Kerber Wins in New York As Ranking Pressure Grows on Williamsq
Kerber .
New York - Arab Today
Angelique Kerber extended the ranking pressure on Serena Williams as the German eliminated 2015 US Open finalist Roberta Vinci 7-5, 6-0 on Tuesday in the quarter-finals.
Kerber, second on the WTA list behind Williams, can seize the number one ranking from her rival if Williams does not reach the final. If both players are in the final, Williams would have to win the trophy again in order to hang onto her top ranking, dpa reported.
Vinci has been carrying an injury and was not a force against the big-hitting Kerber, the Olympic silver medallist in Rio.
The old-school Italian stunned Williams a year ago in the semi-finals before losing the title match to compatriot Flavia Pennetta, now retired. Kerber scored her WTA-leading 52nd win of the season in an hour and a quarter, breaking seven times and notching 33 winners.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
