6th to 12th June
Will the unbeaten run become a Grand Slam title?
Poland's 21-year-old Iga Natalia Świątek faces USA's 18-year-old Cori "Coco" Gauff later today in the Women's Singles Final of Roland Garros to win her second Grand Slam title of her career. For Świątek this is particularly an important milestone as the Polish star is currently on an unbeaten run of 34 matches that equal Serena Williams set in 2013. Should Świątek win, it will take her to a record-equaling 35-match winning streak that equals Venus Williams set in 2000. She will come up against the formidable form of Gauff equally determined to win her first Grand Slam. For the men, Spain's Rafael Nadal will face Norway's Casper Ruud on Sunday. Nadal, who many will consider to be the Master of Roland Garros, the passage to the final was made easier by the unfortunate injury to Germany's Alexander Zverev in the semi-final yesterday. Should Nadal overcome Ruud on Sunday, it will become Grand Slam No.22 for the 36-year-old tennis star.
Finland's men's ice hockey team did it last Sunday by beating their main rivals Canada in the final of the World Championship in Helsinki. The win of 4-3 was completed in overtime and overturned a result between the same two teams in Canada last year. The Czech Republic routed USA 8-4 to claim bronze. The Windsurfing Raceboard World Championships were held in Balatonföldvár in Hungary. It became Slovakia's Patrik Pollak's event who won 9 of the 12 races to take the world title ahead of Czech Petr Kucera. USA’s Michael Norman set a Diamond League 400m record in Eugene on Saturday with a time of 43.60. Elsewhere, the Netherland's Femke Bol smashed the world 300m hurdles best with a 36.86 run in Ostrava. Jai Hindley became the first Australian to win the Giro d'Italia as the 26-year-old eased home in the time trial of the final stage. Hindley previously lost the race in the final day's time trial in 2020.
Germany's Valentin Wernz and Nina Eim completed a double for their country by claiming the Elite Men's and Women's 2022 Europe Triathlon Championship titles in Olsztyn, Poland. Two of the unofficial Triple Crown of Motor Racing completed last week. In the street circuit of Monte Carlo, Sergio Perez claimed the Monaco Grand Prix and became the most successful Mexican Formula One driver. Over at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Sweden's Marcus Ericsson took his first INDYCAR career victory in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Only six points separate the top three men's teams in the World Rugby Sevens Series. Australia won in London and moved to two points behind leaders South Africa. Los Angeles will determine the 2022 champions in the final weekend of August.
In golf South Korea's Eun-Hee Ji won the Ladies Professional Golf Association Match-Play in Las Vegas. Finalissima is an inaugural football cup between the champions of South America and Europe. The match featured Argentina against Italy at Wembley Stadium in London. Argentina produced a superb performance to win 3-0. Staying with football and the future stars of the game as France came from behind to beat the Netherlands 2-1 in the UEFA Men's U17 European Championship. Finally, South Korea have taken their fifth title after a close battle with Malaysia in the final of the Hockey Asia Cup held in Jakarta.
Until next time, have a great week in sport.
