Virtus Bologna, Luca Banchi honors GeVi Napoli
The words of Luca Banchi after the victory against GeVi Napoli
Coach Luca Banchi spoke in a press conference after Virtus Bologna’s 88-75 away win against GeVi Napoli. “An important victory that comes after a cycle of very tough games, two consecutive away games – he emphasized -. We bring home as many victories and file this trip with satisfaction, with the knowledge that today we violated a court where few teams will be able to win this season, we did it with good authority, built on an important second period and with a second quintet able to keep up the level of intensityà and quality, without giving space to our opponents. We were not as accurate on the’inevitable comeback, especially from the emotional point of view, of Napoli to preserve a resilient lead, but nevertheless Napoli never è got to a single-digit disadvantage distance and this convinces me that we are on a good path but still with the margins to express a continuityà of play that would do more honor to the effort we produce, especially in the defensive halfà field.
“This è a team that has its own clear identity, we work on a pre-existing structure and on an emotional value that è related to the previous season, a season of finals but unfortunately of lost finals – added the coach of the bianconeri -. After the Supercup, Bologna has certainly accumulated a lot of desire and will; to want to prove that it wants to compete. Having on the team veterans and players of such experience certainly facilitates the coach’s task, because’they are by my side in trying to keep the level of tension high in a league that does not give us room to maneuver because’the level of contenders’is very high and in a’Euroleague where we are among the last to arrive and are trying to continue on a promising start to the season”.
“There’è so much to be done in terms of continuityà and performance, we can’t stay out of trouble, even tonight too many lost balls and avoidable and trivial mistakes that do not fully do justice to a team that is producing a great effort. I stand by the application and availability, but I am aware that there’s still a lot of room to try to bring this team to performance levels that can allow us to fuel our aspirations and ambitions. I have been doing this job for a long time even though I have been missing for a while’ from the Italian league, the calendar in the initial phase has a valence on the current rankings because’ è è it is inevitable that it can generate inequalities, there are teams that have a different level of preparation and cohesion. In the Italian league, the ranking should be looked at the end of the first round, deadline that determines the eight teams that will go to the Coppa Italia, which will be played on a neutral field with dry matches. From there, over a range of 15 games, one can see the trend of a team” concluded Banchi.

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.
