Daniil Medvedev denies Djokovic the CYGS. 6-4 6-4 6-4!

And the drama continues at Monza. Ricciardo wins ahead of Norris in McLaren 1-2 but we had a collision among two title rivals

One game away...

Seems like Blue Jays got too excited over that Yankees sweep since they lost to the lowly Orioles yesterday. Sigh. Meanwhile Yankees continue to slump as they got beat by Mets 10-3.

Djokovic as the GOAT? He wouldn't sniff a HC Grand Slam in the 90s on the faster surfaces

WTA is a total crapshoot these days. Every Grand Slam has total random names making the final. Might as well bet on Danielle Collins vs Darya Kasatkina in the AO 2022 final.

Buccaneers beat Cowboys 31-29. Some bad turnovers by the Tampa offense made the score closer than it should have been.

It is destiny then, Fernandez vs Raducanu US Open final. Nobody would see this coming two weeks ago. Far & away the most unexpected women's Grand Slam final in my lifetime

Imagine how insane Canadian fans would be going right now if  Raducanu had decided to represent Canada.

Her parents' job was the only thing that tied them to Canada? So that wasn't all that much.

Yankees won 13 straight (their longest winning steak since 1985) and then went 2-10 in the next twelve games

Sakkari getting abused out there. This is heading into all-teenage final (would be first such GS final since Hingis vs V.Williams in 1999 IIRC).

Regular season starts in 4,5 hours with Buccaneers vs Cowboys. Should be a straight-forward TB victory

World Cup every two years is bullshit. And since clubs have a hard time releasing players for international duty UEFA would find it easy to get their support in this case.

Poland only has left to play among CONMEBOL members. We did play and once (1998 & 2018 respectively). We also played twice in 1977.

I didn't see that result coming! Szymanski only came on since Krychowiak (who else?) was on a yellow card again

Poland vs England is about to kick-off. As usual we got the annual repeat of the October 1973 WC qualifier earlier today.

I'll be amazed if we keep the score at 0-2 at best

Time for Jo Konta to change nationalities again. Raducanu is the new black in UK for the next 15 years

Things happening fast now, Alexander Albon confirmed at Williams for 2022 (one-year deal).

Oh well, thankfully only one of the Fernandez/Raducanu overhyped teenagers can win it. Sabalenka and Pliskova must really fancy their chances though.

Sakkari has choked some big wins before, she is a fighter because her physical frame prevents her from finding success otherwise. And she's fortunate Andreescu is a physical mess these days, cramping every other tournament or handing walkovers outright.

I was still watching motor racing, tennis and football (soccer) games NFL season kicks off on Thursday too. But yeah, this place was in a small post-Olympics hangover the last couple of weeks. Things should be back to normal soon.

It was NID. Andreescu should have been out of the tournament if only Golubic didn't choke.

It's official. Bottas to Alfa Romeo.

Carlos Alcaraz beat Peter Gojowczyk in five sets and is the youngest man to reach any GS QF since Michael Chang in RG 1989.

Aryna Sabalenka brushed past erstwhile doubles partner Elise Mertens 64 61.
