El Abierto de Australia está llegando a su etapa de definición y ya se alcanzaron varias marcas en lo que va de la competencia.

El español Carlos Alcaraz, número 1 del ranking de la ATP, sigue en la carrera por conseguir el último título de torneo de Grand Slam que le falta. El murciano ya conquistó Roland Garros, Wimbledon y el US Open, pero aún no pudo imponerse en el Abierto de Australia en Melbourne.

De conseguirlo, el español se convertirá en el sexto jugador en lograr el llamado Grand Slam de carrera, es decir, ganar los cuatro campeonatos más grandes del circuito. Los tenistas que están en esta selecta lista son André Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic y Rod Laver.

Por su parte, el serbio Novak Djokovic sigue sumando récords a su exitosa carrera.

El ganador de 24 títulos de torneos Grand Slam primero alcanzó su victoria número 100 en el Abierto de Australia, tras superar a Pedro Martínez en sets corridos en la primera ronda del certamen.

Esa misma semana, ‘Nole’ alcanzó una nueva marca, al registrar su triunfo número 400 en torneos mayores o de Grand Slam, al vencer también en sets corridos al neerlandés Botic Van de Zandschulp.

Estas cifras ubican al serbio como el tenista con mejor rendimiento dentro de los torneos de Grand Slam, superando el registro de Federer y Nadal por más de 30 victorias a cada uno.

La bielorrusa Aryna Sabalenka sigue demostrando que es la tenista del momento en la WTA, alcanzando su octava semifinal consecutiva en torneos de Grand Slam sobre canchas de cemento.

Si la actual número 1 del mundo gana este Abierto de Australia alcanzará a las leyendas Martina Hingis y Maria Sharapova con 5 títulos de torneos de Grand Slam en su palmarés.

El primer torneo de Grand Slam del año no ha sido ajeno a las sorpresas.

En la rama masculina se destacó la participación del estadounidense Learner Tien. El joven de 20 años derrotó en los octavos de final al experimentado tenista Daniil Medvedev en sets corridos. ´

Tien forma parte de un grupo de tenistas menores de 21 años que prometen, y que también integran el brasileño Joao Fonseca y el checo Jakub Menšík.

La jugadora estadounidense Iva Jović es hasta el momento la sorpresa de la rama femenina. Con solo 18 años derrotó a la actual número 8 del ranking mundial de la WTA, Jasmine Paolini.

La aventura de Jović en Australia solo terminó cuando se enfrentó a la número 1, Sabalenka, en la ronda de los cuartos de final.

(CNN) — Top White House aide Stephen Miller said Tuesday that officials were evaluating why Customs and Border Protection agents in Minneapolis “may not have been following” proper protocol before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti – a remarkable acknowledgment of possible wrongdoing from one of the Trump administration’s most influential and hardline operators on immigration enforcement.

In a statement to CNN, Miller said the White House had “provided clear guidance to DHS that the extra personnel that had been sent to Minnesota for force protection should be used for conducting fugitive operations to create a physical barrier between the arrest teams and the disruptors.”

“We are evaluating why the CBP team may not have been following that protocol,” he said.

The statement marked perhaps one of the most notable shifts in messaging to date on Pretti’s shooting, from one of the administration’s most hawkish messengers. In the aftermath of the shooting, Miller labeled the Veterans Affairs ICU nurse a “would-be assassin,” while Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed he “committed an act of domestic terrorism.”

Video, though, soon showed that Pretti was swarmed by law enforcement and disarmed before he was fatally shot. And President Donald Trump directly contradicted Miller’s characterization on Tuesday and said he hadn’t heard the domestic terrorist rhetoric.

Miller told CNN in the statement: “The initial statement from DHS was based on reports from CBP on the ground.”

On the day of the shooting, Noem was in near constant touch with White House officials, including Miller, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Trump had been privately defending an officer the department said pulled the trigger (DHS has since indicated two officers fired). And Noem was given guidance from multiple White House officials on how she should talk about the shooting during her press conference later that evening, including suggesting – falsely, it would turn out – Pretti had been “brandishing” a weapon, the sources said. Miller’s involvement in the discussions was first reported by Axios.

Noem briefed the White House officials on the defiant tone she planned to take, making clear she would defend agents on the ground. At the time, sources said, she and the White House were in lockstep.

Now, though, the messaging is coming under scrutiny, as Trump seeks to distance himself from those in his own administration. On Tuesday, the president struck a more conciliatory tone over the shooting in Minnesota as he appeared to break with both Noem and Miller.

CNN previously reported that some administration officials were left deeply frustrated over how controversial border official Gregory Bovino and Noem handled the fallout from the fatal shooting over the weekend. According to one official, Trump spent several hours on Sunday and Monday watching news coverage and was personally unhappy by how his administration was coming across.

But multiple sources said that neither Miller’s nor Noem’s jobs were at

El Gobierno de Ecuador denunció este martes que un agente del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de Estados Unidos (ICE) presuntamente intentó entrar a la sede de su Consulado en Minneapolis, por lo que envió una nota de protesta a las autoridades de EE.UU.

La Cancillería de Ecuador dijo en un comunicado que los hechos ocurrieron alrededor de las 11:00 horas, hora local, según el reporte de su cónsul en Minneapolis, ciudad en la que se han intensificado los operativos para detener a inmigrantes indocumentados.

De acuerdo con la Cancillería, “los funcionarios del Consulado impidieron el ingreso del oficial de ICE a la sede consular, garantizando así la protección de los ecuatorianos que se encontraban en ese momento en la sede consular y activando los protocolos de emergencia emitidos por el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Movilidad Humana”.

Agregan que se envió una nota de protesta a la Embajada de EE.UU. en Ecuador “para que actos de esta naturaleza no se repitan en ninguna de las oficinas consulares del Ecuador en los Estados Unidos”.

CNN contactó tanto al Departamento de Estado como a ICE para pedir comentarios y espera una respuesta.

Este incidente ocurre cuando hay habitantes de Minneapolis y organizaciones no gubernamentales que protestan contra los operativos de ICE en la ciudad, en los que advierten de posibles usos excesivos de la fuerza.

ICE defiende su actuación y asegura que sus agentes actúan conforme a la ley y responden en caso de encontrarse con manifestantes que consideren peligrosos.
