From the court – tennis information published photos of Iga Świątek and Maja Chwalińska from before their first direct match at the professional level and after their first encounter in the main WTA circuit. The author pointed out that there was a 10-year gap between the photographs, and today's match was spectacular, especially in the first set. He expressed hope that the tennis players will meet more often at tournaments and that their rivalry will drive Polish and world tennis in the upcoming seasons. #zkortu #tenis #WTA #IgaŚwiątek (translated)

Marcin Borzęcki assessed that Polish teams in the Europa League will more often face large clubs with hundreds of millions in the transfer market, and less frequently weaker opponents. He added that there will also be teams with which Polish clubs can compete on a more level playing field. Borzęcki appealed not to panic or succumb to populist slogans about "clarifying the Ekstraklasa." He noted that Polish teams have a long way to go compared to clubs like Bayer or Benfica, but matches against them can be an opportunity for learning. In his opinion, Thursday's matches will likely end in victories less often, but they may bring greater benefits for long-term development. #LigaEuropy #Ekstraklasa #piłkaNożna (translated)

From the court - tennis information reported that Karolina Muchova was eliminated from the Wuhan Open after losing to Diana Sznajder 5:7, 3:6. The author noted that the day before, during Muchova's match against Caty McNally, such an outcome could have been expected. Sznajder advanced to the quarterfinals. According to the author, the result meant that the battle for a spot in the WTA Finals would last at least until the tournament in Ningbo, and possibly also until Tokyo. In the current Race ranking cited by him, Muchova had 4735 points, and after her elimination from the Wuhan Open, also Marta Kostiuk - 3920. Iga Świątek had 3919 points and could reach a maximum of 4799 after the tournament ended. The author also expressed support for Świątek. #zkortu #WuhanOpen #tennis #WTA (translated)

Jarosław Królewski wrote that before the 24th minute of the match between Legia and Wisła, in his opinion, the Krakow team was at least equal, if not better than their rivals. They were creating chances and gradually taking control of the game, which — as he pointed out — was also mentioned by coach Mariusz Jop. Królewski accused the referee of allowing a goal for Legia despite two mistakes in one situation, and moments later not awarding a clear penalty for Wisła. He claimed these decisions changed the dynamic of the match: Wisła stopped playing as before, and Legia could retreat, limit risks, and control the game. The author emphasized that refereeing decisions affect not only individual actions or goals but also the strategy and behavior of both teams as well as the further course of the game. He noted that before the 25th minute, the statistics for Legia and Wisła were: shots 1:3, shots on target 1:1, possession 45%-55%, and xG 0.17-0.59. Królewski also mentioned bottles thrown onto the pitch, the refusal to allow Wisła fans into the stadium, the television station inviting editors from LW news services, and skipping difficult topics on air. He also pointed out the incorrect Wisła emblem on the screens and the announcer mispronouncing the names of players, including Artur Rodado, as well as presenting them in the feminine form. He wrote that he found it hard to rule out intentional actions in some of these cases. According to Królewski, there was a lack of respect, fairness, and equal rules during the match. He considered that the game was not an example of professional football worth remembering. #PiłkaNożna #Futbol #Sędziowanie (translated)

He noted that the win was significant in the competition for the WTA Finals. #Świątek #tenis #WTA (translated)

Argument about fair competition is raised by Jarosław Królewski. We can often say that a certain team plays with the twelfth player. Wisła Kraków stands by the statement that the lack of fans affects the result of sporting competition. Wisła fans are very fanatical; we see how they perform at their own stadium. The atmosphere at the Biała Gwiazda stadium is great. It has some justification. #WisłaKraków #kibice #rywalizacja (translated)

"To niedopuszczalne, że Wojciech Szczęsny wciąż gra. Możemy to potraktować jako żart, ale to poważna sprawa. Rozumiem, że wystawiłeś go wczoraj, gdy wynik meczu był już rozstrzygnięty, ale to wszystko. Jesteśmy mu bardzo wdzięczni za to, co wniósł, zwłaszcza jeśli chodzi o atmosferę w szatni, ale teraz chodzi o rywalizację. Niech zagra Dominik Livaković. Był świetnym bramkarzem, ale czas nie oszczędza nikogo. Flick musi zaprowadzić porządek. Jeśli Joan Garcia ma uraz, to Livakovic musi zagrać."
