Au revoir, Richard Gasquet! Frenchman loses to Jannik Sinner in farewell game at Roland Garros
France's Richard Gasquet smiles as he plays Italy's Jannik Sinner. (AP Photo) THE TIMES OF INDIA AT ROLAND GARROS: The Philippe Chatrier Court has been half-full for most of the day sessions this week, not on Thursday though. For Richard Gasquet, a former top-10 player, and the owner of an elegant single-handed backhand, it was a full house for his last outing. The Frenchman was up against the world No. 1 Jannik Sinner. Both men were given standing ovations when they walked into the stadium. No sooner had play started and the roar on Chatrier echoed across the grounds with chants of 'Reeshard' clap, clap, clap; 'Reeshard' clap, clap, clap filling the late afternoon air. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! When Gasquet produced two backhand winners, down-the-line, catching Sinner out of position in the first of the veteran's service games, it raised visions. The Italian was having none of that though as he powered to a 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 second-round win in shade under two-hours. Who's that IPL player? Gasquet, who played in the era of the big three – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic – made three Grand Slam semifinals, twice at Wimbledon and once in New York, suffered a calf injury in the lead up to his farewell tournament. Sinner, 23, took his time settling down on the clay, having played his first-round match under lights in vastly different conditions. 'In the evening, the ball bounces less. It can play a bit more flatter, because the ball doesn't pop up like it did today,' he said. 'Today, it was at times a bit cloudy, at times was sunny. Different conditions.' Sinner, who had some support in the stands, applauded the home crowd, saying they were respectful. 'When you play against French players here, it's a little bit different, the atmosphere. It's the same when I play in Italy,' he said.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru make it to fourth IPL final, equal Kolkata Knight Riders; who has most final appearances?
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru powered their way to their fourth Indian Premier League final after they swept aside Punjab Kings in the Qualifier 1 game on Thursday. PBKS topped the table in the IPL 2025 league stage but were no match for a rampant RCB in Mullanpur, as RCB knocked off their target of 102 with 8 wickets and 60 balls to spare. The Bengaluru franchise equalled defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders's record of reaching four IPL finals. They join an elite list of teams with the most IPL final appearances. The list of teams with the most appearances in the summit clash are: Chennai Super Kings - 10 finals (5 wins) Mumbai Indians - 6 finals (5 wins) The Bengaluru side are on the cusp of history, as they have never won an IPL title in the 17 editions of the competition that have taken place so far. They have made three appearances in the summit clash and have failed to win each one of them. They first reached the IPL final in 2009 at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, where they met the now defunct Deccan Chargers. This was a final of the previous IPL season's bottom two teams. DC batted first and reached 143/6 powered by a Herschelle Gibbs half century (53), who was ably supported by Andrew Symonds (33 of 21) and a young Rohit Sharma (24 of 23). RCB, in response, could muster only 137 as they fell short by 7 runs in the final. Virat Kohli scored only 7 in the second innings as DC ran out winners. RCB's second IPL final was at the MA Chidambaram Stadium against Chennai Super Kings. Here too RCB batted second as CSK posted a mammoth 205/5. RCB meekly surrendered as they ended up with just 147/8, gifting the Chennai side their second consecutive title. The Bengaluru side's third final appearance came in 2016 at their home ground M Chinnaswamy stadium. They met the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the summit clash and batted second for the third time in a row in an IPL final. SRH posted an imposing 208/7 and here too RCB failed to chase the target on hand. However, they did put up a better fight than the last time around as they scored 200/7 in their 20 overs. It remains to be seen who RCB will face in the IPL 2025 final. Regardless of who they face, the Bengaluru franchise would hope it will be 'fourth time lucky' as they hope to finally break the final curse. Stay updated on all the action from the IPL 2025.
