Featured Men's Doubles Semi-Finals 2017 US OPEN Flushing, New York, USA | August 28-September 10, 2017 Draw Size: S-128, D-64 | $50.4 million | Hard www.usopen.org DAY 11 MEDIA NOTES | Thursday, September 7, 2017 FEATURED MEN’S DOUBLES SEMI-FINALS GRANDSTAND [1] Henri Kontinen/John Peers vs. [12] Jean-Julien Rojer/Horia Tecau Kontinen/Peers Leads 2-1 [11] Feliciano Lopez/Marc Lopez vs. [5] Bob Bryan/Mike Bryan Lopez/Lopez Leads 2-1 DAY 11 HIGHLIGHTS • The spotlight turns to doubles at the US Open on Thursday with four former Grand Slam champions in the semi- finals. Five-time US Open champions Bob and Mike Bryan are back in the ‘Final Four,’ where they will meet Feliciano and Marc Lopez in a rematch of the 2016 US Open quarter-finals. The Spaniards (unrelated) defeated the American twins in that match and the 2016 Roland Garros final, but lost to them on August 16 at Cincinnati. • Mike Bryan broke a tie with Daniel Nestor on Tuesday and became the winningest doubles player of the Open Era with his 1,052nd victory. Mike owns 14 more wins than Bob because he earned two Davis Cup victories with Mardy Fish and 13 victories with other partners while Bob played singles qualifying at the Grand Slams in 2002. Bob owns one Davis Cup win with John Isner. The Bryans have played in 23 straight US Opens (1995-Present) and 75 straight Grand Slams overall (1999 Roland Garros-Present). The No. 5 seeds have not won a Grand Slam title since the 2014 US Open, their longest drought since capturing their first of 16 majors at 2003 Roland Garros. Individually, the Bryans are trying to tie John Newcombe for the most Grand Slam men’s doubles titles with 17. • World No. 1 Henri Kontinen and No. 2 John Peers, who beat the Bryans in the 2017 Australian Open final, meet 2015 Wimbledon champions Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau in the other men’s doubles semi-final. Rojer/Tecau and Kontinen/Peers went 5-0 en route to titles at the Nitto ATP Finals in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Like Lopez and Lopez, Kontinen and Peers have not dropped a set thus far at the US Open. The Finn and Aussie can rise to No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Doubles Race to London, which serves as team rankings, by winning the US Open title. Rojer and Tecau have won 16 of 17 sets since August 21, capturing their 15th title at Winston-Salem.

  • Dimitrov, Cilic Qualify for Nitto Atp Finals
    24 October 2017 DIMITROV, CILIC QUALIFY FOR NITTO ATP FINALS LONDON – Grigor Dimitrov and Marin Cilic have both secured their places at the Nitto ATP Finals, to be held from 12-19 November at The O2 in London. They will join World No. 1 Rafael Nadal, six-time champion Roger Federer, 20-year-old debutant Alexander Zverev and two-time qualifier Dominic Thiem in the elite eight-man field. Dimitrov, the first Bulgarian to qualify for the prestigious season-ending tournament, and Cilic, who previously qualified in 2014 and 2016, clinched their berths today after fellow contender Sam Querrey lost in the first round of the Erste Bank Open 500 in Vienna. In compiling the best season of his career, Dimitrov won his biggest title in August when he claimed his first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati (d. Kyrgios). The Bulgarian also put together a 16-1 record en route to the Australian Open semi-finals (l. to Nadal) and a pair of ATP World Tour 250 titles. He defeated three Top 10 players — Dominic Thiem, Milos Raonic and Kei Nishikori — in the final three rounds of the Brisbane International presented by Suncorp. On home soil at the Garanti Koza Sofia Open, the 26-year-old lifted the trophy with victory over David Goffin in the final. Last week, he finished as runner-up to Juan Martin del Potro at the Intrum Stockholm Open. Cilic claimed the ATP World Tour 250 crown at the TEB BNP Paribas Istanbul Open (d. Raonic) in April, and also reached two finals in London — one at Wimbledon (l.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.

  • Sports India and World
    SPORTS INDIA AND WORLD World Cup Cricket History The idea of organising a World Cup of cricket was mooted and agreed to in principle in 1971 when such a proposal was discussed at a meeting of the International Cricket Conference in London. However, due to various commitments the tournaments could not be staged until 1975 when the original plan of a South African team's visit to England fell through following opposition to the country's racial policy. England's Prudential Assurance Company came forward with sponsorship and for three consecutive years - 1975, 1979 and 1983, the one-day limited overs cricket tournament was held in England. It became famous as the Prudential Cup. In the first two tournaments, apart from the six full members of the International Cricket Conference (England, Australia, West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan), Sri Lanka, before being elevated to Test status in 1981, had joined East Africa in 1975 and Canada in 1979 (two top teams among the associate members) to complete the groups in the tournaments proper. The West Indies, under Clive Lloyd, not only won the first two tournaments in 1975 and 1979 but in true Calypso style they produced sparkling cricket and confirmed their unassailable supremacy in this game. India broke the West Indian stranglehold in 1983 to open a new chapter in the brief annals of this prestigious tournament.
