The WTA...

Luxembourg do it!  It's amazing, they won a medal in an olympic event! at the shoot-off against Spain 
In the other event Germany defeated Russia in women's recurve 6-2.
Croatia won the bronze against Belgium in men's compound 233-220. Belgium lost the bronze in women's compound too and finished in 4th place, Germany won 234-230.

And on the bagel topic, Humbert's coach Champion seems to be the last tennis player to be on the receiving end of triple bagels at a Grand Slam during the 1993 Roland Garros

Poland also "has" a quite good player in the women's singles, Wozniacki..

Ugo Humbert looks like a promising player.
 
Btw, I though that we have Polish pair in women's doubles, that I've never heard of, because livescore said "Adamczak/Krawczyk". Aaaaand it's Monique Adamczak and Desirae Krawczyk. 

This year's US open has not been very WTA. Though the only top 20 player who is out after first round is the number 1 seeded.  WTA strikes again 

A quick bet: How many players will retire, because of the heat or an injury in today's matches?
 
My bet is 6

And finally... the day came: Ginobili retires from basketball.
 
Euroleague, Olympic and NBA x 4 champion, NBA All-Star x2. Up there with Gasol as the most succesful non-american basketball player ever.
 
Even though I'm not a huge basketball fan he was protagonist of some of the fondest childhood memories I have about sport.
 
Farewell Manu  

A typical Svitolina match 

It's predictably unpredictable.

So, let's start the last Slam of the year, may the best players to win!

3rd Speedway GP Careers win for Martin Vaculík yesterday
 
 

The regular season of the 2018 AFL premiership  concluded today:
 
The final "Ladder" 

 
The defending "premiers", Richmond Tigers, tops the ladder  with an impressive 18-4 record. 
In the bottom, Carlton lost its first seven matches, the longest losing streak to start a season in the club's history. Their final record of 2-20 is the worst season in their history. Their preivous worst season was in 1901.
Another notable story from this season is that Port Adelaide became the first team since the "Final Eight" was introduced in 1994 to fail to qualify for the finals after having 12 wins and 6 losses at one point. They ended with a 12-10 record. 
Finally, and on a more happier note, Melbourne Demons qualified for the finals for the first time since 2006. 
 
Next is the "Finals series". The best eight teams of season are ready to battle for a place in "The Grand Final", which takes place September 29 at legendary Melbourne Cricket Ground.

No one noticed that Kathinka von Deichmann became first ever tennis player from  to play in GS singles main draw.  She won all three matches in qualifications without dropping a set.

Patty Schnyder is back in the main draw for the first time since 2010 
 

No one knows?  Apparently it has to be more "conservative" according to him. Mini skirts and bare legs is allowed, but suits are forbidden,
