Moroni kicked out Lopez in qualifying. With that, Lopez' insane streak ended, this will be the first time since the 2002 (!) Australian Open that we'll have a Grand Slam main draw without Lopez in it. Yep, more than 20 years ago. Moroni had just turned 4 when there last was a Grand Slam without Lopez in the main draw.
 
Andreas Seppi lost as well in the qualifying, the first time since the 2005 French Open he'll miss a main draw at a Grand Slam. The longest and third-longest streaks in Open Era history have now ended.

And 1001st ATP win  

Title for Djokovic in Rome

So, I liked Serbia, Netherlands, Iceland and France. Norway a bit too. Perhaps I could deal with Ukraine.
 
Anyway - Eurovision being all about politics again? Groundbreaking!  If only people who vote (both Jury and common) could separate music from filthy politics it would have more charm, like at the beginnings. I will take any day TISC voting over Eurovision voting  TISC for the WIN!

Iga with another commanding win  The streak is a blessing for the WTA, hope it goes for a few months more.

I offer my congratulations to @Cobi on Spain's win and to @OlympicIRL, @Cinnamon Bun and @Quasit on their medals. 
 
I want to thank everyone who voted for Greece, I'm glad you liked our song.
 
Also, thank you to our teammates in Gyor Rivers who helped us earn a 4th place in the team event. We were close to a medal there, but 4th place is a great result.
 
And of course, a huge thank thank you to @Vektor who hosted a great contest throughout.
 
 
This is how I voted.
 
I can say I voted for all top three songs, but as I was the only one in our jury who voted for Spain and Ireland, my points were not enough for these songs to receive any points from Greece. 
 
Great Britain got our 12 points by earning a total of 21 points, 7 per jury member and that's despite @Makedonas didn't give any points. 9 points, 3 per jury member were needed for a 12th place finish.

As I said during the first session, I came to this edition without any expectations. The most popular songs in Spain right now are not very interesting and I wanted to show something different of the Spanish culture. After searching for a while, I decided to go with a folk song in Galician, one of our three official regional languages (Galego, Català and Euskera/Basque) that was very close to represent us in Eurovision this year. To be honest I did not think this kind of music would be that appealing, but I am very happy with the result. 
 
I want to say thanks to all the jurors who voted for Tanxugueiras and also to everybody who took their time to listen to Terra:

And big thanks to our host @Vektor for organizing everything so perfectly. This was only my sixth edition participating but I can already imagine how difficult it has to be to prepare such enormous amount of templates, information, draws...
 
I know I will not be as good host as you have been these weeks, but I can promise I will do my best to host the next edition...
 
WELCOME TO ESPAÑA 2023!
 
I can't forget to congratulate both  @Cinnamon Bun@Quasit and  @OlympicIRL for their medals. I have no idea how Tanxugueiras have finished above Ed Sheeran, but I guess that's the magic of this contest.
 
And with this victory my next goal will be getting some points from  and .  After 6 editions these are the only 2 countries that I have never managed to receive a single point from (excluding Norway and those who only participated once) .

So my first reserve wins, felicidades España.

@rybak mistook Greece for Cyprus

With TISC done, here are some of the other Danish songs considered:
 
These 2 were also in the top 5 for both @Wumoand I:
 

 

 
And the last 2 in my top 5 including my personal winner:
 

 

 
 

Ons Jabeur wins the WTA 1000 in Madrid which is the biggest trophy a Muslim woman has ever won in tennis.

I would like to thank everyone who made this contest possible. @Sindo for maintaining the site, @OlympicIRL for their guidance, @dcro for their contributions, @vinipereira for the logo of the contest, @mrv86 for the draw tables. @hckošice @Cinnamon Bun @Cobi @Wumo for their participation in the draw. And of course I would like to thank all the jury members who participated in the contest.
 
And as the jury member of Hungary I would also like to thank everyone who voted for our song. I never expected this song to reach the 6th place, that was the most surprising result of the contest for me. Thank you! 

I'm terribly sorry for not being here during my voting, but did i just witness FINLAND HAVING THE DAMN 4TH PLACE??!? 4TH?!? 

ALSO A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE GIVING FINLAND POINTS! I WILL THANK YOU TOMORROW!

Spain 12
 
 
My first TISC participation was the 2019 Open contest and guess what TISC meme originated from that contest? I guess the prophecy was right, Spain had to win the contest which was hosted by me.  Joking aside, Spain collected 160 points, 4 x 12 pts from    , 1 x 11 pts from  and 3 x 10 pts from   . There are no questions about which was the strongest nation of this contest. I would like to congratulate @Cobi, Spain was long overdue for this kind of success in TISC. And now we shall end the contest the way every song contest should, with the winning song.
 
Goodbye 2022 Annual Contest, Goodbye Hungary, see ya at the next contest, hopefully in Czech Republic, and then next year in Spain!
