The mental and physical tolls of the tennis season weigh on players by the US Open

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:23:47 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Novak Djokovic considers his mental state just as important as his physical condition when it comes to being prepared to play his best at age 36.“Mentally there is probably a lot more that I’m dealing with in my private life than was the case 10 years ago. But that’s the beauty of life. Things are evolving, moving on,” said Djokovic, who will try to take another step toward what would be a 24th Grand Slam title when he faces Ben Shelton in the U.S. Open semifinals Friday.“I just feel that there is always, I guess, an extra gear that you have inside of you and you can find when you dig deep to handle and manage energy levels, on and off the court,” Djokovic said, “if you’re really devoted to that and if you care about it, if you pay attention to that mental aspect as much as physical, of course.”By the time players arrive at Flushing Meadows for the last major tournament of a long season — one that began in late December and will carry on into November — the ailments ...

Cristiano Ronaldo dice que su larga “rivalidad” con Lionel Messi terminó

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:23:47 GMT

(CNN) — ¿Cristiano Ronaldo o Lionel Messi? Ese el debate que ha mantenido entretenidos a los entusiastas del fútbol durante más de una década. Mientras que algunos se contentan con apreciar a ambos jugadores, otros se sientan firmemente de un lado o del otro del debate.No obstante, según el propio Ronaldo, la “rivalidad” entre ambos desapareció desde que cambiaron los clubes europeos por nuevos pastos: Ronaldo se mudó al Al-Nassr en Arabia Saudita y Messi al Inter Miami en Estados Unidos.“Yo no veo las cosas así, la rivalidad se acabó. Estuvo bien, a los seguidores les gustó. Quienes aman a Cristiano Ronaldo no tienen por qué odiar a Messi. Ambos son muy buenos, cambiaron la historia del fútbol”, dijo Ronaldo, de 38 años, a periodistas mientras se preparaba para jugar las eliminatorias de la Eurocopa con Portugal.Ronaldo y Messi pasaron el apogeo de sus carreras jugando en España para el Real Madrid y el FC Barcelona respectivamente, lo que ayudó a aumentar la rivalidad entre ...

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Hurricanes gave themselves a short window to celebrate a dominant 38-3 win over Miami (Ohio) in their season opener.

Bayern refutes accusations of ‘sportswashing’ after replacing Qatar deal with Rwanda sponsorship

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:23:47 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — First Qatar, now Rwanda.Bayern Munich’s contentious sponsorship deals are leaving the club open to accusations of “sportswashing” and alienating many of its fans.Last month, the Bavarian powerhouse announced a new five-year partnership with Rwanda to develop soccer and boost tourism in the east African country. It replaced its previous sponsorship deal with Qatar, which had led to fan protests at games and unruly scenes at the club’s annual general meeting in 2021, when angry members booed club directors for refusing to discuss the arrangements.Bayern’s deal with Qatar Airways expired in June and was not renewed, reportedly because Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, faulted the club for not doing more to distance itself from the protests.Both Qatar and Rwanda have been accused of human rights abuses, but Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen denies the club is facilitating sportswashing to deflect attention from the alleged abuses.“I don’t see what we’re doing i...
