Daniil Medvedev bounced back from his early exit in Miami with a hard-fought win on Monday, when he overcame Karen Khachanov to get his clay season underway at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.

The 29-year-old, who dropped out of the Top 10 in the PIF ATP Rankings following his opening-round exit in Miami, recovered from squandering a 5-1 advantage in the first set to lead before he lost a 4-1 advantage in the second set, with Khachanov winning the majority of the lengthy exchanges to force a decider.

With little to separate them, Medvedev combined heavy baseline hitting with good use of the drop shot in the decider to record a 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 win after two hours and 51 minutes.

Medvedev is chasing his first title since Rome in 2023, when he won on clay at the ATP Masters 1000. With his victory against Khachanov, Medvedev avenged his defeat to the 28-year-old at last year’s event in The Principality.

He now leads Khachanov 7-2 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series and will next play Alexandre Muller after the Frenchman beat Argentine qualifier Camilo Ugo Carabelli 6-4, 6-4.

It All Adds Up

Matteo Berrettini held a 15-1 record on clay last season, winning titles in Marrakech, Gstaad and Kitzbuhel. Making his first appearance on the surface this year, the Italian moved past Argentine Mariano Navone 6-4, 6-4 to reach the second round in Monte-Carlo.

Berrettini was aggressive on return throughout the one-hour, 48-minute clash, winning 61 per cent of points on Navone’s second serve and breaking five times, according to Infosys ATP Stats.

The No. 34 in the PIF ATP Rankings, Berrettini arrived in Monte-Carlo off the back of a run to the quarter-finals in Miami, his first at ATP Masters 1000 level since 2021. Berrettini’s reward for his opening win in Monte-Carlo is a second-round blockbuster clash with top seed Alexander Zverev.

Zverev leads Berrettini 4-2 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series but the Italian won their most recent meeting at Wimbledon in 2023.

Former finalist Alejandro Davidovich Fokina moved past Ben Shelton 6-7(2), 6-2, 6-1. The Spaniard, who reached the title match in The Principality in 2022, has reached tour-level finals in Delray Beach and Acapulco this year.

New Sarasota High volleyball coach wants to change Sailors direction

Sarasota County has produced some of the state’s best volleyball over the past decade.

Cardinal Mooney, Riverview and Venice high schools have each made it to the final four in the past 10 years, with the Cougars (one) and Indians (two) bringing home state championships. 

Sarasota High, however, could not tap into that local success. The Sailors haven’t made it to the regional round of postseason play since 2015 and have never played in a regional final. 

New Sarasota volleyball Head Coach Emma Thrift hopes to change that. 

Thrift knows Sarasota volleyball better than most. 

She played both indoor and beach volleyball at Riverview and has coached with Sarasota Volleyball Club — an AAU and travel organization — since she was a senior in high school. 

After routinely beating the Sailors in her high school days, the challenge of going to the rival excites Thrift.

“It’s exciting to be on the other side,” Thrift said. “It fuels the fire a little bit more. It feels like I have something to prove.”

In the Sailors’ 10-11 season, Riverview eliminated Sarasota in its first district tournament game. 

That leaves plenty of room for improvement, but Thrift is focusing more on the intangibles than the record.

“Success for me this season would be building a solid culture and foundation,” Thrift said. “It’s not about winning, winning, winning. It’s about having them grow. Even if they lose, I want it to be five sets, close games, extra points every time. I don’t want it to be a 3-0 sweep. I would still count that as a win. Set wins are wins to me. When we see that growth in the season, that will set us up really well in the long term.”

Thrift, 23, graduated from Florida State University in 2024, but isn’t inexperienced in coaching. 

She has coached with Sarasota Volleyball Club, SRQ Beach Volleyball and The Classical Academy of Sarasota.

However, she is well aware she will be one of the youngest head varsity coaches in the state this season, and she’s planning on using that to her advantage. 

“I try to relate to them a little more because they’re still in high school,” Thrift said. “They’re going through the hardest part of their life right now. I feel like a lot of coaches as they get older kind of dismiss that, whereas I was more recently in their shoes. They want to feel respected and feel like they’re being heard, and I feel like I’m able to communicate that with them.” 

Despite Sarasota’s record and postseason result last year, Thrift should have some talent to work with this fall. 

Kills leader Liza Collier, a rising junior, is set to enter her junior season while Braelynn Rebholz, third in kills, will be a senior. 

Blocks leader Gemma Mulhollen is entering her junior season and ace leader Rylan Miller will be a senior.

The work for next season has already begun.

Thrift held her first summer workout on June 9 at the school, and said roughly 50 players — including freshman, junior varsity and varsity — showed up, with more expected to come later in the summer. 

June will focus on building stamina and mental strength. Thrift intends on the Sailors playing deep into matches, which will require fortitude. That means cardio work on the track, high-repetition weightlifting and time on the court. 

Perhaps more important than strength and conditioning will be creating a team-first culture. Thrift said she can’t remember the players who were on the freshman and junior varsity teams when she was a varsity player. 

Instead, she wants an all-inclusive environment to encourage players to stay with the team through graduation. 

“What I really want to build right now is good culture,” Thrift said. “I want this team to be one unit. I don’t want freshman, JV, varsity. I want Sarasota volleyball. I feel like it didn’t really build a positive culture, and I want longevity.

“I know they can be great. I just need them to understand that they can be great as well.”

EUGENE, ORE. – Greg Foster earned First Team All-America honors in the long jump as Princeton began competition at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene on Wednesday.

On day one of the four-day championship meet, Joe Licata also made the Second Team All-America in the shot put. 

In the semifinal events, Harrison Witt and Sam Rodman advanced to the finals of the 1500m and the 800m, respectively, with Rodman setting a new program record in the 800m. 

Foster secured First Team All-American status by taking seventh place with a jump of 7.80m/25-7¼”. The competition marked the junior’s third NCAA Championship appearance and first All-America distinction. 

Licata made his NCAA debut in the shot put, finishing 13th with a mark of 18.93m/62-1¼” to earn him Second Team All-America honors. 

Rodman, making his fifth trip to NCAAs, qualified for Friday’s 800m final running a new personal best time of 1:46.27. The mark broke his own school record in the event for the second time this season, as Rodman smashed his own 2022 record just weeks ago with a time of 1:46.85 at the Princeton Elite. 

In the 1500m, Witt cruised into Friday’s final with a 3:41.98 finish for third place in semifinal two. His time was also third overall. With the performance, Witt, a 2025 indoor Second Team All-America honoree in the mile, made his third NCAA Championship appearance this academic year and fourth all-time. 

Up Next

The Tigers will look ahead to Friday as Witt and Rodman compete in their respective finals, and Casey Helm competes in the discus championship. Helm will kick off the action for the Tigers at 2:15 p.m. PST, with Witt and Rodman’s races taking place at 5:12 p.m. and 6:14 p.m.

EUGENE, Ore. – Senior Nathan Green unlocked quite a rare achievement as he advanced to a fourth consecutive NCAA final at 1,500-meters, moving through his semifinal heat as the NCAA Outdoor Championships kicked off at Hayward Field. Green will try to extend UW’s winning streak in the event to four when he runs his final race as a Dawg on Friday.

 

Green earned a fourth-straight trip to the NCAA finals by successfully battling through a semifinal heat that went out slow for two laps before closing in a hurry, which put even more stress on finishing in the top-five and leaving nothing up to chance. The 2023 NCAA Champion was up in the front nearly the entire race, and he had the lead with about a thousand meters to go and held it nearly the rest of the way. He kept up the pace down the homestretch to make sure he stayed in the top group, and he came across the line in third overall in 3:52.19.

 
Senior Kyle Reinheimer came up just one spot shy of advancing to the men’s 800-meters final. He took third in his semi in 1:47.32, with only the top two guaranteed to move on. Reinheimer’s time would wind up 12th overall as he capped his stellar year with Second Team All-America honors both outdoors and indoors.
 
Another one year Husky grad student, Scott Toney, fell just a few spots shy of the podium. Toney had three clearances in the pole vault today, making 17-0, then 17-5 3/4, and 17-9 3/4 on a first attempt. But Toney couldn’t quite leave the bar standing at 18-1 3/4, going out after three attempts. He would finish 11th overall for Second Team All-America honors.
 
Thursday, the UW women’s team will get underway, with six Huskies slated to compete. The women’s 1,500-meters semis start at 4:21 p.m. with Chloe Foerster, Amina Maatoug, and Sophie O’Sullivan. Amanda and Hana Moll will look to cap their sophomore collegiate seasons on top in the pole vault at 4:35, and then Maggie Liebich runs the steeplechase semi at 4:38 p.m.
