Alcaraz to face defending champ Sinner in Cincinnati ATP final
World number one Jannik Sinner and hot rival Carlos Alcaraz will face off in a major final for the fourth time this season after both booked straight-set wins into the title match at the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Open on Saturday. Alcaraz to face defending champ Sinner in Cincinnati ATP final Defending champion Sinner ruthlessly subdued 136th-ranked qualifier Terence Atmane 7-6 , 6-2 while Spanish second seed Alcaraz defeated an ailing Alexander Zverev, who was suffering badly from the 32 Celsius heat and humidity, by 6-4, 6-3. Alcaraz and Sinner have played for trophies this season in Rome, Roland Garros and Wimbledon, with the Italian winning their most recent at the All England Club last month. Sinner, celebrating his 24th birthday, ended Frenchman Atmane's dream run and will now try to become the first man since Roger Federer in 2014-15 to win back-to-back titles in Cincinnati. Sinner, tuning up for the US Open in his first tournament since winning Wimbledon, hasn't dropped a set en route to the final. "It's a very, very tough challenge every time you play a new opponent," Sinner said. "In the later stages of the tournament,the pressure is on, they deserve to be there." Alcaraz will also be playing in his second Cincy final after losing to Novak Djokovic in 2023. The Spaniard increased his ATP season match win lead to 53 in a year of five titles. Alcaraz broke Zverev once in the opening set to claim it before the German, who is diabetic, began feeling poorly and took a medical timeout off court after the third game of the second set. Zverev, who has retired in only two matches since 2014, came back out to finish what was a patchy match from Alcaraz, who double-faulted for times in the second game of the second set but won the last 12 points with Zverev running on fumes. "We started well with good rallies, a good level," Alcaraz said. "All of a sudden he felt bad and I was thinking more about how he was feeling instead of playing good tennis. "It was tough and I just wish him all the best." Alcaraz said he is keen to try and take his Wimbledon revenge on Sinner in the unorthodox Monday final. "We always bring our best tennis. We raise each other's level. I'm ready to take the challenge," Alcaraz said. "I will try and adjust my game better and correct what I did wrong in our last match. I want to be ready with my 100%. Mentally I'll be ready I'm excited for Monday." Atmane gave birthday boy Sinner a Pokemon card shortly before they went on court, but he was in a less giving mood once they were underway. But Sinner surrendered just three points in his first six service games as they went to the tiebreaker with neither man facing a break point. Atmane double faulted on the first point of the decider and Sinner was away, powering to a 5-2 lead and pocketing the set at his second opportunity. "My experience helped in the first set," he said. "I'm very happy to go through to another final. "I tried to focus on myself, how I usually play, and then try to adapt a little bit to his game style," Sinner said. "And that's exactly what I did today. "The pressure was on me. That's normal in the position where I am in he was ready to fight." "My goal has always been the US Open, But we have put in the work here, in the gym and in practice. I just hope to be ready for New York." Sinner showed a first sign of vulnerability as he needed five game points to hold serve in the opening game of the second set. But that was the closest look Atmane got at his serve, and Sinner broke the Frenchman for a 3-1 lead and again to seal the match. Atmane, who is projected to crack the top 70 in the world rankings, became Sinner's 22nd straight French victim since May 2021, when he lost to Arthur Rinderknech in Lyon. str/js This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Why is Alexander Isak not playing in Aston Villa vs Newcastle United in Premier League?
Newcastle United started its new Premier League campaign against Aston Villa at Villa Park in Birmingham. However, the Magpies did not have their star striker, Alexander Isak, in the matchday squad. Isak, who had 27 goals and six assists across all competitions for Newcastle, rose to the status of a club hero when he scored the decisive goal against Liverpool in the League Cup final, which earned the team its first silverware in over seven decades. Having moved to Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022, the Swedish forward has 62 goals and 11 assists for the Premier League side. Why is Isak not playing Aston Villa vs Newcastle United? Isak was initially in Nawcastle manager Eddie Howe's plans for the 2025-26 season, but heavy transfer interest from league-holder Liverpool led to a fall-out between the player and manager. The rift led to Isak starting his pre-season training separately from the rest of the squad, at his former club in Spain, Sociedad. Later, Howe admitted that it was not possible to integrate him into the squad. Before Newcastle's opening match in the league, against Villa, it became official that Isak was set to be ruled out of Howe's plans, with the forward out of the squad.

The score card went up for Manchester City in the 34th minute when Erling Haaland hit the maiden goal for the side, The Athletic reported. It all began with a brilliant bit of footwork by Tijani Reijnders, who is making his debut with the side. He was quick into the move past the midfield and later chipped one for Rico Lewis, who later squared it for Haaland to hit it at the back post. The dream start for Reijnders continued as he hit his maiden goal for the side a few minutes later. This came after a loose pass from the back from Adbadou was picked off by Bobb, who ignored Haaland and rather slid the ball towards Reijnders on the left. The Dutchman took full advantage and whipped his left-footed effort past the goalkeeper into the bottom corner. At half-time, Manchester City comfortably managed to set a 2-0 lead against the Wanderers. Manchester City: What to expect this season?
