^ totally, no point watching the final. Djokobot can't be taken down by that package.

 

 

And what a fluke Thiem, just like every under 26 (!) player in ATP. So many years and still the same people dominating, unprecedented in Tennis.

Do someone know the "Torneo dell'Avvenire", an Under 16 important tournament played in Milan ?   I am doing the assistant referee in this tournament and I am liking this experience a lot, if

By winning against Nadal, Zverev could become the first 18 year old to reach the quarterfinal of a masters tournament since Nadal himself in 2005. The only other 18 yo to do that in this century was R

Zverev and Kyrgios are coming and dont forget Kuhn and Auger Aliassime, they are all huge talents. I agree about the final, Djokovic should win in 3 sets, Wawrinka wouldve had a realistic chance to beat Djokovic. Really sad times without Federer and Nadal. Lets hope for a miracle, go Andy! :lol:

Yeah, as a neutral person when it comes to tennis, the men's tour is not exactly that great....I mean, Djokovic, Federer, Nadal and Murray are obviously great players, but come on, I've sort of had enough of always seeing the same names mixed with a Wawrinka or something every now and then...

 

The women's tour is much more interesting in the sense that there are more new names coming up, although of course with Serena it's still same old same old so hopefully she'll be done anytime soon :p

Sorry, i thought that Federer won the French Open one time more than Djokovic, you should never trust Wikipedia, probably some Djokovic hater manipulated the data. :wacko:

Mens tennis is higher quality and you are less likely to get a heart attack, which can happen very easily if you watch womens tennis, but its also much more predictable and therefore less interesting in my opinion. I really wonder what Serena's dominance tells us about Serena herself. Is she only that dominant because everyone else is so weak or does the fact that no one else is really consistent tell us that Serena is even more special, because she is the only one who is consistent? About a decade ago we had players like Clijsters, Henin or peak Venus who also won multiple slams, i really wonder what (if anything) changed since then? I think Muguruza has the potential to win multiple slams, but i dont know about all the other upcoming players, so its very likely that we will have many different (surprising) slam winners in 2-3 years.

 

Edit: I forgot about Bencic. In my opinion she will be the dominant player in a couple of years, who will win many slams, but only if she can solve her health problems.

I have to say that Kyrios is not player for GS title. Not in next 4 years. He is born in 1995. and he has only one atp title. And you expect that he will win GS in next 2-3 years. No way.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Not counting Colturi the last time an Italian women skier stood on the podium of the World Cup in a special slalom was in 2011:     -Manuela Moelgg: 4.01.2011..       The last Italian victory was:     -Chiara Costazza: 29.12.2007...         In my opinion the best slalom skier on the Italian team is still Federica Brignone, who doesn`t trains in this discipline anymore. If she did, she would probably easily beat skiers like Peterlini, Rossetti or Della Mea. I don't understand why we have such problems in this competition? Bad training methods, bad coaches? I fear that Colturi would also be reduced to mediocrity by this hopeless Italian staff, who are unable to train an athlete for a dozen or so years to reach a single World Cup podium. Radical changes should have been implemented long ago, because the current state of affairs doesn`t guarantee any progress in the near future...

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Early Qualification Predictions

      I'll give you the curling comments based on your expertise. But, I will say that GB have only ever not qualified a curling team once, the mixed pair in 2018. They just have a way of upping their game when the olympics come around.    I hope I'm wrong but I have a funny feeling that Huw Nightingale won't qualify and as such neither will the Mixed Team. It feels a bit like the Mixed Team Skeet in Paris, where Ben Llewellin missed out on qualifying for the individual so the team couldn't compete, despite being World Champions 2 years prior.    Again, you definately know more about ice hockey than me but I feel like, apart from vs Norway, the Team wasn't outplayed in the final qualifier. Albeit intermittently, the team has been in the top division of the world championships for a few years now, so they do have the quality to compete for an Olympic Berth

      Think you're you're being a little pessimistic here. In men's slalom the #3 GB skier is in the world top 40 and the 3 Carrick-Smith teenagers are jumping up the rankings too. I'd actually be slightly disappointed if we didn't have a full team of 4 slalom skiers plus 2 in the women's event. The speed events are going to be a big challenge though   EDIT - Sorry, #3 GB slalom skier is actually ranked #41 in the world

      The big problem with Nines is that every attempt at a world competition has failed badly. A World Cup in 2019 was not repeated again and a World Club tournament was abandoned 20 years years ago due to a lack of interest. I'm not even sure the variant is played anywhere these days.

      I believe, the IOC has admitted the cap will have to be relaxed for 2028.   I think they will go with what you proposed. 10,500 for core sports plus some for extra sports

      Slovakia   Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (5) - As usual, 3 W & 2 M. Petra Vlhová will be accompanied by 2 other girls, I guess Rebeka Jančová should be one of them, no idea who will be the other one. For the men team, it is going to be again the Žampa bros clan with one last dance for Adam and once again joind by his younger brother Andreas. Cross Country Skiing  (4) - As always in the last couple of games, I expect a Coubertine-like participation in this sport with a perfect Bach-esque gender equality with 2 M and 2 W in order to start in both Team sprints semifinals. Do not ask me the names, I have absolutely no idea Ski Jumping  (2) - There a quite solid chance to finally return in this beautiful sport for Slovakia since the extinction of the dinosaurs. The young Kapustík siblings, Hektor and his sister Kira are the biggest chances for this history making, Among women it would be an absolute premiere, plus there a minor chance that Kira Kapustíková may be, if all planets align perfectly accompanied by another girl Tamara Mesíková. Nordic Combined  (0) - Maybe in Abu Dhabi 2042 or New Trumpopolis 2046 Freestyle Skiing  (1) - Michael Oravec in Freeski Big Air & Slopestyle is the only realistic chance, there some young girls trying ski cross, but still too long way to go here Snowboarding  (2) - Klaudia Medlová once returned from injuries should qualify for her last games in Big Air + Slopestyle. Among men in the same disciplines we may have an olympic debut with Samuel Jaroš. Biathlon  (6) - Hopefully with the returns of Paja Fialková (now Batovská) and Nastya Kuzmina we will win enough points to qualify a full female squad alongside the young Ema Kapustová and one of the Remeňová sisters to form a relay. Among men, the situation is more complicated, I hope at least 2 guys will make it (The biggest chances I see for the young talent Borguľa and maybe Sklenárik to join him) to have at least a mixed relay, a full men relay hope is utopic Ski Mountaineering  (2) - Funny enough, probably our biggest medal chance is this niche sport with Marianna Jagerčíková in W Sprint, alongside her male partner Jakub Šiarnik we should start also in the Mixed relay     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (1) - There a fresh young czech import who can qualify us for the very first time in this sport, his name is Lukáš Steklý, but since I have zero clue about this sport I can not say how much it is also realistic though Short Track Speed Skating  (0) - Would be nice to have again a participation in this, we have a couple of talented young girls, but still far from the required level, so probably none again Figure Skating  (1) - The young Adam Hagara is our solid chance for participating, he will need a good dose of luck in the process though, and as knowing the good old mathematical laws about the equation between Slovakia and Luck it will end by Zero athletes     Sleigh Sports   Luge  (5) - 2 guys in Singles with the immortal Highlander Ninis, a pair in Doubles and at least one female should qualify, at least I hope so Skeleton  (0) - There one kid trying the stuff, but no chance unless he swithc nationality to Benin or Tuvalu for the free pass Bobsleigh  (1) - Viki Čerňanská I do believe shoud repeat her Olympic experience from Beijing in the monobobs once again     Team Sports   Curling  (0) - lol Ice Hockey  (25) - Embarassement and national mourning avoided, The National pride qualified again and continue the streak of never missing any winter olympic tournament since the independence. With very likely the most talented generation our hockey ever had, Cortina is a great journey we are looking forward. Hail to the god Slafkovský everyone         Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (57) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (30)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (50)
