Barca is waiting for the captain to return For the blue pomegranates, another trip without Messi did not bode well.

The first period of perestroika (the former leaders became old, the new ones did not appear), the Parisians were restless inside the team in the camp, and the "spurs"...

This year, the chance to visit one of the most famous museums in the world fell to the Italian Matteo Berrettini, who took his entire team - manager, fitness coach, and physiotherapist - with him. Jannik Sinner, the youngest participant of the tournament in St. Petersburg, had lost the first round match to Mikhail Kukushkin in two sets the day before, but on Tuesday,...
