No boycott as Tunisia's Jaziri defeats Israel's Sela for Istanbul title
In 2013, Tunisia's Malek Jaziri was ordered by the Tunisia tennis federation
Istanbul - Arab Today
Tunisia's Malek Jaziri on Sunday beat Israel's Dudi Sela 1-6, 6-1, 6-0 to win the Istanbul ATP Challenger title in a match charged with political significance.
In 2013, Jaziri was ordered by the Tunisia tennis federation to withdraw from a tournament in Tashkent rather than face Israel's Amir Weintraub, his scheduled opponent.
In response, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) banned Tunisia from the Davis Cup.
Despite fears that the Tunisian authorities may again intervene on Sunday, the final between the top two seeds went ahead.
32-year-old Jaziri lost the first set 6-1, but went on to win the second before sweeping through the decider as he claimed the sixth Challenger title of his career.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
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" opened 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. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
