Bublik plays 'match of his life' to upset De Minaur in Paris
PARIS: Alexander Bublik hailed one of the best matches of his life as the Kazakh rallied from two sets down to dispatch ninth-seeded Australian Alex de Minaur at the French Open on Thursday. The 27-year-old Monaco-based player said he was already thinking about the journey home before De Minaur threw him a lifeline to turn their second-round match in his favour, 2-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2. "I was checking the tickets already in my head," said Bublik, who had 12 double faults and 12 aces in the match of two halves. "I was a bit sleepy in the first two sets. It was a key to wake up and then to play one of the best Slam matches that I ever played in my life. "I'm not going to tank at a Slam. So he gave me a chance and I used it. Then it was a bit of a momentum shift." De Minaur, a quarter-finalist in Paris last year, hit 46 winners to 51 for Bublik. "Every chance that I had since the third set, I used it," said Bublik who had 48 unforced errors to De Minaur's 34. "He was playing unbelievable. "Then at a certain moment, he made a few mistakes, he gave me the break. Then he gave me another break. I start fighting. "So yeah, it's one of the most important wins." For De Minaur, 26, it was "one of those matches that kind of just slipped away without a whole lot of meaning." "Look, I'm just tired. I'm tired mentally. I'm a little bit burnt out, if anything. A lot of tennis being played," he said. "In a way, the good thing is that what's happened today is something like a miracle, right, in the sense that I'm not known for these types of performances or losing a match like this from two sets to love up." Bublik next meets Portugal's Henrique Rocha who also came from two sets down against Czech teenager Jakub Mensik to win 2-6, 1-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3. Rocha joins fellow countryman Nuno Borges in the third round, the first time two Portuguese men have advanced to the last 32 at a major.

Former Australian cricketer and Monaco-based multimillionaire Bob Cowper dies at the age of 84
Former Australian cricketer Bob Cowper has died at the age of 84. Cowper was the first batter to score a triple-century against England in Australia. The Victorian represented Australia from 1964-68, representing his nation in 27 Test matches. The southpaw scored 2061 runs in his career, which includes the triple-ton, which lasted for about 12 hours at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1966. Cowper remained the only Australian to score a triple hundred on home soil until Mathew Hayden's 380 against Zimbabwe in 2003. 'We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bob Cowper, who was a hugely respected figure in Australian cricket,' Cricket Australia chair, Mike Baird, said. 'Bob was a wonderful batter who will always be remembered for his famous triple-century at the MCG, as well as his strong influence in the Australian and Victorian teams of the 1960s. 'He was also a significant contributor to cricket in other roles, including as an ICC match referee, and his wisdom was always keenly sought,' Baird added. 'On behalf of Cricket Australia, our deepest condolences to Bob's family, friends and former teammates at this very sad time.' Cowper retired from cricket at the age of 28 and pursued a career in finance. He became a Monaco-based multimillionaire working in stockbroking and banking. 'Too intelligent and ambitious to linger long in a game offering such modest financial rewards,' said renowned Australian journalist Gideon Haigh, speaking to ESPNcricinfo. 'His fertile cricket imagination and sense of injustice at the lot of the average Australian cricketer left a strong impression on Ian Chappell, in time a militant campaigner for the rights of his comrades,' he added. 'I'm proud of what I achieved. It was totally different in those days . . . everyone had another career running alongside cricket. It would have been a great honour to be there but, as you can imagine, it's a little far to go.'' Cowper told Fairfax Media in 2003.
