Again, there was a tiebreak, this time going to 11-9 for Evans. He is in good form, having reached the final of the recent tournament in Rotterdam, where he beat Karen Khachanov before losing to Gael Monfils. Evans has been in two ATP finals previously (losing both) but that was in the ATP 250 Series.
As football games are played behind closed doors, football figures contract the disease, and some countries enter lockdown, it is tough to see how far the disruption will go. Paper Round’s view: The coronavirus is a deadly event and there is no sign that it has even reached its peak. The economic damage it can do with its disruption is enormous, but if it is not properly handled then it will do even more damage to humanity.
Godoy Cruz is very weak in defense, they have a lot of losses in this start of the season but their last 5 games they started scoring goals even when they lose and they were all games with over 2.5 goals scored in them.
Barcelona's Arturo Vidal looks dejected with Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne and Barcelona coach Quique Setien after being shown a red card by refereeReuters TALKING POINT Were Napoli too defensive? In simple terms, this was catenaccio versus tiki-taka. But there are plenty who will feel that Napoli, as the home side, should have taken greater risks.
LONDON, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Even when Liverpool are not in action they continue to bolster their seemingly impregnable Premier League lead and it happened again on Saturday as second-placed Manchester City could only draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium. Fernandinho's 90th-minute own goal robbed them of victory and left Pep Guardiola's side 13 points behind Liverpool who have played two games less and who can stretch their advantage to 16 if they beat Manchester United on Sunday.
In Sweden, Goteborg and Mjallby are meeting today in an Allsvenskan match which will be held at Gamla Ullevi stadium, Gothenburg city. This competition started recently and so far, Goteborg has won 1 match and lost 1 while Mjallby has lost all the first 2 matches. Goteborg won with over 2.5 goals.
CVC executives were also recently approached by Real Madrid President Florentino Perez to create a rival annual competition featuring top clubs from around the world, the FT reported. The report said one option under consideration is creating two leagues of 20 teams each, with eight of those teams possibly including the founding clubs behind the World Football Club Association (WFCA) which is presided over by Perez.
Sunderland boss Peter Reid paired Kevin Phillips and Niall Quinn together in the ultimate little and large striker partnership. Phillips bagged 30 goals to win the Golden Boot and the European Golden Shoe as the Mackems, having stormed to the Division One title with 105 points the previous season, continued their form in the top flight to finish a very credible seventh. Best of the rest. Sheffield United need three points from their final two games to match Wolves' tally of 57 points last season, although that might not be enough to equal their seventh-placed finish.
Meanwhile, Roma’s record in the Coppa Italia doesn’t inspire much confidence. The visitors come here having lost their last three away trips in this competition, including an incredible 7-1 mauling at the hands of Fiorentina last term. For one of Italy’s biggest sides, a run of four wins in 90 minutes from 11 cup games is quite disappointing. Now they are on the road to a Parma side who have built up momentum at home.
Manchester City won't be winning the Premier League but they still have the FA Cup and Champions League to play for. They are in top form with eight goals in their last two games and will cause plenty of problems for Chelsea. The home side struggled to get a win at Aston Villa and have lost five home league games this season. Go for City to get a win here.
More here. Women's football to receive no FA support The Football Association so far has no plans to give the women's game, including the Women's Championship and Women's Super League, any financial assistance to cope with the leagues' closure.

I have a contract here until 2022," Rodgers told reporters ahead of Wednesday's match against bottom club Watford. I gave an honest answer about how all managers have some sort of clause in their contracts and suddenly that seems to have thrown a door wide open. Thus far I know managers are losing their jobs, the club have not indicated to me that they are going to sack me.
Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde says he preferred the old format of the Spanish Super Cup and that the competition is only being held in Saudi Arabia because of the money on offer. The competition has been reformatted to include the two top in La Liga and the finalists in the Copa del Rey. It is normally played in August between the league and cup winners. The bottom line is football has become a business and as a business it looks for income," Valverde said.
Paper Round’s view: There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all solution to this. If some players are worried about their own financial futures then it doesn't seem right they should have to contribute as much as some of the highest earners in the league. Overseas players want support for their countries The idea of building up a fund to help the NHS has been hampered by the desires of some overseas Premier League players to help health services in their home countries.
Roll on December 29 when these two meet in the league again. GARY NEVILLE CALLING IT AS IT IS Gary Neville is absolutely right on the below. The 'stick to football' brigade were always going to wade in on this one but Neville's point is pretty inarguable. The basics of the argument are that football crowds are a microcosm of society and society is currently a cesspit.
Matteo Guendouzi returns to the squad after being dropped for the Gunners' 4-0 win over Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday. The 20-year-old French midfielder was reported to have had a heated row with Gunners manager Mikel Arteta and members of his coaching staff during a mid-season training camp in Dubai. Guendouzi could find himself in contention for a starting role against Olympiakos as Lucas Torreira is temporarily sidelined for the trip to Greece due to illness.
Australia will face China, Chinese Taipei and Thailand over seven days. The Matildas need to finish first or second in the group to progress to the next stage of qualifying, a two-leg play-off to reach Tokyo 2020. BBC Sport has launched #ChangeTheGame to showcase female athletes in a way they never have been before. Through more live women's sport available to watch across the BBC, complemented by our journalism, we are aiming to turn up the volume on women's sport and alter perceptions.
On the face of it, this clash is an obvious opportunity for the hosts. Pyramids are sitting high in seventh place in the Premier League table, while they are hosting a side on course for the drop. Wadi Degla are second-bottom, which should put them on their way to another defeat here.
La Paillade's home form going into this one is rather exciting. Der Zakarian's men have won seven of their last eight games at the Stade de la Mosson with 17 goals scored and six conceded in this time. The stadium has been a real force for them this season and it could prove an extremely tricky obstacle for PSG in this one.
Defending league champions City are 16 points behind Liverpool -- who have a game in hand -- and Guardiola said he could not afford to be distracted by Juergen Klopp's side who have recorded the best run of form in Premier League history. We cannot deny that Liverpool are extraordinary in terms of football and results," Guardiola told reporters.
Video footage showed Dier climbing over seats and confronting a home fan before he was restrained by security guards and other fans. He was eventually led away. It is believed his brother was in the section where the incident happened and Dier could be heard saying "he's my brother" in video footage posted on social media.
Even if the 2019/20 season is completed by July or August, the following campaign would not be able to start until September or October, to give players some rest. A late start to the domestic season could make it difficult for 2020/21 to reach a conclusion before the European Championship, perhaps forcing the way for some sort of truncated season.

Southampton said that players, coaches and the board of directors deferring their salary will "help protect the future of the club, the staff that work within it and the community we serve". Over the past few weeks, there has been considerable pressure on Premier League players, including from leading politicians, to take pay cuts. But Ward-Prowse, who has two England caps, said: "It was never about doing it quickly or facing any pressure, it was about making sure we made the right decision for the people and the community and we definitely have done that.
The last time Schmeichel had done something similar, against Arsenal 14 months earlier, he pulled his hamstring trying to get back and missed the European Cup defeat to Monaco three days later. Schmeichel’s gesture was in keeping with Ferguson’s philosophy that United might as well lose 2-0 as 1-0. Perhaps Ferguson’s unimpressed response was because he felt it compromised the dignity with which he wanted to accept defeat.
But even the newest of new leaves can be scuppered by the minor irritations of a pandemic the like of which we haven’t seen in 100 years. At the weekend Grealish could apparently cope with the isolation no more and took a trip out that we’re going to file under ‘non-essential’. Of course we don’t know the exact circumstances, but what we do know is that a big white Range Rover ended up crashing into a couple of parked cars, and that Grealish was ‘at the scene’.

The match is coming back to welcome the opponent just to be defeated before the host should be confident to head for 3 points for themselves. After the unexpected victory against Wolfsberger AC, TSV Hartberg returned to his frail face when he lost to Sturm Graz 1-2 right at home in the last round.

Brest currently sit 12th in the league but this has been somewhat of a statistical anomaly so far as they have very rarely put in the type of performance that warrants that position on the table. Les Ty'Zefs have created the third least chances and conceded the second most but have still managed to dig deep and get wins even when the numbers have gone against them. A fine example of this was their 1-0 win over Angers when they pulled off and incredible smash-and-grab to beat les Scoïstes despite having their backs against the wall for most of the match.
And they could hardly have had a tougher first assignment than against City, who completed the double over them with this win, at an aggregate score of 12-0 - a joint Premier League record for one team against another in a single season. Sterling took the game away from the home side before half-time, firing in a rising shot to open the scoring before doubling the advantage by following up his own saved penalty - awarded for a foul on him by Will Hughes.
Vitkovice and Zizkov will face each other in the upcoming match in the Division 2 in Czech Republic. Vitkovice this season have the following results: 2W, 4D and 11L.

But it's alright, our guys are strong mentally. They performed regardless of what happened. Their hotel issued a statement saying the team had shown up before the standard check-in time. Even the host nation's athletes have had problems, with the Philippine women's team cramming four or five players to a room designed for two people.
Leicester put nine past Southampton All three of Vardy's goals came in the second half of the 9-0 win at SouthamptonGiven how Southampton have played since the restart in June, it is hard to believe they were on the end of a defeat earlier in the season that almost went into double figures. Back in October, Leicester ran riot as Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy both scored hat-tricks in a 9-0 win. It was an embarrassing scoreline at the time and put the Saints into the relegation zone, but in many ways it proved the making of them.
Emma Hayes' Chelsea, last winners in 2018 and still chasing a domestic treble in 2020, earned their place in the last eight thanks to Guro Reiten's smartly taken first-half volley which was enough to end the hopes of fellow WSL side Liverpool. The Reds proved tough to break down defensively but failed to generate enough chances in attack to trouble Blues goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger. By contrast, their Merseyside rivals Everton were far more comfortable down in the West Country, racing into a 3-0 first-half lead over Bristol City thanks to a double from Lucy Graham and Esme Morgan's header.
It is true that we didn’t sign a centre-back in the summer of 2018 and it is true there was a difference of opinion on one or two players between the manager and the recruitment department,” Woodward said. Sometimes I have to be one who delivers the ‘no’, which isn’t easy. Our natural tendency is to back the manager in every possible circumstance.
