Credit to Ospreys for taking a 27-21 win away from home vs Stormers. Not that many rugby fans would have predicted that. Never felt like Stormers truly found their level and Ospreys kept Willemse fairly quiet too.

Always will prioritise watching a relegation six pointer over absolutely anything else. Verona and Udinese has so much on it, feel like Verona have looked the more likely but its poised nicely for this second half. 0-0 so far.

Garbine Muguruza. What an icon, and what a career. Wasn’t a massive fave of mine, but she achieved a great deal. Loved her matches with Angie, and that run at WTA finals in 2021 was special

Marta Kostyuk manages to outdo Vondrousova in making opponents play another shot off tricky balls. Match was on her racquet, Vondrousova mainly relying on Kostyuk's UFE for points. Marta Into another 500 final and arguably the biggest of her career

Empoli secure a vital win vs Napoli which could be crucial in the fight against relegation. Osimhen not quite able to effect the game and Empoli pretty comfortable throughout after the early goal...

Calling time on a stellar career 💫

Former World No.1 Garbiñe Muguruza announces her retirement from professional tennis, having locked in her status as one of the game’s greats.

#GraciasGarbiñe

Heck of an achievement for Munster to go away from home vs Bulls and beat them in their own back yard. Bulls looked in the ascendancy at start of the second but red card changed everything. Bulls not able to threaten at all from there.

Bulls vs Munster is very much delivering so far. Not much in the way of dominant territory or control, but Bulls having the slight edge so far. So tough to beat them in their own ground. 3rd vs 4th. So enticingly poised here.

Garbi may be one of the biggest What ifs....so many enticing matchups that I'd have loved to have seen her feature in in modern tennis.

We are absolutely gutted Garbiñe Muguruza but thank you for everything & all the precious memories. We will miss you so much!! Hearts broken but always a legend👏👏👏🎾💕💕😭😭😭😭Always your Mugu Maniacs!

Iga loses to Rybakina 3-6 6-4 3-6, 1st loss in Stuttgart. Short rallies and quick points with this matchup being so focused on serve/return in the slicker indoor clay conditions. Lovely BHs DTL and in the 2nd set she upped her return aggression as Rybakina's 1st serve % went down

This was an insanely close match btw. Only 5 points in it and pretty close in winners and UFE too. With how consistent these players are right now, Swiatek vs Rybakina could be the defining rivalry of 2024

Yeah I work in tennis, but can't see myself being involved much longer once Vika goes.

Garbine Muguruza had an outstanding career on the WTA Tour and can now enjoy retirement.

• 449-238 Career Record
• 2 Grand Slam Titles

• 4 Weeks as World #1
• 10 WTA Titles

BREAKING:

Garbiñe Muguruza announces her retirement from professional tennis.

Two-time Grand Slam Champion.

A legendary ambassador for Spanish tennis.

You will be missed. 🥹

I don't think I'll ever enjoy tennis the same way with Muguruza retired.

Two best players of the year so far, but the match itself kinda dragged with so much focus on serve/return and short rallies. Rybakina's 1st serve % the main difference maker in allowing Iga for much on return or not. BH DTL the one thing working for Świątek practically always.

One of my lasting memorabilia of you. You made an eager tennis fan like me stay engaged in the sport for years. I will always be thankful of the impact you had on my life. Thank you Garbiñe Muguruza and god bless you.

Absolutely emotional. She was one of the biggest parts of my tennis-viewing. Thanks for everything you brought to my life, Garbi.

Dragons well-beaten in the end and we never really travel well away from home, no less against a side like Benetton. All of our tries come from when we have space to play into and counter-attack. We couldn't crack an egg when a team is set in their structure.
