GIANLUIGI BUFFON ON THOMAS N'KONO



Gianluigi Buffon 🇮🇹: "When I was young, an legendary figure appeared in my life. Thomas N'Kono, the goalkeeper of the Cameroon national team 🇨🇲. I saw him play during the 1990 World Cup in Italy 🇮🇹. I remember the first match against Argentina 🇦🇷, where Cameroon won thanks to his saves. Everyone was watching Maradona or Roger Milla, but I was fascinated by him. That day, I decided to become a goalkeeper, and I even decided to name my son 👨 Thomas."

OLDEST LIVING FRENCH MEDALIST GETS ANOTHER CHANCE TO SHINE AT PARIS 2024


 Charles Coste did not get to hear "La Marseillaise" when he stood on top of the podium at the 1948 Summer Games in London, but France's oldest living Olympic medallist will get another moment in the spotlight when he carries the Paris 2024 torch.

Coste, who turns 100 on Thursday, won a track cycling Olympic gold in the team pursuit with Pierre Adam, Serge Blusson and Fernand Decanali.

His record also includes the 1949 Grand Prix des Nations, a 140-km time trial in which he beat Italian Fausto Coppi, a Tour de France and Giro d'Italia champion.

Coste's gold is framed along with others, notably a medal he received from then President Vincent Auriol, in a room in his apartment in the Paris suburbs.

SINNER STUNS DJOKOVIC THE DOUBLES UP TO SEND ITALY INTO DAVIS CUP FINAL

Reuters 

Italy returned to the Davis Cup final after a gap of 25 years as Jannik Sinner beat Novak Djokovic in both singles and doubles to secure a 2-1 victory over Serbia on Saturday that earned the 1976 champions a title clash with Australia.

Sinner and doubles partner Lorenzo Sonego beat the Serbian duo of Djokovic and Miomir Kecmanovic 6-3 6-4 to secure a famous victory that sent the former champions packing and sparked wild celebrations at a heaving Martin Carpena Arena in Spain.

Up next for Filippo Volandri's side, who will be playing in an eighth final and seeking a second trophy, are 28-times champions Australia after Lleyton Hewitt's team eased past giant-killers Finland on Friday.

Sinner earlier saved three matchpoints to stun Djokovic 6-2 2-6 7-5 in an extraordinary singles match to help Italy draw level with Serbia at 1-1 after Kecmanovic had put the 2010 champions ahead by beating Lorenzo Musetti 6-7(7) 6-2 6-1.

Sinner was facing Djokovic for the third time in 11 days and the world number four, who beat the top-ranked Serbian early in the ATP Finals before losing to him in the title clash, made a quick start to ease through the opening set with two breaks.

SERIE A: SASSUOLO VS SALERNITANA RECAP


ROME (AP) — Salernitana missed a golden opportunity to pick up its first win of the Italian league season on Friday when it gave up a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 away at Sassuolo.

The result was a big blow to Salernitana coach Filippo Inzaghi. The former Juventus and AC Milan striker has yet to win any of his four league games since taking charge in October and the club remains rooted to the bottom of the Serie A table with just five points from 12 games.

Salernitana is the 30th team in the history of the Serie A not to win any of its first 12 games in the league season. Of the previous 29, only three avoided relegation.
