Why no Mannarino?

He has literally the worst clay court record of any ATP players (with at least 50 games) going back to at least 1990.

 

Even if he wanted to go he, frankly, shouldn’t be selected by his federation anyway.

Yes I think :POL (Swiatek/Hurkacz), :GER (Siegemund/Zverev) will be the main favourites for the medals but also :GRE (Sakkari/Tsitsipas) as well.

 

We do not know about other teams, for example :ITA (Paolini/Sinner), or :ESP (Sorribes Tormo/Alcaraz), but I don't think these teams have ever played together and probably the men might not want to play mixed in addition to singles and men's doubles? Both of them are already injury prone as it is.

 

As you said though, really anyone in the mixed draw can win a medal as it is only 16 teams so all of them will be good teams.

I would say Granollers/Badosa is a more likely :ESP team, since Sorribes/Alcaraz already are going to play the two other events.

I understand for Alcaraz but why not Sorribes playing three events? It's not like she is a top player and expected to go deep the way Alcaraz is.

so happy for Varvara Gracheva who was a nationalized Russian Frenchwoman who qualified at the last minute, a great moment of emotion when she sang the Marseillaise with the audience at Roland Garros when she won her last match. The French public adopted it! it's nice

So is it for sure that Thiago Monteiro of Brazil qualifies? There are four Argentines in the top 56 ahead of Diaz Acosta, but I was wondering what if one of them is not eligible or does not want to go.  Would this mean the fourth Argentine spot goes to Acosta as a reallocated quota with Monteiro qualifying, or does Diaz Acosta retain his ITF spot?

    • Maybe small but this is our worst performance at the European Championships since the post-Covid period and that's a fact. Germany and Norway surprised with their form here. However, only in Italy are things like this possible, such as changing the head coach of the team with less than two years to go before the home games...
    • In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.
    • Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC
    • Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.
    • Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.

    • Daniel Huber picked up a kee injury during training at Lillehammer.   Piotr Żyła will skip the season opener because of a knee injury too.
    • Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
