Top-Seeded Alexander Zverev Beats Defending Champ Alexei Popyrin To Reach Semifinals In Toronto
Top-seeded Alexander Zverev rallied to defeat No. 18 Alexei Popyrin of Australia 6-7 (8), 6-4, 6-3 on Monday to reach the semifinals of the National Bank Open. Zverev, the 2017 tournament champion, will face either No. 11 seed Karen Khachanov of Russia or No. 26 Alex Michelsen of the U.S. Zverev, a German who is ranked No. 3, advanced to his 75th ATP Tour semifinal. He is looking for his 25th tournament title and eighth in an ATP 1000 Masters tournament. The other quarterfinals are Tuesday. Second-seeded Taylor Fritz will take on No. 6 Andrey Rublev of Russia, while No. 4 Ben Shelton is slated to meet No. 9 Alex de Minaur of Australia. Both semifinals go Wednesday ahead of Thursday's title match. Popyrin took the first set when his gentle backhand volley after a long rally grazed the top of the net and dropped for the winning point — much to the delight of his fans, including one with an inflatable yellow kangaroo. Zverev responded by immediately firing a ball completely out of Sobeys Stadium in frustration, but quickly regrouped to go up 2-0 in the second set. Popyrin grabbed a break of his own before holding serve at 4-4. Zverev, who won the Canadian title in Montreal eight years ago when he defeated childhood idol Roger Federer, took a 5-4 lead and then again broke his opponent to even the match. Ousted at the quarterfinal stage of last year's tournament, Zverev got another break to go up 2-0 in the third set before serving out the match. The 28-year-old, who lost to top-ranked Jannik Sinner in the final at this year's Australian Open and made the French Open quarters, improved to 4-0 all-time against Popyrin, including a third-round victory at the Paris Olympics. Zverev has two tournament wins on clay this year, and is the highest-ranked player competing in a Toronto field lacking some significant star power after Sinner, No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, No. 5 Jack Draper and No. 6 Novak Djokovic all skipped the hard-court event. The 25-year-old Popyrin, ranked No. 26, had his nine-match winning streak in Canada snapped.

Rising star Keymer expects plenty of hard-fought games at Chennai Grand Masters
Vincent Keymer is a rising star in the world of chess. The 20-year-old German has some impressive triumphs in his CV but his claim to fame among Indians would be working as a second in D. Gukesh's team during his victorious World championship campaign over Ding Liren late last year. The World No. 21 is in the city for the Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters tournament, beginning on Wednesday. 'It is a very interesting field. There are many young and ambitious players, so I am expecting a lot of hard-fought games. I just want to play good chess,' he told The Hindu. About working with Gukesh, Keymer said 'It was certainly special for me. It was the first time that I did this kind of work and it was interesting.' Special ability 'I learnt quite a few things during that time. It is very tough to say what exactly translates into my play or level, but there are things that I learnt that are helpful for my own performances,' he said. Asked what was special about Gukesh, he said the Indian is quite flexible in his repertoire. 'Of course, his fighting spirit is very good… he can find a way and understand positions that are very tough to understand. He also calculates extremely well.' Emphasising that qualifying for the Candidates, the tournament to identify the challenger to Gukesh, would be tough, Keymer said, 'Qualifying for the Candidates is more or less the main focus for the next few months. ' Obviously, it is going to be very tough, but I am going to give it my all.'

Bayer Leverkusen extends Patrik Schick's contract until 2030
Bayer Leverkusen has extended a contract for Czech Republic striker Patrik Schick until 2030, the German Bundesliga club said on Monday. Schick's original deal was to expire in 2027. The announcement came after a string of key players left the club this off-season. They include midfielder Granit Xhaka, attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, right back Jeremie Frimpong, and defender Jonathan Tah—all crucial to Leverkusen's league and cup double in 2024. Also, coach Xabi Alonso departed for Real Madrid. ALSO READ: Lionel Messi injury update — Inter Miami reveals potential return timeline for Argentina captain Schick was Leverkusen's top scorer last season with 27 goals in 45 games and has scored a total of 64 goals in the Bundesliga for the club since his arrival in 2020. Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, who was appointed in May to replace Alonso, is faced with a big rebuild due to the departures. Leverkusen's off-season spending so far has gone on American attacking midfielder Malik Tillman from PSV Eindhoven and former Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah, while the club has also signed Brentford's highly rated goalkeeper Mark Flekken. 'Bayer 04 is working hard to assemble a top team for the future,' Schick said. 'I firmly believe that we will continue to play a significant role in the Bundesliga and in Europe.'
