Charles Leclerc has no illusions in Australia
The words of Charles Leclerc
Charles Leclerc spoke from Albert Park where the Australian Grand Prix will be staged this weekend. Waiting to take the track for the first free practice, the Monegasque Ferrari driver spoke to journalists present in Melbourne.
“We expect, in all honesty, to be more or less where we were in Saudi Arabia: fast in qualifying and a little less in the race, in the confrontation with Red Bull. They are the team to beat, it will be up to us to try to get closer and take advantage of what the weekend will give us.
Also returning to Australia will be Carlos Sainz: “How do I look? Will be able to tell tomorrow, G strength will beà a variable to consider but I feel ready. I did everything I could to recover and be at the start of the weekend. I pushed hard to be there and now è it’s time to get in the car and see how I feel”.
“Definitely won’t be 100 percent, because I haven’t been able to train as much as I would have liked, but still I have been undergoing enough preparation to compete here in Australia. I am convinced I can put together a good weekend and the goal è to challenge the Red Bulls”.

The Russian l’ve eliminated him in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon
Overcoming, in three sets, even the Paul obstacle, Sinner è earned himself a place among the top eight at the US Open. No small accomplishment, considering how many bigs were lost along the way during the tournament (Alcaraz and Djokovic above all). By beating the American, the world number 1 has hit a truly significant milestone.
He became, in fact, the only tennis player to have reached the quarterfinals in all Slam events this season. He’s only managed to do so, demonstrating why he is, at present, No. 1 in the world. Now, however, on his way is the great rival, namely Medvedev. As is well known, the Russian eliminated him in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon (in five sets).
In fact, this is an early final, considering that Medvedev, on paper, è the only big man left on the US Open draw along with Sinner himself. It is a challenge that promises sparks with the Italian who will try to improve a statistic in which he è losing. In fact, the Russian leads in the previous records: seven wins to five.
“With Medvedev it will be very tough, physically and mentally, I hope it will be a good match and that you can have fun” the words of Sinner himself spoken at the end of the match he won against the American Paul. The Russian is having a masterful tournament, playing at a very high level but Sinner is well physically, è ready for the challenge and, best to remember, è the number 1 in the world.

Fonseca has already reinstated it, it will come in handy
Bennacer, after being considered redundant throughout the summer market session (so much so that he missed a few training sessions because he was “on the market”), has found out his future: he stays at AC Milan. The opportunity’to go and play in the rich Saudi Pro League did not è materialize and, therefore, Bennacer will continue his adventure at AC Milan.
The closing of the market in Saudi Arabia has sealed the end of the soap opera. Fonseca will have, therefore, at his disposal, Bennacer at least until January. A valuable element, if we consider how instrumental he was in winning the Scudetto in 2022 with Pioli on the bench to guide him.
Bennacer’s stay at the Diavolo closed, for good, the Rossoneri club’s doors to Rabiot. The Frenchman, having ended his long adventure at Juventus, seemed to be able to settle at AC Milan but, in the end, the negotiation never è got off the ground. The French midfielder, unemployed luxury, will have to look for another team.
Actually, the only possible route seems to be Turkey, maybe right at Galatasaray, together with Osimhen. Maybe not the very first choice (not even for the Nigerian outgoing from Napoli) but better than staying unemployed luxury. Meanwhile, with Bennacer’s confirmation, the Diavolo è complete. Fonseca now knows who he will be able to count on for this season, which is currently off to an uphill start.

World No. 1 has never made it past the quarterfinals at the US Open
Another great performance by Sinner. The Italian betrayed no emotion and got rid of the home idol Paul in three sets: 7-6, 7-6, 6-1 the partials in favor of the world number 1 who thus conquers the pass for the quarterfinals of the last Slam of the season where, waiting for him, there is Medvedev, his executioner at Wimbledon.
Sinner’s start is not one for anthology. He lost serve twice in the first set but è did well to fight back and take home the set in the tie-break. Very hard-fought second set, with the American doing everything to ruin Sinner’s plans but without succeeding. Another tie-break and 2-0 Sinner. Embittered, Paul begins to lose confidence in his own means. Sinner, like the world No. 1 that he is è, inserts the high gears and closes the file with a comfortable 6-1.
A test of great substance that confirms that Sinner is tremendously focused on his mission, which is to try to take home what would be his second Slam of the season (he won the Australian Open). Meanwhile è he has become the only person this season to have reached the quarterfinals in all four Grand Slam events. Not a bad achievement.
Now, on his way, there’s that Medvedev who, even lately, è managed to beat him. In fact, the record speaks for itself: 7-5 in favor of the Russian who, like Sinner, is having an excellent US Open. The Wimbledon rematch is worth a spot in the semifinals.
