She wants Margaret Court's GS singles titles record (24) first and foremost. She has the Olympic gold already.

 

Federer (102) wants Jimmy Connors all-time ATP singles titles record (109).

 

Everything else is just PR, smoke & mirrors.

 

Obviously I was cheering for Andreescu tonight. I'm tired of watching Serena winning titles for 20 years :rolleyes:

Right of course, but another Olympic gold would solidify Serena as one of the greats. It would also make her advertising deals just a bit better, even if she makes the record.

 

Of topic question here: Is the Olympics considered a Grand Slam by people, or is it in a special catagory to tennis fans?

Congrats to Bianca Andreescu on becoming the first to win a tennis singles major!    What a moment for tennis in this country!!

No male player born in the 90s has yet won a GS.   This girl was born in 2000...

I'm quite into tennis and then-16yo Laura Robson gave a pretty clear indication about some of her female colleagues back in 2010 already.   But she herself admitted she had a crush on Marat

I wish we could see new face on the men's side but I think Rafa will deconstruct Medvedev easily.

Medvedev is the villain we all need though :p (His words, not mine)

I honestly don't see how that has even remotely as much of an influence as winning the 24th Grand Slam would have. At all. Serena Williams really does not need the Olympics.

We're only a few months further and I had completely, but seriously totally forgotten Vondrousova made the final at RG :yikes: 

 

I really hope Andreescu will keep it up, but for now I'm afraid in five years from now we'll be here thinking "ah yeah, Andreescu once won a GS, lol". I very much hope I'm wrong though.

Olympic gold is good for the records but is not that important. GS are waaay above that so Serena will play for that #24 and not another Olympic gold ;)

Her mentality is on spot, she won't be something like Ostapenko. The only threat that can send her into oblivion are injuries, she seems to be prone to injuries.

 

Vondroušova is also fragile and I don't like her mentality often. She just got into good form and is injured again :(

Anyway, with players like Andreescu, Anisimova, Swiatek, McNally, Gauff, Osaka, Bencic, Yastremska, Potapova, Vondrousova, Kostyuk... there must be 3-4 consistent player at least to a certain degree. Players that won't disappear after a title (Ostapenko), players that won't ruin themselves like Muguruza and players that won't choke (at least often)....

How kind of you to avoid naming Bertens there :p

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
