Elina Svitolina came to the greatest success in her career. The Ukrainian triumphed at the WTA Championship in Singapore after finishing Sloan Stevens to the final 3:6, 6:2, 6:2 after 2 hours and 23 minutes.
She became the first tennis player to reach the title without a loss in 2013 when she did Serena Williams. Svitolina demonstrated an incredible form in Singapore, on the way to the final according online sport tv defeated the last year`s champion Caroline Wozniacki, the Czech Petra Kvitova and Karolina Pliskova and Kiki Bertens in the semifinals.
Stephens started the title fight better by knocking his opponent to zero in the second game. The battle of the court was in two close styles of play, which led to long games. The Ukrainian was not in optimal rhythm in the first set. She saved three breakthroughs in the sixth game, but failed to take advantage of her chances in the next. The American dictated the game with powerful forehands and won the first set with 6:3. Svitolina showed a different face in the second part. She believed more in her strikes and was far more aggressive. Though she had problems with the serve, she was attacking and had three breaks to take control of the set. The 24-year-old Ukrainian continued to dominate in the third part, and Stephens had no answer.
Elina recorded the ninth consecutive win in the finals, and today`s success will climb her fourth place in the world rankings.

Barca has a curious option for a new coach
Barcelona`s management drills to secure a quick successor to Ernesto Valverde if the senior coach of the team does not sign a new contract. According to `Corriere dello Sport`, the Catalans very much like Sassuolo`s young mentor Roberto de Jeremi and closely follow his development. The proof is that Barca people attend almost every Sassuolo game and study the team play and tactical decisions of De Zerbi. The attacking style of the 39-year-old specialist is one of its benefits.
De Jereb was already close to working in Spain last summer, but then laughed at Las Palmas. He then stood at Sassolo`s head. After 17 rounds in Serie A, his team is in 8th place in the 25-point ranking.
Valverde`s contract is until the end of the season, but so far he has not received any proposal to extend it. Although the Catalans lead in the Primera Liga and won their Champions League group, they are increasingly speculating for a split between the club and the former coach of At hletic Bilbao, Espanyol, Olympiacos, Villarreal and Valencia.
At the same time, Barcelona understood to offer an offer to Celta`s striker Maximiliano Gomez. `AS` claims that the Uruguayan is seen as a potential substitute for his compatriot Louis Suarez, who will turn 32 in the summer. Barca`s scout unit is fascinated by Gomez`s proper movement and speed, despite his high stature.
The 22-year-old Taran is in Celta from 2017 when the Vigo club paid him 4 million euros to Defensor. In the current season Gomez has 15 matches predicted by online soccer advisor and 8 goals in the league and has also made 4 assists. The treaty of the Uruguayan national is until 2022, and he is also interested in Atletico Madrid.

Athletes is now the third grand and must stop being a poor man
After an unexpected and bitter drop in the Champions League group stage last season at Atletico Madrid, they took their hands and actively sought out on the transfer market actions that would help him again to be a scare for every rival of the biggest football scene in Europe.
This week Athletes announced the attraction of Jelson Martins -;the Portuguese pearl, which came out of money after its unilateral termination of the contract with Sporting Lisbon for the attack of the green-white ultras during a training this spring. Perhaps, however, there will be a court saga following the appeal of the Portuguese club in FIFA and the claim for 100 million euros.
This is the fifth new los robinbalos player for this summer, but the best transfer remains Antoine Grizzman`s hold (99% surely will be the same with Jan Oblak). The Frenchman is the emblem of one team who has ceased to be the first runner of Barcelona and Real Madrid to become the third grand prix of P rimera. From now on, the battle for the title will not be the prerogative of two clubs thanks to the exclusive transfer summer, the result predicted by messibest of the efforts of the Atletico Madrid Technical Secretariat.
Extremely summer, because Grizzman (and almost certainly the Cloud) remains, none of the fundamental players of the team except the giant veteran Gabi leave, and players like Toma Lemar (for as much as 70m euros), Rodri (20m euros), Joni Castro (7m euros), Antonio Adan (1m euros), two young promises such as Neuel Perez and Juan Manuel Sanabria plus the already mentioned Gelson Martins.
Thus, coach Diego Simeone retains the backbone of his team and adds new pieces of jigsaw that allow him to make a jump in quality. That`s why I do not like this El Cholo poet`s discourse about the poor man in the company of the wealthy when he tells the media that we can not compet e with the grand prizes and we can not pay 150 million for one player.
Barca has not bought any footballer at this price in his long history, nor was he actually playing this summer (at least until now) a player at the price of Lemmar. What`s more:Barca could not compete with Atletico for the Grozman`s salary offered by the mats. He remains in the family, as Simeone says, but only because the club offered him 23 million euros a year net -;a salary earned on Camp Nou as the only level of the best player in the world, Lionel Messi, and probably none of the Real Madrid players are likely to be.
That is why I do not find it appropriate to enter this rhetoric for the poor or the poor club when you are able to make bigger investments from Barca or Madrid.
Atletes has become a solid grandmother and should therefore treat him as such;both the rivals and the robinbalos themselves. He pays as the largest payer and is able to make the necessary investments to improve his stock. In all this situation, the Madrid team should be considered nothing but a leading candidate for the title in La Liga, and the whine of the inferiority is time to stop.

Monaco systematically violated the transfer rules
According to the French press, Monaco repeatedly violated the transfer rules adopted by the French Football Federation. The violations relate to commissions paid by the club mentioned by soccer livescore to agents.
According to the rules in force, the agent can not receive more than 10% of the value of the transfer. So in 2014, Monaco`s lawyer Daniel Bick says he has warned Vadim Vasilyev, the vice-president of the club, that multiple transfer fees exceed 10% and will be more difficult to hide these facts in the future.
However, according to the publication, this practice has not ceased. Thus the agent Jean-Marc Goiran, who is near the Prince of Monaco Albert, received a commission of 480, 000 euros for the transfer of the defender Nicolas Isimat-Mirin and other 150, 000 as a transfer bonus. Officially, that bonus has been transfer red to another transfer that has allowed the rule to be circumvented.
Another agent Philippe Lamboley has received 400, 000 euros for `making a list of 20 players` (potential newcomers). Manchester United has paid 4 million euros for a dummy match, and in fact it was the transfer fee of Anthony Martial. Similar facts have occurred in other transactions.

Why has Real Madrid chosen Conte?
Real Madrid has made its first formal offer to Antonio Conte this Friday to replace Julen Lopetegui`s coaching career, after the lame El Clasico at Camp Nou`s 5:1 crash has actually triggered talks paralyzed until Sunday in anticipation of the events. According to sources from the club`s leadership, white president Florentino Perez had until recently hoped to get Jose Mourinho back. That is why, for several days, club strategists have been looking for a way to gain time, including even retaining Lopetegui, as long as only the result in Barcelona is not too scandalous. However, this loophole closed sharply on Sunday afternoon as the goals scored at Thibaut Courtois goal and Manchester United beat Everton (2:1).
The club leaders now hope to close talks with Conte by the end of Monday and present it officially on Tuesday. Meanwhile, however, they do not rule out the possibility that the coach of the Castella Affiliate Santiago Solari, to lead the first team in the upcoming Wednesday match for the King`s Cup in Melia.
Mourinho and Conte were at the top two in the list of Florentino Perez as a new monster manager. If the reins in the summer following the refusal of the other alternatives were taken by the General Director Jose Angel Sanchez and called Lopetegui now the President himself took the job. The lodges say that the road was difficult, filled with uncertainty over a series of dilemmas that never lead to the ideal solution.
Perez, however, has now built a conviction:this time he as a coach wants a strict and firm in his disciplinary criteria specialist;a man with an authoritarian reputation capable of leading a squad who has become a victim of over-saturation after winning four of the last five Champions League leagues and has lost the mental energy needed to maintain competitiveness at the highest level in football. The president and the whole government are confident that the main culprits of the worst series of Madrid results according soccer livescore since 2007 are the players and only a strong figure on the bench will turn their performance.
In June this year, the order of priority for the European champions` coach opt-outs was Joachim Loew, Maurisco Pochettino, Jurgen Klop pand Massimiliano Allegri. The fifth on this list was Conte, whom Perez then wrote off to avoid conflicts. It turns out that during the camps of the Spanish national team Chelsea-called football players informed Sergio Ramos that the Italian is, in a word, intolerable. Only one Lopetegui left. With no more alternatives, Perez raised his hands, and Jose Angel Sanchez called him and took up the task.
Now the presidential favorite was Jose Mourinho. However, the Portuguese challenged more than a simple rejection among the veterans in the squad who had the opportunity to train under his guidance between 2010 and 2013. There was also an active contract with United, and his ongoing negotiations to leave the English club have no prospects of accelerating. Things have become more complicated after the Red Devils' victory over Everton at the time of the 5

Nadal loses set but continues the US Open plan
Rafael Nadal, the 17th Grand Slam champion and champion of the season, needed four sets to eliminate Nikoloz Basilashvili and qualify for the eighth time of the US Open quarterfinals - 6:3, 6:3, 6:76), 6:4. The victory was a bit harder than expected, due to the complications in the third set, but the Georgian was fond of the fans with their aggressive play and the quest for constant wins on both sides of their rocket.
But eventually Nadal prevailed, demonstrating a solid enough shape at the key moments when his opponent seemed to take the lead. The next opponent of the Matadora will be Dominic Team, who for the first time in his career skipped the 4th round in New York, eliminating last year`s finalist Kevin Anderson.
The first set went to Nadal`s account, without Nikoloz Basilashvili making a serious mistake and a debilitating golden breakout opportunity. The Spaniard, however, was very solid not only on the firs t but also on the second serve, and at the same time his unbelievable motion on the court compensated for the greater force of the forehands of Nikoloz Basilashvili`s main line.

Unfortunately for Nikoloz Basilashvili, the discontent of the lost first set was transferred to his debut in the second part, two consecutive double mistakes, followed by three hit points, but a too long forehand from the rocket gave him an early break to Matadora.

Matadora, however, did not discourage himself and realized a rebike after Basililashvili again helped him with a double mistake and a forehand in the off. In the end, the set was decided by a tiebreaker who went to the Georgian`s account, taking advantage of the wrong forehand of his opponent and his great attack on the net - 6:3, 6:3, 6:7 (6).
The last year`s champion, however, began with an early break through the fourth set, shining with a wonderful forehand-winner on the straight. Basillahvilli continued to risk and aggressive, and in the sixth game via how to buy tennis tips his mighty forehanders created enough problems for Nadal to reach a 3:3 draw. Unfortunately for the Georgian, his 13th unprovoked mistake in the set provided two Matadora rebate points, which made him a new forehand-winner on the straight. Unlike the match with Khachanov, this time the great Spaniard did not show any weakness when he had to close the match by even making it with an ace (at 40-0) - 6:3, 6:3, 6:7 (6), 6:4 in three hours and 20 minutes on the court.

Ancelotti: 'I`m not tired of success!'
After many years in Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, Carlo Ancelotti returned to Serie A. Italy`s last cartel in Italy was headed to Milan on 31 May 2009 against Fiorentina. Tomorrow night Ancelotti will take Napoli against Lazio`s team in a new attempt to dethrone Juventus from the summit in Calcio. 'I`m very excited because I`m returning to Italy in 9 years. Many things have changed, but I`m happy to be here. Unfortunately, what happened in Genoa changed the mood of everyone in Italy. It was a wise decision that the two Genoa teams would be retired. We will accept every decision of the federation. Some pre-season meetings did not work out the best, but we changed some things. This team has performed well in recent years and will take time to change things. I want to make this team even better.', Ancelotti commented on today`s press conference.
'When I say my players` game adviced by how to buy asian handicap picks scheme, then you will understand it too. I have some doubts, but I think this is something positive. We will keep the current scheme, but we will change our gameplay. In friendly matches, we lacked a balance, but we worked on it and I`m sure we will not have this problem tomorrow. I have never been tired of success. Success helps you win. I remember more victories than losing. Typhoons have long been a title and so we are here. We want to delight all the typhoons in Napoli.', continued the experienced mentor.
'The characteristics that a central striker must possess are the same in the development of the game, no matter whether Milik or Mertens will play. The difference is in the individual characteristics. Lazio is a very strong and organized team. Inzaghi did a great job with high quality players. The meeting will be great because we will play at a very fast pace!', concluded Ancelotti.
