Toulouse in the final, Swiatek and Rublev crowned in Madrid, PSG titled in the Coupe de France, Norris opens his account… The sports recap of the weekend

Due to a duty of remembrance to honor the victims of the Furiani disaster, the Ligue 1 program was less important this weekend. This did not, however, prevent still dense sports news. Didn’t follow the results? Franceinfo: sport summarizes the sports news of recent days.

Stade Toulouse can believe in its sixth star. At the end of another offensive festival at home, Ugo Mola’s men defeated Harlequins in the Champions Cup semi-finals (38-26). In the lead thanks to an excellent first period during which they found the goal five times, the Rouge et Noir held their advantage despite the comeback of the English, coming back to five points with a quarter of an hour to go.

It must be said that they were greatly helped by the yellow card addressed to Jack Walker for a dangerous gesture on Antoine Dupont, previously author of a double. They will meet the Irish from Leinster in the final – defeaters of Northampton on Saturday (20-17) – in London, on May 25 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

For their first duel of the season, Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka graced the Madrid public with a true masterpiece on Saturday evening (7-5, 4-6, 7-6 [9-7]). Won by the Pole, this final was the scene of a bitter duel, three weeks before Roland-Garros. In 3 hours 11 minutes of play, the two best players in the world delivered a thrilling finale. A set everywhere in particular, when the latter further raised their level of play, refusing defeat at all costs, like Iga Swiatek, who erased four match points before collapsing to the ground, moved by his success, the first in Madrid.
