Roberto Mancini after Saudi Arabia, son: “Ready for a new project”
The last, unfortunate parenthesis may soon be forgotten.
Roberto Mancini is no longer the technical commissioner of Saudi Arabia, but he is ready to start again as soon as possible on a new bench. Whether it be that of another national selection or perhaps that of a club, the first for him since as far back as 2018 (when he left Zenit St. Petersburg and the next day became Italy’s coach). Vouching for his future is his son, Andrea Mancini, who framed his plans and state of mind after the last turbulent week.
“When he è went to Saudi Arabia he believed in it, so by necessity now he è sorry,” Andrea Mancini told ‘Radio Serie A’ -He was convinced that he could do a good job, and I think that beyond the results something good came. His experience è however, is enormous, so he is already ready for a project that he can feel is his own. And lì certainly will doà well”.
Andrea Mancini then dismissed the question about his father’s possible restart from a club or national team: “Now è it is premature to talk about it. His career shows that he is è open to everything, as he has worked in Saudi Arabia, but also at Zenit or Galatasaray, as well as in England. He must però find a project that he can believe in and that will make him feel fulfilled”.
“Here patience is needed, especially now that local players are no longer starters at clubs. The managers are also very good but there is still not much experience for high-level soccer. It would have been really hard to qualify, I did not even have 50 percent of the starters in the league”, Roberto Mancini had told ‘Il Messaggero’, giving his explanation to the problems he faced as ct of Saudi Arabia.

ATP Finals, Jannik Sinner and all the combinations for the semifinals
In the evening, the challenge with the American Fritz
Today, in Turin, as far as the ATP Finals program is concerned, it is the turn of ìl Nastase group, then Sinner. The world No. 1, after beating, without any major headaches, De Minaur, aims to overcome the American Fritz, fresh from his fine success, on the first day, against Medvedev. A match that could open the door to the semifinals for the blue outfielder.
Counting in hand, if De Minaur, in the early afternoon match, beats Medvedev (who appeared unfocused in his debut with Fritz) and, at the same time, Sinner folds the American as happened at the US Open final, here is that the Italian would be certain to qualify, from first in the rankings, for the semifinals of the 2024 edition ATP Finals.
Sinner è in high spirits and knows that, winning the pass to the semifinals with a day in advance would also be a good shot to better dose his energy. Clearly a lot will depend on De Minaur, although beating Fritz è however, it is crucial to look at the continuation of the tournament with optimism. By winning with the American, even if Medvedev were to De Minaur, Sinner would have something to smile about with two wins out of two matches played (and, in fact, the near certainty of passage to the round).
Compounding Alcaraz’s uphill start (bad loss in his opener against Ruud), Sinner è right now, the clear favorite to win the ATP Finals. Today è a key day to certify his No. 1 status and put even more pressure on his opponents.

NBA: Cleveland unstoppable, Wembanyama puts on a show
The Cavs off to their best start since the Warriors (2015/16)
.
Cleveland continues to impress. Thanks to a stunning performance by Mitchell (36 points), the Cavs also bent the Bulls’ resistance (119-113 the final), bringing their record to 12 wins and no losses. To find such a dazzling start, one has to go back to the Warriors of the 2015/16 season, those of the initial 24 wins (they would later close the season with a 73-9 record).
“It’s good to be part of history. Nothing should be taken for granted, especially these feats. We are doing it in so many different ways. There’è always someone who, every time, sounds the charge. However, è always an effort from the whole team”, Mitchell's words reported by ESPN.
Applause also to Wembanyama, an absolute star in San Antonio’s win over Sacramento (116-96). The Spurs all-star dominated far and wide, ending the game with 34 points, 14 rebounds and also six assists. A constant and devastating presence in the middle of the court.
In the other games of the night, OKC è got rid of the LA Clippers (134-128, 45 points from a spectacular Gilgeous-Alexander) while New Orleans è was beaten by Brooklyn (107-105). Excellent and important win also by Houston: 107-92 against Washington.

Simone Bolelli jokes with Andrea Vavassori: “We can still go on … as long as I can!”
The words of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori
Big win for Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, who avenged the final they lost at the Australian Open and in less than an hour dominated Bopanna and Ebden far and wide.

“We serve well, we cover the net well and we play well from the back” and today it è showed in a particular way. Lots of quality solutions” for the two blues, who more” times left the audience of the’Inalpi Arena breathless.
“For me, this qualification è was a dream”, says Vavassori, host. “There’s no favorite couple here, we are all competitive. I imagined I would receive a lot of warmth from the audience, but I did not imagine so much”.
On Wednesday, against Krawietz and Puetz, a match that canò already be worth a historic qualification: “We know them very well, we beat them in Australia and Halle and we lost to them in New York”. But in Turin, with the whole crowd to push the Azzurri, it will be a whole different story.
