Sept 25 (Reuters) - Penpix of the top men's contenders at the 2020 French Open (prefix denotes seeding): 2-Rafa Nadal (Spain) World ranking: 2 Born: June 3, 1986 (Age 34) Grand Slam titles: 19 (Australian Open 2009; French Open 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019; Wimbledon 2008, 2010; U.S. Open 2010, 2013, 2017, 2019) Best Roland Garros performance: Winner (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019) ATP career titles: 85 Nadal's quest to break Roger Federer's record of 20 Grand Slam titles hit a road bump when the COVID-19 pandemic suspended the season and postponed the French Open, his favourite major, to September. With novel coronavirus concerns prompting him to skip a trip to New York, all Nadal can hope for is to equal his injured Swiss rival's record at 20-20 in 2020 as he bids for a record-extending 13th title at Roland Garros. He looked off the pace in Rome in his first tournament back after seven months, losing in the quarter-finals in straight sets to Diego Schwartzman after he was broken five times, but said he knew exactly what he needed to fix before Paris. - 1-Novak Djokovic (Serbia) World ranking: 1 Born: May 22, 1987 (Age 33) Grand Slam titles: 17 (Australian Open 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] 2019, 2020); French Open 2016; Wimbledon 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019; U.S. Open (2011, 2015, 2018) Best Roland Garros performance: Winner (2016) ATP career titles: 81 Djokovic is yet to lose a match on court this year but had his perfect record in 2020 blemished by his U.S. Open default earlier this month when he inadvertently hit a line judge with the ball after a point. The Australian Open champion is hungry to redeem himself and end the year on a high, especially after his Adria [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] tournament amid the COVID-19 pandemic put him in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons as players tested positive. Despite winning 10 Masters titles on clay, Djokovic has won the Roland Garros crown only once in his career, falling at the final hurdle three times. But his superior fitness and his fifth title in Rome this week makes him a top contender. - 3-Dominic Thiem (Austria) World ranking: 3 Born: Sept. 3, 1993 (Age 27) Grand Slam titles: 1 (U.S. Open 2020) Best Roland Garros performance: Runner-up (2018, 2019) [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=ATP%20career&gs_l=news ATP career] titles: 17 Thiem was labelled the flag bearer for the next generation but fell short in three finals on the biggest stage until he finally got his break at Flushing Meadows this year, winning his first Grand Slam title days after turning 27. The Austrian baseliner, known for one of the most powerful single-handed backhands in the game, reached the final at Roland Garros the last two years only to lose against Nadal. Nevertheless, his groundstrokes and ability to win long rallies make clay the ideal surface for Thiem to win his second major. - 6-Alexander Zverev (Germany) World ranking: 7 Born: April 20, 1997 (Age 23) Grand Slam titles: 0 Best Roland Garros performance: Quarter-finals (2018, 2019) ATP career titles: 11 A mainstay in the top five in recent years, Zverev's stock fell until he reached this month's U.S. Open final where he was one set away from his first Grand Slam title before it all fell apart in the final against Thiem. Zverev relies on a fiery first serve and strong backhand while he also thrives on his powerful groundstrokes but the German lacks that same cutting edge on his second serve to pose a threat on clay. However, two Masters titles on clay and two quarter-final appearances at Roland Garros in the last two years will fill him with confidence heading into the final Grand Slam of the year. - 12-Diego Schwartzman (Argentina) World ranking: 13 Born: Aug. 16, 1992 (Age 28) Grand Slam titles: 0 Best Roland Garros performance: Quarter-finals (2018) ATP career titles: 3 Schwartzman missed the chance to break into the world's top-10 for the first time in his career when he lost to Djokovic in the final in Rome. However, the diminutive Argentine will take solace in the fact that he got the better of Nadal in the quarter-final. A counter-puncher who uses his speed and agility to cover the court well, Schwartzman's game is suited to claycourts where his defensive abilities come to the fore to create numerous attacking opportunities and passing shots.

Hungarian PM Orban Against New EU Migration Pact Over Hosting...

By Gabriela Baczynska and John Chalmers BRUSSELS, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday rejected a new migration plan by the European Union's executive, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] saying it would force Hungary to welcome aslyum seekers, but he welcomed some other elements of the proposal. Speaking in a Reuters interview a day after discussing migration in Brussels with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Orban said the devil was in the detail of the proposal over how to handle arrivals in the bloc, an issue that has long divided the EU. "There are some goods news and there are some problems that are still not solved," he said, speaking in an elegant, art-deco hotel in Brussels, where the EU's executive arm on Wednesday presented what it dubbed a "balanced" blueprint on migration. "Some taboos have disappeared," Orban said, in welcoming the strengthened focus on sending back to their countries of origin those who do not qualify for asylum in the EU. But he said asylum applications should be managed in "hotspots" outside of EU borders, something seen as all-but-impossible to do for legal and practical reasons, and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] that those who come to Europe's borders would otherwise be detained. Rights groups have long raised the alarm about Hungary detaining, refusing basic supplies like food or pushing back people arriving from Serbia. They say it runs against the right to claim asylum enshrined under international humanitarian law. Budapest has lost a number of legal cases on migration at the EU's top court since Orban adopted his hardline [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/policies policies] following a 2015 rise in Mediterranean arrivals that caught the bloc by surprise, contributing to a rise in far-right sentiment. But Orban, his black face mask with a little Hungarian flag embroidered on it resting on a coffee table, was unapologetic, saying people can apply for asylum in Hungarian embassies abroad, or face being locked up if they come to the border. "Nobody can step into the Hungarian territory without having a legally completed procedure and getting a clear permission to do so," he said. "Migration in Hungary is a national security issue." A former liberal and anti-communist crusader, who then studied in the West thanks to the financial support of an ally-turned-foe, Hungarian billionaire philantropist George Soros, Orban rejected the notion of a multi-cultural society. "In Hungary, we are very strict that we would not like to have a parallel society, or open society or a mixed-up culture," he said. "We don't think a mixture of Muslim and Christian society could be a peaceful one and could provide securtiy and good life for the people." "RATHER STUBBORN" Orban said migration - together with protecting what he sees as Europe's Christian cultural identity and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] its high living standards - was the top challenge today, just as overthrowing the Soviet-imposed communist regimes in eastern Europe was 30 years ago. He criticised the Commission's new migration plan for envisaging a possibility that Budapest's commitment to send people back from southern EU states of arrival like Italy or Greece could turn into an obligation to host them in Hungary. "That is a very problematic point. It's not good, it's rather bad," he said. "It's nothing else but just renamed relocation. And we always reject relocation." While Orban said it was too early to consider a Hungarian veto, he said it would take months before all EU states even clarify their exact positions on the proposal, which Brussels hopes would resolve bitter internal EU feuds over immigration. He left no doubt, however, that Budapest would not agree to anything that could lead to Hungary being under obligation to take in people coming from the Middle East or Africa. "This point is not acceptable for the Hungarian people," he said. "That is why on certain points we are rather stubborn." (Writing by Gabriela Baczynska; Editing by Angus MacSwan)
