• 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.

And a third victory for France. Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies) won the ninth stage of the Tour de France 2024, that of the white paths, Sunday July 9, in Troyes (Aube).

Tadej Pogacar remains in yellow at the end of a completely crazy stage marked by numerous attacks and several “explanations” between favorites.

It was in a sprint that Turgis beat his breakaway companions to beat the Briton Tom Pidcock and the Canadian Derek Gee and secure the greatest victory of his career.

“It’s incredible, it’s been a long time since I won. I’ve been thinking about a big victory for years,” he exulted, very moved.

A specialist in the classics, the 30-year-old from the Paris region, who comes from a family of cyclists, had already taken second place in Milan-San Remo. He brings his TotalEnergies team its first victory in the Grande Boucle since that of Lilian Calmejane in 2017.

It is also the third French victory in this Tour, after those of Romain Bardet (DSM-Firmenich Postnl) and Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) during the first two stages. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

This stage concludes, before the rest day on Monday, a great first week with also the record of victories of the Briton Mark Cavendish (Astana) (35 victory on the Tour) and the first of the Eritrean Biniam Girmay, as well as already some great battles for the yellow jersey.

After the Troyes stage, a total concentration of cycling, the general classification remains unchanged, with the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) maintaining a 33-second lead over the Belgian Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Steps), 1:15 over the Dane Jonas Vingegaard (Visma) and 1:36 over Primoz Roglic (Red Bull).

But the main favourites fought like rarely on the plain, like Pogacar who attacked twice in the last 22 kilometres without however managing to take off.

Evenepoel launched a very daring attack 70 km from the finish line, followed only by Pogacar and Vingegaard.

In a rare image on the Tour, the three men, isolated from the rest of the peloton, quickly returned to the breakaway before getting back up, cooled by the prospect of being cut off from their teammates on the dangerous wine-growing paths of the Aube, riddled with traps.

The breakaway, made up of strong riders, was then able to gain ground and in the end it was Anthony Turgis who proved to be the strongest.
