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.

    • I thought the only continental quotas applied in track cycling was for the individual events - the team events were purely based on the rankings list
    • keeps its perfect qualification record in women's curling    definitively gave them a lot of gifts today. For their sake hopefully they can draw better against the  tomorow.
    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
