| Bayern beat Hoffenheim to maintain perfect start Posted: 06 Oct 2012 08:53 AM PDT BERLIN, Oct 6 – Bayern Munich made it seven wins out of seven in the Bundesliga today as two goals from Franck Ribery led them to a one-sided 2-0 win over a toothless Hoffenheim. Having slumped to a shock defeat at BATE Borisov in the Champions League on Tuesday, Bayern barely broke sweat in a tepid encounter at the Allianz Arena. Dutchman Ibrahim Affelay scored his first goal for Schalke 04 in their 3-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg, who are managed by Schalke's former coach Felix Magath, and Hamburg SV continued their climb up the table by winning 1-0 at Greuther Fuerth. Bayern are top with 21 points, five ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt, who visit Borussia Moenchengladbach tomorrow, while Schalke are third with 14. – Reuters |
| Djokovic to meet Tsonga in China final Posted: 06 Oct 2012 07:45 AM PDT BEIJING, Oct 6 – Top seed Serb Novak Djokovic brushed aside German Florian Mayer today to set up a final clash with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the China Open. World number two Djokovic beat Mayer 6-1 6-4 in the semi-final to stay on course for his third successive title in Beijing. "He's been playing really well," Djokovic said about his opponent for tomorrow's final. "There's no secrets between each other, between us. I mean, we (have) played many times, played a lot of important matches on the big stage. "He's a very powerful player, big serve, big forehand, and if that works, he can win against anybody on any surface, to be honest. "So there is no clear favourite, I think, in tomorrow's match. We have both been winning quite comfortably. It's going to be a good final hopefully for the tournament." Frenchman Tsonga kept alive his hopes of qualifying for November's season-ending World Tour finals in London when he reached the final after Feliciano Lopez retired with a wrist injury while trailing 6-1 4-1 in the first semi-final. "I played really well," third seed Tsonga told reporters after reaching his 15th Tour final. "I felt really good on the court. I'm just happy today with my game. I'm sure I will play good tennis in final." – Reuters |
