lost a set vs but still won 3-1

Yeah, it's a coin toss who's fallen off worse in the last several months, Medvedev or Tsitsipas?

Peak WTA meltdowns on Day 1 already. Danilovic blows 7 MP (including 40-0 on her own serve) while Tauson blows a 5-1 lead in the deciding set

Well, I realize Ecuador teams play at altitude which might be a problem but it's not like the best club teams are basically 60% of national team anymore? I think that used to be the case in 80s or 90s where some of these teams from lesser nations went deep in Libertadores? Like Sporting Cristal into the final or Olimpia Asuncion? Btw, I see River Plate barely won on penalties against another Asuncion team. Of course more Brazilian players leave for Europe these days as well. But overall the QF are usual suspects, four teams from Argentina, three from Brazil and LDU Quito. Maybe Colombian teams are struggling more than before? I recall America de Cali used to make a few finals but always lost one way or another.

Reigning Libertadores champion Botafogo are out in R16 after losing to LDU Quito of all teams. This must be a huge upset? @hoversaBR

The seeding was based on combined singles ranking. Pegula & Draper (#4 + #5) were highest seeds, Rybakina & Fritz (#10 + #4) had the second highest combined ranking. And obviously the only true doubles pair actually won it

I presume they had a short circuit over there

They cancelled the PV but Long Jump makes up for the Yakety Sax moments

Jaeger beats the Klaver rabbit. Bukowiecka a long way off but that's been her season and I think even Polish media knows she's not gonna feature among the medals IMO.

I think it's still the three years rule

gets on the map with Emmanuel Bamidele switching from

This is yawn material. They basically copied Tie Break Tens from Indian Wells but are paying more money to the richest players on tour anyway. Exho crap so hopefully Errani & Vavassori actually win this.

Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk (testosterone) has been banned for 4 years (runs from Dec 7th, 2024).

Rhasidat Adeleke has ended her season. I don't really know what issue she had but she hardly competed in 2025.

The European leaders are so completely powerless you can even mock them with AI generated pic

Team Poland squad: Setters: Marlena Kowalewska, Katarzyna Wenerska Receivers: Martyna Czyrniańska, Paulina Damaske, Martyna Łukasik, Julita Piasecka Middle Blockers: Aleksandra Gryka, Magdalena Jurczyk, Agnieszka Korneluk, Sonia Stefanik Opposite Attackers: Malwina Smarzek, Magdalena Stysiak

@MHSNAli Gholizadeh suffered a hamstring injury and will be out until November

It is bank holiday weekend (Friday was a Catholic feast and Armed Forces Day).

New season is underway and Ronnie O'Sullivan made TWO maximum breaks in the Saudi Masters SF vs Chris Wakelin. That's the first time a player makes two maxes in the same match on the same day (Jackson Page made two in WCh quals last season but these came on back-to-back days).

Stephanie Venier (alpine skiing) announced her retirement.

Aren't all commercial helicopter flights in Pakistan actually operated by the army personnel (also retired army)? At 5,700 meters the air is so thin only some models can reach it and I assume wind has to play a factor where the helicopter can fly but not really stand still mid-air to lower the rescue equipment?

Even Polish media didn't really blow the fuse too hard over Cieślar losing the final to lieutenant Egorian. It's still a very unexpected individual medal in a sport we've struggled recently compared to historical times (and we basically only count our chances in team events).

At least Kalinskaya prevented another Raducanu vs Fernandez final

Makes you wonder who is laughing harder right now? Rubiales or Hermoso? This new female coach in men's wardrobe sure looks like she broke the damn toy. And one can't blame Cata Coll for mental errors this time

England wins on penalties. Again some terrible PSO shooting which has become a new thing in women's football
