That's true. If Kuznetsova wins in Moscow she'll take last spot. And I'd love to see her in Singapore. The surface will suit her far more than to Konta who is much better on fast courts - therefore her chances in Zhuhai will be much, much higher. And someone has to give some match to Radwanska in that White Group :p

 

What a year for WTA... No wonder we have such a field at Year End Championships. 

 

Yeah, Red group is too tough!

 

Kuznetskva is already in the final so we'll know it today. Though I must say it's sad, Konta is already in Singapore taking part on the selfies and all that typical media stuff of a WTA Finals, all this without knowning if she's gonna take part or not...

Kuznetsova won in Moscow, so she won the last spot for WTA Finals, and Johanna Konta is out :)

Konta still will be in Singapore, as first reserved player, cause someone will withdraw or retired and won't be able to play ;)

Yes, when I said "out" I said out of the competition (if everything goes without withdraws/someone retiring, which is what I hope for a good tournament :) ).

Dominika just lead in third set with break :d

 

That was quite a match, but Kerber managed to end up as a winner :d

 

Still, great game from the Slovak, and she won a set which may be important at the end of this group phase. I look forward to see her agains Halep :p

Big clash yesterday with Kerber beating Halep in 2 sets!  Also, too bad for Cibulkova, after the match against Kerber I expected a bit more of her, Madison Keys was just too much for her :p

Today two interesting games:  Pliskova vs Kuznetsova (both won their first match) and Radwanska vs Muguruza!

    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • There is no snow in Lillehammer 
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.
