Jannik Sinner, snark and laughter in the press room

The start of the Toronto Masters 1000 is approaching, and Jannik Sinner spoke at a press conference after the draw for the Canadian tournament.The Italian, who will make his debut in the second round, could be up against the rediscovered Matteo Berrettini, who will face Frenchman Gregoire Barrere in the opener.

Jannik, who has been training in Toronto with another top ten player, Norway’s Casper Ruud, appeared relaxed at the press conference and jokingly answered some of the reporters’ questions, “I’d rather play here in Toronto than in Montreal (the other venue for the National Bank Open ed.). Right answer? Okay, next year I will say the opposite…. (audience laughter ed.).”

On Sinner, Ivan Ljubicic said in a recent interview, “Last year I was disappointed that he didn’t play enough important matches, he needs to move on to the semifinals and finals. He is making that progress this year that he should have made in 2022, but to that determination to make it, he needs to continue on this path.”

According to Ljubicic, “Jannik will never be a player who will suddenly explode, he needs more time, but he is coming along now, I believe in him a lot. Within five years Alcaraz, Sinner and Rune will be the number one two and three in the world, with Medvedev close by who will try to complicate life,” the Croatian guaranteed. “Some new guys might surprise us, but right now I would say these three are the best.

Juventus, Vlahovic: “Now we play a different game”

Juventus è back? Thiago Motta’s team won their first two league matches with a 3-0 double and è topped the Serie A standings alone. After the match won against Verona Dusan Vlahovic sent a message to DAZN microphones: “We are playing a different game”.

“Not to take anything away from the’last year where we did well, but we are playing a different game now. In the first day I was a bit unlucky, today two goals but I am happy for the team, for how we behaved, for the attitude and the result è the consequence”, explained the Serbian bomber.

Vlahovic also seems to be a different player: “Motta is working a lot on ’aggressiveness” and attitude in the game. You can do everything wrong but not the’attitude, from that comes everything. If you are there with the right head you get everything better”.

“I congratulate Savona, I am happy for him, for the team and the fans for the three points. The most important thing è playing the’one for the’other and the tactical things we know”.

Beautiful Juve: Vlahovic and youth rout Verona. Thiago Motta first

Impeccable victory for Juventus at the Bentegodi in Verona. Gialloblù defeated 3 to 0, signed by a double from Vlahovic and Savona’s goal in front of 30 thousand spectators. The three points allowed Thiago Motta’s players, who fielded 7 players born in 2000 or later, to take the lone lead with 6 points after two matches.

Zanetti’s Hellas, stopped at 3 points, did not repeat the cautious first half against Napoli defensively, leaving the Bianconeri to act at will at speed. Thus’è was born the lead, thus’è materialized the doubling and, in the resumption, the tris. On the other front, Motta’s rearguard closed every opening while Di Gregorio è was decisive only at 38’ of the resumption on Tengstedt’s underhand touch.

First half. The teams on the field are studied with the’hope that a mistake of others can become an opportunity of their own. 14’: Livramento first, Mosquera then, have their conclusions knocked back, the second into a corner from which nothing springs. 17’: immediate the Bianconeri response, entrusted to Locatelli from outside, Montipò plastic in the corner with the same outcome as the previous one. As the minutes pass, Juve raises its center of gravity, Verona’s midfield and rearguard do not seem as airtight as against Napoli. Yildiz leads a couple of defenders astray, enters the area from the left, shot rebounded. Great aerial assist by Vlahovic that fishes, at the second post, Savona: goal, referee whistle, annulled for offside.

We restart after the refreshing break but the’impression was right: the Verona midfield è distant from the defense: no filter. Juve thanks. 28’: Yildiz, on a touch by Locatelli who had blown the ball in a contrast to Duda (regular according to the Var), invents in the central corridor for Vlahovic: the center forward, on speed, strikes Montipò for the Juventus 1-0. It takes Hellas a while to recover, at 36’ they win a free kick from the limit: Suslov beats it, nothing done. Once again Verona is found unprepared, catching another counter-attack: Mbangula’s center, Savona’s imperious take-off that beats Montipò with Vlahovic ready to put it back in the net: 2-0 Juve. Mosquera has the ball to reopen the game but he chinches before kicking with the result of seeing his two conclusions rebuffed. Three minutes of recovery, everyone in the locker room.

Start of resumption. Hellas forward, Juve waits for the opening to slip in for the third time. It happens after just 6’: the unleashed Mbangula makes the gap on the left, enters the box, is landed by Tchatchoua, penalty: Vlahovic from the penalty spot, 3-0 and personal double. Zanetti inserts Frese, Alidou and Tengstedt, then Harroui. The minutes tick by, Verona hits a wall. And when it isnè t so, Suslov’s free kick from the short side of the area, a safe shot finds Gatti

‘s foot.

Enter, in Juve, Douglas Luiz. Harroui takes off down the right and lets off a low shot at the first post that goes wide. Rouhi and Kalulu are also in, then Danilo and Anghele and in Verona Dani Silva. 38’: first save signed by Di Gregorio, decisive on Tengstedt’s underhand touch. Four minutes of recovery, triple whistle, Hellas Verona-Juventus 0-3.
