Per @NHLPR, the #Canes' three goals in a span of 39 seconds are the fastest three goals in Stanley Cup Final history.

The previous record for fastest three goals by one team in the Final was 56 seconds, achieved more than 72 years ago by the 1954 Canadiens.

4 - Mirra Andreeva is the fourth-youngest player in the Open Era to claim her maiden Women’s Singles title at Roland Garros, older only than Monica Seles (1990), Arantxa Sanchez Vicario (1989) and Steffi Graf (1987). Fantastic.

Andreeva finally won a Grand Slam, beating Chwalinska 63 62 at Roland Garros. The 19-year-old was so focused, her forehand & her backhand were so strong. She likes to change the strokes, and to fool her, a lot. Over the past couple years she was up and down, but now, not anymore.

From champion of a WTA 125 in Portugal to runner-up at #RolandGarros in just seven weeks. Maja Chwalinska just lived one of the best Cinderella stories in tennis and got a well-deserved standing ovation.

Maja Chwalinska has changed her life at this year’s Roland Garros.

Her total career earnings before Roland Garros:

$864,030.

What she’s earned at this tournament:

$1,624,000.

Because the players don’t get the money til after the tournament, she was worried she wouldn’t be able to cover her costs for a hotel as she went further and further in the draw.

Polish company OSHEE had to step in and pay for the rest of her hotel fees.

It’s nothing short of heartwarming to see this happening to such a humble person who has overcome her share of struggles.

She overcame a battle with depression and stopped playing tennis entirely for a period to take care of her mental health.

She wasn’t sure if she’d ever come back to this sport.

Absolutely unreal story. 🥹

Here’s Maja Chwalinska with the trophy of the Oeiras Ladies Open, a WTA 125 in Portugal. That was less than seven weeks ago.

Now, she’s into the Roland-Garros FINAL as a qualifier, with nine wins under her belt in Paris. One of the best Cinderella stories in tennis.

Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska defeats Diana Shnaider 7-6(4), 6-4 to reach the #RolandGarros final vs. Mir…

[ATP Tour @atptour]

19 hours, 42 minutes...

The most time spent on court in Grand Slam history to make a semi-final...

WHAT A FEAT 🕰️

Not the ending anyone wanted to see, but what a great performance from Arnaldi throughout Roland Garros so far ♥️

He advances to the semi-finals as Berrettini retires with injury…

La poisse de Matteo Berrettini avec les blessures ces dernières années.

Espérons pour lui que cela ne soit pas très sérieux et qu'il puisse faire la saison sur gazon, sa meilleure surface, car il a montré du très bon tennis sur ce #RolandGarros.

[ATP Tour @atptour]

The semi-finals are set...

So, tell us. Who wins Roland Garros?! 🏆

Impressive statement by Felix Auger-Aliassime after his loss. Destroyed, on his own words.
