“I feel like I still cannot process this happening,” says Kostyuk, also noting how hot it is. “The longer you stay on this surface, the worse you feel.” She adds that the court wasn’t easy given the heat and wind, especially against an opponent on a roll having played 17 consecutive matches on grass – more than Kostyuk in her entire career. So it was very difficult and she still can’t believe it.

She was struggling to break the whole match so is really happy with the last two service-games she faced, and then thanks the crowd for their contribution. forumteam.blog

In pushing Fifa to reverse Folarin Balogun’s suspension, the president did the most American thing possible: assert unasked-for power to get his way

The story of Garrincha’s red card in the 1962 World Cup is the stuff of legend.

After a second week of July with completely summer-like conditions, Barcelona is preparing for the end of its intense heat wave. According to the Meteorological Service of Catalonia (Meteocat), a new warm air mass has brought extremely high temperatures since last weekend, with Monday marking one of the days of maximum intensity.

The arrival of rain is expected to bring relief to residents who have endured the soaring temperatures. This follows an initial intense heat episode that occurred in June, with the current wave marking another period of extreme weather in the region.

El técnico Pedro Martínez se ha convertido este lunes en el nuevo entrenador del Real Madrid de Baloncesto, según informó el club, tras desvincularse del Valencia Basket, con el que ganó la Liga Endesa y la Supercopa la pasada temporada. “El Real Madrid C. F. y Pedro Martínez han llegado a un acuerdo por el que queda vinculado a nuestro club para ser el entrenador del primer equipo de baloncesto durante las próximas tres temporadas, hasta el final de la 2028-2029”, indicó la entidad en un comunicado.

We haven’t even mentioned Balogun-gate yet.

He is now free to play in the last-16 game against Belgium.

Sources have told the Guardian that Trump made three calls to Fifa, starting from Wednesday, to ensure that the change was made.
