desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Berrettini is Back!
In these days I have been following the amazing comeback of Matteo Berrettini. Winning two titles in two weeks, Gstaad and Kitzbuhel, he is now again in the ATP top 40. It is a pity that he will not be present at the Olympics.
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] King Carlos
The Wimbledon's final crowned again King Carlos as the real star of tennis in this moment. Despite Novak was a little bit under pressure and not in a good shape, the performance of Alcaraz was unbelievably good, with a total dominance of the match. The only spot in which I saw Alcaraz worried was during the third set, with three championship points thrown in the rubbish bin. I was amazed to read again all the records of this amazing player. Will be the couple Sinner-Alcaraz be close enough in some years to the legendary old Nadal-Federer rivalry?
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Paolini-Krejcikova @ Wimbledon
After a tough battle, Jasmine lost Wimbledon's final. Sad, it's true. But what a great future for her!
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Paolini-Vekic @ Wimbledon
Jasmine Paolini will play Wimbledon's final!
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] We are still in!
The match between Lorenzo Musetti and Taylor Fritz was an incredible adventure. Now what he called the "big big battle" against one of the biggest legends of tennis has to be fought. Today is also a match day for Jasmine Paolini: she will play a legendary semi-final against Vekic.

desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Jasmine Paolini in the History!
With a stunning match, Jasmine Paolini flies to the semi-finals in Wimbledon! She is the first italian woman to do that.
desy.de/~dlai: [Athletics] Olympics' Selection
It has been published the list of the athletes representing Italy in Paris. Some golds to defend, and we are in a relatively good shape.
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Sinner-Medvedev @ Wimbledon
Not the best day for Jannik. Some marvellous sets played, but the psychological game by Medvedev was really effective on him. It has been a wonderful dream.
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Wimbledon predictions [update]
For the semi-finals, I expect
Sinner--Alcaraz
Fritz--Djokovic
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Emma Raducanu @ Wimbledon
I just saw this very nice article about Emma Raducanu's adventure at Wimbledon. Highly suggested.
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Djokovic-Rune @ Wimbledon
The attack of Djokovic to the disrespectful fans has been the most spicy interview of the whole tournament. I don't know, it was weird and I did not like it a lot.
To see Djokovic in this good shape is a pleasure. I am very happy for my previsions, that I guessed well, except for Zverev.
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Wimbledon predictions
I made some days ago some predictions for the round
of 16 that are going pretty well! Only two matches to go.
Sinner--Medvedev
Alcraz--Paul
Musetti--Zverev
De Minaur--Djokovic
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Musetti-Perricard @ Wimbledon
Lorenzo Musetti just did an amazing match and won against Perricard. Now two italians in the male quarter-finals, and Jasmine Paolini for the female round of 16. What a task force!
desy.de/~dlai: [Athletics] Diamond League in Paris
Some concerns are arising due to the time of Filippo Tortu in the 200m yesterday. See here.
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Sinner-Shelton @ Wimbledon
The win of Jannik Sinner is spreading a bit in Italy, where apparently the most appreciated score of the game was his tweener. See also tuttosport.com, corrieredellasera.it and rainews.it.
In a stunning tie-break, Jannik Sinner flies to the quarter-finals. Jannik, ti vogliamo bene!
First and second sets goes to Jannik. Forza!
desy.de/~dlai: [Athletics] Diamond League in Paris
Larissa Iapichino (PB 6.95 m) won the long jump competition with 6.82 m!
Filippo Tortu concludes 4th with 20.53. Probably he expected a way better time.
WORLD RECORD in high jump (2.10 m) of a stunning Yaroslava Mahuchikh. What a performance! A very nice day so far: I read also that a WL time has been set on 800 meters.
Not so good at the moment for the italians in the competition, Lorenzo Simonelli out from the 110 haies' final. Filippo Tortu has still to say his words on 200m. Let's see.
desy.de/~dlai: [Tennis] Keys-Paolini @ Wimbledon
Due to injury, Keys retired from the match. Jasmine Paolini goes straight to the quarter-finals. A sad win, I have to say.
Keys won the second set and is 5-4 ahead in the last set. Go Jasmine! The tournament set up a live tracking system of the results, avaiable here.
Today is good for italians @ Wimbledon. Jasmine Paolini is playing against Keys amazingly well: she gained the first set and the second set is at tie-break!
