Sinner cramping, or some other problem. No movement whatsoever. Retirement incoming i'm afraid. And he was doing so good against Khachanov.

He have cramps at legs and at his back. Honestly i can't understand why he is still playing

Again pathetic result in GS for random Olympic champion  Puig...

She always has been a pretty average player. Probably she'll only be remembered as Rio's surprise Olympic champion an nothing more.

Linette takes first set vs Kovinic 6-1. Let's see if she can avoid the drama in the second

[Monzanator 4,611]

.... aaaand she's can't! Vintage Linette who can't close it out in straight sets.

 

Serving for the match but still lost it in the tie-break

 

Off to set #3...

She luckily wins in third set tie-break, Kovinic deserved more fot that win. Magda will be eaten by Kontaveit in next round...

 

Edit: Nice win for Świątek yesterday  But I can't understand how Majchrzak could lost to Escobedo...

[rybak 3,239]

Peak WTA 

 

 

and #1  Pliskova lost to  Garcia 1-6, 6-7

Any Grand Slam winner means more in tennis tbh. That's one of maybe two Olympic sports - golf being the other - where an Olympic gold medal isn't the pinnacle of the sport.

I would add Football, Basketball & Baseball to that list. Maybe Hockey as well.

I had individual sports in mind but football is basically U-23 tournament with three senior players, basketball & hockey without NBA or NHL stars is second-tier by default so I was kinda short cutting the evident but obviously you're right
