Carlos Alcaraz set an impressive benchmark during the first half of the 2024 season, clinching prestigious titles including the French Open and Wimbledon. Nonetheless, the latter part of the season saw a decline for the young Spaniard, who captured only one title since mid-August. Shocking defeats to players ranked outside the top 30, such as Gael Monfils, Botic Van De Zandschulp, and Tomas Machac, led to significant point losses, culminating in Alcaraz finishing the year ranked World No. 3. In light of this lack of form, former ATP star Sam Querrey has made the audacious prediction that Alcaraz might tumble…
The season of Carlos Alcaraz ended sooner than anticipated. The Spanish team’s run in Malaga ended on Day 1 against the Netherlands, despite the young Spanish champion’s desire to help Spain win the Davis Cup Finals. All of the Spanish team members were extremely disappointed because Rafael Nadal’s career came to an end at the Davis Cup Finals. Alcaraz’s next objective is to improve his consistency throughout the season in order to move closer to Jannik Sinner’s top spot in the ATP rankings. In the final tournaments of the season, Carlos’ ups and downs were the key factor that allowed…
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been warned against making a move to Real Madrid next summer. Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit believes the vice-captain “can become one of the best players in Liverpool history” if he commits his long-term future to the club. Alexander-Arnold’s Anfield terms expire at the end of the season and he is less than two months away from being able to speak to clubs outside of England about a pre-contract agreement, with Real Madrid heavily linked. Reports from Spain have been circulating since the summer about the current Champions League holders’ interest in the Reds’ No.66 but Petit, who…
This summer was noticeably quiet, with just Federico Chiesa coming through the door, who has been predominantly injured during his stay so far, while Giorgi Mamardashvili is not set to arrive until next season as part of a condition of his transfer. And in addition to the lack of transfers on the Red side of Merseyside, there also exists the possibility of a mass exodus, as Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil Van Dijk still have uncertain futures as a result of the stalled ongoing contract negotiations with Liverpool executives. Each player will be allowed to enter talks with other…
Paul Merson has issued a stark warning to Liverpool, suggesting that the unresolved contract situations of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk could create a “toxic” atmosphere at Anfield. As it stands, all three players’ contracts are set to expire at the end of the season, with negotiations ongoing between Liverpool and each player’s representatives. The future of these key players remains uncertain, with speculation rife about their next moves. The Liverpool ECHO reported in September that Salah is keen to extend his stay at Liverpool, while Alexander-Arnold has been linked with Real Madrid and Van Dijk’s future…
The Reds lead the way in the English top flight having swiftly embraced Arne Slot’s tactical philosophy and have tasted defeat just once across all competitions this term. They have a busy week ahead with visits from Real Madrid and Manchester City but the Merseyside club have shown their ability to tangle with the best and brightest this term. Southampton should pose less threat to Liverpool but are themselves desperate for points in their bid to beat the drop. Any complacency will be punished by the Saints, even if they do sit rock bottom of the standings. Here is how…
Liverpool are back in action on Sunday after the November international break with a trip to St Mary’s to meet Southampton in the Premier League. Arne Slot’s side sit top of the table after an impressive opening three months of the season and face the league’s bottom club. And the Dutchman will answer questions from journalists ahead of the game on Friday morning when he takes his usual pre-match press conference at the AXA Training Centre. On the agenda will be a number of fitness concerns. Diogo Jota has been sidelined since picking up an upper body injury during the…
2023 fifth-round pick Henry To’oTo’o exceeded expectations for the Houston Texans as a rookie. He recorded 61 tackles with two going for a loss. This year, he was inserted into the starting lineup and has continued to play well. He’s played in nine games and has started each of them. He’s alreaded surpassed his numbers from last year with 63 tackles, six for a loss, and one sack. Despite this, he saw his snap count drop in Week 11. He recorded at least 50 in each game he’s appeared in since Week 1 and had a season-high 64 against the…
Jarrett Patterson has been lights-out for Texans since moving into lineup The Houston Texans offensive line has performed much better with Jarrett Patterson in the lineup. By Randy Gurzi | Nov 22, 2024 When Kenyon Green suffered a season-ending shoulder injury, the Houston Texans shook up their offensive line. They moved Juice Scruggs from center to left guard, in place of Green. They then brought Jarrett Patterson in at center. Through two games, this move has paid off with the sixth-round pick from 2023 peforming at a high level. Against Detroit, Patterson earned a 65.9 pass block grade, far superior…
The Houston Texans are back on track. With superstar wide receiver Nico Collins back in the lineup, the Texans rolled into the DFW and stomped the Dallas Cowboys 34-10 in Jerry’s World. The return of Collins certainly opened things up for C.J. Stroud and the rest of Houston’s offense. In all fairness, bringing back a player who led the NFL in receiving yards prior to his injury might just do that. In Week 12, there could be another big return for the Texans. After suffering an injury against the New York Jets, Will Anderson Jr. was sidelined. He was able…
