Neah, that won't happen, Federer is a broken down dinosaur, Nadal is also missing time with injuries and I'm pretty sure ATP will drop all the money for the Next Gen guys (Sinner, Alcaraz, FAA etc.). Any breakaway series only has sense at the height of the given federation's power (darts & American open-wheel in mid 90s for instance). If the tennis breakaway happened it should have been when the Top 4 was at its top (mid 2010s). Now it's too late IMO.

this really reminds me of kidnapping movies where the kidnapper shows the victim's relatives that she's fine , is it really hard that peng goes live and tells people around the world this message or is she banned from using her mobile for life :D , i know they wouldn't make any investigations because that will open the door for hundreds of same incidents , but at least we want to know that she's fine , she can live without being tortured

Peng Shuai signing tennis balls in junior challenger final in the capital Beijing. The cpc official is probably getting investigated too but i guess it's time to move the goal post once again.

Yeah, how obvious can it be? :facepalm: 

 

The only thing missing is that she's wearing some orange prison jumpsuit and saying "Hello, my name is Peng Shuai and I want to tell everyone I am doing perfect and there is nothing going on and everything I said earlier was actually a lie :) Please stop looking for me, I am super well, I just don't want to compete ever again so I will stay away :) Also, there are no tanks in Baghdad, everything is fine :)"

Well, at least the idea that "she disappeared" is nonsense. China is what it is but it ain't North Korea :lol:

Even North Korea wouldn’t have someone with global name disappear. They would pull the same stunt.

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
