Eikeri jakter mer Roland-Garros-suksess – videre i mixed double

Eikeri jakter mer Roland-Garros-suksess – videre i mixed double

Tennisspillerne Ulrikke Eikeri og Lucas Miedler er klar for annen runde i mixed double-turneringen i Roland-Garros.
Eikeri har flere ganger spilt godt i Grand Slam-turneringen i Paris. I 2022 tapte hun og belgiske Joran Vliegen finalen i mixed double. I 2024 ble det semifinaleexit sammen med argentinske Maximo Gonzalez, mens Eikeri og japanske Eri Hozumi tapte semifinalen i double i fjor.
I årets utgave er hun klar for annen runde både i kvinnedouble og mixed double. Sistnevnte turnering startet opp torsdag, og der hadde Eikeri og østerrikske Miedler motstand av den franske duoen Tiantsoa Rakotamanga Rajaonah og Arthur Reymond.
Eikeri og Miedler tok første sett med 7-5 etter to servebrudd. I annet sett fikk den norsk-østerrikske duoen en kjempestart med et brudd i første servegame. Grepet ga de aldri fra seg og vant settet 6-3.
I annen runde venter Anna Danilina (Kasakhstan) og James Tracy (USA). Den duoen er 7.-seedet i Paris og dermed tøffe motstandere. (NTB) chickenroad.qpon

El duelo entre Magnier y Narváez suma adrenalina al desenlace del Giro de Italia

Ni entrar en la fuga, ni la victoria de etapa ni el ansiado masaje de piernas de cada tarde sobre la camilla. Nada seduce más a un corredor en una gran vuelta que la posibilidad de ahorrarse un desplazamiento. Menos aún en el ciclismo actual, que, moderno y globalizado, decidido a alejar cada vez más a los protagonistas de sus raíces, se topa de vez en cuando con agradables excepciones, pequeños oasis en los que el pelotón se permite el lujo de relajarse, tomar aire y descansar. Eso mismo sucede este jueves, cuando la caravana del Giro de Italia amanece en Fai della Paganella, a apenas siete kilómetros de la última meta, solo unas horas antes en las calles de Andalo.

Alvin Kamara is not attending Saints Thursday OTA practice

In his Thursday press conference, Saints head coach Kellen Moore noted that running back Alvin Kamara is not in attendance for the day's OTA practice.

That's not unusual. As noted by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football on Wednesday, Kamara has been working out with his own trainers in preparation for 2026, as he often does.

But given that General Manager Mickey Loomis said earlier this month that the team is “trying to see how [Kamara is] gonna fit on our roster,” it’s notable that Kamara isn’t in attendance — even if it’s not out of the ordinary.

Plus, this is a voluntary portion of the offseason program, so Kamara is not required to attend.

Kamara is under contract through the 2026 season and is set to make $3 million guaranteed this season.

The veteran running back played 11 games last season, accounting for 657 yards from scrimmage. He rushed for 471 yards with one touchdown and caught 33 passes for 186 yards in 2025.

Moore also noted that Nathan Shepherd, Zach Wilson, and Ryan Wright are not participating at Thursday’s OTA practice for personal reasons.
