Zwycięzca chce rewanżu, ale przeciwnik odpada z gry.

Because some Polish masculine personal nouns end in -a. Zwycięzca is one of them.

So even though the ending may look feminine to an English-speaking learner, in this sentence it means the winner and is treated grammatically as a masculine personal noun. Its nominative singular form is zwycięzca.

For a specifically female winner, Polish often uses zwyciężczyni.

Chce is the 3rd person singular form of chcieć = to want.

So:

• ja chcę = I want
• ty chcesz = you want
• on / ona / ono chce = he / she / it wants

Here the subject is zwycięzca, so zwycięzca chce means the winner wants.

Because after chcieć, Polish often uses the genitive case for the thing wanted.

The base form is:

• rewanż = rematch / revenge / return favor, depending on context

But after chce, it becomes:

• chce rewanżu = wants a rematch

So rewanżu is the genitive singular form of rewanż.

In this sentence, rewanż most naturally means a rematch.

That is especially common in sports or competition contexts:

• chcieć rewanżu = to want a rematch

But rewanż can also mean:

• returning a favor
• sometimes revenge in a lighter, competitive sense

It is usually less dark or dramatic than zemsta, which means revenge in the stronger sense.

Odpada comes from odpadać, which can mean to drop out, to be eliminated, or to be out.

In this sentence:

• przeciwnik odpada z gry = the opponent is out of the game / the opponent is eliminated

So it suggests that the opponent can no longer continue, compete, or be considered.

Because z here means from / out of, and with that meaning it takes the genitive case.

The noun is:

• gra = game

Its genitive singular form is:

• gry

So:

• z gry = out of the game / from the game

This is part of the common expression odpadać z gry.

It can be both.

It can be literal:

• someone is eliminated from an actual game, match, contest, or tournament

It can also be figurative:

• someone is no longer a candidate
• someone is no longer relevant
• an option is no longer possible

So the phrase can work in sports, politics, competition, dating, business, and similar contexts.

Because in Polish, ale = but, and when it connects two clauses, it is normally preceded by a comma.

So:

• Zwycięzca chce rewanżu, ale przeciwnik odpada z gry.

This is standard Polish punctuation.

Yes. Polish word order is more flexible than English because grammatical endings carry a lot of information.

The neutral order here is:

• Zwycięzca chce rewanżu, ale przeciwnik odpada z gry.

But other orders are possible for emphasis, for example:

• Rewanżu chce zwycięzca, ale przeciwnik odpada z gry.

That would sound more marked and emphasize rewanżu.

So the given version is the most natural, straightforward way to say it.

Yes, both verbs are in the present tense:

• chce = wants
• odpada = drops out / is eliminated

In English, depending on context, you might translate it as:

• The winner wants a rematch, but the opponent is out of the game.
• The winner wants a rematch, but the opponent gets eliminated.

Polish present tense can sometimes sound a little broader than English present tense, so the best English version depends on context.

The subject is przeciwnik = the opponent.

So the second clause breaks down like this:

• przeciwnik = opponent
• odpada = is eliminated / drops out
• z gry = out of the game

Together:

• przeciwnik odpada z gry = the opponent is out of the game
