La belle aventure du Montréalais Gabriel Diallo aux Internationaux de tennis des États-Unis a pris fin en début de soirée samedi, lorsque l’Américain Tommy Paul en est venu à bout en quatre manches de 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-1, 7-6 (3) dans un duel de troisième ronde qui a duré près de trois heures half-hour.

Après un essential creux de obscure lors des deuxième et troisième manches, Diallo a repris des couleurs lors du quatrième set, lors duquel il a détenu des avances de 3-0 et 4-2.

Mais Paul n’a pas perdu son sang-froid. Il a graduellement rattrapé son adversaire de 22 ans pour forcer la tenue d’un deuxième bris d’égalité dans le match.

Contrairement à ce qu’il avait montré lors du premier bris, Paul a été incisif. Il a inscrit cinq factors d’affilée qui lui ont permis de se bâtir une avance de 6-1. Diallo a sauvé les deux premières balles de match, mais pas la troisième.

Paul a profité d’une volée un peu trop haute et trop longue de Diallo pour loger un coup droit en parallèle qui n’a donné aucune likelihood au géant de six pieds huit pouces.

« J’ai le sentiment que j’ai bien retourné ses providers, mais il était très combatif sur les miens. Ç’a été une balade en montagnes russes lors du premier set et lors du quatrième set aussi. Je suis content material d’être passé au travers », a déclaré Paul sur le court docket après sa victoire.

Face à la 14^e tête de série du tournoi, Diallo espérait signer une sixième victoire consécutive depuis son arrivée à Flushing Meadows, incluant les trois acquises lors du volet des {qualifications}.

Une fois dans le tableau principal, il a défait l’Espagnol Jaume Munar, 84^e au monde, en quatre manches puis le Français Arthur Fils, (24^e) au monde, également en quatre units.

À divers moments du match, samedi, il a donné du fil à retordre à Paul, entre autres grâce à son service qui lui a permis d’inscrire 12 as comparativement à six doubles fautes.

Mais son jeu au service l’a aussi plusieurs fois placé en place difficile au level où il a dû faire face à 20 balles de bris, dont neuf qu’il n’a pas réussi à effacer. Surtout, il a commis 77 erreurs directes comparativement à seulement 32 coups gagnants.

Une victoire contre un joueur aussi aguerri que Paul lui aurait assuré un rendez-vous, lundi, contre le numéro un mondial Jannik Sinner.

Il reste que Diallo, qui était le dernier Canadien en lice en easy, devrait se retrouver au 103^e rang lors de la prochaine publication du classement de l’ATP, lui qui était 143^e lorsque le tournoi a commencé. Il s’agira de son meilleur classement en carrière.

Diallo sur la défensive

À l’exception du jeu preliminary de l’affrontement, Diallo s’est retrouvé en place précaire à son service tout au lengthy du premier set. Il a eu à sauver deux balles de bris lors du troisième jeu, et trois autres lors du cinquième pour rester à niveau avec l’Américain.

Paul a finalement percé la muraille du jeune Montréalais avec des bris lors des septième, neuvième et onzième jeux. Le hic, c’est que Diallo a réagi à chaque fois en lui ravissant son service immédiatement après pour ainsi forcer un bris d’égalité.

Les deux joueurs ont continué leur randonnée en montagnes russes lors du jeu décisif du set. Ils se sont échangé quatre mini-bris au fil des huit premiers factors et Paul a pris l’avance 5-4 grâce à un autre mini-bris, avec la balle en primary pour deux providers.

Paul les a perdus tous les deux, le premier sur un smash de Diallo et le second, sur une erreur au coup droit. Diallo a mis fin à ce premier set grâce à un service gagnant.

La deuxième manche n’a nullement ressemblé à la première. Paul a gagné les trois premiers jeux, dont le deuxième au service de Diallo à l’aide d’un coup droit gagnant, et il n’a eu besoin que de 34 minutes pour créer l’égalité dans l’affrontement lorsque Diallo a envoyé un revers dans le filet.

Le début du troisième set a été encore pire pour Diallo qui s’est retrouvé face à un recul de 0-4 après à peine 20 minutes d’motion.

Le Montréalais a mis fin à l’hémorragie en gagnant le cinquième jeu à son service avant de perdre les deux suivants, le dernier à son service sur une erreur au coup droit.

Après un marathon de 75 minutes lors du premier set, les deux suivants ont duré, ensemble, 68 minutes.

Dabrowski et Routiliffe l’emportent

Plus tôt en journée, la Canadienne Gabriela Dabrowski et sa partenaire néo-zélandaise Erin Routliffe ont atteint les huitièmes de finale du double féminin grâce à une victoire de 7-5, 6-4 contre le duo formé de l’Américaine Catherine Harrison et de la Polonaise Alicja Rosolska.

Favorites de la compétition, Dabrowski et Routliffe ont eu besoin d’un peu moins de 90 minutes pour se défaire de leurs rivales.

Au premier set, Dabrowski et Routliffe ont obtenu des bris de service lors des troisième et neuvième jeux, mais en chaque event, Harrison et Rosolska ont aussitôt ramené le set à service égal.

Dabrowski et Routliffe ont cependant inscrit un autre bris lors du 11e jeu, sans concéder le moindre level. Elles ont enchaîné avec un autre jeu parfait pour clore le premier set.

En deuxième manche, Dabrowski et Routliffe ont pris une confortable avance de 5-2 grâce à des bris lors des troisième et septième jeux. Elles ont remis un de ces bris lors du huitième jeu mais ont résisté jusqu’à la fin.

Au prochain tour, Dabrowski et Routliffe croiseront le fer avec le tandem composé de la Roumaine Jaqueline Cristian et de l’Italienne Angelica Moratelli.

Proof that Clemson’s offense has lastly turned a nook should wait at the very least one other week.

Going through off towards No. 1 Georgia, the No. 14 Tigers cobbled collectively simply 188 yards on 3.6 yards per play in a 34-3 loss. After spending simply two snaps inside opposing territory within the first half — one resulted in a loss, the opposite in a penalty — Clemson’s solely factors got here on a 26-yard subject aim about halfway by way of the third quarter, by which level the Bulldogs had constructed a 13-0 lead. Georgia would reply to the Tigers’ subject aim with a landing on the following possession to erase any sense of momentum.

After developing simply wanting the School Soccer Playoff final season, Georgia appears to be like constructed to smother groups on the best way to a 3rd nationwide championship in 4 years. For the Tigers, even quick features felt like accomplishments; any lengthy acquire felt like an absolute miracle.

Second-year beginning quarterback Cade Klubnik completed 18 of 29 for 142 yards, simply 4.9 yards per try, with an interception. His receiver corps struggled to get any separation towards the Bulldogs’ secondary whereas Clemson’s offensive entrance did not get any motion, leading to simply 46 dashing yards on 23 carries. General, the efficiency can be surprising had we not seen it repeatedly these previous three seasons — a crippling run of unrealized manufacturing that has coincided with Clemson’s disappearance from the nationwide stage.

After all, Georgia goes to do that to groups. The Bulldogs weren’t solely dominant defensively however unsurprisingly efficient on the offensive facet: Carson Beck was 23 of 33 for 278 yards and two scores, kickstarting his Heisman Trophy marketing campaign in type, whereas seven runners mixed for 163 yards and two touchdowns on 6.3 yards per carry.

Even when the Bulldogs are the No. 1 group within the nation, that Clemson was totally dominated exhibits how far the Tigers stand from true title rivalry. When these two groups met in 2021, a 10-3 Georgia win, you might’ve made the case that Clemson was solely a step or two behind the eventual nationwide champs. Just a few years later, that hole has widened to miles and miles of what appears to be insurmountable area.

That makes Georgia the most important winner and Clemson the most important loser from Week 1 of the 2024 season. This is the remainder of the record:

Winners

Penn State

The No. 9 Nittany Lions’ new-look offense delivered 457 yards on 7.6 yards per play, led by quarterback Drew Allar’s 216 passing yards and three touchdowns on 13.1 yards per throw, in a 34-12 win at West Virginia. This a fast validation of James Franklin’s determination to rent coordinator Andy Kotelnicki, who beforehand labored wonders in the identical place at Kansas. The turning level was a late landing drive to finish the primary half, a 73-yard haul in simply three performs to place Penn State in entrance 20-6 on the break. After an prolonged climate delay, the Nittany Lions tacked on a pair of touchdowns within the second half for a convincing highway win towards Energy 4 opponent. After one week, the Nittany Lions appear like a really authentic Large Ten risk and one of many prime contenders for the playoff.

Dylan Raiola

The five-star true freshman kicked off his faculty profession at Nebraska with a bang: Raiola accomplished 19 of 28 throws for 238 yards and two scores with out an interception because the Cornhuskers acquired began with a breezy 40-7 win at house towards Texas-El Paso. One of many largest additions of the offseason within the Large Ten, Raiola is a transparent improve over what Nebraska labored with in Matt Rhule’s first season and one of some the reason why the Cornhuskers are a classy choose for eight or extra wins.

Tennessee

It is solely Chattanooga, so let’s not get too excited. However the 69-3 win for No. 15 Tennessee was highlighted by an exquisite 2024 debut for redshirt freshman Nico Iamaleava, a former five-star prospect who acquired his toes moist in 4 appearances final season. Iamaleava hit on 22 of 28 throws for 314 yards and three touchdowns, together with a 59-yard rating to Dont’e Thornton Jr., earlier than taking a seat for nearly all the closing two quarters. All however one in all his 314 yards got here within the first half to set a brand new program file for one half, breaking by one yard the earlier mark set by Tyler Bray towards Troy in 2012.

Ohio State and Texas

These two playoff favorites hit the bottom working. New Ohio State quarterback Will Howard had 246 yards of complete offense and a number of other freshmen made a direct influence because the No. 2 Buckeyes poured it on within the second half to beat Akron 52-6. One rookie, five-star receiver Jeremiah Smith, led Ohio State with six grabs for 92 yards and two touchdowns. Freshman working again James Peoples had 30 yards and a rating in six carries behind co-starters TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, who mixed for 120 yards on 21 touches. Texas rolled previous Colorado State 52-0 behind 545 yards of offense to arrange subsequent week’s big non-conference matchup towards No. 8 Michigan. The win included the primary profession landing go for redshirt freshman Arch Manning, who completed with 95 passing yards.

Ashton Jeanty

Boise State and Georgia Southern performed the wildest recreation of Week 1, a back-and-forth shootout that noticed the 2 groups mix for 35 fourth-quarter factors within the Broncos’ 56-45 win. However the day belonged to Boise working again Ashton Jeanty, who was already a dark-horse Heisman contender after working for 1,347 yards with one other 569 yards as a receiver a 12 months in the past. Jeanty rewrote this system’s single-game file ebook with 267 dashing yards and 6 touchdowns, two off the Bowl Subdivision file of eight in a recreation.

Alabama

There was by no means any doubt that No. 5 Alabama would romp over Western Kentucky, so there’s nothing eye-opening concerning the 63-0 closing in coach Kalen DeBoer’s debut. However that is nonetheless an excellent opener for the man tapped to interchange Nick Saban, with all of the strain and a focus that entails. Jalen Milroe and the offense seemed comfy within the Crimson Tide’s new scheme, dropping 42 factors within the first half with three touchdowns of 54 or extra yards. Two touring a mixed 139 yards went to true freshman receiver Ryan Williams, a 17-year-old phenom who reclassified from the 2025 recruiting class to hitch the Tide this season.

Notre Dame

The go-ahead landing drive within the fourth quarter of the 23-13 win at No. 20 Texas A&M was actually good things from No. 7 Notre Dame, which outdoors of that spurt was fairly uninspired on offense (however predictably robust on protection). Duke switch Riley Leonard had 221 yards of offense and was at his finest late, all the time signal. Can he take the bodily toll of the 12 carries on Saturday night time and keep wholesome? That query in all probability defines how far the Combating Irish go in 2024. One other good query asks how good the Aggies actually are, and we cannot find out about that for just a few extra weeks. However you will not discover something however good vibes concerning the Irish after this form of win in possibly the hardest highway setting within the nation. In different phrases, if you happen to had been considering 11-1 or so towards this 12 months’s schedule, this is not shaking your confidence.

Losers

Florida

The clock is ticking on Billy Napier after an unpleasant, hard-to-watch 41-17 loss at house to Miami confirmed simply how far this system has fallen in his third season. In a must-win recreation towards a bitter rival, the Gators had been barely aggressive. The schedule was all the time going to be an issue: Florida is slated to play eight ranked groups, together with 5 ranked opponents in a row to shut the common season. Whereas the Hurricanes have clearly taken a step ahead because of additions resembling new quarterback Cam Ward, who threw for 385 yards and three scores, that the Gators had been whipped within the Swamp is the strongest trace to this point that Napier’s time is numbered and that this 12 months’s group may very well be simply the second since 1980 to lose eight or extra video games.

Virginia Tech

On the very least, an additional time loss at Vanderbilt evaporates all the optimism across the Hokies after a really robust near final season and and instantly tosses the Hokies out of any consideration for the Prime 25. Down 17-3 at halftime, Tech scrambled again to take a 27-20 lead earlier than the Commodores tied the sport with underneath two minutes left in regulation. Whereas not necessary within the grander scheme of issues — any highway to the playoff has to incorporate an ACC title — falling to the Commodores is the form of loss that may come to outline a season, if not lower a promising 12 months all the way down to dimension earlier than entering into September.

ACC

Miami may’ve seemed the half, however that end result was an outlier amid a foul first step for the ACC. Clemson was blasted by Georgia. Virginia Tech misplaced to Vanderbilt. No. 21 North Carolina State struggled to place away Western Carolina. Every week in the past, No. 10 Florida State acquired issues began for the ACC with a loss to Georgia Tech. It has been a reasonably terrible begin for the convention, which was already badly shedding a battle of public notion towards the Large Ten and SEC. Down the road, unhealthy losses in non-conference play and sloppy showings from the league’s better of the most effective may maintain main sway with the playoff choice committee as they give the impression of being by way of a dozen or extra choices from the Energy 4 for the seven at-large bids.

Rice

The Owls have made clear progress underneath coach Mike Bloomgren, specifically in back-to-back bowl bids heading into this season. Rice remains to be dwelling on the sides of bowl eligibility. The 2022 group went 5-7 within the common season however was chosen for the LendingTree Bowl by advantage of this system’s excessive rating within the Tutorial Progress Report. Final 12 months’s group went 6-6 earlier than getting blown out by Texas State within the First Responder Bowl. So attending to the six-win cutoff means Rice has to win video games at house towards groups resembling Sam Houston State, which as a substitute ran for 178 yards, compelled two turnovers and beat the Owls 34-14. The Bearkats went 3-9 final season as transitional FBS members and had been picked fifth within the Convention USA preseason ballot.

A sport that pivoted on the controversial sending off of Declan Rice early within the second half resulted in a 1-1 draw.

Kai Havertz had put us right into a first-half lead when he deftly lobbed the onrushing keeper after operating onto a Bukayo Saka go.

We had been seemingly in management till Rice was proven purple for 2 bookable offences, the second for time losing, when the referee determined he had prevented a fast restart.

The guests quickly made their benefit depend, and levelled on the hour by Joao Pedro. We had an opportunity to win it when Havertz raced by on the counter, however in the long run the ten males needed to accept a single level.

Havertz provides us carry off

Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka linked up early on. The skipper lifted a ball excessive for the winger to run on to inside the world, however Saka didn’t get any energy on his volleyed effort. Ben White did catch his strike from the sting of the world sweetly moments later, and it gave the impression to be heading goalwards, however Lewis Dunk deflected it away for a nook off his arm. The referee waved away appeals for handball towards the Brighton defender.

An exquisite curling cross from Leandro Trossard – within the group on the expense of Gabriel Martinelli – arrange our subsequent probability. The Belgian’s go was completely into the trail of the arrival Odegaard, however there was no energy behind his shot.

Brighton’s first actual sight of objective got here on the half hour. Havertz misdirected his headed clearance inside his personal field and Kaoru Mitoma latched onto it, flashing his volley simply huge.

The objective to interrupt the impasse got here out of nothing. Jurrien Timber received the ball and launched it up discipline from outdoors his personal space. Saka received the header and the ball bounced by to the advancing Havertz. The German stole in and lifted the ball over the top of Bart Verbruggen from outdoors the world into the online.

It was Havertz’s 18th objective involvement in his final 21 Premier League video games, and he’s scored 5 instances in his final 5 appearances at Emirates Stadium.

Rice sees purple

The primary motion of the second half was a Declan Rice shot deflected huge for a nook, and moments later Rice was the centre of consideration once more. He gave away a free kick by the nook flag, then nudged the ball away earlier than Joel Veltman may take it. Referee Chris Kavanagh deemed it a second yellow card for timewasting, and dismissed the England midfielder.

Diminished to 10 males for just about half the sport, it additionally means Rice might be suspended for the north London derby after the worldwide break.

Inside quarter-hour of the purple card, Brighton had levelled. Raya saved properly from Yankuba Minteh as he burst between our central defenders contained in the field, however Pedro was there to transform the rebound.

Mikel Arteta reacted by sending on Riccardo Calafiori for Leandro Trossard, and shifting Jurrien Timber right into a central function.

Late possibilities

The entire momentum of the sport had modified with the referee struggling to maintain management.

We had been having to take in stress, however Havertz had an excellent alternative on the break from a protracted Gabriel clearance. He took the ball fantastically on the run, however his low shot was stopped by Verbruggen, and Saka’s comply with up was charged down.

Raya saved properly together with his legs from Yasin Ayari earlier than Saka couldn’t fairly get sufficient buy on a Havertz cross in entrance of objective.

In the long run we needed to take a degree, sustaining our unbeaten begin to the season.

What’s subsequent

The worldwide gamers will now be part of up with their respective international locations for the primary worldwide break of the season. We’ll return to motion the next weekend, with the quick journey to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the north London derby, on Sunday, September 15.

The College of Notre Dame soccer workforce (1-0) put collectively a clutch eight-play, 85-yard drive within the recreation’s remaining six minutes to defeat Texas A&M (0-1) 23-13 at Kyle Area on Saturday night. 

The defensive battle noticed Notre Dame take a seven-point lead within the third quarter on a long term from Jadarian Worth, however the dwelling workforce fought again to tie the sport early within the fourth quarter.

For a second it appeared Notre Dame had ripped off a giant play with a 46-yard Jadarian Worth run, however it was referred to as again for holding. On the subsequent play, Jeremiyah Love broke off a 29-yard run and the Irish have been in a position to get again management of the sphere place once they punted and the ball was downed on the 10-yard line. 

With below two minutes to play within the half, Texas A&M tried a final minute drive however Xavier Watts picked off a cross and the groups entered halftime knotted at 6-6.
