Btw, I feel so sad Liechtenstein got relegated to Euro/African Zone Group III for 2017 :cry: They beat Austria, probably the best team this year and lost to Egypt 2-1. Egypt with only two rubbers won in the preliminary round finished ahead of Liechtenstein because of H2H (LIE had 5-4)... 

 

Euro/African Zone Group II

Preliminary Round

Group A

1. Denmark Ties: 2-0, Rubbers: 6-0

2. Lithuania Ties: 1-1, Rubbers: 2-4

3. Finland Ties: 0-2, Rubbers: 1-5

 

Group B

1. Austria Ties: 2-1, Rubbers: 5-4

2. Bosnia and Herzegovina Ties: 2-1, Rubbers: 6-3

3. Egypt Ties: 1-2, Rubbers: 2-7

4. Liechtenstein Ties: 1-2, Rubbers: 5-4

 

Promotional Play-Offs:

:DEN vs :BIH Denmark leads 1-0 at the moment

:LTU vs :AUT Austria already won 2-0

 

Relegation Play-Offs:

:EGY vs :FIN Egypt already won 2-0, as expected. :FIN and :LIE relegated to Euro/African Zone Group III 2017

 

And in my opinion Liechtenstein could beat all the teams from Group A... Really, really tough luck for Vogt and Von Deichmann :(

In Asian/Oceanian Zone Group II Bahrain won only one game in 11 rubbers played :red:

Philippines advanced to Zone Group I 2017, defeated Singapore 2-0.

I was surprised with Singapore performance. I thought even Pacific Oceania had stronger team with Tere-Apisah (PNG) and Carruthers (SAM) in the team.

Final standing:

1. Philippines

2. Singapore

3. Hong Kong

4. Malaysia

5. Indonesia

6. Pacific Oceania

7. Sri Lanka

8. Iran

9. Pakistan

10. Bahrain

11 Kyrgyzstan

:ESP vs :ITA (without Errani, today)

1set : Muguruza - Schiavone 5-5

 

It is such a pity Spain and Italy (and Australia-USA, Germany-Romania) are playing in Play-Offs... All are rather strong teams and should be part of the elite division... I think Fed Cup should have 16 teams in World Group, and to get rid of World Group II....

In Euro/African Zone Group III Luxembourg and Norway got promoted :clap:

I am sad Montenegro and Greece didn't succeed, but am extremely happy for Norway. The country is getting stronger in tennis lately. They have two decent ITF-level players (Eikeri and Stokke) and two boys - Viktor Durasovic (born in 1996) and Casper Ruud (born in 1998, son of Christian Ruud who was #39 on the ATP in 1995), probably top 100 in the following years.

Qualifications for Barcelona ATP 500 are underway. Interesting news - Nicola Kuhn (born in 2000) is one of the tennis' wunderkinds and he got wildcard for qualifications... Background story... His father is German and mother is Russian, he was born in Innsbruck (AUT) and has been living in Spain since he was three months old... Germany offered to pay his tennis expenses since Spanish tennis federation couldn't so he played under German flag. Now he wants to play for Spain and has Spanish flag beside his name on ITF... German men's tennis is still in crisis, the only prospect they have is Zverev and remaining top 200 players are in their veteran years... But truth to be talked, neither Spanish tennis can be satisfied with young generations...

    • There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster
    • Actually, it seems Wicklow Irish Pub is an actual small chain in the city of Queretaro in  
    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
