US Open, Novak Djokovic breaks another record: detached Roger Federer
Slam semifinal number 47 for Novak Djokovic
There was no history in the first quarterfinal of the US Open 2023: Novak Djokovic defeated the American Taylor Fritz 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 in two hours and thirty-eight minutes of play, thus qualifying for the semifinals of the American Slam, which he has already won three times in his career (although the last success dates back to 2018).
For Nole, the success is worth an incredible record, to say the least, because the one he will play will be the semifinal number 47 in a Slam tournament: detached, in the special ranking, Roger Federer, who ended his career with 46 appearances among the top four in the most important tournaments on the calendar (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and, indeed, US Open).
The match played in Flushing Meadows against the San Diego native did not hold any major twists and turns from the point of view of performance: Djokovic lost only twice a game on his own serve and suffered a bit more only in the third set, when Fritz è led 3-2 before surrendering in four of the next five games.
Djokovic thus remains on course to win his 24th Grand Slam tournament: this season he triumphed in Australia and Roland Garros, while at Wimbledon è he made it all the way to the final act, where he was surprised by Carlos Alcaraz, however.

Fiorentina, Palladino: “Inexplicable departure.”
Fiorentina, Palladino: “Inexplicable departure”
Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino spoke after the 3-3 draw with Puskas Akademia in the Conference League. “It was a bad start, you have to be realistic. It was an inexplicable start, leaving down 2-0 and also mentally and technically. We made technical mistakes that I don't even see in practice, we were good at staying in the race”.
The Viola overturned the result in the second half: “In the second half I è liked the team attitude, I è liked the team spirit but we conceded goals on set pieces, there is no way to take a goal like thatì. You have to analyze what we did well and what there’è to improve”.
Kean found the goal: “I don't think it's a matter of a single player, those who è entered gave a strong push to the team. I would like to see some of this attitude from everyone, which I did not see today. I will know how to speak to the team, è it is my job and I will have to analyze this thing”.

Florentin bungles: 3-3 mockery and qualification in the balance
A disappointing Fiorentina drew 3-3 against Puskas Akademia in the first leg match of the Uefa Conference League qualifiers. Raffaele Palladino’s team at the Franchi after a disastrous start overturned the result, but è was mocked just before the triple whistle: now they will be forced to play for qualification to the rounds in the return match in the Magyar country.
A shock first half for the violets, who conceded two goals in the first quarter of an hour: on 9’Kayode knocked out Nagy in the box, who from the penalty spot scored the visitors’ goal for the lead. On 12′ came the surprising double by Soisalo, after another Kayode mistake. The liliati slowly entered the game and after a Beltran’s chance and Bianco’s crossbar found the 1-2 with a turn in the box by Sottil on an assist from Parisi.
The hosts in the second half stormed the opponent’s goal and turned the tide: on 67′ came Martinez Quarta’s 2-2 header, on 75′ the 3-2 by newcomer Kean, in his first goal after more than a year of fasting. At 89’89’ the incredible 3-3 Hungarian è came after a new distraction of the purple defense on a corner, Golla scored.
In a week the decisive return match in Hungary: Palladino will have to work especially on defense.
