The desire to see the best players in the world in action again in a Grand Slam is increasing as the long-awaited date approaches. Wimbledon It will start next Monday, July 1 and the bets on who will take the title in the men’s team are burning. Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz y Novak Djokovic They are the names that seem closest to that, but with certain particularities to take into account. And, while the Italian has started the grass tour with his first title in Halle and Carlitos will compete in Wimbledon after having won Roland Garros, the Serbian’s participation is still up in the air.

Nole is training there just a few days after having meniscus surgery, but it will depend on how he feels to decide his fate on the London grass. Will he make a decision before the draw next Friday? We will still have to wait. Meanwhile, the world of tennis and all its actors involved, to a greater or lesser extent, continue to express their opinions regarding favoritism in the third Grand Slam of the season. Thus, the recognized Ivan Ljubicic was chatting to Sky Sports Not only about this topic, but he also took the opportunity to praise Sinner as a player and as a person.

“I think Jannik Sinner is a wonderful example for young people. It’s not that others aren’t, but he has a particular way of doing things: he doesn’t get excited when he wins and he doesn’t make dramas when he loses. He does his job, he delivers. what he says. His greatest talent is to get to work like this, he doesn’t change his character and he will continue like this, and that will take him very high. We’ll see. He just won his first Slam and now he continues to win more tournaments. said Roger Federer’s former coach.

Right now, the world number 1 is the top favorite for the title on paper, as he will also arrive with a very good run after becoming champion in the Halle tournament. Meanwhile, Carlitos was unable to defend his crown at Queen’s, facing Wimbledon without the necessary training and with the mission of revalidating the title. However, Ljubicic puts the Murcian player at the same level as the San Candido player. What possibilities does it give Nole?: “Wimbledon is already around the corner. Federer won many after conquering Halle, we will see if it is also Sinner’s turn. Before Roland Garros there were many questions, especially from the physical point of view with respect to Alcaraz, Sinner and Djokovic, who was fine, but had no match rhythm. Now everything is different. Sinner and Alcaraz seem to be fine and are the favorites. Nole has had surgery, but he will try to be present: it would be something very nice. They are Jannik and Carlitos.”

Even so, Ljubicic wants to be on the safe side, as there are many games to play before reaching the grand final. The first thing of all is to see how each of them will face the first games before making a more precise prediction, since everything will also depend on the rivals they have to face. And on this surface, we have been able to see that certain players have more skills than others and will be really very difficult to fight. “The first three or four rounds will tell us how all the protagonists are doing. If the best survive the first week, they will become more and more favourites.”said the Croatian.

He competed in his first Olympics at age 19. He returned twice in his 20s. Now, just months shy of his 40th birthday, he’s about to get another taste.

LeBron James has nothing left to prove. If he lines up with the Americans once again, it’s simply because he wants to.

James is set to become the first U.S. men’s basketball player to compete in the Olympics in three decades.

The United States camp is in motion in Nevada, the starting point where they are ultimately looking for a fifth gold medal in a row.

“I’m still playing at a high level,” said James, who has two gold medals and a bronze to his name. “I still enjoy playing basketball and I have a great relationship with Team USA. It was important for me to join the guys this summer.”

James can notably reconnect with two of his former coaches, Erik Spoelstra and Tyronn Lue. He won an NBA title with each of them at the helm.

“It’s amazing how intense he is in practice,” U.S. coach Steve Kerr said. “I asked Ty and ‘Spo’ if that’s normal, and they said he’s like that every drill, every day.” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

James won bronze in 2004 in Athens and also in 2006 at the World Championship (now the World Cup) in Japan.

Since then, the Americans have always won gold when he has donned their jersey, with a record of 36-0.

“Our only goal is to win gold,” James said.

The Americans will face Canada in a pre-season match on Wednesday.

As part of its “Land of Games Paris 2024” label, the Community and Sports Life office of the Pont-Saint-Esprit town hall organized a day around the Paralympic Games last Monday at Clos Bon-Aure.

Thus, all the CM1 and CM2 pupils in the town, i.e. 250 children, were able to practice Paralympic sports thanks to the equipment provided by the Gard handisport committee: goalball, judo and long race with guide for visually impaired people, wheelchair basketball and sprint for motor impaired people. They were also able to talk with the Spiripontain motorcycle rider Matthieu Lefebvre, who himself has a disability.

The idea of this day, a few weeks before the Olympic and Paralympic Games, was to raise awareness among students about disabilities. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Carlos Alcaraz (ATP 3) has to take a detour against Ugo Humbert (ATP 16), but is in the quarterfinals after a 6:3, 6:4, 1:6, 7:5.
Jannik Sinner (ATP 1) leaves Ben Shelton (ATP 14) no chance.
On the outdoor courts at Wimbledon, some matches have to be interrupted again due to the rain.

Playful and with fast legs: Carlos Alcaraz thrilled the crowd on Centre Court when he reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon – but then found himself in danger at times. The 21-year-old defending champion was the more complete professional in the almost three-hour duel with the aggressive Frenchman Ugo Humbert and won 6:3, 6:4, 1:6, 7:5.

A loss of tension in the third set cost Alcaraz an even quicker win, but Humbert then played well and sensed his chance of a surprise. After that, however, the Spaniard improved again and made it to the quarter-finals. There he will face Tommy Paul (USA) or Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP).

The world number one Jannik Sinner stopped the winning streak of American tennis pro Ben Shelton at Wimbledon. The 22-year-old Italian won in the round of 16 with 6:2, 6:4, 7:6 (11:9). In the fight for a place in the round of the best four, Sinner will face former US Open winner Daniil Medvedev from Russia or Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov.
