:CRO Donna Vekic beats :SVK Anna Karolina Schmiedlova 6-4 6-0 in the second women's SF.

 

Zheng will be a favorite in the final but it's women's tennis so anything can happen.

Vekic has been stable at a high level for two big tournaments at row.

Yes, it's been no surprise on grass but very much on clay. Let's see how Zheng does as a clear pre-final favorite. Despite being Top 10 ranked she's not used to playing in this position and Vekic has nothing to lose having overachieved in this tournament already.

:AIN Andreeva/Shnaider (first time as a pair) defeat :CZE Krejčíková/Siniaková (Tokyo Olympic champions and winners of many major double titles) in two sets (6-1, 7-5) and advance to the semifinal!

They could be the only AIN medal in Paris 2024? I don't know about some of the other sports though.

I do not know if anyone else has noticed this but the tennis TV scoreboards have been behaving strangely. It shows Tsitsipas as unseeded today :wacko:. A few days back it was having a hard time pointing to the correct server :p

Yes, it's been terrible, and some Greeks who don't closely follow tennis now might think Tsitsipas was unseeded or something :facepalm:

 

At the beginning of the event it was worse, the scores kept not updating or we had to keep score ourselves and the cameras after every few points would show the scoreboard in the stadium. Sometimes there were no scoreboards on screen at all...

Sad for Tsitsipas, he wasted 3 set points on serve in the second set against Djokovic, but maybe with a better draw he could've snuck a bronze. He probably won't get another Olympics on his beloved clay. Oh well...

They have real chances for 3 medals tomorrow, in men's single sculls in rowing and two in trampoline gymanstics.

It wasn't a draw thing, and i would say his draw wasn't bad at all. He never reached his potential because of his backhand and his limited mental strenght, if you look at his better results, most were against players of his level.

    • The problem of the Italian federation is that its system does not work and we cannot afford to lose talents like Colturi. Our slalom does not exist, whether among women or men. We are currently at a level below Croatia and Bulgaria in the men's category. There is no progress, in fact there is regression, because while Vinatzer often did not finish a few years ago, when he did finish he was able to be in the top. Now he either does not finish or is around 20th place, like now. In the women's category, the peak of our abilities is Peterlini, who regularly hovers around 20th place in the World Cup. If we cannot afford to invest more than Albania and that with the Winter Olympics in a year, then I think we can really dissolve our ski sector and focus on something else. If the federation is satisfied with such low levels, let them continue.

    • IMO the Italian federation was right in not giving to that financial and political blackmail - had they accepted it, plenty of more established athletes in snow sports could have asked for more under the threat of changing nationality. It's not like they had a sports almanac from the future saying that that 15yo girl would have won 5 olympic gold medals and 5 overall world cups.
    • Allez  He tried to pull this one lots of time and finally managed to go all the way.
    • Nonsense. Chamizo moved to Italy, married an Italian, he's still here after many years and was essentially banned from competing for Cuba. Colturi's tie to Albania is that the Albanian federation had invested a ton of money in her mother's business (élite and very costly academy for young skiers), and then gave her a role, and probably another big salary, as a director in exchange for the pomise of their first winter Olympic medal. A better comparison is to that archer who competed for Ivory Coast because her father had a big clothing business in the country.
    • I guess Stoch will retire in the end of 2025/2026 season.
