Elina Svitolina beats Anna Blinkova for the second time in six days - after the Strasbourg final this time she wins RG R3 2-6 6-2 7-5. Elise Mertens completely destoyed (3) Jessica Pegula 6-1 6-3. (2) Aryna Sabalenka beat Kamilla Rakhimova 6-2 6-2 and only conducted a private press conference for journalists allowed by the organizers so no political questions anymore.

Yeah, the complete slander of Jokic's MVP awards in the last two years could backfire into the US media face in the next week. Now they have to talk about the Nuggets and usually say that "this is a boring team" as a compliment. No offense to Heat but I hope Nuggets win the title and force the media to bend over backwards to justify how this happened

The China ban is over. WTA has finally released the post USO calendar and will host 6 tournaments in China (Guangzhou, Ningbo, Beijing, Zhengzhou, Nanchang & Zhuhai YEC). The Peng Shuai news drama is well and truly over and there was nobody who could replace the Chinese money.

beat in basketball It's truly a year of miracles after we managed to beat in ice hockey few weeks back @QuasitYeah, all five teams with 2-2 record.

Olga Danilovic beats Jasmine Paolini in Round 2 and will return to Top 100 for the first time since October 2018. She basically did nothing since contracting COVID at the Tokyo OG but she just won the ITF 100k Villa de Madrid and her spike of form continues in Paris.

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.
