Good hitting session for Świątek in R4 as she beat Potapova 6-0 6-0 in 39 mins

A rare occassion that Polish Ekstraklasa player will feature in Copa America. John Yeboah (Raków Częstochowa) has been called up.

The run of success is halted after Leylah Fernandez loses to Ons Jabeur in two sets. Iga Świątek takes care of Marie Bouzkova in two sets and will play Anastasia Potapova in R4.

@SindoGuess we need the European Championships thread

Olga Danilovic won the Balkan derby over Donna Vekic 0-6 7-5 7-6(8) after 3 hours and 11 minutes! Vekic served for the match twice and led 6-2 in the Super TB but she blew that one away.

Meanwhile the Mets are 10 games below .500 at the end of May. Lindor has to be the most overpaid "super star" in the league and well, at least they didn't pay Alonso who has to be traded sooner than later now. Even the NYM die-hards can't defend his crap? Blue Jays are also doing below expectations so I wonder if they make some moves because the Guerrero & Bichette combo is clearly underperforming a lot.

Finally a proper derby in women's tennis with Olga Danilovic set to play Donna Vekic in Round 3. Danilovic caused the upset taking out Danielle Collins in three sets.

History made as we have a first club winning an European cup competition!

Iga Świątek saves a MP and takes out Naomi Osaka 7-6 1-6 7-5. Osaka completely crumbled after leading 5-2 in the deciding set.

Preliminary squad for the tournament (GK Zych is only there to have even numbers of keepers for training).

Natalia Kaczmarek won in 50.09. This is as promising as it gets for her at this stage of the season.

Rafael Nadal out in R1 on his RG farewell. At this rate you might wonder if he even wins a match or two at SOG? Maria Sakkari out in R1 which is her 4th R1 exit in the last five GS. Alize Cornet loses to Zheng Qinwen in what turned out to be her last match before retirement.

It makes sense. The whole bidding process known from the XX or early XXI century is over. Nobody wants to spend millions of Euro in failed projects anymore. Just award the SOG to whomever actually wants to host it and can afford the usual financial losses.

Bill Walton (basketball) passed away at the age of 71.

Jagiellonia Białystok wins the Polish domestic title for the first time in their 104 year history. Since 2019 we've had three first time champions already (Piast Gliwice & Raków Częstochowa were the other two).

@thepharoahMayar Sherif has made the Rabat final where she will play Peyton Stearns. I'd say she's favorite to win the title

Yeah, I can see that happening. You don't expect logic in politics, do you? Except for greed of power

Run of 51 unbeaten games is over!

It's a different injury that prevented Kerr from playing much at the last World Cup? At least they don't have to keep it a secret for ticket sales or something.

Jesse Eisenberg said he applied for Polish citizenship 9 months ago and apparently the paperwork only needs the president's signing. He has been given PESEL already (aka our version of a social security number). His family immigrated from Eastern Poland to USA after World War II.
