Tottenham Hotspur Launch A Move For This Serie A Defender: Should Spurs Snap Him Up?
In a recent report, RMC Sport stated that Tottenham Hotspur have launched a move for AS Roma defender Evan Ndicka. It has been mentioned that Spurs are hoping to get a deal done for the Ivory Coast centre-back this summer. Ndicka's Impressive Season In Serie A Ndicka had a solid campaign at the Italian club as he managed to produce a handful of impressive performances at the heart of their defence last season. The Ivory Coast international made 51 appearances for Roma in the previous campaign, scoring one goal and grabbing a couple of assists across various competitions. Advertisement The 25-year-old was a rock at the back for Roma and did well to make 32 tackles, 46 blocks and 33 interceptions for his current club in Serie A last season. He even distributed possession accurately from the back after completing 92.1% of his attempted passes in top-flight football (stats via His current deal at AS Roma will run out in the summer of 2028 which could make it difficult for Spurs to sign him on the cheap this off-season. LECCE, ITALY – MARCH 29: Evan Ndicka of AS Roma during the Serie A match between Lecce and AS Roma at Stadio Via del Mare on March 29, 2025 in Lecce, Italy. (Photo by) Should Tottenham Hotspur Snap Ndicka Up This Summer? Ndicka is a solid tackler of the ball and can scan the danger well to earn possession back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and can use his towering 1.92m frame to win his fair share of aerial duels. Advertisement However, only time will tell whether the Ivory Coast defensive ace can cope with the high intensity of the Premier League if Tottenham manage to bring him on board this summer. Ndicka would add more bite and steel to the North London club's backline. He has what it takes to challenge for a regular starting spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season. At 25, Ndicka has his peak years ahead of him which makes him a decent choice for Spurs to pursue in this transfer window. He might even help Tottenham compete across all fronts over the next few years. With all things considered, Spurs should focus on snapping Ndicka up ahead of the new campaign. However, the North London club needs to be patient before they can get the best out of the talented centre-back.

Carlos Alcaraz roars past Jannik Sinner in epic French Open final
The French Open opened two weeks ago with a tribute to retired 14-time champion Radal Nadal and the Big Three of his generation. It ended Sunday on the clay court at Roland Garros in Paris with the unquestioned coronation of the Big Two. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz cemented their mark as the future of men's tennis in a classic French Open men's final when Alcaraz fought off three consecutive match points in the fourth set and rallied for a grueling 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) victory. "Honestly, I don't know what I did. Honestly, I don't know what happened," Alcaraz said on the TNT broadcast. "... I didn't think about anything else, just going point after point and putting my heart into it and getting all of my energy into it. I tried to not give up. We were in a final of a grand slam. There wasn't time to be afraid. There wasn't time to give up. I just tried to fight until the last ball." The 5-hour, 29-minute match was the longest ever for a French Open title, surpassing the 4-hour, 42-minute match at Paris in 1982 won by Sweden's Mats Wilander over Argentina's Guillermo Vilas. "First of all, Carlos, congrats. An amazing performance, an amazing battle, amazing everything," Sinner said following the match. "To you and your team, amazing job. I'm very happy for you and you deserve it. In defending his French Open title, the No. 2-ranked Alcaraz prevented world No. 1 Sinner from winning his third consecutive grand slam title. Even after five hours, a run of elite shot making continued with Alcaraz forcing the tiebreaker in the fifth set by holding serve. Alcaraz appeared to be in control while leading in 5-3 in the fifth set and served for the match at 5-4. But Sinner broke Alcaraz's serve to get to 5-5 then won his own at deuce to lead 6-5 before Alcaraz held serve to send the match to a tiebreaker at 6-6. Alcaraz roared out to a 7-0 lead in the 10-point fifth-set tiebreaker and was leading 9-2 when he sprinted across the baseline and ripped a forehand up the line for the winner. He immediately slumped to the red clay in relief. In a contest that featured countless twists, turns and tense moments, there was no bigger spot in the match than the seventh game of the fourth set, when Sinner broke the serve of Alcaraz, giving him a 4-3 lead. The Italian steamrolled through his own serve to go up 5-3 and had three championship points in the next game. But Alcaraz, of Spain, wasn't quite ready to relinquish his crown, coming back to hold serve. And any nerves Sinner had on those championship points continued into his service game. Sinner could muster just one point, putting the match back on serve at 5-5 when his shot went long. After two holds, Sinner and Alcaraz went to another tie-breaker. Sinner jumped to a 2-0 lead, with Alcaraz closing out seven of the next eight points to send the match to a two-set tie, setting up his final set heroics. When it was done, Alcaraz called it the best match of his young career, ahead of his previous four grand slam victories. "This match is the first one where I came back from two sets down and I think there wasn't a better location than a Roland Garros final against a No. 1 in the world in Jannik," Alcaraz said. "It was the perfect place to come back from two sets down. It was the best match I played in a grand slam and I'm really proud and happy this happened." The 22-year-old Alcaraz will next attempt to win his third straight trophy at Wimbledon, which begins June 30 in London. Alcaraz now leads their head-to-head meetings 8-4. This was their first clash in a Grand Slam final and the first time Alcaraz came back from a 2-0 deficit in a major to win a match. He had been 0-8. Both entered the match undefeated in grand slam finals. Sinner moves to 3-1, and Alcaraz to 5-0 in Grand Slams. The Spaniard now has back-to-back French Open wins to go with victories at Wimbledon in 2023 and 2024, and at the U.S. Open in 2022. Sinner won the past two Australian Opens and the 2024 U.S. Open crown. In fact, since Daniil Medvedev won in New York in 2021, no one other than Sinner, Alcaraz, Nadal or Novak Djokovic has won a Grand Slam event. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic reach semifinals at French Open
The French Open's final four is set, as Italy's Jannik Sinner and Serbia's Novak Djokovic each prevailed in the event's quarterfinals on Wednesday in Paris to advance to the semifinals. They'll face off in one half of the semifinals Friday, joining Italian Lorenzo Musetti and Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, who will also do battle in advance of Sunday's final at Roland Garros. Sinner, the world's top-ranked player, closed out Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik in straight sets in a little under two hours, making short work of him on the clay court. In pursuit of his first French Open championship, Sinner won 6-1, 7-5, 6-0, sprinting out to an easy win in the first set at Court Philippe-Chatrier before being pressed in Set 2. Bublik held advantages of 4-3 and 5-4, before the 23-year-old Sinner reeled off three straight wins for the rally. From there, it was smooth sailing in the final set. 'We played a couple times already, so you know a little bit what to expect,' Sinner said. 'But in another way, with him, you never know what is happening. He deserved to be in the quarterfinals. He beat very tough opponents. I tried to stay focused from my side of the court and play as solid as possible as he can have some ups and downs.' To wit, Sinner grabbed 31 winners, while Bublik endured a whopping 37 unforced errors in the match. Having won his last 19 matches at major events, Sinner became the first Italian man to reach six major semifinals. Despite never advancing beyond the semifinals in this event before, Sinner expressed excitement over the upcoming opportunity. 'I am very happy and happy with how I arrived in the semifinals,' Sinner said. 'Semifinals in Grand Slams are very special, so I am looking forward to it.' Djokovic, 38, took three hours and 20 minutes to defeat Germany's Alexander Zverev at Roland Garros 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 to stay in contention for what would be his first major since 2024 (Australian Open). It continues a hot run on clay for Djokovic, who won in Geneva and has now won nine matches in a row on the surface. It wasn't easy, especially early on as Zverev seized control 2-0 and made that advantage stick for an opening-set victory. Djokavic corrected that error in Set 2, building a 4-1 advantage. He did the same, going up 2-0 in Set 4. Set 3 was different, with Zverev going up 1-0 and 2-1, before Djokovic rattled off five straight wins for the set. 'My tactic was just to play drop shots,' Djokovic said. 'So, I played three or four in a row ... Maybe you can't see it on TV, but there is a lot of wind from one side, so it gives the sensation that you must hit twice as hard. It was important to vary the game.' Despite all that, Zverev never conceded, and only lost on winners 42-38. The German also proved himself relatively equal on return points won (35 to 37) and saved four match points, compared to none for Djokavic. Yet in the final game of the day, the two exchanged 41 shots, with the Serbian finally winning after converting his fifth match point. 'Evidently there was a lot of pressure at the end,' Djokovic said. 'Zverev has been one of the best players in the world over the past six years. Matches like this tonight are the reason why I still want to play and compete.' Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved
