And now sad news, Hantuchova announced her retirement from tennis :(

I knew Hantuchova was good, but I had no idea she was in the top-100 for around 15 straight years :yikes::bowdown:

 

Considering that and considering how long she was in the top-50 or something, this is a bit of a sad end to her career, spending your last year playing qualifiers and low-level ITF tournaments. I guess retiring is better than trying to get back to the glory days :p

Yes, definitely one of our sport legends. Thank her we won the Fed Cup in 2002 when she as a absolutely unknown young girl destroyed everyone to bring the trophy.

 

Also she is one of the very very few Tennis players loving the Olympics, as she always said her biggest dream is to win the OG, unfortunately it didn´t happened in any of her 3 Olympics appearances 2004, 2008 and 2012.

 

I remember this Japanese interview video with the very young Daniela during Athens 2004 :d

Lol, Konjuh almost managed to lose after having 4:0 and 0:30 in the final set. :lol:

 

Just see that Domi was 5-1 in the first set but it ended 6-7 :lol: Don´t really know what happened to her this year, but she is definitely far from the last year Cibulková :(

Anyway Congrats to Ana ! :cheer:

    • 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.
