Marin already secured his best ranking ever, 3rd place from next week. :thumbup:

Respect about it! But this fact is due to ex-number 3 Grigor Dimitrov!

The bulgarian first tennis player is talanted, but he must be more perpetual in his wins!

:yes

I agree for Chung and Edmund, but Sandgren really has no business playing GS semifinals :d 

Still waiting for Zverev's GS breakthrough. It is getting frustrating for him now after all the success on the Tour and still without even GS QF. Also, Kyrgios was really unlucky witht the draw. 

He defeated 5th and 9th seeds and other 2 players who were higher seeds than him , so he deserved that place in quarters , I don't have high expectations for him and I see him as a one tournament break through , but who knows he might has another career after his success in Australia . Kyrgios for sorry doesn't have the mentality of being a GS champion and top 5 player , he should believe in him self and keep him self away of this controversy he tries always to make , just focus on tennis .

If Kyrgios has done anything this AO, it's fight his heart out on the court. I know he's been prone to controversey, but this was basically the worst tournament to mention that :d 

 

Way, way worse are people like Tomic..

Well he still has some controversial moments here :d in 1st round he shouted on a fan shut the fuck up and against Dimitrov on 1st 2 sets when he loses a point he look at his team and blame them for something related to strength of rackets almost in each point he loses , so he's still not focusing 100 % on court IMO

At the end most of what I suspected beforehand of the men's competition turned out right: Roger main candidate with a distance, Zverev & Thiem will flop, Dimitrov being a big candidate was laughable, Kyrgios good but not enough, Cilic had some chance to do something important (I had him as my 5th favorite :d )

Fucsovics, Berdych and Chung.. This has to be the easiest draw for anyone ever to come to GS final.

These players defeated top players : Querrey , Delpo, Zverev, Novak , it's not Federer problem that these players failed to beat those easy oponents

    • first win for the Italian men's relay since 2007      very good Home stage for us   if only the organizers didn't set the finals sessions at 2 p.m. (especially on Saturday), there would have been a lot more spectators on the seats 
    • update: Not the best start to the year for Tentoglou, but I guess it can only get better from here    Karalis seems to be getting consistent in jumps over 5.90m, and proving that 2024 was no fluke and he is hopefully here to stay (and I guess to win more silver and bronze medals because there is some Swedish guy who is apparently too good )   No news on Stefanidi and she hasn't been very active on social media. She may have quietly retired, but I have a feeling she is pregnant and will try to come back for LA 2028.    Meanwhile, we have some other hopes in the women's pole vault and I think we'll still qualify 3 girls for LA even without Polak (suspended), Kyriakopoulou (retired), and Stefanidi. Two 16 yos are doing well this indoor season, Bouboulidi (4.21) and Mirtsiou (4.15). We also have 21 yo Retsa, who seemed very promising a number of years ago with 4.14 as a 16 yo and then had some injuries and her progress kind of stalled. Now she is improving a lot this year and has a SB (and obviously PR) of 4.41    New U18NR in the men's long jump from 17 yo Tzelepis with 7.46. It will be interesting to track his progress over the next few years vs Tentoglou when he was that young. There are another two teenagers who seem promising, both from Grevena (Tentoglou's hometown) - Samaras and Isaakidis.   Also 19 yo Mita in the men's high jump with a new PB of 2.26

    • Our entry:   We had a national final for the first time in many years, it was mainly between Klavdia and Evangelia (see below), but here are some other songs I also liked:                  
    • The fact that the New Zealand Olympic committee was waffling on sending him to Beijing is such a joke too. Lots of people there should be extremely ashamed of themselves.
    • Could you write a bit more about her struggles and misfortunes over the years? I' m not so familiar with her story.
