🇫🇷 The French Open is just around the corner, and we couldn't be more excited! Here are some lesser-known, fascinating facts about this grand slam event to rally your spirits: 🎾 Night Matches Under the Lights: Starting in 2021, the French Open introduced night sessions under the lights, a first in its long history. This move not only added a dramatic flair to the matches but also allowed more fans to catch the action after work. 🎾 Unique Ball Change: Unlike other grand slams, the French Open changes its tennis balls every seven games instead of nine. This is because the clay surface wears the balls down more quickly, affecting how they play during long matches. 🎾 The Youngest Champ: Monica Seles holds the record for the youngest champion in the French Open history, winning the title at just 16 years and 6 months old in 1990. Her victory paved the way for a new era of young winners in tennis. 🎾 Pigeon Problems: Roland Garros has had its share of feathery interruptions. The venue used trained hawks to scare away pigeons that sometimes disrupt play by flying dangerously close to the courts. #FrenchOpen #TheFrenshOpen #FrenchOpen2024 #Sportscover #sportsinsurance #insurance #insurancebroker #insuranceagent #injuryinsurance #injurycover

A new Chinese Sports Superstar is born! Zheng Qinwen's spectacular performance in this year's Australian Open has captured the attention of Chinese tennis fans and could signify the rise of a new Chinese sports superstar. Along with other up-and-coming Chinese players, Zheng is leading a resurgence of the sport in China, which is a massive boost for the growth of tennis participation and fan base in the country, and the sports economy as a whole. The politically charged scenario that the WTA faced in China a couple of years ago, with the Peng Shuai issue, and struggles with the pandemic event cancellations, have been brushed aside and the commercial juggernaut, the Chinese sports market represents for international rights holders is now chugging along nicely again. #tennis #chinasports #sportseconomy #sportsmarketing #WTA #china Tennis Australia Australian Open Chinese Tennis Association WTA ATP Tour ATP Media https://lnkd.in/esaJhbRB

Olympiacos make history as Greece’s first-ever senior European champions, as they win the 2024 UEFA Europa Conference League 🇬🇷🏆! However, their results off the pitch doesn’t reflect their success on the pitch. 📈 Looking at Olympiacos’ most recent financials from the 2022/23 season, it’s evident that it’s a club which is experiencing negative growth. The Greek club recorded a total operating revenue of €46 million, which is -€4 million compared to the previous season (€50M in 2021/22). Their revenue in the 2022/23 season was broken down like this: 👕 €20M in commercial revenue 📺 €19M in broadcasting revenue 🏟️ €6M in matchday revenue 💰 And with expenses of €65 million, that leaves Olympiacos with a -€19 million loss, before player trading, from the most recent financial year. #olympiacos #uefa #conferenceleague #uecl

Day 16 of regular contents on social media 😁 Did you know that the Euro 2020 tournament, played in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was the first European Championship to be held across multiple countries? ⚽🌍 This unique format saw 11 cities in 11 different nations host matches, stretching from Baku in Azerbaijan to Glasgow in Scotland. The idea behind this pan-European tournament was to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the first European Championship, held in 1960. While the concept received mixed reactions, it certainly made for an interesting logistical challenge and a truly continent-wide celebration of football. Another fascinating fact about this tournament is that it featured the highest scoring final in the history of the European Championship. Italy's victory over England in a nail-biting penalty shootout came after a 1-1 draw, bringing the total goals in the final to 2 - a record when including the decisive penalties. The Euro Cup continues to be one of the most-watched sporting events globally, showcasing not just athletic prowess but also the rich tapestry of European cultures and the unifying power of football.
