Adelaide, Jan 13 (Ians) South Korea’s Soonwoo Kwon delivered a high-quality display of baseline hitting on Friday at the Adelaide International 2 to clinch a spot in the championship match with a 7-6(6), 6-7(2), 6-3 semifinal victory against Britain’s Jack Draper, here.
Kwon awaits home favourite and 2022 Adelaide International 2 champion Thanasi Kokkinakis or fourth seed Roberto Bautista Agut in Saturday’s championship match.
Aiming to add to the title he collected in Astana in 2021, Kwon entered the Adelaide International 2 main draw as a lucky loser and has capitalised superbly. After victory over Tomas Machac in the first round, the South Korean defeated Pablo Carreno Busta and Mikael Ymer to reach the final four.
Against Draper, the South Korean showcased his full array of dazzling shot-making. Kwon closed out the opening set tiebreak with probably the shot of the tournament, launching a thunderous forehand past the outstretched Brit.

Sydney, Jan 1 (Ians) Despite falling to defeat against Cameron Norrie on Saturday, Spain tennis legend Rafael Nadal is enjoying the team atmosphere at the United Cup as he looks to take the positives from his opening performance of the season at the United Cup.
The World No 2, who won the first set in Sydney, was competing for the first time since November, when he played at the Atp Finals in Turin. He eventually fell to Norrie 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday.
“It was not a disaster at all. I can do things better, and I need to do it. But as I said, I have not had many matches. I think he played the first match two days ago. I think that’s an advantage, especially if you win the match the way that he did,” Nadal said.

The 19-year-old Spaniard looked in control throughout the one-hour, 38-minute clash at the Atp 500 event, opening his shoulders to hit through his countryman on the indoor courts.
Alcaraz overpowered Carreno Busta during the backhand exchanges and showed good touch around the net to efficiently win points and triumph.
“It is difficult to play against a friend like Pablo. Every day we go and have dinner, and lunch together. Every week we train together, so it is difficult to play against him. I also support him and want him to win every match,” Alcaraz said in his on-court interview.

Basel (Switzerland), Oct 25 (Ians) With his back against the wall, the former World No.1 Andy Murray rallied past Roman Safiullin 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-4 to reach the second round at the Swiss Indoors, here on Tuesday.
In a hard-fought clash, Murray showcased an abundance of grit as he rallied from 1-4 in the third set to eventually triumph after two hours and 37 minutes at the Atp 500 event.
“He was serving huge and any opportunity he was hitting the ball huge from the back of the court. As the match went on, I started to dictate a few more points and served better,” Murray said.
“I changed the way I was returning a little bit and when I did that I was able to create a few more opportunities and frustrate him a little bit,” he added.
The Scot was pushed from side to side against the big-hitting qualifier for large periods of the clash.

New York, Aug 30 (Ians) Daniil Medvedev says he is not feeling the “extra pressure” of being the defending US Open champion after easing to a 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 victory over Stefan Kozlov of the US in the first round.
The Russian won the first grand slam title of his career last year when he defeated Novak Djokovic at Flushing Meadows, and started his defence in dominant fashion on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday, reports Dpa. The world number one broke American outsider Kozlov eight times in a one-sided encounter in New York, in which he struck 37 winners and committed 19 unforced errors.
Top seed Medvedev does not feel burdened by being the man who won the final major of the year in 2021.
“(There is) a little bit (of) extra pressure (in being the defending champion),” he stated, “But mostly, I don’t feel it, to be honest. Probably the only pressure...

Montreal, Aug 15 (Ians) Casper Ruud’s standout 2022 continued with a semifinal run in Montreal that saw the Norwegian move into the top 5 in the Atp rankings, released on Monday.
It was Pablo Carreno Busta who lifted the trophy at the National Bank Open and the Spaniard’s maiden Atp Masters 1000 crown, powered him back into the top 20.
Ruud’s run to his first semifinal at the Canadian Masters 1000 event featured contrasting wins against Roberto Bautista Agut and Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Hubert Hurkacz proved too strong in the semifinals, but Ruud rose two spots to No. 5 in the Atp Rankings.

Montreal, Aug 15 (Ians) Pablo Carreno-Busta of Spain came back from a set down to mount a superb comeback against Hubert Hurkacz of Poland and win the first Atp 1000 event of his career on Monday (Ist).
The Spaniard became the first unseeded player to win the tournament since Guilhermo Canas in 2002 after weathering an early storm to shock the eighth seed 3-6 6-3 6-3 in Montreal, reports Dpa.
Having come through a gruelling semi-final encounter with Dan Evans to reach his first Atp 1000 final in singles, the Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist struggled to deal with his opponent’s impressive slew of aces in the first set, and saw his serve broken in the sixth game.
But a ruthless start to the second set saw Carreno-Busta break early, racing out to a 3-0 lead and holding his nerve to keep the gap to his Polish opponent, who was chasing a second Atp 1000 crown.

Montreal (Canada), Aug 14 (Ians) Pablo Carreno Busta reached his first Atp Masters 1000 and National Bank Open final after registering a 7-5, 6-7(7), 6-2 victory over Daniel Evans in the semifinal, here.
The 31-year-old had a match point in the second-set tie-break but saw his perfect set streak on the week snapped at nine before storming back in a dominant final set on Saturday night.
After so little separated the competitors for most of the two-hour, 58-minute marathon, Carreno Busta raced through the finish line by winning the final 12 points, including eight on return.
“It was fun for the crowd but for me it was tough. I had a match point in the second set but he served pretty good so I couldn’t do anything. When you have a match point and have to play another set, it’s always hard to do it,” said Carreno Busta about the gripping encounter.

Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic needs to take his own advice, apparently. Less than a week after sharing how easy it is for him to keep his cool, he did the exact opposite following a loss at the Tokyo Olympics.
Djokovic suffered his third match in two days on Saturday, losing the bronze medal to Spain’s Pablo Carreño Busta. After missing the deciding volley, he smashed his racket against the post, which he received a verbal warning for. Watch it here.
In a previous match against the Spaniard, Djokovic flung his racket into the empty stands after being failing to return a volley.
The four-time Grand Slam winner’s conduct is ironic given some statements he made about taking the heat in professional sports just a few days prior.
