COUVERCELLE CHAMPIONNATS DE FRANCE 2020 TALENCE, ACTE II Pour la deuxième année consécutive, Talence accueillera les finales messieurs et dames des championnats de France par équipes Pro A 2020, qui se dérouleront pour la première fois le même jour, soit le samedi 7 décembre 2019. Chez les dames, comme l’an passé, le TC Paris sera opposé à l’ASPTT Metz, tandis que chez les messieurs, le TC Quimperlé affrontera Villa Primrose. Ces deux affiches s’annoncent particulièrement ouvertes. Chez les dames, le TC Paris, tenant du titre, tentera de décrocher un septième titre dans cette compétition (après 1988, 1989, 1990, 2015, 2017 et 2019). Le club de la capitale, emmené par Pauline Parmentier et Tatjana Maria, a assuré sa qualification pour la finale en s’imposant à domicile face au TC Saint-Dié lors de la dernière journée. L'ASPTT Metz, vainqueur du premier titre de son histoire il y a 2 ans (2018), aura à cœur de prendre sa revanche sur le TC Paris qui l'avait battu en finale, l'an passé. Le club de la ligue du Grand-Est, qui compte dans ses rangs notamment la Belge Ysaline Bonaventure et la Russe Ekaterina Alexandrova, affiche le plein de confiance après avoir réalisé un sans-faute en phase de poules avec 4 victoires en 4 matchs.

The Argentine is 5-16 against Federer with all five wins on hard courts, none more meaningful than when he rallied from a set-and-a-break down to deny Federer a sixth straight US Open title. Del Potro can prevent history from being made again as Federer and Rafael Nadal are one win from meeting for the first time at the US Open. The Swiss and Spaniard have been this close six times now, including in 2009, when del Potro defeated Nadal 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-finals before beating Federer in the final. • Nadal’s quarter-final opponent on Wednesday is #NextGenATP player Andrey Rublev. The 19-year-old Russian is the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since Andy Roddick in 2001. Rublev would be the youngest semi-finalist at the US Open since Lleyton Hewitt in 2000 and at any Grand Slam event since Nadal at 2005 Roland Garros. A teenager has never defeated a World No.

  • Zenith Joins Patrick Mouratoglou As the Official Timekeeper of Uts Season 2
    ZENITH JOINS PATRICK MOURATOGLOU AS THE OFFICIAL TIMEKEEPER OF UTS SEASON 2 May 24 marked the start of the second season of UTS (Ultimate Tennis Showdown), a new tennis league created by Zenith Friend of the Brand Patrick Mouratoglou. A supporter and partner since its first edition in 2020, Zenith is proud to take on the role of “Official Timekeeper” for this innovative, intense and spectacular showdown of rising tennis stars. In a bid to bring tennis to a younger and wider audience, UTS breaks away from the conventional format and rules of tennis tournaments with a lighter code of conduct and emphasis on entertainment. Here, players can bring out their personalities on the court like never before. Taking place at the Mouratoglou Academy in the French Rivera, on clay courts, UTS4 – the first event of the second season – saw ATP-ranked players Diego Schwartzman, Grigor Dimitrov, Cristian Garin, Alexander Bublik, Daniil Medvedev, Fabio Fognini, Taylor Fritz and Corentin Moutet battle it out on the court in a fun and dynamic series of matches over two days. On Tuesday May 26th, Corentin Moutet “The Tornado” lifted the fourth UTS lightning bolt trophy, defeating Taylor Fritz “The Hotshot” 3-1 in the final. The lowest-ranked player at UTS4, the Frenchman showed that mastering the format is key at UTS. Undefeated, Moutet breezed past Fritz, Fognini, Garin, and World No. 2 Medvedev to win his first UTS title. “The Tornado” was the most experienced player of the field, competing in the league for the third time. After falling short in the UTS2 semifinal, Moutet had revenge on his mind at UTS4.
