It was so diff icult to be under control’ Doha shares best ATP 250 event award with St Petersburg Doha, host of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open, has joined St Petersburg, Indian Wells and Queen’s as the top four tournaments on the ATP Tour in 2015. Doha and St Petersburg are the two new- comers to the 250 series list, according to a list announced by the ATP in the 2015 ATP World Tour Awards. The awards are announced in respective tournament categories. The Tournament of the Year awards, voted annually by ATP players, recognise the leading standards set across the three tournament categories on the Tour. Indian Wells repeats at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 level, while The Queen’s Club in London wins in its first year as a 500 tournament. In the 250 category, first-time winners Doha and St. Petersburg share honours. Chris Kermode, ATP executive chairman and president, said: “Many congratulations to these four tournaments for setting the standard in their respective categories in 2015. They are each outstanding events in their own right, and this is a fitting recogni- tion, as voted by the players, for all the World number one Novak Djokovic plays a return against Leonardo Mayer of Argentina yesterday. hard work and dedication that goes into putting on these world class tournaments.” fi rst time the Russian had taken a set he played tonight was really amaz- in the semi-fi nals today.

  • Barcelona Beats Espanyol in Brutal Copa Cup Match
    Sports FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 2016 Everton beats Man City in 1st leg of FA cup semi LIVERPOOL: A Merseyside derby in the English League Cup final was closer to reality after Everton beat Manchester City 2-1 in the first leg of their semifinal on Wednesday, with in-form Romelu Lukaku grabbing the winner. Lukaku scored his 19th goal of the season when he headed home late at Goodison Park, giving Everton a deserved lead to take to City for the second leg on Jan. 27. Liverpool, Everton’s close neighbor and biggest rival, leads Stoke 1-0 after the first leg of the other semifinal. The Merseyside clubs met in the 1984 final, which Liverpool won, during a period in which they were the dominant teams in the country. There are still 90 minutes to go in both matchups - the second legs are in three weeks - but Everton manager Roberto Martinez said his team will take confidence from the manner of this victory, outplaying City at times. Ramiro Funes Mori put Everton ahead in first-half injury time, steering home a rebound from close range after Ross Barkley’s shot was parried out, and the hosts were pressing for a second goal - perhaps over-zealously - when City equalized on a counterattack in the 76th. Sergio Aguero controlled a long clearance forward and had only two defenders in front of him on the halfway line. The striker laid in a perfectly weighted pass for substitute Jesus Navas, who had sprinted upfield in support and met the ball with a first-time diagonal shot past goalkeeper Joel Robles.

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.

On that day in 2015, the top seed was upset by 6-foot-11 Ivo Karlovic. Undeterred, Djokovic has reached the final in all 15 tournaments that he has played thereafter, the longest finals streak since Roger Federer appeared in 17 straight from to June 2005 to August 2006. Djokovic would inch within one of Federer’s mark with a win over No. 8 seed Leonardo Mayer on Thursday and another in the semi-finals on Friday. Like Djokovic, Rafael Nadal was eliminated early at the 2015 Qatar ExxonMobil Open, suffering a first-round loss to qualifier Michael Berrer. Unlike Djokovic, Nadal is looking to end – not extend – a streak this week. The No. 2 seed has gone 18 hard-court tournaments since winning his last title on the surface, which came at Doha in 2014. In Thursday’s quarter-finals, Nadal faces 79th-ranked Andrey Kuznetsov, whom he defeated in straight sets at Roland Garros last May.
