What's so special about Raonic? :red:

 

On a Dutch forum he's usually seen as the biggest "douche" on the Tour, as in, a "boring, anonymous" player apart from some sick serves. Personally I really don't know enough about it to judge that, so I don't understand why people say such negative things and I also don't understand why people say such positive things :p 

because he would be 2nd player which mother tongue is Serbian to be no1 in singles :d

Roger and Rafa are probably over with serious tennis, Wawrinka mostly depends on his motivation. Novak is 29, so as Murray, they're not old, and as long as they keep playing on this level nobody can get close to them. Zverev could become a good player but I'm not sure, as for Thiem I just don't like his style of play, I'm a bit subjective there. :d

I know and believe you are, and we all know why :lol:

Ah, right, Serbian heritage :d 

He was born in Montenegro but speaks Serbian at home 

 

i also think he has potencial, but needs more self confidence

Haha I didn't mean on Borna here. :lol: Thiem is simply playing without any plan, only shooting with all strength and if the ball is in it's great, but often it isn't, at least today was so. It reminds me on women's tennis, and I despise to watch women's tennis. :facepalm:Nevertheless, I started to watch tennis intensively in like 2005-2006 when Roger was at his prime so nothing after that is just not good for me, maybe I'm asking for too much. :d

But who know. Maybe for 2-3 years, he will change that. His problem is I think that he has huge pressure and all that stories you are like Novak etc. We all know stories about Roger and Dimitrov and for some peoples Grigor is still baby Fed. It is not good at all.

Well, this was his first semifinal ever, he was a complete outsider, why pressure on him? If anyone could have pressure here, it is Novak because he's chasing to get a first RG. I don't see some connections in style with Novak and Thiem, if anyone has similar style to Novak it is Borna (I don't say he is playing like Novak and I don't believe he will have career like him).

To be fair, I don't follow tennis that close as many of you guys and even I am hearing how great of a talent Thiem is all the freaking time :p 

 

I can imagine there's quite a lot of pressure as the real hope of Austrian tennis..

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
