H2H: 1-0 Matteo Berrettini has won nine straight matches. Last week in Gstaad, Matteo won the title without dropping a single set. It was another great clay court tournament for him which got him into the top 50 in the rankings. Here in Kitzbuhel,Berrettini won his first round match against Kotov in straight sets as we predicted. Matteo needed to win two tiebreaks to get the job done against Pavel. Once again, Berrettini has shown us how good he is when playing under pressure. In the second round, Matteo won against Tabilo in two tiebreaks as we predicted. Once again, Matteo stayed calm under pressure and converted the most important points. In the quarterfinals, Berrettini won against Moreno de Alboran once again in straight sets as we predicted. We trusted Matteo in the semifinals as well. Berrettini defeated Hanfmann in straight sets as we predicted. Matteo offered only one breakpoint, which he saved as well. Other than that, it was another great serving performance from the Italian. He looks unplayable here in Kitzbuhel. Matteo just needs to stay fit, and he will be a top 10 player soon enough. The last time he played in Kitzbuhel was in 2018, where he reached the quarterfinals.

The 20204 Paris Olympics actually had a characters from Assassin’s Creed front-and-center as the driving force of the opening ceremony.

We’ll get to the obvious elephant in the room at the end of the article. It’s been a long, long time without League One football to keep us entertained. Well, not as long as last summer’s 20-year wait due to how we finished the 2022/23 season, but three months between the end of one season and the start of the next one is always a long stretch. Even with Euros football to keep us entertained, it really does almost feel like a lifetime ago when we last saw the Royals kick a competitive ball in action.

What If Reading Don’t Sign Anyone?

The opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics is going to be divisive, to say the least. Instead of confining the ceremony to a stadium, organizers chose to put the entire city on display for a sprawling, mixed-media spectacle that married pre-recorded, high-concept short films with live musical performances.

‘Inside the NBA’ is the rare sports studio show that oftentimes feels like a bigger deal than the games happening on the court. The cast of Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith wasn’t just framing the discourse around the biggest stories in the NBA, it was often creating new talking points and viral moments out of thin air by leveraging the panel’s amazing chemistry.

The 2024 Olympic Games are almost here, and one of Team USA’s most-fascinating medal chances come in men’s basketball. A renewed, committed roster is looking to assert itself on the world stage, all in an attempt to prove that the United States is still the dominant force in basketball.

It seems this summer will pass Reading by without bringing in many new faces to supplement the current first team. No doubt there will be a varying range of emotions about this, if indeed the summer does pan out that way, but I will controversially say that signings can often be a sticking plaster for the issues rather than a catalyst for overall improvement.

Olympic soccer isn’t supposed to be like this. What transpired on the first day of competition in the men’s portion of the Summer Games was dirty, it was political, and even featured an undercurrent of racism — ironically at the same tournament designed to bring the world together.
