There's Danilovic, ffs. She's gonna outshine Graf and Serena! :bowdown: How come you didn't know that?! :lol:

 

Ivana and Nina are irrelevant, on the other hand - they have no famous parents. :lol: 

 

Future GOAT for sure.

At least I believe all of them will make top 100 occasionally with such field.

I can totally see Ivana having a bright future, but her body seems to be quite injury-prone. She's already had a couple of serious injuries and she's only 19. :( 

 

Back on topic. I think Wozniacki deserves a mention in this thread. She was indeed born and raised in Denmark, but still she's fluent in Polish and always speaks in Polish with her father and the rest of her family.

Also, Garbine Muguruza was born in Venezuela to Basque or Catalan father (I'm not 100% sure) and Venezuelan mother, before moving to Spain at age of 3. She was really close to start representing Venezuela at some point of her career, but at the end she decided to keep playing under Spain's flag.

From Mexico there will be one naturalized athlete... Kevin Chavez (little traitor :p) will represent Australia in 3m Springboard... not only Australia robbed us one good coach in that discipline (well to be fair, he was not appreciated by the corrupt federation here) now they steal the upcoming talent...

 

The other competitor that had previously competed for Mexico is Jackie Galloway (USA, tae kwon do)... she wasnumber 3 on the national team, behind Rosario Espinosa and Briseida Acosta in +67 Olympic category, so she opted to compete for her country of birth (she holds dual citizenship).

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
