Our chances at qualifying for Paris 2024 in men's basketball are looking really good right now. SGA, Murray, and Wiggins have all had great NBA seasons. US will be most likely be qualifying first in the Americas, but the fight for the second quota is wide open (IMO Canada and Dominican Republic are the most likely to place second, with KAT declaring his intention to play) Certainly helps that Argentina failed to qualify for the World Cup, as they probably would've been the #2 team.

    • Do you remember this?    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Fed_Cup_World_Group     I don't remember too much Husarova, who at that time played alongside Hantuchová in the singles matches. I more know that persons, like Henrietta Nagyova or Martina Sucha.     Sramkova is 28? Wow. She's Paolini's age. I still have the impression that Sramkova is like crazy 20 :P I don`t know what      
    • Goodbye champion! I think I first heard about him during the ATP tournament in Monte Carlo (now ATP 1000 but back then it was called something else) in distant 2003. Time flies really fast, because it's been over 20 years   Return to competition: on paper Italy and the USA are the strongest now, who can play in 1/2 but in principle anyone can beat anyone here, e.g. today the Netherlands vs Spain. In theory, Sinner can guarantees 1 point in every potential singles matches. Now the question is who will be the 2nd racket in Italy and who possibly played doubles: Sinner with Musetti or Bolelli with Vavassori? I remember that Sinner was scheduled to play Musetti in the doubles at the Paris Olympics before his withdrawal.
    • Rafael Nadal (tennis) Officially retired following the conclusion of the Davis Cup, where Spain got eliminated in the quarterfinals.    He’s a 22x Grand Slam Champion (14 at Roland Garros, 5 at the US Open, 2 at the Australian Open, 2 at Wimbledon), “King of Clay”, and an Olympic gold medalist in both singles (2008) and doubles (2016)
    • Spain lost against Netherlands 
    • crazy week in Asia, KSA lost to Indonesia, so called Asian Champion Qatar lost 5-0 to UAE and Korea dropped 2pts against Palestine once again. Australia was lucky to escape another defeat vs Bahrain by a late goal.    Japan will most probably secure the qualification spot (as the first team) in March. Iran also has 16pts so far but the performance is far from good. our team still plays terrible  but somehow manages a way to win matches.    Group C is really interesting, behind Japan we have Australia with 7pts and 4 more teams with 6pts!  everything is possible, BRN, INA and CHN they all have a chance to even clinch a direct qualification spot. Bahrain could end this week with 6pts but some crazy things happened in extra time for them and they ended up with just 1 ! 
    • Using the nations league for playoff qualification is such a bad idea.
    • By this results San Marino is possible to play a qualifiying play-off to 2026 World Cup. If the favorits from pot 1 and 2 will finish 1st and/or 2nd in their qualifiying groups then North Macedonia, Northern Ireland, Moldova and San Marino will play a two rounds of single-match play-offs. So the last team in FIFA ranking could play a world cup qualifying play-off, that's absolutely insane
