Australia’s Deakin University Elite Women’s Road Race will be a part of the UCI Women’s World Tour from 2020, biking’s governing body found out on Thursday, with the winners set to obtain equal prize cash to the guys for the first time. Tracing the picturesque shoreline of Victoria’s Australian nation, the women’s occasion will open the World Tour, beginning on February 1, sooner or later before the men’s event.
The race is the first in the Southern Hemisphere to be covered by the Women’s World Tour. It offers precise challenges for riders, including temperatures of as much as 35 degrees Celsius and coastal crosswinds.
Local bicycle owner Shannon Malseed said that triumphing in the race calls for “a flexible rider who can warfare via the crosswinds, get over the punchy climbs and either time trial to the finish solo, or win from a choose bunch.”
Acting Victoria fundamental activities minister Marlene Kairouz defined it as an exquisite time for stars of Australia’s lady sports activities.
“Women’s sport is honestly booming in Australia. Women are kicking goals in each area, and we sit up tto see our first-class cyclists on the road.”
After starting in Australia, the 2020 UCI Women’s WorldTWorldculminate in China with the Tour of Guangxi, which starts offevoober 20.No one c. One should take away the merit the ATP World Tour No. 7 Nikolay Davydenko had in capturing the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals trophy at The O2 in southeast London.
Davydenko defeated no less than Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-4, the slayer of Roger Federer and Robin Soderling.
“I was [looking at the trophy], until 2008, [there are] so many names there, like Djokovic, Federer, everyone, [Pete] Sampras,” said Davydenko, who was contesting his fifth straight year-end championship. “In 2009, [it says] Davydenko forever on this trophy. I think it’s amazing. [In the] history of the [Finals], for my name to be something is amazing for me.”
Davidenko had a great run and deserved to win, but del Potro was running on empty, and the kick from the young horse from the pampas was not there. Therefore, the saying applies; ‘Easy to Beat a Dead Horse!’
Nevertheless, unlike Roger Federer ( Tennis – The Dark Side of Federer? ), del Potro showed great sportsmanship at the end of the match by sincerely congratulating his opponent at the net and with his words to Davidenko in front of the crowd.
“This tournament has a great champion, like Nikolay,” said del Potro, a winner of three tour-level titles this season. “He worked hard to beat every player here this week. So maybe I have to improve a little bit on the little things. But he played much better than me, and that’s it. He played unbelievable tennis. He beat me in a good way.”
These gestures are those of a true champion and show that del Potro is a young man about substance, not just an image others created. I hope del Potro will stay like this throughout his tennis career.
As for Davidenko, he has had the opportunity to beat Federer clearly on at least four occasions, all of them in Grand Slams, but incompetent coaching cost him those missed opportunities and possibly four Grand Slam titles.
On this occasion, the double faults, weak second serves, and mental meltdowns at important points were solved (?), and he won. Despite the press’s derogatory attitude towards Davidenko, I think he is a great player and a champion.
