In tennis they tend to say "Įteikė riestainį" when someone scores a 0 during a set. It would roughly translate into "Gave a doughnut"

Not much different than the English bagel for a 6-0 set (or of course the double bagel for two of those)

A cyclist who is giving everything, mostly when riding on the flat and chasing down someone: "He's riding with his ass(hole) open" -- ("Met het hol open rijden")

Also used in french (not very common).

 

Much more common, is the use of the word "fanny" when a team or someone is scoreless in a game or a tournament. The origins of the expression are rather nebulous, but it has been popularised through the world of pétanque of the early XXth century when the losing team had "to kiss fanny ass"  as some kind of a punishment.

 

Nowadays, It's used in sports as in everyday life.

In Brazil, when a tennis player wins by 6 : 0, we say "pneu" (tire) and winning by double 6 : 0 is called "bicicleta" (bicycle), just like in Polish (and Serbian).
