Checo fever hits Mexico City

Mexico City: Home to 21 million people and the sixth-largest city in the world. It lies at an altitude of 2 240 metres above sea level, and it is the oldest capital city in the Americas. But what Wikipedia won’t tell you, is just how many of Mexico City’s 21 million inhabitants will be screaming their lungs out when home-town hero Sergio Perez takes to the track for Sunday’s Mexico City Grand Prix. Then again, only two people have recorded three wins in Mexico: Jim Clark in 1962, 1963 and 1967; and one Max Verstappen, in 2017, 2018 and 2021. In Spanish, Checo is short for Sergio, simple as that.”Let’s hope, for Checo’s sake, that things go well in Mexico this weekend.

Fritz got his country away to a flyer with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over world number 74 Jiri Lehecka at Ken Rosewall Arena before Keys saw off Marie Bouzkova 6-4, 6-3. Fritz had too much firepower for Lehecka, facing only two break points on his way to a comfortable 75-minute win. "I think in the beginning of the match I handled it much better than maybe my opponent did.
