  • “The World's Best Indoor Tournament”
    newsroom Sport Apr 22, 2020 “The world’s best indoor tournament” The move from Filderstadt to Stuttgart in 2006 marked the beginning of a new era for the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. Since then, spectators in the Porsche Arena have been able to watch all the game’s top stars live plus exciting and hard-fought matches – initially on a hard court and then on clay from 2009. We will take a look back at the highlights. 1 - 2008: The Williams sisters – family gathering in the Porsche Arena Serena and Venus Williams’ first joint visit to the Porsche Arena. Tennis fans are over the moon. Serena is the hot favourite and the No. 1 seed – and promptly starts her campaign as expected. In her opening match against Na Li, she kicks in the turbo to win the first set to love. Totally unperturbed, the Chinese sticks to her task with Asian implacability. She wins the second 6-1 and runs out a 6-4 winner in the third. What a rude awakening for the great Serena Williams. Family honour was saved by sister Venus who at least reached the semi-final where she lost to the eventual winner Jelena Jankovic. Honorary guest Larry Scott, CEO and Chairman of the WTA, is thrilled by what he has seen in Stuttgart: “The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix is the world’s best indoor tournament.” Page 1 of 7 2008: The Williams sisters (Serena l., Venus r.) together for the first time at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix 2 - 2010: Justine Henin wins with a wild card It had never happened before at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix – Justin Henin is the first player to win the tournament with a wild card.

These events, presented as a “Salute to Ukraine,” were also an occasion to honor the courage of the people of Ukraine in their ongoing, heroic defense of both personal dignity and their nation’s independence. The “Salute to Ukraine” events were held first at the University Club of Chicago on September 14, and then on September 16 at a reception in Washington in the Caucus Room of the Cannon House Office Building of the U.S. Vadym Gyliuk Congress.

Email: [email protected] 2 Department of Computing, Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus, SW7 2AZ, United Kingdom. Email: {wjk,ds406}@doc.ic.ac.uk Abstract. We explore the relationship between official rankings of pro- fessional tennis players and rankings computed using a variant of the PageRank algorithm as proposed by Radicchi in 2011. We show Radic- chi’s equations follow a natural interpretation of the PageRank algorithm and present up-to-date comparisons of official rankings with PageRank- based rankings for both the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tours. For top-ranked players these two rankings are broadly in line; however, there is wide variation in the tail which leads us to question the degree to which the official ranking mechanism reflects true player ability. For a 390-day sample of recent tennis matches, PageRank-based rankings are found to be better predictors of match outcome than the official rankings. 1 Introduction The rankings of the world’s top tennis players are the subject of much global popular interest.

Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde La número uno del tenis latinoamericano, la argentina Gisela Dulko, se incluyó en la tercera fase del Abierto de Australia, al vencer este jueves en tres sets a la serbia Ana Ivanovic, destaca Prensa Latina. En un peleado partido de constantes altas y bajas, la suramericana fue un poco más estable se agenció la victoria con tanteadores de 6-7 (6/8), 7-5 y 6-4, en dos horas y 43 minutos de acción. Dulko se recuperó de la caída en el primer parcial y remontó la pizarra frente a la ex líder del ranking mundial, quien continúa muy alejada del nivel que la llevó a esa posición. La bonaerense, única jugadora de América Latina que continúa con vida, se medirá en su próxima presentación a la rusa Vera Zvonareva, novena preclasificada. Además de Zvonareva, este jueves ganaron las hermanas estadounidenses Serena (uno) y Venus Williams (seis), la danesa Carolina Wozniacki (cuatro), la belarusa Victoria Azarenka (siete) y la polaca Agnieszka Radwanska (10).
