DAKAR, Senegal — Angel Polo poured everything she had for a remarkable 9.250-point performance in Taijiquan, but it wasn’t enough for a podium finish in women’s Taijiquan combined of wushu in the 4th YOG at the Dakar Exhibition Center in Diamiando.

MANILA, Philippines — Seeking a quarterfinal spot at the WTA 250 Hong Kong Open, Filipino sensation Alex Eala looks to finally solve the puzzle that is Czech Tereza Valentova on Thursday. The time and court assignment for the second round clash between the 21-year-old Eala and 19-year-old Valentova at the Victoria Park Tennis Stadium were not yet available as of writing. World No. 17 and tournament No. 2 seed Eala topped lucky loser and world No. 132 Emerson Jones of Australia, 6-4, 6-3, to begin her campaign last Tuesday. On the same day, world No. 85 Valentova dispatched Japanese and world No. 129 Himenu Sakatusume in their first round clash, 6-3, 7-5. While Eala has a higher ranking and a main Tour title (500 D.C. Open), she has failed to beat Valentova in their two encounters. Eala yielded to Valentova first at the 250 Osaka first round, 1-6, 2-6, in October last year. The Filipino fell to the Czech anew at the 1000 Doha Open first round, 6(6)-7, 1-6, last February.
One year after she “hated myself on the court”, a more content Maria Sakkari said it was “kind of irrelevant” whether she recaptured the form that propelled her to world No 3 and into two grand slam semi-finals. The Greek, who will face Maya Joint in round two of the Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open on Wednesday, tumbled down the rankings after she sustained a serious shoulder injury during the 2024 US Open. On her return in early 2025, Sakkari’s form dipped to the point that she found herself...
