Wimbledon 2023: Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, Aryna Sabalenka Enter Round Of 16 | Tennis News

Top seed Alcaraz is seen as the biggest threat to Novak Djokovic, who is gunning for a record-equalling eighth men's title and 24th Grand Slam crown overall. But the Spaniard, who won the grass-court Queen's tournament last month, was made to work hard for the win by his Chilean opponent, seeded 25th, before prevailing 6-3, 6-7 (6/8), 6-3, 7-5.Alcaraz bounced back from losing his first set of the tournament to lead 2-1 but narrowly avoided going a double break down in the fourth set before redi...

I think that's why I won today...

[ad_1] Former world number one Daniil Medvedev set up an Adelaide International semi-final against either Novak Djokovic or Denis Shapovalov Friday with a command performance in the countdown to the opening Grand Slam of the year.

Serbian top seed Djokovic, bidding for a 92nd career title and first in Adelaide since 2007, locks horns with Canada's Shapovalov in an evening clash."Never easy to play your compatriot.

Wimbledon Player Ban Changed ‘Nothing’: Aryna Sabalenka | Tennis News

[ad_1] File photo of Aryna Sabalenka.© AFPWorld number five Aryna Sabalenka said Sunday that Wimbledon's ban on Russian and Belarusian players last year achieved "nothing" and that she "really hoped" it would change course in 2023.

Russian and Belarusian players, including Sabalenka, were eventually barred from Wimbledon with both the ATP and WTA -- the men's and women's governing bodies -- stripping the Grand Slam of its ranking points in response."I'm just really disappointed sport is somehow in politics. We're just athletes playing their sport. That's it. We're not about politics," she told the Melbourne Age newspaper on the sidelines of the Adelai...
