Worlds, not just the men’s 4×100
World Cup, results
Magnificent blue relays. È an’Italy that makes people dream in the 4×100 at the World Championships in Budapest where both quartets win the final with resounding results. The men’s team with Roberto Rigali, Marcell Jacobs, Lorenzo Patta and Filippo Tortu sprinted in 37.65 to win the battery by setting the best time of the round: the second fastest time ever nationally, fifteen hundredths off the 37.50 of the Tokyo Olympic gold medalist, in that case with Patta, Jacobs, Desalu and Tortu. After twelve years, Italy’s 4×100 team returns to a rainbow final, which the men’ve been missing since the 2011 edition. Behind the Azzurri there’s South Africa (37.72), in the other battery the United States won in 37.67 ahead of Jamaica (37.68) and Japan (37.71), eliminated among others the reigning world champions Canada (tenth time with 38.25). In the women’s è extraordinary 4×100 of Zaynab Dosso, Dalia Kaddari, Anna Bongiorni and Alessia Pavese who demolished the Italian record with a resounding 42.14 and took more than half a second off the record of 42.71 obtained last season at the World Championships in Eugene. For the third consecutive edition, the Italian women reached the rainbow final after last year’s European bronze medal, this time with the fourth overall time, placing third in the battery behind the United States (41.59) and Ivory Coast (41.90) while Jamaica’s 41.70 also stood out.
Appointment for the finals tomorrow, Saturday, with the men at 21.40 and the women at 21.53. In the triple jump Dariya Derkach is at her best and manages to take a significant eighth place with 14.36 (-0.1), season record and second career performance at eleven hundredths from the personal best, instead Ottavia Cestonaro closes tenth at 14.05 (0.0) in a final won only at the last jump by Venezuelan star Yulimar Rojas with 15.08 (0.0). Still growing Eloisa Coiro in the 800 meters in 1:59.61. È sixth in the semifinals the 22-year-old Roman who greets the rainbow event but with her own limit lowered by 35 hundredths, for her second time under two minutes. Third gold in a row in the 200 in 19.52 (-0.2) for Noah Lyles, who after his triumph in the 100 makes it a double in Budapest. Jamaican Shericka Jackson also confirms herself in the half-lap with a sumptuous 21.41 (+0.1). In the javelin the last throw at 66.73 è that of the world title for Japan’s Haruka Kitaguchi.

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 è’s knockout; increasingly serene in his comfortable position as world No. 1.
