Tel Aviv, Israel’s beautiful city, hosted the final day of a Grand Slam Judo competition.

In the +78kg final, Raz Hershko was a showman in the preliminary rounds before he defeated Kayra Sayit of Turkey.

Today was her big day, as she had never won gold on home soil before! The crowd got what they wanted, a gold finish to a three-day feast of Judo. Hershko was surrounded by the next generation Israeli judokas as they celebrated.

Lior Raz, Ambassador of the IJF, was present to award her the gold medal.

“A-A-Mazing! “Wow!” she exclaimed. It’s crazy, it’s amazing. I love competing at home with all of this amazing crowd. “They are cheering from the beginning to the end. They pick you up, and it’s fantastic.”

Gviniashvili continues his dominance

Beka Gviniashvili and Krisztian toth, both from Georgia, hugged each other before the match. The Georgian then dominated their rivalry and won gold in a convincing manner. They then showed their respect again at the end of their contest.

The medals were presented by Mr Moris Janahsvili, a guest of the IJF.

Alice Bellandi, the world master at -78kg, won gold again by defeating Madeleine Malonga from France. This is her fourth World Judo Tour Gold medal in only a few short months! She is dominating in her new weight class.

Vladimir Barta, IJF’s Head Sport Director, presented her with her medals.

Zelym Kotsoiev, a judo master from Azerbaijan, defeated Michael Korrel of the Netherlands at -100kg with this amazing judo.

Lisa Allan, IJF Events director, presented him with his medal.

“I love fighting in Israel,” he replied. It’s a great atmosphere with so many kids cheering. “The people here love Judo, it’s very energising”.

Tsetsentsengel’s heavyweight victory

At +100kg, Mongolia’s Odkhuu tsetsentsengel increased his grand slam gold tally to three after a hard-fought win over Azerbaijani Ushangi Kokauri.

Florin Daniel Lascau, IJF Director of Referees, was the recipient of the medals.

The home crowd was awestruck by their heroes and cheered them on from the start. Peter Paltchik, who had one of the most exciting contests of the competition, had the crowd on their feet. Even though he didn’t win a medal for the day, he epitomized the energy and excitement surrounding the future of Israeli Judo and how brightly the judo stars here shine.

US Open, Alexander Zverev also out: Jannik Sinner thanks.

All-U.S. semifinal at US Open

Another big man exits the tournament. After the various Alcaraz and Djokovic, Zverev è is also no longer in the running at the US Open. The German è was beaten by Fritz in four sets (7-6 (2) 3-6 6-4 7-6), at the end of a match that è lasted almost three and a half hours. A defeat that leaves a lot of bitterness in Zverev’s mouth. The German was aiming to reach at least the final.

A feat for the American who, dragged by the home crowd, won the first semifinal of a Slam event. After winning the first set on tie-break, Fritz suffered the return of Zverev, who took home the second partial with a peremptory 6-3. The momentum seemed to be in the German’s hands but Fritz escaped on 3-0. Zverev recovers but gives up at the più beautiful. Spectacular fourth set. Zverev tries everything but, once again, the tie-break costs him dearly. He loses it 7-3 and says goodbye to the tournament.

Dreams big for Fritz who, in the semifinals, will face the other American Tiafoe who, in the quarterfinals, wins the match with Dimitrov, forced to retire in the fourth set due to a physical problem: 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, 4-1 the partials in favor of Tiafoe.

The United States dreams, after 21 years (Roddick, 2003), of an American winning the U.S. Open. In the meantime, it enjoys Sinner who, thanks to Zverev &egrave’s knockout; increasingly serene in his comfortable position as world No. 1.
