Hurkacz playing really well against Zverev now. But it is still unclear how this match ends. As Leo Beenhakker once famously said: you can never underestimate your German opponent until he leaves the courts in his limo.😎

After 5 years for Tsitsipas, and 2.5 years for Sakkari, both will exit the top 10 on Monday :cry:

 

Sakkari has been losing early in a lot of the big events, and this week she lost to Noskova in Doha after having a match point on return and then serving for the match. Had she won she would still be top 10. However, she will likely return after Dubai because others are losing a lot of points and she isn't.

 

Tsitsipas has not played much lately due to injury, but he seems to be finally healthy again and will playing the Mexican tournaments before Indian Wells and Miami. With basically no points to defend for the next two months, he should be back in the top 10 soon.

 

It's just crazy that it feels like both have been in the top 10 for so long, and now they are both dropping out on the same exact day! But they will be back, I am sure!

New doubles format for the WTA/ATP tour has been announced, which will makes it’s debut at the Madrid Open.  I’m sort of convinced this is a delayed April Fools joke or something, because what the f*ck? … really hope this change doesn’t last long :rolleyes::facepalm:

Nobody really watched doubles anymore ergo nobody cares.

Ouch :p

 

As a doubles fan this hurts, but I can’t say that you’re wrong. But I think that’s partially due to the lack of streaming coverage, maybe if it was on TV more people would watch it. 
 

About nobody caring, you do have a point in a sense, but that Instagram post has over 500 comments, most of them are showing support to the doubles players and expressing how ridiculous the rule changes were. 


I’d much rather they remove one of the non-sports (or all of them in exchange for other sports) from TV channels. So far I’ve encountered pickleball, chase tag, and pillow fighting, and each of them were so boring that I fell asleep within ten minutes :p

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
