Lol there are like 5-6 more interesting Czech players and Krejcikova is the one to win a GS  I think she was playing ITF tournaments leading up to last years RG.

Last year it was COVID-affected but in 2019 she played random ITFs on clay before RG and got bounced by Robin Anderson in first round of qualifying.

She's a genuine doubles speciallist since 2016.

Talk about a low-key celebration. She probably can't believe it.

The likes of Jankovic, Safina, Dementieva or even Radwanska must be shell-shocked how such a random name can win a GS title

And obviously Karolina Pliskova, probably the weakest WTA #1 ever.

Barbora Krejcikova is a Grand Slam singles champion. Upset of the year doesn't quite tell you how shocking that is.

I thought Gavranović's legs (feet) were not in the offside, while his upper body probably was.

 

Which begs the question, what part of the body is being looked at in an offside situation? Any?

Any part of the body that you can legally score a goal with (in this case --> head ). It was offside.

Gavranovic scores but offside. Will be called back.

My crystal ball has malfunctioned

Moore scores a header. 1-1.

was one of the most dominant and impressive runs (both final and semifinal) I saw in Womens Kayak lately. If she´ll be able to repeat this in Tokyo, everything is open for her

I know very little about canoeing and the last genuine medal chance for us I remember were Kolomanski/Staniszewski in Atlanta & Sydney (and they won silver IIRC). Any Polish medals in this discipline must be considered a total surprise

Shots after 50 mins - Switzerland 14 Wales 2

Embolo scores! Well deserved lead for Swiss.

Horrible miss from Seferovic. Swiss should be 1-0 up.

Klaudia Zwolinska might be one of our dark horses for a medal in Tokyo

Krejcikova wins first set 6-1. Only a mental collapse can deny her the title IMO.

I didn't realize Kevin Mbabu from Wolfsburg plays for Switzerland. I thought he was French

Ovidiu Hategan will be in charge of Poland vs Slovakia on Monday. He was the referee of our Euro 2016 win over Northern Ireland (1:0).

Obviously a slightly bigger chance for Tsitsipas now but he'll remain the underdog.

So, this ball car will be used during every game of the tournament? I wait until it crashes into some player or referee

This must be the worst game Turkey has played in their Euro finals history. Even in 1996 they didn't look so useless.

3-0. No max points in the predictions?

what a way to destroy your bus

The bus flipped on the highway!

Turkey were sitting too deep. Own goal

Turks are sitting so deep Italians are literally tripping over each other - and the ref - around their penalty box

There U have it: @George_D had 11/11 correct picks

Tsitsipas beats Zverev in five sets to advance into the men's final.
