Novak Djokovic defeated his good friend Vasek Pospisil to reach the semi-finals of the Tel Aviv Watergen Open.

Having eased past Pablo Andujar on Thursday in his first ATP Tour match for more than four months, Djokovic had a tougher time of things against Canadian Pospisil before sealing a 7-6 (5) 6-3 triumph.

The pair teamed up to found the Professional Tennis Players Association three years ago, and 149th-ranked Pospisil did not face a break point in the opening set.

He then fought back from 5-1 down in the tie-break with four points in a row before Djokovic took it, while in the second set the Serbian won the final three games after seeing an early break slip away.

“It was a great, positive win,” Djokovic said in his on-court interview. “Vasek is one of my best friends on the tour.

“We have known each other for many years. It is never easy playing someone you respect so much and like so much, but we are both professionals and wanted to win the match and you can see that.

“I think the level of tennis was really high. Especially towards the end of the first set and the second set. Credit to him for fighting. Great to see him back.”

In the last four, Djokovic will take on Russian Roman Safiullin, while the other semi-final pits second seed Marin Cilic against France’s Constant Lestienne. If you want to make your watching experience more interesting, try live betting on these matches to score a win!

There was a major shock at the Korea Open, where Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka knocked out top seed Casper Ruud 6-2 3-6 6-2.

The US Open finalist’s defeat means Rafael Nadal will overtake him as world number two next week.

Second seed Cameron Norrie withdrew ahead of his quarter-final against Jenson Brooksby through illness. The American will take on Denis Shapovalov in the last four, while Nishioka meets lucky loser Aleksandar Kovacevic, who is having the best week of his career.

Neverovatni srpski vaterpolista prošlog leta se oprostio od reprezentacije, a sledećeg će potpuno izaći iz bazena.

Levoruki 35-godišnnjak izgradio je ime igrajući za za Partizan, Pro Reko, Radnički Kragujevac i Solnok, a kapicu će definitivno odložiti u Olimpijakosu, u koji je stigao prošle sezone.

„Ovo je moja poslednja sezona. Završiću karijeru u Olimpijakosu“, otkrio je kapiten nacionalnog tima Srbije koja je osvojila sve moguće titule u ovom vodenom sportu tokom današenjg druženja sa medijima koji prate atinske crveno-bele.

„Olimpijakos uvek želi pobedu i ima najviše ciljeve. Ove godine, želimo da idemo na Fajnal ejt, a zašto ne bismo ciljali i više, možda polufinale… Moramo da sanjamo, da verujemo. Imam puno poverenje u tim jer je početak sezone drugačiji nego prošle godine. Svi zajedno se spremamo. Radimo, a kvalitet lige je porastao“, pričao je as iz Beograda i o ambicijama kluba iz prestonice Grčke.

U ostvarivanju istih najveću odgovornost preuzeo je srpski stručnjak Igor Milanović, koji je stigao posle izgubljenog finala Lige šampiona na klupi Novog Beograda.

„Svi smo uzbuđeni jer imamo novog trenera, stigli su novi mladi igrači, stvorila se nova energija. Veoma sam optimističan po pitanju sezone. Sredinom novembra imamo jak meč protiv Pro Reka kod kuće. Vredno se pripremamo za ovu utakmicu.

O Igoru Milanoviću govore dostignuća, titule koje je osvojio i masu fanova koji ga podržavaju, ne samo uz bazen već i kroz dugogodišnje kladjenje uzivo. Doneo je novu energiju. Živi svaki trening. Srećni smo što ga imamo. Teodoros Vlahos je pisao istoriju, ne samo sa Olimpijakosom, već uopšte, u grčkom vaterpolu. On je jedan od najboljih trenera koje sam imao u karijeri“, kazao je Filipović.

Mark Selby leads the billing for the afternoon session at the British Open on Friday. World No. 2 Judd Trump was the latest leading name to crash out of the event on Thursday, but Selby faces a tough task against Trump’s conqueror Mark Allen, the 2018 Masters winner. The draw is even more wide open following the early exits of Class of ’92 icons Ronnie O’Sullivan, John Higgins and Mark Williams.

RECAP: ALLEN DOWNS TRUMP IN SHOCK

Mark Allen set up a quarter-final meeting with Mark Selby at the 2022 British Open, squeezing out Judd Trump 4-3 in a tension-filled third round meeting.
A cagey encounter between two familiar foes went the distance late into the Milton Keynes evening, with neither able to consistently produce consistently accurate offensive or defensive play.
It was Trump who appeared to be clicking into gear late on, registering the only century of the match to force a decider.

But Allen, just about, held his nerve to deny Trump a chance at usurping Ronnie O’Sullivan at the top of the world rankings.
“I made it harder for myself than I needed it to be,” Allen told ITV after securing victory. “I let Judd back into the match and it looked like he might go on and win the decider like to players do but I just hung in there and made a decent 55.
“It was a tricky one. But I’m very happy to get over the line.
“Any win over Judd is a good one and I’m just lucky that he wasn’t quite at his best because apparently when he is at his best he beats me ten out of ten.”

RB Leipzig striker Christopher Nkunku has already had a Chelsea medical with a view to a move next year, while Inter Milan’s Milan Skriniar may also arrive at Stamford Bridge as his contract runs down. Elsewhere, Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves could sign for Barcelona, and Real Madrid were not Erling Haaland’s first or second choice.

NKUNKU COMPLETES CHELSEA MEDICAL

The Daily Mail reports that RB Leipzig striker Christopher Nkunku has already undergone a medical with Chelsea doctors present, in Frankfurt earlier this year. The 24-year-old has a £52.8 million release clause, which the paper does not believe can be negotiated. Chelsea sold Timo Werner back to the club this summer and the Frenchman had been seen as a potential replacement.

Chelsea has a great run of games in the next few weeks so betting live on their triumphs is a must-do.

Španski mediji javljaju da će Savić biti u startnoj postavi “kolćonerosa” za subotnji meč sa Seviljom u gostima u La Ligi

Poslije 40 dana pauze, tokom kojih je propustio šest mečeva Atletika i dva reprezentacije Crne Gore, Stefan Savić je spreman da se vrati na teren.

Španski mediji javljaju da će Savić biti u startnoj postavi “kolćonerosa” za subotnji meč sa Seviljom u gostima u La Ligi.

On je povrijedio mišić protiv Viljareala 21. avgusta.

Bez njega i Hosea Himenesa, Atletiko ima defanzivnih problema, u posljednjoj liniji igrao je vezista Vitsel.

Simeoneov tim je u tom periodu ostvario skor od dvije pobjede, po jednog poraza i remija u prvenstvu, te polovičan učinak u Ligi šampiona – pobjeda nad Portom i poraz od Bajera.

Na mečeve Atletika dostupno je kladjenje uzivo u svim MeridianBet kladionicama.

Ženska košarkaška reprezentacija Bosne i Hercegovine odigrala je posljednji susret na Mundobasketu u Australiji.

U petom kolu grupe A protivnik je bila selekcija SAD-a koja je apsolutni vladar svjetske ženske košarke, a konačan rezultat je bio 121:59 za Amerikanke.

Prva četvrtina ponudila je brzu košarku s obje strane. Naše djevojke nisu griješile toliko kao u prethodnim utakmicama, ali Amerikanke su jendostavno od samog početka pokazale zašto su svjetska sila i prvi period su dobile rezultatom 15:33.

Drugu četvrtinu otvaramo sa nekoliko grešaka, naravno Amerikanke to kažnjavaju laganim poenima. Pred kraj četvrtine i mi smo poenima Elez i Knežević napravili seriju 7:0, ali i to Amerikanke brzo prekidaju i odlaze na 51:24, do kraja poluvremena još nekoliko lijepih akcija naših protivnica za 31:63 što je bio rezultat prvog poluvremena.

Treću četvrtinu smo otvorili sa nekoliko lijepih akcija i poena Knežević i Elez, trojku je ubacila i Jones, međutim za brzu u efektnu igru Amerikanki nije bilo odbrane. I u trećem periodu Amerikanke su povećavale svoju prednost i na kraju pomeute četvrtine rezultat je glasio 44:92.

Naše djevojke su tako historijski nastup na Mundobasketu završile sa pet ubjedljivih poraza, iako nas je FIBA prije početka prvenstva smatrala sedmim favoritima, i mnogi su u to imali vjere i iskušali svoju sreću kroz online kladjenje.

Nakon povratka iz Australije treba uraditi dobru analizu dešavanja na Svjetskom prvenstvu.

Novi izazovi za našu reprezentaciju stižu već u novembru kada se nastavljaju kvalifikacije za Eurobasket, gdje smo u dobroj poziciji jer u prva dva kola imamo dva trijumfa među kojima je i pobjeda protiv Belgije.

Ο Άρης εδώ και λίγες μέρες έχει στα χέρια του μια πολύ καλή πρόταση για την παραχώρηση του Ντάνιελ Μαντσίνι σε ομάδα του Ντουμπάι.  

Ο Αργεντινός μεσοεπιθετικός που πραγματοποιεί εδώ και 1.5 χρόνο πολύ καλές εμφανίσεις έχει… πέραση στα Ηνωμένα Αραβικά Εμιράτα και δεν αποκλείεται να αποχωρήσει από τους κίτρινους.

Ο λόγος δεν είναι άλλος από το «χρυσό» συμβόλαιο που του έχει προταθεί και ξεπερνάει τα 3.000.000 ευρώ για την επόμενη τριετία, με τον Μαντσίνι να «ψήνεται» στην ιδέα να μετακομίσει στο Ντουμπάι.

Το δεδομένο πάντως είναι ότι τον πρώτο και τον τελευταίο λόγο τον έχει ο Άρης, ο οποίος πρόσφατα είπε «όχι» σε πρόταση της Ομόνοιας. Αν αναλογιστεί κανείς μάλιστα πως ένα 25% ανήκει στην Μπορντό, ο Καρυπίδης έχει πολύ συγκεκριμένα «θέλω» για τον Μαντσίνι και μόνο αν ικανοποιηθούν, θα ανάψει το πράσινο «φως» για την μεταγραφή του Αργεντίνου.

Οι διαπραγματεύσεις είναι σε εξέλιξη, αλλά ακόμα δεν υπάρχει ούτε οριστικό deal, μιας και υπάρχει χρονικό περιθώριο, αφού η αγορά των Η.Α.Ε. κλείνει στις 4/10. Σημαντικό ρόλο παίζει και το γεγονός ότι ο Καρυπίδης θέλει να δει τον Άρη φέτος πρωταγωνιστή και η πιθανή απώλεια του Μαντσίνι θα είναι κομβική για την επίτευξη των στόχων των κίτρινων.

Ωστόσο, αν δεν θέλετε να χάσετε τους επερχόμενους αγώνες του, ακολουθήστε σίγουρα ζωντανά αποτελέσματα.

A downcast Andy Murray admitted he does not know how many more Davis Cup chances he has left after Britain crashed out of the competition with defeat by the Netherlands in Glasgow.

A loss to the USA on Wednesday had left Britain needing to beat the Dutch and probably Kazakhstan as well, but Sunday’s contest at the Emirates Arena will now be a meaningless match after Murray and Joe Salisbury again came out on the wrong side of a dramatic deciding doubles rubber.

Murray and Salisbury saved a match point in the second set against Wesley Koolhof and Matwe Middelkoop to keep their hopes alive, but the Scot then netted a return on a break point at 3-3 in the deciding set and the British pair lost the last 10 points in a 7-6 (0) 6-7 (6) 6-3 defeat. Also defeated were the fans that placed their bets while betting live on the UK team.

El club decidió poner a la venta 20 mil entradas más para el choque de este sábado ante Grau, por el Torneo Clausura de Liga 1.

Luego de sus tres victorias consecutivas, Universitario de Deportes se ha metido a la pelea por ser campeón del Torbeo Clausura de Liga 1. Una nueva prueba se le presentará este sábado 17 de septiembre al equipo crema. Cuando se mida con Atlético Grau, en el Estadio Monumental.

¡No lo dudes, apoya al equipo y apuestas por ellos!

Con miras a ese compromiso, el cuadro merengue puso a la venta 30 mil entradas, las mismas que fueron comprando los hinchas poco a poco. Y este jueves, cerca de llegar a esa cifra de boletos vendidos, la ‘U’ anunció que amplió a 50 mil el aforo del recinto ubicado en Ate.

“¡Hagamos un lleno Monumental! Estamos por llegar a los 30 000 hinchas en casa, Por eso, aumentamos el aforo a 50 mil espectadores. ¡Este partido lo jugamos todos!”, fue el mensaje de Universitario en sus cuentas de redes sociales.

Universitario, que derrotó Ayacucho FC, Alianza Lima y Sport Boys en sus últimas tres presentaciones, marcha en el cuarto puesto del Clausura, con veinte puntos, a cuatro del segundo Atlético Grau y también a cuatro del líder Sporting Cristal.

“Estamos en un ambiente muy lindo después de ganar tres partidos seguidos, pero siempre con la mentalidad que lo que pasó ya pasó y seguir trabajando día a día para el partido que viene”, señaló el uruguayo Hernán Novick, a dos días del duelo.

Alexander Isak’s second-half penalty salvaged a point for Newcastle but Eddie Howe’s men are still searching for their first Premier League win since the opening day of the season after they were held by Bournemouth at St James’s Park.

Howe’s first game as manager against the club he coached from the depths of League Two to the top flight threatened to turn into one to forget when Philip Billing put the Cherries in front just beyond the hour mark.

But the Magpies were granted a lifeline three minutes later when a VAR check highlighted a handball in the box by Jefferson Lerma, enabling Isak to step up and sweep home his second goal of the season from the spot. This goal skyrocketed the odds on football betting that day!

Nevertheless, it proved another frustrating afternoon for the home side who, for all their early-season promise, can now boast a single win in seven and continue to struggle to turn their territorial possession into clear-cut chances.

Despite Isak’s coolly-taken spot-kick three minutes later, the visitors continued to play with more freedom.

Newcastle pressed but remained blunt up front, substitute Jacob Murphy appealing in vain for a second spot-kick when his drive from the edge of the box appeared to strike Billing on the shoulder.

Six minutes of added time saw more of the same as the Bournemouth rearguard dealt competently with all the hosts could throw at them, sealing another encouraging afternoon for their caretaker-boss Gary O’Neil.
