The second part of the cement season returns. After the clay court tournaments and the brief interlude on the grass, we return to the surface which takes up most of the tennis year.
It began in Washington, before moving on to the two Masters 1000: first Montreal for the Rogers Cup, then Cincinnati for what will be the third 1000 tournament of the season to be played on American cement after Indian Wells and Miami.
After the publication of the registration list of Montreal, that of Cincinnati arrives. There is no change compared to the Canadian tournament: the same players and the same contradictions.
World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev, returning from his forced Wimbledon stoppage, tops the list. The first contradiction is in the second place: Alexander Zverev, the defending champion, is still registered in the Masters 1000 tournament.
Rafael Nadal is also returning to the United States in force: the Spaniard has not participated in this tournament since 2017, where he reached the quarter-finals, losing against Nick Kyrgios.
The seventh seed should be Novak Djokovic, but the problem of the Serb is already known: not being vaccinated, he cannot enter the United States of America; a discourse that applies to both the Cincinnati 1000 tournament and the US Open.
Also present is Andrey Rublev, finalist last year in Cincinnati and beaten by the world number two. The first Italian in the draw is Jannik Sinner, seeded No. 10 in the draw; follows Matteo Berrettini who, due to Wimbledon points, is “only” the fifteenth seed.
The presence of the other Italians is expected, that is to say Fabio Fognini, Lorenzo Sonego and Lorenzo Musetti. Among the hosts, the one leading the United States car is Taylor Fritz, who has already won a masters 1000 in his country, Indian Wells.
Takur parle de Nole Djokovic
Ramesh Takur has split a long forum on the case of Novak Djokovic, and the arguments really deserve to be studied closely. According to him, the Serb must participate in the US Open.
He also returns to the Australian episode by giving a reading of the events different from that proposed at the time of the facts by the media and the institutions of the country of Nick Kyrgios.
Watch out, it’s moving! “Djokovic had to be kept out of Australia not because he could infect other people, but because he is a visible reminder of vaccine failure.
The government was terrified that a twice-infected, but unvaccinated Djokovic could flaunt his athletic prowess on the pitch for a record 21st major triumph and end the steadily escalating COVID terror. ”
