada de la kazaka Elena Rybakina. Cuando Beatriz empezó a remontar en la segunda manga la española inicio una serie de errores que la sacaron del encuentro. Fue el momento clave para que número 1 de Sudamérica aprovechase el desequilibrio de su rival para forzar un definitivo tercer set donde gano la que menos falló, ya que debido al cansancio o al fuerte calor que imperaba en las canchas de Roland Garros se fueron rompiendo mutuamente el servicio hasta llegar al definitivo 7/5 a favor de la brasileña (7/5 4/6 5/7).Beatriz Haddad tendrá en cuartos la prueba mas difícil en lo que llevamos de torneo ya que se enfrentará a la tunecina Ons Jabeur que a primera hora barría de la cancha central a la norteamericana Bernarda Pera con un marcador de (6/3 6/1). La raqueta africana, gran especialista en tierra batida sigue siendo la gran candidata a frenar el camino de la imparable número 1 mundial, la polaca Iga Swatek, que a última hora del día rompía las pocas esperanzas que presentaba la ucraniana Lesia Tsurenko, que acabó abandonando por lesión cuando el marcador reflejaba 5/1 en el primer set. El argentino Tomas Martin Etcheverry toma la confirmación en Roland Garros Tuvo que ser en el último partido de la noche el que más alegrías y confianza otorgaba al tenis sudamericano. El joven argentino Tomas Martin Etcheverry declaraba tras eliminar al japonés Yoshihito Nishioka en 3 mangas rápidas (7/6 6/0 6/1) haber vivido el día más feliz de su vida. Y no era para menos. El tenista de La Plata se colgó el cartel de revelación del torneo tras colarse por primera vez en unos cuartos de final de un Grand Slam. Pero lo mejor de la clasificación de Etcheverry fue la imagen mostrada con alevosía y nocturnidad que le permitió dominar su encuentro de principio a fin con un dominio absoluto, sin otorgar un mínimo de esperanzas al tenista nipón que participaba como cabeza de serie. Tomas Martin declaraba en días anteriores que estaba viviendo un sueño. Un sueño que profundo y que podría tener continuidad cuando el miércoles trate de buscar un boleto para semifinales frente al alemán Alexander Zverev que apeaba de su camino al búlgaro Grigor Dimitrov , también en tres mangas (6/1 6/4 6/3)
El número 1 mundial pasaba a tercera ronda concediendo un set ante el japonés Taro Daniel, pero la esencia y el juego desplegado por el murciano asusta a sus posibles rivales. Aprobado con sobresaliente para el peruano Juan Pablo Varillas que filmaba otra remontada memorable a 5 sets ante el cabeza de seria 19, el español Roberto Bautista. Como un vendaval se presentaba por primera vez este año en la cancha central el número 1 mundial Carlos Alcaraz. Tras romper el servicio de entrada al japonés Taro Daniel el tenista murciano endosaba un 6-1 en el primer set. Solo en el segundo parcial, el japonés pudo respirar y aprovechar la ventaja del viento que soplaba a su favor. Taro encadenaba 3 juegos consecutivos para igualar el encuentro (6-1 3-6). Fue en ese momento que Alcaraz empezó a sacar de la chistera su mejor juego para convertirse en un torbellino sobre la arcilla del Philippe Chatrier. Saque y golpe ganador de derecha cuando no combinaba con el servicio bolea. Así fue como Alcaraz encadenaba puntos y juegos para firmar otro 6-1 en la tercera manga. El pequeño príncipe de la tierra batida no dio más opciones al talento nipón que trató de defenderse dignamente en la recta final del partido donde su rival le endosaba 5 juegos seguidos. La brecha se abrió y “Carlitos” se desató anotando un 6-2 que sellaba su pase a la tercera rueda donde le espera el canadiense Denis Shapovalov. (6/1 3/6 6/1 6/2) Las sensaciones que generó el número 1 del mundo le hizo subir enteros en las apuestas tras la ausencia de su compatriota Rafa Nadal, este año en el Bosque de Boulogne.Anotar que ya están en tercera rueda comenzando con los hombres el griego Stéfanos Tsitsipás, el italiano Fabio Fognini, el estadounidense Sebastian Korda, el ruso Andrey Rublev y el italiano Lorenzo Sonego. En damas se clasificaban sin problemas la numero 2 mundial, la bielorrusa Aryna Sabalenka, la estadounidense Sloane Stephens, la rusa Daria Kasatkina y su compatriota Anna Blinkova, que dejaba fuera a la gran esperanza francesa, la numero 5 mundial, Caroline García.Una de cal y otra de arena para la armada latinoamericanaEn cuanto a la representación latinoamericana hemos de lamentar la eliminación de las dos representantes femeninas. De un lado la semifinalista hace dos años, la argentina Nadia Podoroska, caía en 3 sets ante la checa Karolina Muchova (6/3 0/6 6/3) mientras que la colombiana Camila Osorio no pudo confirmar su estado de gracia ante la belga Elise Martens, la cual frustro las esperanzas de la cafetera en dos sets muy longevos que sobrepasaron las 2 horas de juego (6/3 7/6).Las eliminaciones femeninas contrastaron con las dos actuaciones masculinas que salieron bastante airosas de sus respectivos compromisos. Memorable fue lo que realizó el peruano Juan Pablo Varillas que tras ir perdiendo ante el cabeza de serie 19, el español Roberto Bautista, dos sets abajo, supo gestionarse y transformarse para firmar su segunda gran remontada consecutiva a 5 sets (6/1 6/4 3/6 1/6 1/6).E igual de ilusionante fue la victoria del argentino Diego Schwartzman, al que muchos daban por muerto tras su fatídica temporada de arcilla donde no logró ganar un partido. Ha tenido que ser Roland Garros, su torneo favorito, el que le haya sacado del pozo mental que tenía en su cabeza cuando llego a la capital francesa. Con dos victorias consecutivas, la última ante el portugués Nuno Borges (7/6 6/4 6/3) el “peque” resucita para alegría de la afición y recupera su esta anímico para enfrentar en tercera ronda al griego Tsitsipas, al cual ya gano en pasadas ediciones del abierto de Francia.Ultimos boletos para tercera ruedaEste jueves a parte de las destacadas actuaciones en damas de la numero 1 mundial, la polaca Iga Swiatek, y la tunecina Ons Jabeur habrá un buen puñado de tenistas sudamericanos, en casi su totalidad argentinos que trataran de seguir con la gran gesta que firmaron en sus estrenos. El albiceleste Pedro Cachin se las tendrá que ver con el croata Borna Coric, su compatriota Francisco Cerundolo ante el alemán Yannick Hanfmann. A última hora Guido Pella se enfrentará al sorprendente verdugo de Medvedev, el brasileño Thiago Seyboth Wild mientras que, al mismo tiempo, Genaro Alberto Olivieri se opondrá al italiano Andrea Vavassori y Thiago Agustin Tirante al chino Zhizhen Zhang. Habrá incluso dos chances más de clasificación con la presencia del también argentino Tomas Martin Etcheverry quien tendrá como rival al australiano Alex De Minaur y del chileno Nicolás Harry quien también se enfrenta a un duro cliente, el estadounidense Tommy Paul.
Ocho de los nueve estrenos latinos se clasificaban a segunda rueda dejando muy gratas sensaciones mientras que los dos grandes candidatos al título masculino, Alcaraz y Djokovic, debutaban mostrando sus grandes credenciales. Hacía años que la representación latinoamericana no firmaba una jornada tan redonda en Roland Garros. Todo comenzaba a primera hora del día con la remontada sin complejos de la colombiana Camila Osorio, que repescada por la organización el domingo por la tarde, se colaba en el cuadro general donde se mediría con la rumana Ana Bogdan. Luego de perder el primer set, la tenista cafetera remontaba épicamente (3/6 6/3 7/5) dejando la impronta esperanzadora en los demás latinos que andaban batallando en la arcilla parisina.Le siguió el argentino Diego Schwartzman que, tras su fatídica preparación sobre el circuito de arcilla donde perdió todos los partidos en primera rueda, se desquitaba en su torneo favorito remontando un encuentro a 5 sets frente al español Bernabé Zapata Miralles (6/1 7/6 2/6 0/6 4/6). Más suerte tuvo su compatriota Tomas Martin Etcheverry que aprovechaba el abandono del británico Jack Draper cuando el partido estaba anclado en el segundo set (6/4 1/0). Pero para remontada, la que se marcó el peruano Juan Pablo Varillas, que a sus 27 años firmaba su primera victoria en un Grand Slam. Lo hizo ante el prometedor talento chino Juncheng Shang que contaba con el apoyo de las gradas hasta que el tenista sudamericano hizo cambiar el guion del partido en el tercer set. A partir de ese momento Varillas metió la directa para sellar una de las victorias más dulces de su carrera deportiva (6/4 6/2 2/6 3/6 1/6)A media tarde y tras el empacho de victorias latinas llegaría la guinda a la torta con el debut del argentino Thiago Agustín Tirante quien con mucho oficio y tenacidad apeaba al complicadísimo neerlandés Botic Van De Zandschulp en 4 mangas (2/6 6/4 3/6 4/6). Las sensaciones no paraban ahí, ya que a última hora de la tarde su compatriota Pedro Cachin frustraba el retorno del que fuese figura mundial hace 5 años, el austriaco Dominc Thiem, al cual batiría en 5 sets que se disputaron a la velocidad del rayo (3/6 2/6 7/6 6/4 2/6)Las victorias sudamericanas se encadenaban en un día radiante en el bosque de Boulogne, pero aún faltaba el brillo que propuso la gran baza latina en esta edición, Beatriz Haddad Maia. Ubicada en el ranking como numero 14, la tenista brasileña dio buena cuenta de sus pretensiones en París arrasando de entrada a la alemana Tatjana Maria firmando un severo (6/0 6/1)Si hay que poner un borrón a esta fantástica fecha del tenis sudamericano tendría que ser por la única derrota registrada, la del argentino Federico Coria, que a pasar de poner un gran empeño y dificultar el juego del croata Borna Coric se fue desinflando a medida que el partido seguía su curso hasta concluir en el cuarto set (7/6 6/7 6/3 6/3).Djokovic y Alcaraz presentan sus candidaturasEn cuanto al cuadro masculino, en el primer lunes de competición, destacaban por encima del resto los estrenos de los dos grandes candidatos a ganar la copa de los mosqueteros tras la ausencia de Rafa Nadal este año en Paris. Por un lado, el ex patrón del tenis mundial, el serbio Novak Djokovic, puso la directa en la cancha central ante el estadounidense Aleksandar Kovacevic a pesar de que se pudo atragantar en el tercer parcial (6/3 6/2 7/6) mientras que el actual número 1 mundial, Carlos Alcaraz fue igual de severo con el rival de su estreno, el italiano Flavio Cobolli (6/0 6/2 7/5)La sorpresa del día la generaba el canadiense Felix Auger-Aliassime que siendo cabeza de serie número 10 se despedía a las primeras de cambio ante el veterano italiano Fabio Fognini que tan solo necesito 3 sets para sacar del torneo a uno de los tenistas más peligrosos del circuito internacional (6/4 6/4 6/3)En el cuadro femenino solo destacaba la eliminación de la checa Karolina Pliskova que en ningún momento pudo hacer nada ante la norteamericana Sloane Stephens, antigua cabeza de seria que dejo buenas sensaciones en la cancha central Philippe Chatrier (6/0 6/4).
