Wow the semis were today? I completely missed it, but I didn't miss much anyway.

  

Without Del Potro I don't feel like watching tennis frecuently anymore. Scrubs like Schwartzman don't get me excited in the slightest.

Schwartzmann will be top 10 after the tournament, that is quite an achievement. Obviously he isn’t one of the most talented guys, but he is super fit and is a great fighter. You also have a guy named Torres in the junior competition‘s semifinal, maybe he could be someone to cheer for.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Switzerland has two guys in the men’s junior semifinal. Maybe they can stay relevant even after the retirement of Federer and Wawrinka. Also nice to see a dutch guy in the semifinal. In the women‘s junior competition we have two russian girls, a french girl and a girl from the Philippines! in the semifinal. The girl from the Philippines (Eala) was born in 2005 and is currently one of the 2 or 3 most hopeful talents, in 2018 she already won the „Les Petit As“ competition (some of the previous winners were Hingis, Clijsters, Safina, Ostapenko and Andreescu).

First loss for Świątek at this tournament, luckily it was "just" doubles semifinal...

 

Get rest Iga and play your the best tennis tomorrow :fingers:

After a bit of a controversial moment at 4-4 40-40 in the last set: referee said a ball crossed the net via Swiatek's hand, she and Melichar denied it rather emotionally (Swiatek was almost crying even), but they did lose the point. They got back to deuce after that, but who knows what would have happened if they had gotten advantage.

I should hope so. They had said there would be no 'night sessions' until next year, but I don't think they're dumb enough to stop a basically indoor semi final in the last set :d 

I remember that Australian Open match that went onto something like 05:00 Melbourne Time.

Djokovic with the early break. Could it be? Could we finally get to see a Nadal - Djokovic Grand Slam final?! OMG so exciting!:hyper: 

I was hoping for Tsitsipas to win but yes, Nadal - Djokovic will be much more exciting than the forgettable US Open. ;)

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
