Did you see the stands during doubles matches? There were like 20 people watching it. Nobod cares about the doubles except for die-hard fans. And I mean actually WATCHING the damn matches, not checking the scores afterwards :p

Sorry misread your reply. What I meant to say was, I’m one of those few die-hard fans.

 

At least the crowd wasn’t as bad as last year’s edition in Texas, which had like 5 people in the audience :p

Because Brazil had more success in doubles in the last decade, I usually watch more doubles than singles - of course mostly from brazilian players, since they don't show other matches (unless is a Grand Slam final or something).

That was great from Iga! I would love her to continue improving her game on hard, cause this August/September part with losses to Pegula and Gauff (ugh....) then Kudermetova and Ostapenko were really all tough to take for a fan. It is just amazing how she bounced back and won Beijing and and now WTA Finals! Deserved YE #1, and now to attack AO title :cheer: 

Ah yes, given that OG in Paris will be played on clay, it is great opportunity to add gold medal to already impressive trophy cabinet :cool:

So apparently Tokyo 2020 women’s doubles gold medalists :CZE Barbora Krejcikova/Katerina Siniakova are taking a break from each other. Hardly surprising given their recent level of play and body language during the WTA Finals. 
 

Wonder what’ll be the doubles situation for the Czech team heading into Paris. Sinakova hasn’t ruled out re-partnering with her, but it does seem unlikely. Will most likely be one of Voundrousova and Muchova, with Krejcikova taking the other (she could also decide to focus on singles)

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
