As usual in rugby there are contenders and minnows but the Challenge bracket is still for placings? Poland plays China next and then the winner/loser of Spain vs Madagascar.

Buffalo Bills commit four turnovers but still blow out LA Rams 31-10 in the first game of the season

Blah! Wrong thread! I suppose someone can transfer the last posts to the 2022 thread?

Iga Swiatek beats Aryna Sabalenka 3-6 6-1 6-4 coming back from 2-4 down in the decider.

The rest of Tour of Britain has been cancelled.

UK Queen has died.

Time for God Save The King.

Well, some 15 years ago we even had Polish beer commercials in Czech

Every vs should have this played during the breaks

Carlos Alcaraz saved MP in set four and beat Jannik Sinner in five sets!

Could be Match of the Year candidate...

The second suspect is dead now. He died after being captured by the police.

Gotta love the Canadian parole system, 59 prior convictions and he got released on parole since he was supposed to be no threat to society? I wonder if the entire parole board gets fired ASAP or will they cover up their asses despite this being a global case and a prime example how criminals don't really change

Yeah, some reports coming out Tuchel's personality began to wear a lot of people out - he's basically heading down the Mourinho reputation path? Just the lite version

Now waiting for Swiatek and Pliskova  

And you get Swiatek vs Sabalenka

It looks like Sabalenka has sorted out her serve to some degree and the Kanepi comeback maybe gave her the right mental boost as well.

Dinamo beat Chelsea 1-0 and Thomas Tuchel got fired today

Karen Khachanov beat Nick Kyrgios in five sets to set up the Ruud SF

@Wanderergets his Garcia vs Jabeur semi-final

Both Ruud & Alcaraz can become #1 if they reach the final?

Aryna Sabalenka comes from a set down to beat Danielle Collins which completes the women's QF:

Świątek vs Pegula

Pliskova vs Sabalenka

Gauff vs Garcia

Jabeur vs Tomljanovic

Defending champion Daniil Medvedev lost to Nick Kyrgios in Round 4 which means we'll have a new ATP #1 next Monday.

barely beat 3-2

Not much luck so far as Finland leads by 15 pts in the third quarter.

Let's hope she doesn't change her mind and stay retired. The USO & ESPN outdid themselves with the pandering, i can only imagine what could have happened if she made it to the end stages. Tomljanovic played a great match. I was waiting for the moment in the third, when she will fold, but it didn't happen, even after missing a couple of match points.

Tomljanovic doesn't seem so choke-prone anymore. She improved since she started dating Berrettini and seems to carry on even after the split. Then again Rodina who hasn't played anything in like two years served for 4-1 in the deciding set vs Ajla in R2 and bottled it
