CARLOS Alcaraz is the new best-ranked tennis player in the world, and the youngest to reach the top of the ATP list. Although he is a Spaniard, this young man from Murcia points out that he is most grateful for winning the US Open – that Novak Djokovic did not participate in the Grand Slam in New York.

During an interview with the “New York Times”, Alcaraz talked about both Rafa and Nolet, but as noted by other world media, such as the “Hindustan Times”, “the new world number 1 ‘buried’ Nadal, highlighting Novak in the foreground”.

Let’s first remind that Alcaraz has been the “main topic” ever since he defeated both Nadal and Djokovic at the Madrid Open, as a result of which he was declared the favorite at Roland Garros.

However, the stories about this 19-year-old died down a little before the start of the New York Grand Slam, because Nadal and Daniil Medvedev were declared the main favorites at the US Open.

However, as both were eliminated in the round of 16, the draw “opened up” for Alcaraz, who won the title and the world tennis throne with fantastic performances in the second week of the Grand Slam, in which he played three consecutive matches in five sets.

After the title at the US Open, he pointed out that he was very grateful to the fact that Novak Djokovic, who, due to not having been vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 type of coronavirus, was not allowed to play in this tournament.

You see, I want to deny myself nothing of what I deserved, but… the fact is that there was a period when Rafa, Djokovic and Federer were on the court at the same time. I was incredibly lucky, or whatever you call it, that Djokovic couldn’t play now. Everyone had their reasons, but this is the reality – Alcaraz pointed out.

He added the following:

– Novak Djokovic was not able to play for quite a large part of this season, Rafa also played, but he was not able to play the entire season either. I’m here all the time, I’ve played amazing matches, amazing tournaments and I’ve worked really hard to make these things happen to me.

Both Nadal and Djokovic congratulated the 19-year-old on his historic Grand Slam title.

During the podcast, Dale Jr explained that Chastain, who was set to appear on the show initially, canceled at the last minute due to some issue, which Junior chose not to elaborate on. He clarified that Chastain’s cancellation had nothing to do with his sub-par performance in the race. Junior and Davis playfully lamented the absence of Chastain from the race’s controversies, expressing their desire for him to be “in the middle of something.” They emphasized their eagerness to have Chastain on the show despite his lack of involvement in the dramatic events of the Coca-Cola 600.

Dale Jr further expressed his disappointment and added, “The one race with all the drama, 600 miles, and all kinds of crap coming home, and Ross is not involved in any of it. I was sitting there watching the 600 and I’m like, ‘Come on Ross, get in the middle of something.‘”

Davis supplemented with wonder, “It was weird, there were wrecks, there was controversy, there was even Almirola pushing Bubba Wallace. Ross was in the middle of none of it! […] And I don’t know what to do about that, Ross is always in the middle of it!”

The Crackhouse Racing Team’s star driver, who has gained notoriety for his on-track incidents and occasional off-track shenanigans, experienced a poor performance at the Charlotte Motor Speedway as he finished 22nd. However, despite this mediocre finish, Chastain continues to lead the points table, just one point ahead of Blaney.

While Ross Chastain’s absence from the drama disappointed Dale Earnhardt Jr, fans of the sport were treated to an exhilarating race filled with intense moments and unexpected crashes.

The Coca-Cola 600 saw a significantly high number of wrecks—16 in all. This led to caution being called for 83 laps, including those in the final stage. Ryan Blaney held on to the lead for the last 20 laps, eventually winning by a margin of .663 seconds over Blaney, with Martin Truex Jr, Bubba Wallace, and Tyler Reddick following them.

Lakers could end up with ‘giant headache’ if LeBron James gets his wish

Lakers could end up with ‘giant headache’ if LeBron James gets his wish

Potential L.A. Lakers signing Kyrie Irving is one of the best players in the NBA, but he is also a giant headache, writer Mark Medina has told GiveMeSport.

ARTICLE CONTINUE AFTER THE ADVERTISEMENT..... SCROLL DOWN

Irving was drafted first overall in 2011 by the Cleveland Cavaliers and really started to take over in his third season. After LeBron James came back to Cleveland, James and Irving led the Cavs to an NBA title in 2016. Yet, following that, everything started to go downhill.

In July 2017, Irving requested a trade from Cleveland and a month later joined the Boston Celtics. He then left Boston in the summer of 2019 to sign with the Brooklyn Nets. Yet, after dealing with injuries and sitting out games, he once again asked for a trade and was dealt to the Dallas Mavericks.

He’s headed for free agency in July and reports have claimed that James is pushing for the Lakers to sign Irving and re-ignite their partnership. However, Medina has pointed out some of the problems that come with the 6 foot 2 guard.

Irving struggles to stay healthy
“I think when you talk to people in the front offices around the league, they think, yeah, he has a great basketball talent, but he’s one giant headache. There’s a lot of unpredictability as far as his availability goes, because he has had a lot of injuries. Even though he trains really well and is well-conditioned and has a great game, he’s had struggles with staying healthy on the court,” Medina told GiveMeSport.

“Then it’s all the other extracurriculars. There’s been so many times in the last few years when he’s had leave of absences with just taking personal days without any explanations. Then there’s been a lot of unique circumstances like not adhering to the vaccine mandate when playing for a Brooklyn Nets organization in a city that had a vaccine mandate, and therefore didn’t make them available for games.”

Irving’s next move
As Mark Medina says, Kyrie Irving has struggled to stay healthy as he hasn’t played over 70 games since the 2016-17 season with Cleveland, which was his last with the Cavs. Yet, he did seem to find a bit of success in Dallas as he averaged over 38 minutes per game and averaged 27 points per game.

However, the Mavericks missed the playoffs after being in a playoff spot when they traded for him. With that, his future in Dallas is uncertain as Irving is a free agent this summer.

Warriors veteran Andre Iguodala might have played his last game for Golden State. Throughout his time with the team, Iguodala has been instrumental in providing guidance and mentorship to the younger players. His contributions were particularly noteworthy during the Warriors’ successful campaign to win the 2015 NBA Championship.

His exceptional defensive skills against LeBron James played a significant role in the series, earning him the honor of 2015 NBA Finals MVP. Iguodala wished Myers after his decision via a tweet. He tweeted “To more life Robert, appreciate you!”
