Jannik Sinner and Tomas Machac faced off in Miami

.

Starring in the first of the two Shanghai Masters 1000 semifinals (the other will face Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz), Jannik Sinner and Tomas Machac are no strangers to each other. The two, on the contrary, have faced each other quite recently, specifically at the quarterfinal level of another 1,000-point tournament, that of Miami.

Last March 27, the current world No. 1 and the newly crowned Olympic mixed doubles champion (along with the other Czech tennis player Katerina Siniakova) in fact took the court to vie for a place in the semifinals of the tournament in the South Florida metropolis: it was Sinner who won, 6-4, 6-2 in one hour and thirty-three minutes of play.

In that match Machac è was only up twice, 3-2 in the first set and 1-0 in the second. That victory, by the way, bore well for Sinner, who went on to win the Miami tournament by beating Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals and Grigor Dimitrov in the finals, also in those cases by two sets to none.

Returning to Shanghai, Jannik Sinner is looking for victory number 19 in his last 21 singles outings, from the Montreal tournament to date.The only two losses came in the quarters of the Canadian tournament against Andrey Rublev and in the final in Beijing against Carlos Alcaraz, a victory that eluded the South Tyrolean only in the third-set tiebreak.

The words of Loris Capirossi

Loris Capirossi spoke about the last MotoGp weekend: “I think it will be a beautiful finale. We have to be honest: è very difficult for Pecco, it must happen that Jorge makes some mistakes, becauseé 24 points gap is a lot. Forò races are always races, anything canò really happen».

“Arithmetically it is not è over. Pecco in Sepang showed that he still believes. And he does well. I think we need to wait until the checkered flag of the real race, becauseé even the Sprint, unless Bagnaia falls, will not decide» nothing».

“Can the challenge between Martin and Bagnaiaò be compared to that between Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, considering they had the same bike? Absolutely sì. They are showing that they have reached a very high level, their challenge is becoming epic. Martin knows he has an almost unique chance, so I think he will be wait-and-see. Pecco, on the other hand, has to bring home the maximum, although it may not be enough”.

“What does Bagnaia have to do, besides having to win races? Have c… In the sense that something has to happen to Jorge. What about Martin? Nothing. he has to stay calm”.

David Luiz bad from the penalty spot

The third match between Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro in the last ten days è ended in a goalless draw at the Maracanã. A little more than 72 hours after the intense Copa do Brasil final, which saw the title go to the Rio team, the formations found themselves back on the field Wednesday, albeit without some representative elements.

In the first half, Flamengo è failed to take the lead only because of opposing goalkeeper Everson. The’Atl’tico’s extreme defender è was also the protagonist in the highlight of the first 45 minutes, when he parried a penalty kicked by David Luiz: slow and predictable the defender’s execution.

In the second half, good chances on both sides. Matheus Gonçalves, for Flamengo, hit the post of the goal defended by Everson. On the other side, Scarpa and Paulinho orchestrated the best attacks by Atl’tico.

In the final minutes, intensity and running gave way to ball possession and long throws into the box. Neither team è managed to unlock the result, which è remained unchanged: zero to zero.
