Xvdfsabyydpjrm

In a match that Rafael Nadal warned could be his last at Roland Garros, he sent his old rival Novak Djokovic to the semifinals, scoring two wins in the match and breaking his 14th Roland Garros title record. .

Nadal, who turns 36 on Friday, defeated the Serbian leaders 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (4) in the evening match that ended after 01:00 in Paris. In Friday's semifinals, he will face third tribe Alexander Zverev, who defeated 19-year-old Nadal compatriot Carlos Alcaraz 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (seventh).

Winner Nadal-Zverev is likely to be the favorite for Sunday's final, as the first two places lost in the second round of the last 16.

After Alcaraz's departure, it became clear that winner Nadal-Djokovic would be the strong favorite for the title. Nadal cut their lead in the rivalry - the highest score in the history of open-air men's tennis - to 30-29 for Djokovic to win.

Despite winning the Australian Open in January in the absence of Djokovic, Nadal entered the tournament as the weakest behind Djokovic and Alcaraz.

The foot injury that first plagued him in 2005 when he won his first Open French title at the age of 19 became a serious problem and hampered his preparations for Roland Garros. He failed to win a clay court tour before coming to Paris for the first time in his career (not counting the 2020 hit with COVID).

Nadal also took five sets, four hours and 21 minutes to win his previous game Sunday, a fourth-round draw against Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime. Djokovic, meanwhile, was in the spotlight on Tuesday - conditions less favorable for Nadal than that day - as he was unbeaten in his first four games.

But Nadal went on to aim to increase his record to 22nd place in singles. At the age of 20, Djokovic equalized with Roger Federer. If Nadal wins the Musketeers Cup again on Sunday, then Djokovic, 35, who is level on points with Nadal and Federer after Wimbledon last year, will not be able to take over until 2023.

'Better Call Saul' Star Julie Ann Emery Stresses Movie Studios The Need To Step Away From Superhero Stories

Julie Ann Emery, who plays one of the show's stars, Betty Kettleman, said that explains Vince Gilligan's famous post when we all said goodbye Monday night at the Better Call Saul finale (available on AMC+ in Canada). Studios need to move away from superhero stories and back into character creation. “We live in a world where the movie experience is so good that the studios are really obsessed with superhero movies and you call Bad and Best and Breaking Bad and Best Saul. Take your time to create these things,” Emery told Yahoo Canada. I think this is very interesting. "[In] Breaking Bad we've seen the show itself change every season as Walter White gets darker, he goes down that rabbit hole and we have to go with him and I think we're not one. from our films. It's like [not a movie], but something that TV likes right now. I think so. I hope we will see our character return to create new characters, but the writers of both shows have been very meticulous when

Liverpool Vs. Crystal Palace Prediction, Odds: Expert Reveals 2022 English Premier League Picks For August 15

On Monday, Liverpool will host Crystal Palace at Anfield in a clash of teams seeking their first English Premier League title of the 2022-2023 season. The Reds will be looking to score maximum points after a disappointing 2-2 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage last Saturday. They know they can't afford to do that again because a tough championship battle is going to happen this year. Manchester City beat Liverpool by one point to take the crown last year. City's 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday resulted in a 2-0 win on a goal difference of +6. The Eagles kick off the Premier League season on Friday 5 August with a game against Arsenal. The Gunners, hoping to go top of the table, beat Selhurst Park 2-0. Things haven't gotten any easier for Palace this week, but manager Patrick Vieira has started to turn things around with a side that finished 12th in the Premier League table in 2021/22. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00 PM ET in Liverpool, England. Caesars Sportsbook ra

Chelsea Vs. Tottenham Score: Harry Kane Scores In Final Minute As Spurs Earn Draw At Stamford Bridge

Gambar
It was a bitter and heated battle at Stamford Bridge that saw Chelsea and Tottenham equalize in Sunday's 2-2 draw. Goals from Kalidou Koulibaly and Rhys James were thwarted by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane for Chelsea, with the England striker going home at the last minute. There was some intensity to the game as three players were booked, with Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte booked after Spurs scored in the 68th minute. Tuchel wanted to whistle the ball after a foul on Kai Havertz, but the goal stood because it was a different phase of the game. In terms of intensity, both coaches see red after the game. Chelsea saw Marc Cuquerella start the game with a first-half assist from Koulibaly, then they controlled the game for 60 minutes and couldn't concede a corner to Spurs during that time. Richarlison's introduction on the debut changed the course of the game, but Raheem Sterling beat James on an open run to put Chelsea 2-1 ahead in the 15th minute when he fell tryin
