Iga Swiatek has never lost a Grand Slam final

In contrast to Swiatek's joy elsewhere, as evidenced by four French Open titles, a US Open crown, and semi-final appearances at the Australian Open, Wimbledon has rarely served as a tailored hunting ground. But her fortunes flipped over two weeks in which she lost just 35 games on her way to victory, including only two during the semi-finals and final.

 "https://www.profitableratecpm.com/ckc53kxqhi?key=a67889f3b06ba023faec894f9ae01fd2 that it's on grass, for sure it makes it more special, I would say, and more unexpected," she said.

 "Since I know I can play well and know I can, like, show it every year at Roland Garros, it definitely feels like the emotions are bigger." Here, I wasn't sure of that.  I also needed to prove that to myself.

 "I worked really hard to win all the other slams.  So there's no point in choosing between them.  But this one and the US Open for sure feel like just, I don't know, better because no one expected that.

 "It wasn't a relief.  It was more of just good tennis and working to make it happen, yeah, without this baggage on your shoulders."

"Obviously the finals are sometimes, when I watched other players playing, I could see the difference in the level.  Finals sometimes are a bit ugly becau se there's so much stress and everything.  I kind of used the experience from before.
 "Today I just wanted to enjoy the time that I had on the Centre Court and enjoy the last hours of me playing well on grass 'cause who knows if it's going to happen again (smiling).  I just focused on that and I really had fun.  Obviously I was stressed, as anybody would be.  But I wanted to just do my job, and that's it."

Football Women Germany vs Sweden

https://www.theguardian.com/football Sweden has made a correct statement with that.https://www.profitableratecpm.com/wu3wrn1m?key=8e57af4173a8d274620127b91610068a Even though Germany only had ten women on the field for the majority of the game, they were still reeling prior to Carlotta Wamser's dismissal. In a frantic first ten minutes, the Germans could have had a few more goals thanks to Jule Brand's first-half goal. But when Stina Blackstenius scored an equalizer, the game dramatically changed, and from that point on, it was all Sweden.
Y Kosovare Asllani held everything together in the middle of the park, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd caused chaos on the right, and Blackstenius displayed impressive leadership of the line. Sweden go into the quarters with the wind in their sail; Germany progress too, but they’ve got a few things to think about.
