2018 Youth Olympic Gold Medalist ;)

 

Notably, that title came on a clay court as well.

Interesting to look at those youth Olympic medallists : Gaston gold and bronze in double, Juvan Gold, Burel silver and Bronze in mixed double with Gaston ! Juvan /Swiatek winning girls' double  !

Tennis is not really that big of a sport in the US and arguably in the UK

May be not " popular " as American Football, Ice Hockey and Basketball or Baseball, but there are always a lot of American Tennnis players at Grand Slam tournaments and  they are a lot more than UK players for sure . This year at Roland-Garros, USA has the most women (19) before Russia (12) and France (11) and second in number of men players (13) after France (18)...

At this rate women's quarterfinals could easily be something like:

 

SWIATEK vs TREVISAN

GARCIA vs KREJCIKOVA/PODOROSKA

COLLINS vs FERRO

ZHANG vs BADOSA/SIEGEMUND 

 

:lol: 

you picked most of the losers :p  I would have picked JABEUR - KENIN (for a 3rd in a row Grand Slam meeting this year after Australian Open and US Open)

Oh Dominic, Dominic.. Props for all the fight in this brutal match, and probably the sunday 5-setter played a factor too, but it showed again that there is only one Big 3 in tennis and no one can obtain that level. I thought after the US win and the beginning of RG he has finally reached the next level, but guess that level is not unobtainable for anyone else.

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
