You can expect winning in the 90th minute, as that is usually how our matches end.

The shot clock actually starts after the umpire announces the result. So after a long rally, the umpire takes a few seconds longer, so the players can take a breather and then start the clock. They can do 1-2 harmful warnings, but after that no one will enforce the shot clock so players can lose games, sets.

With it being October, there is already concern about the weather on some passes and stages for week 3. I think some of the favorites and teams are shifting decisions in getting the pink early in case of bad weather and whoever needs to get back time, will have a hard time with canceled climbs by the final week. Though our commentators were joking today, that the authorities have said that in any case the riders will go through Stelvio, even if it's behind a snowplow.

Oh Dominic, Dominic.. Props for all the fight in this brutal match, and probably the sunday 5-setter played a factor too, but it showed again that there is only one Big 3 in tennis and no one can obtain that level. I thought after the US win and the beginning of RG he has finally reached the next level, but guess that level is not unobtainable for anyone else.

Sad news for every Blacklist fan, as the actor who played Glen has passed away He was one of my favorites, was a scene strealer every time he made an appearance and was one of the very few, who had charisma on the level of James Spader. Oh, man... https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/clark-middleton-dead-the-blacklist-twin-peaks-kill-bill-2-1234793399/#article-comments

If today's stage was any indicator, we have a wild, wild Giro ahead (pretty much like every year)

I will just insert my motto for the current IOC: "Always expect the worst and be prepared when they go even worser!"

The smugness of Alaphillipe pays off again.

Granted Thiem has many errors, but how is Gaston playing like this today, but regularly loses on Challengers/Futures? Pull yourself together Dominic!

Only the first game of the match and already our commentator said "the czech"

Nah, let's put everything on Korda

If it was with the traditional Davis Cup format, i think it would have ment more to win it for a country like Italy. With this new 1 week thing, it lost a big chunk of it's status.

Oh Simona, Simona ....

Didn't you watch the Tour, he was there too

After 10 years, we again have 2 teams in the EL group stage Just in time before UEFA closes the tournament for only the top 15 countries....

Of course they would do no such things.

So he is going to switch to a Biden campaign - stay inside and don't see anyone
