If Cirstea can keep holding, the set’ll come down to a few points here and there, but up 40-15 she invites pressure by going long on the forehand … then closes out the game with a serve out wide and clean-up swing-volley. Andreeva leads 6-0 1-2. moryak.biz

This is, of course, a sad day for all ADHD-types – no longer can our eyes dart around three or four screens, various matches compartmentalised into various parts of brain, while merging into one in another. But what an opportunity to hyper-focus and fully immerse into what we hope will be a succession of epics … in which regard Cirstea has closed from 40-0 to 40-30 with the help of a lovely backhand winner and a double, then Andreeva goes long and do we got ourselves a ball-game? Er, well a forehand winner is followed by an ace – the umpire has to check the mark as both players thought it was wide – and we’re level at 1-1 in set two.

Smith played as a left center-back in a three-man defense but was repeatedly exposed by the Norwegian attack. The 29-year-old, playing his first international match after numerous injury absences, admitted he was not good enough. Sweden lost 1-3 at Ullevaal Stadion and now prepares for the World Cup group stage against Tunisia, Netherlands, and Japan.

After signing England midfielder Anthony Gordon from Newcastle, 16 Barcelona players will represent the United States, Canada and Mexico at the World Cup. This puts Barça level with Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, all also fielding 16 internationals.
