Millennium Estoril Open: DAY 4 MEDIA NOTES Thursday, April 28, 2016 Clube de Ténis do Estoril, Estoril, Portugal | April 25-May 1, 2016 Draw: S-28, D-16 | Prize Money: €463,520 | Surface: Clay ATP Info: Tournament Info: ATP PR & Marketing: www.ATPWorldTour.com www.MillenniumEstorilOpen.com Edward La Cava: [email protected] @ATPWorldTour @EstorilOpen Press Room: +351 21 284 1816 facebook.com/ATPWorldTour facebook.com/MillenniumEstorilOpen TOP SEED SIMON, NO. 4 SOUSA, NO. 7 MAYER ATTEMPT TO REACH QUARTERS DAY 4 PREVIEW: Second round action concludes on Thursday at the Millennium Estoril Open as top seed Gilles Simon, No. 4 seed and Portugal’s top player Joao Sousa and No. 7 seed Leonardo Mayer attempt to reach the quarter-finals. In the first match on Estadio Millennium, Japanese No. 2 Taro Daniel looks for his first win against Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta, who has won five previous Futures meetings and one Challenger match, all in Spain between 2010-14. Daniel is attempting to reach his second career ATP World Tour quarter- final, the first since Vina del Mar in February 2014 as a qualifier. Carreno Busta is trying to advance to his fourth ATP World Tour clay court quarter-final of the season. In February, he reached his maiden ATP World Tour final in Sao Paulo (l. to Cuevas). In the second match on, another Spaniard, Nicolas Almagro, squares off with Sousa for the first time. Almagro is trying to even his match record this season (8-9) and advance to his second quarter-final of the year. In February, he was runner-up in Buenos Aires (l. to Thiem). Sousa comes in ranked No. 34, just one spot off his career-high set on Nov. 9 last year. The 27-year-old Portuguese native is looking to advance to his first quarter-final of the season. He has an overall match record of 5-12 (1-3 on clay). In the third match on, Simon and countryman Paul-Henri Mathieu meet for the fifth time. Mathieu has won three of the previous four meetings, including their only clay match in the 2R at Roland Garros in 2007. Simon, one of five Frenchmen in the Top 25 Emirates ATP Rankings at No. 18, comes in with an 11-8 match record on the season (3-1 on clay). His best result is the quarter-finals at ATP Masters 1000 Miami (l. to Goffin). Mathieu is aiming to reach his third ATP World Tour quarter-final of the season, the second this month after a quarter-final showing in Marrakech. The 34-year-old Frenchman is 8-7 this season (3-3 on clay). In the final match on, Mayer and Lorenzi meet for the first time on the ATP World Tour although they met twice in South American clay court Challenger finals in 2012 with each player winning once. Lorenzi won the Medellin, Colombia title in three sets before Mayer avenged the loss the following week in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Mayer is attempting to reach his second ATP World Tour quarter-final of the season, the first since the opening week in Doha. Lorenzi is eyeing his fourth quarter-final of the year, the second in as many weeks (Bucharest). The 34-year-old Italian has a 12-7 record on clay this season.

Beginning the day's matches are wild card and No. 2 seed Roberto Bautista Agut, who takes on Britain's Aljaz Bedene. The No. 77 Bedene leads their head-to-head 2-1, but the last contest this season in Miami went to the World No. 17 Bautista Agut. Both men are looking to match their best result here at Winston-Salem. Following on Center Court is No. 6 seed Sam Querrey, who has reached the semi-finals here in three out of four attempts. He takes on Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, who has also had success here in the past, reaching the quarter-finals in 2014. The two have met on the courts of Wake Forest twice in their career history, in the second round in 2013 and in the quarter-finals in 2014. Both matches fell in Querrey's favor, though Garcia-Lopez pushed the American to three sets in his quarter-final loss.

    Game, Set, Watched: Governance, Social Control and Surveillance in Professional Tennis

    GAME, SET, WATCHED: GOVERNANCE, SOCIAL CONTROL AND SURVEILLANCE IN PROFESSIONAL TENNIS By Marie-Pier Guay A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada November, 2013 Copyright © Marie-Pier Guay, 2013 Abstract Contrary to many major sporting leagues such as the NHL, NFL, NBA, and MLB, or the Olympic Games as a whole, the professional tennis industry has not been individually scrutinized in terms of governance, social control, and surveillance practices. This thesis presents an in-depth account of the major governing bodies of the professional tennis circuit with the aim of examining how they govern, control, constrain, and practice surveillance on tennis athletes and their bodies. Foucault’s major theoretical concepts of disciplinary power, governmentality, and bio-power are found relevant today and can be enhanced by Rose’s ethico-politics model and Haggerty and Ericson’s surveillant assemblage. However, it is also shown how Foucault, Rose, and Haggerty and Ericson’s different accounts of “modes of governing” perpetuate sociological predicaments of professional tennis players within late capitalism. These modes of surveillance are founded on a meritocracy based on the ATP and WTA rankings systems. A player’s ranking affects how he or she is governed, surveilled, controlled, and even punished. Despite ostensibly promoting tennis athletes’ health protection and wellbeing, the systems of surveillance, governance, and control rely on a biased and capitalistically-driven meritocracy that actually jeopardizes athletes’ health and contributes to social class divisions, socio- economic inequalities, gender discrimination, and media pressure.

    2019 Roland Garros Day 3 Men's Notes

    2019 ROLAND GARROS DAY 3 MEN’S NOTES Tuesday 28 May 1st Round Featured matches No. 5 Alexander Zverev (GER) v John Millman (AUS) No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) v Nicolas Jarry (CHI) No. 9 Fabio Fognini (ITA) v Andreas Seppi (ITA) No. 10 Karen Khachanov (RUS) v Cedrik-Marcel Stebe (GER) No. 14 Gael Monfils (FRA) v Taro Daniel (JPN) No. 18 Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) v Steve Johnson (USA) No. 22 Lucas Pouille (FRA) v (Q) Simone Bolelli (ITA) (Q) Stefano Travaglia (ITA) v Adrian Mannarino (FRA) On court today… • France’s top 2 players begin their Roland Garros campaigns today, with Gael Monfils up against Taro Daniel on Court Philippe Chatrier and Lucas Pouille playing Simone Bolelli on Court Suzanne Lenglen. Both will aim to use home advantage to have a good run here this year – Monfils will look for a repeat of his 2008 performance when he reached the semifinals, while Pouille will hope to emulate the form he displayed in reaching the last 4 at the Australian Open in January to impress the home fans in Paris. • Monte Carlo champion Fabio Fognini takes on fellow Italian Andreas Seppi in the first match on Court Simonne Mathieu today. It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. The pair are tied at 4 wins apiece in their previous Tour-level match-ups, but Seppi has not beaten his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate since 2010 and will have to put in an inspired performance if he is to defeat to the No.
