Cirstea, though, isn’t going away, making 0-30, then at 15-30 Andreeva comes in and stretches for a putaway, sending it wide. And though she saves the first break point with a backhand winner, she then nets a forehand and that’s the break back for 0-6 3-3. In comms, Chrissy points out that a dip was always likely because it’s not possible to play as well as Andreeva was for an entire match, and that’s true – though, at the same time, it’s impossible not to think about how ridiculously Sabalenka performed last evening, against a far superior opponent, and wonder if that’s what it’ll take to challenge the world no 1.

Andreeva’s ability to explode from the off is extremely impressive, a statement that tells Cirstea – and the rest of the field – that she’s ready, the serious stuff beginning now. Only the best can do that, cycling through the gears at will, and she holds easily then, from 15-all, plays a gorgeous half-volley that has Conchita Martinez, her coach, almost eating her own face in delighted smiles, then two definitive groundstrokes secure the break as if she’d simply decided it was time. This is very impressive behaviour, perhaps the most commanding i’ve ever seen her at this stage of a slam, and she leads 6-0 3-2. cricket-ipl.in

El 6 de junio de 2010, un menudo chaval llamado Marc Márquez ganaba su primera carrera en el Mundial, en 125cc, en Mugello. A su lado estaba Emilio Alzamora, que le llevó a la élite. El 31 de mayo de 2026, el que fuera campeón de 125cc en 1999 también estaba al lado de otro chico, más espigado, que se estrenó en el trazado de la Toscana: Brian Uriarte. Como el de Cervera, este cántabro igualmente está llamado a escribir muchas páginas de oro del motociclismo mundial.
