Este viernes, el tenista suizo Roger Federer puso fin a su prestigiosa carrera deportiva, a sus 41 años, con una derrota frente al dúo Jack Sock y Frances Tiafoe. Federer jugaba de pareja con el español Rafa Nadal en un choque de dobles masculino de la Copa Laver, disputada en Londres, Reino Unido. El partido se decidió con un desempate de 11-9. La superestrella había anunciado la semana pasada que se retiraba del tenis. Aún entre lágrimas, el 20 veces ganador del Grand Slam insistió en que “está feliz, no triste”, informó AS, este sábado.

Al final del partido, Federer disfrutó de un largo abrazo con su viejo rival, Nadal, antes de recibir una última ovación por parte de una multitud de pie que asistió al encuentro. “Mira, ha sido un día maravilloso. Les dije a los muchachos que estoy feliz, no estoy triste. Me siento genial estando aquí y he disfrutado atándome los cordones una vez más”, comentó.

“Siento como si esto fuera una celebración para mí”, agregó Federer. Luego, visiblemente emocionado agradeció a su esposa, Mirka (Miroslava ‘Mirka’ Federer, también extenista profesional suiza). “Mi esposa me ha apoyado tanto… podría haberme detenido hace mucho, mucho tiempo, pero no lo hizo. Ella me mantuvo en marcha y me permitió jugar, así que gracias. Ella es asombrosa”.

Saturday’s live racing card at Caymanas Park is scheduled to take place despite a tropical storm watch in effect for Jamaica.

“Racing will go ahead today as scheduled,” said Denzil Miller, racing secretary, supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Limited (SVREL). “The management team is monitoring the storm and a decision is to be made for Sunday’s meet.”

The day will feature the Menudo Trophy in which Jason DaCosta’s in-form American, I AM FRED, who pulled off a giant-killing act, out finishing speedy MAHOGANY at six furlongs in the None Such Trophy at six furlongs two weeks ago, will renew rivalry with Gary Subratie’s CALCULUS.

This time around, last year’s Jamaica Derby winner, CALCULUS, who won nine furlongs and 25 yards easily, clocking 1:55.2 in sloppy conditions, should turn the tables at 10 furlongs on a battle-weary I AM FRED.

DaCosta’s battle with defending champion trainer Anthony Nunes to retain his lead atop the stakes standings has forced I AM FRED back into action, running 10lb heavier, two weeks after a tough race against MAHOGANY, which he won in 1:11.3.

I AM FRED could be forced into an early duel with course-specialist CALCULUS, who is five pounds lighter and after galloping an easy six furlongs in 1:15.3 with rider Shane Ellis last Sunday morning.

When beating CALCULUS in June, I AM FRED had the help of his light stablemates, BILLY WHIZZ who set the fractions for him to attack in the straight after getting first run on CALCULUS.

BIG JULE, another of CALCULUS’ old rivals, returns off a two-month lay-up after recording an easy victory at nine furlongs and 25 yards on July 16. However, that was against weak line-up, lacking the class of CALCULUS, who had beaten him into in last year’s Jamaica Derby.

The Menudo Trophy is the eighth of 10 events scheduled. First post is 11:30 am.

Police are investigating the death of Omar Oselmo, a 37-year-old miner of North-West District, Region One (Barima-Waini) who died after a sand wall collapsed on him.

The incident occurred at about 18:00h on Thursday at Sand Hill Backdam, Cuyuni River, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni).

When police ranks visited the scene, the body was seen in an old dug out pit next to a wall of sand, which appeared to have collapsed.

Enquiries revealed that Oselmo is employed by a mining operation at Sandhill Backdam.

On the day in question, Oselmo and his co-workers finished working for the day and went to camp. Then at about 18:00h, the victim returned to the workground to ‘punt’ and suddenly the walls of the pit caved in on him trapping him in the process.

His co-workers heard his scream and rushed to his assistance, but they did not see him.

As a result, they began digging and later found Oselmo’s motionless body beneath the sand.

The body was removed, and the Police notified.

The body was examined and no mark of violence was seen. The scene was processed and photographed, and statements taken.

The body was later escorted to the Bartica Regional Hospital where it was pronounced dead on arrival. The body was thereafter escorted to the Bartica Regional Hospital’s Mortuary for storage awaiting PME.

Investigation in progress.
