Yes. The rule is stupid when a male player can change his shirt on court without problems, while a female player has to go inside to change her shirt 'because God forbid someone sees her top'. I wonder how people who make those rules ever go to a swimming pool or a beach, do they poke their eyes out when they see.....omg, a bikini?

 

I blame Cornet's memory lapse. This is a non-issue nobody would even talk about if she knew which side is which. Why are we even talking about this now? Let's move on.

After AO I still had some hopes, but IW and Miami where the ones I thought - okay, this guy is done. And then, miracle (Vajda) happens. Od Vajde uvek vajde :d

Very sad for Del Potro, he is more talented than Djokovic but he just was injured too often. I hope that Djokovic will soon disappear again, him and Murray dominating tennis was the most boring period in this sport ever, even Grandparer and Nadal battling it out was more interesting. Of course the ultimate goal has to be Kyrgios, Felix and Denis winning slams as soon as possible. Kyrgios can do it if he can convince Lahyani to become his coach.

Well, we definitely should talk more about Osaka. I do expect her to have poor results during Asian swing, but it is not necessary. Also, I think she is not that kind of player that is gonna disappear are all other "surprising" winners. She's not gonna have Halep's consistency but she will be there, most likely with better overall post-Slam year than Ostapenko.

Wozniacki was the most surprising slam winner ever and she still became number 1 if i remember correctly, gonna be hard for Osaka to top that.

Great that he was able to use the absence of Auger-Aliassime, Kuhn, Molleker and the other guys. Doesn't mean much for his future though.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
