Daniil Medvedev achieves a milestone in recent tennis history
The 25-year-old player reached a milestone in recent tennis history. With his position of number 2 in the ATP ranking, he became the only man since 2005 not named Federer, Nadal, Djokovic or Murray who has placed in this top-2. This achievement not only shows the dominance of the “big four” of tennis during the last two decades, but also the talent and potential of Medvedev.

Regrettable: racist comments against Colombians in the Argentine superclásico
"A lot of Colombians in the Superclásico, 5 Colombians on the field. I have nothing against them, but are Colombians cheap that you have to go and find them all in Colombia? And Cardona did not play, because there will be six" commented journalist Pablo Carroza in the program Fútbol Outsider.
Then he added "But what do they want to put together a reggueton band? Fabra, Campuzano, Villa, Carrascal, who uses the shirt that Ortega and 'Beto' Alonso wore, what a shame! And (Santos) Borré , five Colombians in a classic, that they go to play in Bogotá. I have nothing against them, I simply say that there are many ".
