Krstin beat Becker! Great result, he was twice a break up in third and served for match at 5:3, got broken but in tiebreak was great 7:2. He's in no 200 after this win with a chance to go to 180 if he wins in the final.

Well, I sensed Allertova could surprise but didn't believe it... Very good, solid performance. I really like the way she plays.

Muguruza is sinking :wall: Zhang-Wozniacki was screaming upset, so did Gasparyan-Vinci. I am really sorry Rita chocked 4-0 lead and missed two match points. I like her backhand a lot! Vinci had moments of pure brilliance though, definitely deserved win.

There were more than five matches where one of the players saved match points and won eventually, I reckon.

On the one hand, I am glad Ivanovic won, but on the other, I couldn't regret more for Tiafoe. If I could, I'll change Ivanovic's win for Tiafoe... However, surprisingly good effort from Tiafoe. Match wasn't of particular quality, but the tension was palpable. Frances is enjoyable to watch, but his physical stamina is worrying at the moment. Serve let him down in the deciding set.

 

Kuznetsov continues with steady progress, that is great to see.

 

Won't comment Kyrgios, his attitude. No surprise from Ramos anymore, after Federer, he "schooled" two youngsters in a row now :d

 

I like Gavrilova as a player. Many consider her annoying, but she is amusing to me. Fun, with not so common display. But unfortunately, her mentality isn't the factor one can count on. Again  losing her strings after finding herself in winning position.

 

Stephens in 10-0 at International events this year and 0-2 at any higher grade WTA tournament :lol: Bouchard is coming back, slowly but surely.

Time to revenge Milojevic :d

I think Krstin has decent chance for the title.

    • KHL launches 3x3 championships with 8 teams, it starts on 19th December and finishes in July
    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
