Wow, Lulu Sun into 4th round! It is amazing she capitalized on that Zheng upset which, given Zheng's form and her prowess on grass, is more of an upset ranking-wise. Some remarkable stats broken by her for a player from NZ: first female in Wimbledon last 16 since 1959 (Ruia Morrison) - that would make her so far the only female in the Open era! She is the first singles player to reach last 16 at a Grand Slam since Brett Steven in 1997. Additionally gets comfortably into top 100. With Erin Routliffe, there is someone to cheer for and expect some decent results here in there. Hopefully this could change something and inspire more people to pursue career in tennis, cause there are no some big prospects coming up. Well, there is always possibility to import someone :d 

 

Sun is probably going to be stopped by Raducanu, who has amazing opportunity to reach the semifinals and why not even win it. Keys playing great taking out Gauff, then losing her head in the semifinals. On the other side, Ons peaking again and taking everyone out just to hand the trophy to Raducanu in the final :lol:

:POL Hubert Hurkacz suffered a knee injury diving to a net ball and has withdrew from R2 match vs :FRA Arthur Flis.

 

It's anyone's guess how that affects the Olympics participation now.

Was it really that bad so he had to forfeit on the match point? :yikes:

Yeah, he couldn't move at all. He suffered the injury on a play that gave him SP but quickly lost the next two points and conceded on Fils' SP.

 

Still no details on how serious this injury is.

Emma Raducanu withdrew from mixed doubles so Andy Murray won't be playing at Wimbledon at all :coffee:

He played in men's doubles but lost in the first round.

 

Speaking of Raducanu, Sakkari losing to that thing again was so embarrassing :facepalm:

    • Has everyone seen the leaked report on the Algerian boxer?
    • Is the Grand Final officially this Saturday?
    • Huh, there's still countries buying F-16's?     Coincidentally we said goodbye to our last ones a little over a month ago (Belgian ones are still sometimes flying here though).
    • Yeah, Harris might not be great, it is still definitely better than having an outright psychopath as president, again. At the very least it should be someone who is at least capable and willing to, you know, communicate like an adult. Trump very clearly can not do that, although one would assume his childish yelling and overall immensely bizarre way of speaking (from his intonation to his 'we did great, everyone thought it was great, they couldnt believe how great I was!') must appeal to a certain kind of person, I suppose.
    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
