Come on Netherlands, one more win :cheer:

Haha, that would just be so incredible :lol:

 

All the year they are failing all over the world, losing in all kinds of qualifiers, but when they play as a team suddenly they're closing in on the Fed Cup Final :lol:

What a Fed Cup weekend it was! Golubic -  what a discovery!

 

Chinese Taipei :hearts:

 

Poland and Serbia back where they belong :whistle:

 

Dutch Fed Cup team :hearts: Their chance were singles matches, Garcia/Mladenovic are just too experienced and more quality doubles players than any Dutch combination... Still, the effort they give in Fed cup is so inspiring!

 

World Group 2017: :CZE:FRA:NED:SUI:ESP:GER:USA:BLR (Belarus back in top division for the first time since 1994)

World Group II 2017: :ITA:ROU:RUS:SVK:UKR:TPE:BEL:AUS 

Fed cup definitely should have one World Group with 16 teams....

 

Euro/African Zone Group I 2017: :SRB:POL:GBR:ISR:GEO:BUL:CRO:POR:HUN:TUR:BIH:AUT 

Asian/Oceanian Zone Group I 2017: :JPN:IND:KAZ:CHN:KOR:THA:PHI 

American Zone Group I 2017: :CAN:ARG:BRA:PAR:MEX:BOL:COL:VEN:CHI

New disappointment from Chung... Young players simply cannot battle through...

 

At least Dayana Yastremska (born in 2000) won first set in her WTA main draw debut!

Fed cup loss affected her a lot... She gave everything to win that exhausting match against Wickmayer... And it is also known that she is weirdly less motivated when playing WTA tournaments than Fed Cup...

First ATP win for Cecchinato (finally!)... Second ATP win for Fucsovics Marton, first after Metz 2013.

 

Khachanov won first set against Bautista Agut, it would be amazing if he pulls an upset.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
