Has Karlovic refused or retired from playing Davis Cup?

 

He had a quarrel with the Croatian tennis federation about distribution of the money in Davis Cup for players few years ago, and refused to play for the team ever since.

 

Btw. I didn't know till now that your coach has Croatian ancestry. :dThere are actually lot of Croats in South America, especially in Argentina and Chile, mostly came there during the WWII.

That's right. For example, the only Argentinian gold medalist from London 2012 Sebastian Crismanich also has Croatian ancestry. :d

Incredibly happy to see Kvitova winning P5/PM title for the 6th consecutive year! Her level of tennis this week was sublime. Everything clicked in the match with Angie, and the way she outplayed Halep was awe worthy. Well done Petra :champion: Curious about her stamina in Beijing. Would be a miracle if she snatches spot in Singapore, but given how awfully slow the surface is there, better to go for that Zhuhai title :d

 

And great to see Khachanov's breakthrough!!! After Zverev, another youngster (though, not a teenager) with ATP title, second week in a row! :bowdown:

 

Younger of Ymer brothers, Mikael had good run in Rome challenger. Curiously on clay, which is supposed to be his worst surface. Elias is better on clay but failed to beat Lamasine.

Mmoh is into his first challenger final, another promising teen from USA.

Few weeks ago we also witnessed to all-Korean final, my fave Duck-Hee Lee lost to two years older compatriot Hyeon Chung. Glad to see Chung won as well, after reaching top 60, he had really bad season. Hopefully this is a good sign.
