Berrettini, Ruud, Rublev make winning starts
The pandemic-delayed fourth edition of the Laver Cup — and first without Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic — began on Friday with Team Europe taking a 3-1 lead over Team World thanks to singles victories from Matteo Berrettini, Casper Ruud and Andrey Rublev.
Italy’s Berrettini, runner-up to Djokovic at Wimbledon in July, saved 12 of 13 break-points and came back to edge Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in a match tiebreaker 6-7 (3), 7-5, [10-8].
That came after Norway’s Ruud broke American Reilly Opelka in the third game and again to end the opening set along the way to a 6-3, 7-6(4) victory.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
