Just now, heywoodu said:

After the Davis Cup, also Wimbledon has banished the most epic of fights: 5th sets will now get a tiebreak when it gets to 12-12.

Why 12-12 ? I guess 6-6 is too mainstream for Wimbledon. 

 

At least Isner's matches will be at least 30 minutes shorter :p

    • Surely they will unless I am missing something. 
    • So, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
    • https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. . 
    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
    • After the 1st day only Dominican Republic has not win a medal.     G 6 - S 2 - B 0 -T 8  G 1 - S 4 - B 2 - T 7  G 1 - S 0 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 1 - B 2 - T 3 G 0 - S 1 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1
    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
