And we go, another GS title contender is out today. After Kerber, Kvitova is eliminated too...

 

Kvitova contender at the US Open? Hardly.

 

She is as useless as it gets after that horrible attack. Wasting MP on serve -.-

 

Rogers into her second GS QF, and again she beat Petra in three en route :lol:

Honestly I had almost 7-8 names in my mind about a possible winner of women's single at US Open and Kvitova was one of this :p

Just wake up to learn this drama. I am against the decision of default. I know there is a rulebook and I appreciate it and referee still should consider the exact incident and the extend of the consequence. He definitely deserved a warning of his misbehavior but default is too much for me.

Sorry but I disagree with your views. If you Novak broke his racquet a warning would be sufficient. If he hit the ball and it didn't hit anyone a warning maybe sufficient. But as it resulted in injuring a person the punishment was absolutely justified. Just imagine that being a ballboy, or it causing long term damage or even death. Everyone knows it was unintentional, but it could be serious for the person involved.

The rules which is in place is absolutely right one because it puts the health and safety of its stakeholders above a game. If it was the other way around it would be just disgusting.

To be honest Novak understood the decision, he was disappointed but he knew the decision was inevitable.

    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • There is no snow in Lillehammer 
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.
