2020 OG bronze medallist in high jump Maksim Nedasekau gets the visa & residence in Poland ban - a decision made by our Foreign Ministry (more related to another hard labor camp sentence for Polish minority in Belarus leader Andrzej Poczobut but the war is still mentioned).

Polish media treat Sabalenka as the villain #1 so there's always an update about her being asked about Ukraine  It happens basically at every tournament and there's always a journalist who asks like one question about the match and five questions about the war.

Azarenka is basically irrelevant these days and not a threat to Iga Świątek in the big picture so her quite prominent Lukashenka support is largely forgotten instead.

Big upset among the women as Anna Karolina Schmiedlova beats (11) Veronika Kudermetova 6-3 6-1! @hckošice

Meanwhile (12) Belinda Bencic lost to Elina Avanesyan but that wasn't that surprising given Bencic missed the entire clay season with injury.

Not that much news but Tomasz Majewski confirmed Duplantis & Crouser will take part in Chorzów DL on July 16th. Poland is probably one of the very few countries that actually pays attention to shot put in athletics

1. FC Heidenheim scored in the 93rd AND 99th minute to secure promotion into Bundesliga for the first time ever. Let's see if they manage to avoid one & done scenario.

HSV Hamburg fans thought they are in but it's playoffs for them again

So, it's known what group plays next year already? Let's see if we can beat France at least

Some red flags in the end as clowns arrived in town but Josef Newgarden wins Indianapolis 500!

Wheel hit a car in the parking lot. Phew.

Big crash for Kirkwood and Rosenqvist. Wheel missed the stands by like 10 meters. IndyCar dodged a huge bullet there...

Well, VeeKay is making the news worldwide now...

Indianapolis 500 has started. I hope Dutch TV is ready for Rinus VeeKay winning @heywoodu

First poll results from Turkey and Erdogan has 54% of the vote. Looks done and dusted

Almost NID. It seems like Sakkari's GS window has closed in the second half of 2021/early 2022. Still only Rabat 250 title on her resume.

History of 0-3 teams forcing Game 7:

1951 NBA Finals - NY Knicks vs Rochester Royals (Royals won 79-75)

1994 West SF - Denver Nuggets vs Utah Jazz (Jazz won 91-81)

2003 West R1 - Portland Trail Blazers vs Dallas Mavericks (Mavericks won 107-95)

2023 East Finals - Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat (???)

They will from the reports here. They have to invest 10 million GBP for better lights and expanded press box though.

I'm amazed Premier League will allow Luton to play on this stadium. Looks like not much has changed since 1905 when the stadium was build

Okay, so maybe they replaced wooden stairs since then?

Elina Svitolina wins her first WTA title after maternity leave. She beat Anna Blinkova 6-2 6-3 in Strasbourg final.

Lucia Bronzetti wins her first WTA title overall after beating Julia Grabher in the Rabat final.

Luton Town wins the Chamionship playoff final 6-5 in PSO over Coventry

Russian doubles speciallist Yana Sizikova has been officially cleared of match fixing. She was reportedly arrested during 2021 French Open but obviously never sentenced and played on tour for a long while since then already.

Djokovic & Tsitsipas in Alcaraz's half.

Swiatek & Rybakina in the same half again, Sabalenka gets Kostyuk in R1 but after that it's smooth sailing. Badosa WD with a stress vertebrae fracture. Sakkari gets Muchova which is one player any seed would like to avoid in R1 @Makedonas

But that's why they have a three strike rule. You can miss one test, two tests for random circumstances but if you're missing three then you have to be very naive to believe it's all accidental. These are professional athletes who know doping tests are part of the job
