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

Not a tennis history expert, but I am pretty sure she is the smallest player ever winning this tournament ? how is this even possible ? anyway very succesfull day for slovak sport. Congrats Domi , enjoy your huge triumph :cheer:

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.

    • It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.
    • That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.
    • Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.
    • Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.  
    • It also appears 1 noc has withdrawn   https://oca.asia/news/5781-harbin-2025-awg-organisers-confirm-record-number-of-entries.html
    • If my figures are correct, I confirm that this is the international debut in top-level competition for Turkmenistan, Kuwait and Thailand. i believe it is also the debut in a senior competition for Mongolia
    • The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games. 
    • Stage 10 in Alta Badia (ITA)   Men´s Slalom:   1. Timon Haugan    1:45.40 2. Loic Meillard    1:46.53 3. Atle Lie McGrath    1:46.66   Full Final Results HERE
