RIP 117 year legacy of The Davis Cup...  

 

And the lame players that only care for money, would probably welcome it with open hands.. In a fantasy world big mouth Nadal, Murray etc. would protest this decision, but when it's not in their favour why bother...

Is DC really something that big/important (if we exclude the hype, of course...)?

 

Croatia for example played final last year, so I have to actually believe we are the second best nation in men's tennis, behind Argentina? Yeah, not...

Sort of. Definitely the tournament with the best atmosphere of all, or at least in many of the top matches. I've been at the Davis Cup doubles match during the NED - SUI match-up in 2012, when Haase/Rojer beat Federer/Wawrinka and the atmosphere was just electric. Just like it is many times I watch DC on TV.

That's the same in any tournament, reaching the final and losing it doesn't mean you're the 2nd best nation/player/team in the world.

Same goes for Argentina, really. So winning tournament also means nothing? :p

 

Anyway, introducing the short format might be the blessing in disguise, as more top players may opt to play.

It doesn't mean nothing, but winning it doesn't automatically mean you're the best tennis nation in the world, just like winning the football World Cup doesn't automatically mean you're the best football nation in the world, it just means you were the strongest at that tournament :p

      Curling WC Olympic Qualification Event 2025

      By Jan Linha · Posted

      Well, I see that the national competition between mixed doubles and also men increased. Also actually amongst women, too. Before it was mostly Kubeskova team that participated in some international events. This year, Synackova team did really well in the pre-qualification just the final qualification was not that good. But curling is about details. Generally, I am glad to see that there is really much higher competition than it was 10 years ago. And seeing Chabickovsky a Zelingerova making it to the Olympics in such a young age can be really promising for their career as curling is becoming more professional, as we see Grand Slams and other big tournaments.    As for now, I think that in Milano Team Klima and mixed doubles can make really interesting results. After all, they will finish in top 10 so just qualifying to the Games is already a huge achievement

      Oh yea.  Seemed like they were starting to get some less than elite pitchers, but the commits they've had in the last 12 hours have been stellar.  Now the staff feels like an embarrassment of riches.  They have 3 elite starters and a bunch of guys that can eat innings.  Thrilled what Mark DeRosa has been able to put together.
