OMG, that last game :bowdown:

 

Congrats Pome! And I thought she would beat Angie. Angie's serve was really bad today, also many unforced errors. But Domi constantly pushed her with her amazing offensive shots, returns... I was afraid after miss on third match point, but she survived it and won biggest title in career. Congrats Dominika :SVK

And finally, Marin Čilić won the first ATP500 tournament in his career, though he already have GS and Masters title. Usually players firstly win smaller tournaments and then are trying to get GS/Masters, but for him that was obviously too mainstream.

I am not an expert in players' heights but I wouldn't be surprised if she actually is. Dunno about Henin though :mumble:

Hopman Cup 2017 (January 1-7) provisional teams have been announced while ago. 

 

Group A
:FRA Kristina Mladenovic/Richard Gasquet

:GER Andrea Petkovic/Alexander Zverev

:GBR Heather Watson/Dan Evans

:SUI Belinda Bencic/Roger Federer

 

Group B

:AUS Daria Gavrilova/Nick Kyrgios

:CZE Petra Kvitova/Adam Pavlasek

:ESP Lara Arruabarrena/Feliciano Lopez

:USA Coco Vandeweghe/Jack Sock

 

 

I wondered will we have some African team any time soon. At the moment South African women's tennis is nowhere and the only decent African team I can think of would be :TUN with Ons Jabeur and Malek Jaziri. Meanwhile, South American women are also poorly ranked... Hopefully Japan/China/Kazakhstan will show interest some day.

    • Someone please tell me every single athlete who didn't qualify for the big air final has at least one more event to go? The chance of athletes' Olympics being done before the opening ceremony would be utterly ridiculous...
