At this week's WTA 125 events, accepting a wild card in France worked out perfectly for Naomi Osaka, while Dalma Galfi and Bianca Andreescu picked up titles in Spain. Here's what took place at the clay-court WTA 125s over the weekend: Former World No. 1 Osaka of Japan collected the first WTA 125 title of her career on Sunday, defeating Kaja Juvan of Slovenia 6-1, 7-5 to win the L'Open 35 de Saint Malo title in Saint Malo, France. Of course, Osaka has been a significant champion in her career, winning four Grand Slam titles and three additional titles on the Hologic WTA Tour. But she had not won a singles title at any level since her most recent Grand Slam at the 2021 Australian Open.

Osaka dropped one set apiece to French hopes Diane Parry and Leolia Jeanjean, but she moved through the draw smoothly otherwise. Fun fact: this was not Osaka's first WTA 125 final. She finished runner-up to Yaroslava Shvedova at WTA 125 Hua Hin in 2015, nine-and-a-half years ago. Meanwhile, a quick shout-out goes to former Top 100 player Juvan, who ended a 12-month hiatus from tour in January and has already reached a WTA 125 final. The Saint Malo doubles title was won by No. 1 seeds Maia Lumsden and Makoto Ninomiya. They beat No. 2 seeds Oksana Kalashnikova and Angelica Moratelli 7-5, 6-2 in Saturday's final.

On Saturday, Galfi swept past Rebeka Masarova of Switzerland 6-3, 6-0 to win the Catalonia Open title in Vic, Spain. Galfi is currently in the midst of a 10-match winning streak. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dalma Galfi (@dalmagalfi) This was a completely dominant week for surging Galfi. She did not lose more than four games in a set during her run through Vic. Galfi, who was a World No. 1 junior a decade ago, is arguably in the hottest form of her professional career. Three weeks ago she was ranked No. 149, but she is now projected to return to the Top 100 in Monday's updated PIF WTA Rankings.

(Courtesy of Alejandro Menendez)This segment aired on April 4 Naomi Osaka has sealed her return to the top 50 of the WTA Rankings after ending her four-year wait for a title at the WTA 125 Challenger event in Saint-Malo Former world No 1 and four-time Grand Slam champion Osaka defeated Kaja Juvan 6-1 rallying from a break down in set two to close out the match in straights Despite not being an official WTA-level event it is still a significant result for the 27-year-old It is Osaka’s first-ever title on clay courts at any level while it is also her first title at any level since winning her second Australian Open crown in February 2021 Osaka’s decision to enter the WTA 125 event came after a disappointing start to her clay season at the Madrid Open beaten in her opening-round match by Lucia Bronzetti the step down to the Challenger tour has proven a success with the Japanese having initially won four straight clay-court matches for the first time ahead of Sunday’s final Points and money earned by Sabalenka, Gauff, Swiatek, Raducanu, Eala at Madrid Open Emma Raducanu can draw inspiration from Jack Draper as she faces similar obstacles Osaka beat Petra Marcinko in round one and Diane Parry in round two before a quarter-final win versus Elsa Jacquemot and a semi-final triumph over Leolia Jeanjean The Japanese made it five wins in a row thanks to her triumph over Juvan who is also looking to make her way back towards the upper echelons of the WTA “Kinda ironic to win my first trophy back on the surface that I thought was my worst,” wrote Osaka on social media “That’s one of my favorite things about life though Thanks to everyone accompanying me on this journey I know it’s turbulent but it’s also really fun and I’m grateful.” Triumph in Saint-Malo vindicates Osaka’s decision to play the event rather than spend almost two weeks without playing a competitive match it also seals an impressive rankings boost for the Japanese Osaka was projected to rise five spots to world No 50 following her run to the final However, her triumph on Sunday means that she earns 100 points and will rise seven spots to world No 48 when the WTA Rankings update on Monday, with Emma Raducanu among those affected Raducanu was projected to rise one spot to world No 48 after winning her opening-round match in Madrid though she will now stay at her current ranking of world No 49 next week Osaka is also now just two points away from reclaiming her Japanese No 1 ranking from Moyuka Uchijima Following her impressive run to the last eight of the Madrid Open Uchijima is projected to rise nice places to world No 47 and hold 1,150 points with Osaka just two points behind on 1,148 There is also good news for runner-up Juvan who will move up 159 places to world No 356 thanks to her run to the final Osaka will next be in action at the Italian Open in Rome with the women’s singles draw set to be revealed on Monday Read Next: WTA Rankings Race To Riyadh: Aryna Sabalenka pulls away

was life like before John Jay?My parents are farm workers from Ecuador who moved to the U.S when they were teenagers in search of the American dream I grew up not only knowing the value of a good work ethic and deep appreciation for my parents’ resiliency and sacrifices but also understanding the importance of education Neither of my parents went beyond grade school because they had to work to help their families My parents also instilled in me a deep love and respect for our Ecuadorian roots is the name of the biggest mountain in Ecuador and its name is actually a Kichwa word—Kichwa being the indigenous language of my ancestors living with my parents and next door to my cousin Claudio so it was Claudio who took me under his wing He’s one of my fiercest protectors and has championed me since I was young he always pushed me to go to college and pursue my dreams Why John Jay?Diversity has always been very important to me the celebration of diversity is one of the pillars that shaped me When you feel seen and have a sense of belonging I knew I wanted to go to a diverse institution I also wanted to go to a college that was hyper-focused on justice Its status as a Hispanic- and Minority-Serving Institution as well as a leader in justice-focused education How did your mentors put you on the path to success?I found my passion for Latinx studies in Professor José Luis Morín’s “Latinx Experience in Criminal Justice in the U.S.” course I realized I wasn’t just taking a class and learning information; the information he presented validated the experiences of Latinos in America It was through my conversations with Professor Morín that I realized I wanted to learn about sociology and political science through a Latin American lens Fitz (Adrienne Fitzgerald) has always seen my potential and took the time to understand me not only as a student but also as a person whether it was taking on a leadership position or studying abroad What can I do to make this easier for you?” No matter what she was doing Fitz was also the person who suggested I apply to Teach for America despite it being a highly selective program She knew it would be the perfect fit for me How did your study abroad experience enhance your educational journey?My study abroad experience in Cusco which centered on indigenous people and globalization was one of the best experiences of my life I had the chance to learn more about my connection to the region and its past The histories of Ecuador and Peru are closely intertwined My grandpa did a lot of advocacy work for indigenous people and farm workers in Ecuador and Peru so to learn more about the history behind my grandpa’s stories was impactful and intensified my passion for Latinx studies which I got to experience along with my parents who came with me to Peru we traveled to different parts of the country met with different indigenous leaders and community members learned about the issues that were important to them and enjoyed some amazing Peruvian food prepared by my host family How did the New York Giants Fellowship help shape your future career I was a community engagement specialist with the Center for Justice Innovation working closely with Spanish-speaking participants in the diversion program My job was to provide them access to different resources and sign them up for programs so that they could avoid court appearances and stay out of the system The fellowship was a rewarding experience because I helped a lot of people It also taught me to be empathetic and understanding of others I was calling a lot of people from all different walks of life Each one had a unique background and was going through different life challenges Sometimes they wouldn’t believe I was there to help them other times they didn’t want to answer my questions It’s a lesson I plan to take with me into the classroom What did you learn during your internship with Council Member Shahana Hanif?I was so grateful to intern with Council Member Shahana Hanif the first Muslim woman to be elected to the New York City Council She’s a daughter of immigrants and a CUNY alumna so I immediately felt a deep connection to her I got to see firsthand how she’s standing up for families fighting for schools in her district to get the funding they deserve and supporting linguistic and translation programs to help immigrants trying to make their way in this city As someone who had to translate for my parents from a very early age I understand the heavy weight of that responsibility Seeing what Council Member Hanif was doing for the immigrants in her district was moving I hope to be like her one day and inspire my students to speak up How did your internship at the Museum of Natural History impact your goals?I was an education program intern working in the South American Peoples’ Hall at the Museum of Natural History The hall featured information and artifacts from the Inca Empire The archaeological site where the artifacts came from is actually a place I used to visit with my family It was right around the corner from my grandpa’s house being in the museum talking about the site and their philosophy on nature and environment As someone who wants to work in the education space the internship expanded my interpersonal skills and taught me how to provide information and explain things in ways that the person I was speaking to would understand What are your plans after graduation?I’ll be part of the Teach for America program working as a bilingual Kindergarten teacher in the Newark Public School System I was so proud to be chosen because the program is highly competitive only 15 percent of those who apply get selected helping shape and positively impact the next generation I want to be that adult who helps students who are struggling I want to become a teacher that students can come to and depend on I want my students to feel excited about coming to Ms admissions@jjay.cuny.edu

and neotraditional country into a tapestry of sound that has provided the backdrop for such original hits as “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down,” “Here Comes The Rain,” and “Dance the Night Away.” We recently caught up with Malo to discuss his band’s latest record and upcoming Louisville concert date with Kentucky native Dwight Yoakam VOICE-TRIBUNE: The Mavericks LP Moon & Stars is as fun and eclectic as anything else in your extensive catalog What was special to you about the process of assembling it with your bandmates and various guests we brought a different kind of energy to the process by recording parts of it in faraway locations [including New Mexico and Louisiana] before finishing it off at our home away from home where everything is always comfortable and easy The other interesting thing about Moon & Stars is that some of the material is not new Probably the best example of that is the album’s opening track ‘The Years Will Not Be Kind’ [a fairly profound co-write with Elton John’s lyricist Bernie Taupin] which had literally been sitting in a storage bin for decades because it would not have been believable if I had been presenting it to the world as a 30-year-old.”  “Turn Yourself Around,” was also a nice surprise It feels like it would have been right at home on an early [Paul] McCartney release I guess that’s my tribute to [Harry] Nilsson’s mid-70s work with [John] Lennon My co-writer on that one was really ‘ going through it’ with his wife at the time and his life was descending into a Nilsson-like madness Sometimes more is just more and that’s better.”  this collection provides another fine example of why you are considered to be one of the great crooners of our time who were some of your early role models in that realm I was playing one of my mom’s albums that was his Greatest Hits or something like that ‘what the hell was that?’ but I kept playing it over and over I have spent my entire [musical] life imitating that record VT: Here in Kentucky the Judds are still held in high regard by many emerging artists What’s the story behind your collaboration with [the late Rockabilly legend] Carl Perkins on that recent Judds tribute project RM: “The Mavericks once recorded with Carl Perkins and Duane Eddy But yet he was really laid back and easy to work with I was excited to add my vocals to the track they built around his original demo [for the Judds’ 1989 hit ‘Let Me Tell You About Love’] when the opportunity presented itself.” VT: How is the co-headlining tour with [Kentucky-born musician/actor] Dwight Yoakam going being on this tour has been a blessing on so many levels I mean that in as positive and professional a way as you can say it And I’m not just saying that because we’re on the road together I’ve admired Dwight and his records from the beginning.” he always makes his way to the bar of the Brown Hotel and orders a Hot Brown whenever he’s in town Is there anything you like to do when you’re in the area RM: “Louisville has a surprisingly large Cuban population which is fun for me because I love getting my fix of Cuban food whenever I am around I am a big fan of both Havana Rumba and La Bodeguita de Mima.” The Mavericks and Dwight Yoakam play Iroquois Amphitheater on April 25.

the second period but failed get a move on 11:00: Greco-Roman all day as the final day of the Muhamet Malo Ranking Series is here Long day ahead but some classic match ups in various weight class With a voice that’s like a puree of Presley Raul Malo is one of the most revered and respected singers in contemporary country music His effortless baritone has always been the lead instrument in the Mavericks each in its own way a hybrid of rootsy rock ‘n’ roll R&B and the Latino sounds introduced to Malo by his parents The Mavericks will open for Dwight Yoakam Thursday at the BayCare Sound (find tickets for the 6 p.m. concert here) They’re one of those groups the critics adore Malo mockingly refers to himself as the “Americana cult hero.” That’s because critics and adoring fans don’t always send songs up the airplay or download charts a rollicking collaboration with Tejano accordion player Flaco Jimenez (“All You Ever Do is Bring Me Down”) made it to No more powerful markers of success than chart positions and platinum albums The Mavericks – and Malo – are considered fearless innovators and risk-takers (who can forget the cover of the Frank and Nancy Sinatra song “Somethin’ Stupid,” featuring Malo and duet partner Trisha Yearwood Or the haunting version of “Blue Moon” in the movie Apollo 13?) followed a year later by a collection sung entirely in Spanish Malo went public with the news that he’d been diagnosed with intestinal cancer Over the phone Monday from Nashville (the tour starts in St Augustine Wednesday) the singer/songwriter Pete Catalyst: Question Number One: How’s your health They (the medical team) know what I do for a living – that was taken into account when we were kind of formulating a plan of attack when the treatments were going to happen and all that And they’ve always been interested in making sure that the treatment itself was the least bit obtrusive into my life the treatment and the way they go about it and have it be more targeted to your specific needs I’m happy to be on a chemo break for the holidays This thing is much too important.” How do you keep the career going I didn’t want to sit around and wait for it if I’m feeling pretty good and I can go out and do my thing I think that’s gonna be better for me than sitting here doing nothing I’ve never felt that this thing was a death sentence my running joke with everybody was: It was living that was killing me all the horrible shit we do on a daily basis that’s been an eye-opening thing to come to terms with and to realize and if I could go out and work and play music You made your first record in Miami in 1990 fit in with the rock ‘n’ roll bands playing what I assume were the same clubs we just offered an alternative to the alternative – or whatever it was that was happening at the time And half the time we didn’t really know what we were doing It wasn’t that thought-out or that orchestrated and the fact that it happened in Miami is really nothing short of a miracle Your heritage is Cuban – how did this sort of music happen for you Obviously there’s different genres of music there’s all kinds of styles and this and that I hate jazz.” That’s not true – I might not like all records made in the jazz catalogue I don’t make blanket absolute statements like that I grew up in a household that listened to all kinds of music My dad was a big country music fan; my mom was an opera fan So there was always stuff playing in the house When I first heard Elvis’ “It’s Now or Never,” that was the catalyst that’s an Italian aria,” that really sealed the deal and whether you’re singing rock ‘n’ roll or singing opera (Laughing) That’s why we’re not in any genre now – we’re kind of in a no-man’s land Tex-Mex and Tejano and rock ‘n’ roll in what you do You’re still following those same non-guidelines you know – it makes it difficult for marketing divisions and record labels country music has always been about the distinctive singing voice Did anyone in Nashville ever tell you “Your voice is too weird for this kind of music” But that’s not to say that somebody doesn’t feel that way about it But within the context of the Mavericks and what we do I can admit that it’s a unique sounding voice we don’t get the radio play or any sort of recognition in that way Going back to that first indie album out of Miami people said you guys were going to be huge a lot of people know you and what you do – but the band never really did get huge or pick me up at a tour bus or a venue or whatever I’m the most famous person you’ve never heard of I’ll tell you the band that I perform with that guy was just in my car!” And sure enough You are the voice and groove that makes us feel alive It’s bonafide musical genius of you and all of the band It’s been years and nothing makes us feel the way yall do Raul has THE best voice around and the Mavericks are an incredible live band not just the main 4 guys but the horn section and everybody else they bring in Looking forward to seeing the Mavs a couple of times in 2025 New Braunfels will miss you all in December Prayers and best wishes for your full Recovery Raul Raul Malo possesses an extraordinary singing voice that resonates deeply has transformed into the White Voice of velvet While some might say The Mavericks haven’t reached mainstream heights their journey transcends typical recognition Their authenticity and dedication to making great music shine brighter than any awards or accolades especially in facing challenges like cancer reflects his unwavering commitment to his bandmates Engaging in thoughtful discussions about their journey is essential The Mavericks prioritize their love for music and each other They exemplify that being true to oneself and one’s passions is the greatest achievement Let’s embrace debates and share our thoughts for that is how we grow together and ensure that The Mavericks hear our voices I have my own fan group for The Mavs on FB I Remember you in a suit coat and longer hair with the voice of an Angel Watch his live cover of “El Paso.” It’s ashamed that the Mavericks are not more recognized for their great talent I have yet to hear their music played on serius xm But people that follow them know the true meaning of real music that being Raul Malo and The Mavericks I.ve got his latest CD plus others.And he is my favorite singer Wish him lots prayers with his cancer treatments.But know he.s got this Add your idea below.
