French Open: Stefanos Tsitsipas reaches 4th round to setup Matteo Arnaldi clash

French Open: Stefanos Tsitsipas reaches 4th round to setup Matteo Arnaldi clash

Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas continued his march in the French Open as he aims to secure his first Grand Slam of his career. The Greek sensation dominated his match against China’s Zhang Zhizhen at the French Open, securing a comfortable victory with a scoreline of 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. This win marks Tsitsipas’s sixth consecutive entry into the fourth round at Roland Garros. Tsitsipas, who reached the final in 2021, displayed his prowess on the court by unleashing over 30 winners throughout the match, which lasted a brisk 91 minutes. He now sets his sights on a clash with Matteo Arnaldi of Italy, who caused a stir by defeating the sixth seed, Andrey Rublev, earlier in the day. Zhang Zhizhen, who made history last year as the first Chinese man in 86 years to win a main-draw match at the French Open, couldn’t replicate his previous success. Throughout the match, he struggled to create break-point opportunities, ultimately unable to mount a significant challenge against Tsitsipas’s dominant performance. How did Tsitsipas dominate Zhizhen? From the outset, Tsitsipas asserted his authority by claiming the first three games of the match. He maintained this momentum, breaking Zhang’s serve early in the second set. Tsitsipas showcased flawless tennis, committing only three unforced errors in the second set while consistently pressuring Zhang’s serve. As the match progressed, Zhang’s forehand faltered, leading to crucial errors that allowed Tsitsipas to capitalize and secure breaks, particularly in the third set. With Zhang unable to find his rhythm, Tsitsipas seized control and closed out the match convincingly. Overall, Tsitsipas demonstrated his class and determination, setting himself up for a promising continuation in the tournament as he aims for further success at Roland Garros. The Greek star will face Arnaldi on June 2, Sunday. Published On: May 31, 2024

How a spirited USA gave India a run for their money before succumbing to first T20 World Cup defeat | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: On expected lines, the USA cricket team lost to powerhouse India at the T20 World Cup.It was their first defeat in the tournament. And the final score — India winning by 7 wickets — suggests that it was a one-sided affair.But it was not the case.The newcomers showed superb grit and determination and gave India a run for their money before succumbing to their first-ever defeat at the cricketing extravaganza. Aided by a tricky surface at the Nassau Stadium in New York, the USA team gave their all and won hearts despite the defeat.In chase of a below-par 111, India took 18.2 overs to cross the finish line and secure a spot in the Super 8s. With nothing to lose, USA came out in all attack mode, defending 110 and tasted early success.The third ball of the game saw left-arm Saurabh Netravalkar getting rid of star India batter Virat Kohli for his first ever golden duck in the T20 World Cups.Stunning a sea of blue at the stadium, Netravalkar got Kohli to edge a delivery outside off to give India an early blow.The left-arm pacer then struck again, first-ball of his second over, this time sending back India skipper Rohit Sharma for 3.Stunned early in the chase, India found themselves reeling at 10 for 2 in the third over.Last-match hero Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav then tried to steady the chase as the US bowlers kept the Indians under pressure with some superb bowling.When it looked like India were back on course in chase, Pakistan-born pacer Ali Khan got rid of Pant for 18, once again putting pressure back on the chasing team.With runs hard to come by on a bowling friendly surface, Suryakumar and Shivam Dube struggled really hard in the middle.After the fall of Pant in the 8th over, India only managed a sole boundary till the final ball of the 14th over.And in between that, Suryakumar also got a huge lifeline when he was dropped in the 13th over by Netravalkar at short third.At the end of the 14th over in 111 chase, India were struggling at 67 for 3 as USA bowlers bowled their hearts out.The 15th over finally saw India batters breaking the shackles with Shivam Dube whacking Corey Anderson to release the building pressure.From there one India did not look back and both the set batters Surya and Dube looked at ease.USA getting docked 5 penalty runs as they went past 60 seconds-mark to start a new over 3 times in the innings — new rule — also didn’t help their cause as India were now back in control.With a flurry of boundaries, Surya and Dube wrapped up the chase in the 19th over.

Ramandeep Singh Dismisses Mitchell Starc Injury Concern, Says He's Available For Selection vs PBKS

Ramandeep Singh Dismisses Mitchell Starc Injury Concern, Says He’s Available For Selection vs PBKS

File photo of Mitchell Starc.© BCCI Mitchell Starc has no injury concern and is “available” for selection, Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Ramandeep Singh said even as the star pacer indulged in just light training sessions ahead of their IPL clash against Punjab Kings. The Australian cricketer, who attracted a record bid, did not have the kind of return to the league after eight years he would have hoped as he has leaked plenty of runs this season and has managed just six wickets. The left-arm quick also reportedly sustained a finger injury on his bowling hand during their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Starc did not bowl at the nets in their two practice sessions ahead of their match against PBKS, while Sri Lankan pacer Dushmantha Chameera was seen slogging it out, fuelling speculation that the Aussie may be “rested”. But Ramandeep said Starc was available for selection. “Yes, he’s available. It’s got to do with his workload management,” Ramandeep said. “He is a legend. Cricket is a game of time. We can’t judge him from a few matches,” he said. With Starc going through a poor patch, the bowling unit has come under pressure but Ramandeep said, “There has been no discussion on bowling.” “We just discus about execution and plan and how to improve further. We don’t’ judge someone in one or two matches.” With five wins in seven matches, KKR occupy the second spot in the 10-team table and are well placed to finish in top-two. “We are going for one game at a time. We are just focused on Punjab match, not thinking about finishing top two at the moment,” Ramandeep said. He further credited team mentor Gautam Gambhir for their consistent show this season. “Everyone has a lot of clarity. It’s only because of him the team is performing so well. He is backing everyone,” he said. (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.) Topics mentioned in this article

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH: Hardik Pandya in awe of ‘unbelievable’ Suryakumar Yadav after Sunrisers heroics

Suryakumar Yadav heaped praise on Suryakumar Yadav after the MI batter scored a spectacular hundred against SRH in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Monday, May 6 at the Wankhede Stadium. Suryakumar was struggling with his fitness and was unable to run, but he kept playing his shots to stay unbeaten on 102 off 51 balls with 12 fours and 6 sixes. On the back of his knock, MI chased down a stiff target of 174 with 16 balls to spare and beat the Sunrisers by 7 wickets. He was also involved in a partnership of 143 runs with Tilak Varma after MI lost 3 quick wickets in the powerplay. “SKY was unbelievable. More than him getting runs, him putting so much pressure on bowlers that even other batters get loose balls. He breaks you. He’s evolved. Lucky to have him in my team. Hope to have many more such innings,” Hardik said in the post-match presentation ceremony. IPL 2024 Full Coverage | IPL 2024 Points Table and Standings | 2024 IPL Full Schedule ‘Happy with how we went today’ MI stayed alive in the tournament with the win, but Hardik doesn’t want to clutter his mind with ‘mathematical’ scenarios going ahead. “I don’t know the mathematical situation we need to go through but happy with how we went today. Gave 15-20 runs extra but batting was excellent,” Hardik said. Hardik was also happy after he bowled well against the Orange Army. He got the wickets of Nitish Kumar Reddy, Marco Jansen and Shahbaz Ahmed, and finished with impressive figures of 4-0-31-3. “My bowling – I do the stuff I do. I like bowling good areas and see how it goes. Today it was nipping around and that worked,” Hardik added. MI will look to carry the confidence when they face Shreyas Iyer’s KKR on Saturday, May 11 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Published By: sabyasachi chowdhury Published On: May 7, 2024 Tune In

MATCH: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai IndiansDATE: Mar 27, 2024TIME: 19:30 IST / 14:00 GMTVENUE: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium – Hyderabad, India TOURNAMENT: IPL 2024 Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians Betting Tips Heinrich Klaasen hit 63 runs from 29 balls in Match 3 and we are backing the South African to be Sunrisers Hyderabad’s highest run scorer against Mumbai Indians. T Natarajan has already taken three wickets in the tournament and the left-arm medium fast bowler is our pick for Sunrisers Hyderabad’s top wicket taker in this game.Rohit Sharma caught the eye with 43 runs from 29 balls at the top of the order against Gujarat Titans and the former skipper is our tip for Mumbai Indians’ highest run scorer against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Jasprit Bumrah produced figures of 3/14 in Sunday evening’s match and the pacer is a strong choice for Mumbai Indians’ top wicket taker in this match.As one of the most exciting batters in world cricket, we recommend selecting Heinrich Klaasen to hit the most sixes in this clash. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Match 8 of the 2024 Indian Premier League sees Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Mumbai Indians on Wednesday evening at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Both teams lost their opening fixtures with Sunrisers losing by 4 runs to Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians losing to Gujarat Titans by 6 runs. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway at 19:30 local time in Hyderabad.  Although Sunrisers Hyderabad were beaten in their first game of the 2024 IPL, there were plenty of encouraging moments for the side who finished bottom of the table last year. However, this looks like being another very tough fixture against Mumbai Indians. It was a very entertaining game between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans in Match 5 although ultimately Hardik Pandya could not lead his side to victory over the team he left at the end of last season. But any team with Hardik, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah are going to be a threat and we expect them to win this fixture. SRH vs MI Match Toss PredictionThe last two IPL matches at this venue were won by the team chasing so we predict that both captains will want to field first ahead of this game on Wednesday. SRH vs MI Pitch ReportThe average score when batting first at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in the IPL is under 160 but with totals increasing over recent seasons we expect a par first innings total to be around 180. Hyderabad Weather ReportClear skies are forecast throughout this game on Wednesday evening in Hyderabad. It will be very warm as well with the temperature unlikely to drop below 29 degrees.

Ireland Women vs West Indies Women, IWCWCQ, Today Match Prediction

Ireland Women vs West Indies Women, IWCWCQ, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Ireland Women vs West Indies Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 11, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 10:00 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore Cantt, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 5th ODI 2025 West Indies Women have a great record against Ireland Women in ODIs, having lost to them just once across 10 matches.  Ireland Women vs West Indies Women TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IREW vs WIW Match Prediction & Analysis Ireland Women take on West Indies Women this Friday in match five of the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier in Lahore. Both sides dropped their opening games and now need a win to stay in the hunt. West Indies have had the upper hand in past meetings—it’s been over two decades since they last lost to Ireland, back in 2003. That history puts them ahead going into this one. TEAMS PREVIEW Ireland Women Preview Ireland Women didn’t have the ideal start to their World Cup Qualifier run. After doing well to keep Pakistan to 217 in Lahore, they fell short in the chase, ending with 179. The result didn’t go their way, but there were still some encouraging signs. Gaby Lewis and Amy Hunter both made 44, providing a decent base in the middle. Orla Prendergast added 37, but the rest of the batting lineup couldn’t keep the momentum going on a sluggish pitch. Going forward, Ireland will hope for better returns from Laura Delany and Sarah Forbes to help support the trio of Lewis, Hunter, and Prendergast. With the ball, Jane Maguire led the effort against Pakistan, finishing with 3-33 from her 10 overs. Arlene Kelly and Cara Murray also kept things tight and grabbed two wickets each, while Prendergast bowled economically with the new ball. West Indies Women Preview West Indies Women won’t be happy with how things went in their opener against Scotland Women. Chasing 245 in Lahore, they fell short by 12 runs, bowled out for 233. Hayley Matthews put up a brilliant fight with an unbeaten 114, but she had little support. Only Zaida James (45) stuck around long enough to make a difference, while the rest collapsed after early promise. They’ll want to fix that going forward. Matthews will continue to be the anchor, but players like Shemaine Campbelle, Stafanie Taylor, and Chinelle Henry need to deliver. Campbelle has been in solid touch lately, with 217 runs in her last 10 games—we’re backing her to get at least 30 in this one. With the ball, Matthews led again, picking up 4 for 56 from her 10 overs. Aaliyah Alleyne and Karishma Ramharack supported well, taking two wickets each. Chinelle Henry and Zaida James didn’t manage any breakthroughs with the new ball, but now that they’ve had a feel of the pitch, they should come back stronger in the next outing. Weather Conditions Gaddafi Stadium offers a firm surface with noticeable cracks developing across the center wicket. Morning moisture is expected, but it should evaporate quickly after 10 am. Batters who survive initial movement will find consistent bounce and value for shots. Spinners gain traction in the middle overs due to surface abrasion. Wind direction favors outswing bowling from the pavilion end.  The weather in Lahore will be slightly cloudy and breezy on Friday. But there is no rain threat so we will get a full game. IREW vs WIW Pitch Report The average score batting first is 236 in women’s ODIs. The highest total posted at the venue is Pakistan Women’s 335-3 versus Ireland Women in 2022. Both teams will be looking to set a score of around 230-245 runs in this game to feel confident. Toss: To Bat Batting first seems to be advantageous at the Gaddafi Stadium as we saw in the first game of the tournament, as the wicket tends to slow down in the second innings.
