A point from Roy in 19th consecutive game

Sherbrooke Phoenix signed a 2-1 win over Oceanic on penalties Wednesday night, good for their sixth straight win.

After 1-0, Joshua Roy scored for Serbrook 2:35 from the end of regular time to equalize the game and force the overtime. Hope for the Montreal Canadiens, Roy thus won a point in 19th consecutive game.

Shortly before, goalkeeper Gabriel Robert had made a misplaced removal trying to score in an empty net, which was a little misplaced.

Only on penalties, after the goal of his teammate Xavier Parent, Roy’s attempt failed against Robert. Mathis Gauthier responded for Rimouski, but Sherbrooke goalkeeper Ivan Zhigalov closed the door on the next three shots as Justin Gill scored the decisive goal in the fifth round.

William Dumoulin opened the scoring after 7 minutes in the first period, in power play but stopped in the penalty shootout.

Roy was considered to have equalized the score in the middle of the third period, hitting a Xavier parent’s lob on the fly. Officials, however, ruled that the disc was hit higher than allowed.

Robert made 30 saves, seven more than Ivan Zigalov, who managed to stop Cam Thompson.

Rochette takes the measure of Cats

Théo Rochette scored two goals and provided two assists in a 5-2 victory for the Quebec Remparts over the Shawinigan Cataractes in a match between the two best teams in the QMJHL.

The Waterfalls, which suffered a second consecutive defeat, were twice ahead in this meeting. William Veillette opened the scoring for Shawinigan with his ninth of the season at 13:22 on the first penalty.

Quebec quickly tied the game in second place at Nathan Gaucher 22nd.

Alexis Bonefon, with his seventh season, replaced Katarraktis in advance.

The rest of the attack was handled by Patrick Roy’s men. Olivier Coulomb equalized 2-2.

Rochette with his first, Zachary Bolduc and again Rochette in power play put the last nail in the coffin of the Cataractes.

Zachary Gravel and Louis Crevier each had two assists in the win.

Kyrgios wins ‘Battle of the Sexes’ against Sabalenka

(Paris) Nick Kyrgios won the exhibition match presented as a new episode of the “Battle of the Sexes” against Aryna Sabalenka on Sunday in Dubai.

The rules had been modified to balance the debates, the Australian playing on a field 9% larger than the Belarusian, which immediately made any interpretation of the result difficult. Furthermore, the two opponents only had one serving ball.

Kyrgios, former Wimbledon finalist (2022) fell beyond 650e world number one, who is preparing to make yet another return to the circuit at the age of 30, won 6-3, 6-3, against the world No.1 without running much or hitting the ball very hard, without us knowing if it was because the field opposite was smaller or for other reasons.

The title of the event referred to another “Battle of the Sexes”, which in 1973 pitted former American champion Bobby Riggs, then aged 55, against the two best players of the time, Margaret Court Smith and then Billie Jean King.

At that time, it was about women asserting their worth while their professional circuit was being organized and King’s victory over Riggs, who had initially dominated Court Smith, had a certain impact.

Nothing like this this time, because women’s tennis is firmly established, as shown, among other things, by the equality of winnings in major tournaments.

This return still attracted 17,000 spectators to Dubai, including celebrities like Brazilian footballer Ronaldo, who did not attend a major tennis match.

The Australian seemed to control the situation and allowed himself some fantasies like a spoon serve (winning), a weapon he had already used in serious matches.
