Phew! What a match... Was hanging in the balance right till the very end... so happy for Paes and Hingis. However Paes' antics didn't go down well with me and surely not with Sania :p. Probably he was trying to make a statement because he knows he is not getting a chance to play with her at the Olympics. Paes and Mirza didn't see eye to eye in the end at the net. :facepalm:

 

Let's see what they say in the trophy presentation :fingers:

I have to say that for India will be disaster If Paes skip Olympics. He and Sania are one of legends in doubles.  If I undestand rules, Asia MUST! have at least one pair in mixed doubles and Paes and Sania can make tean for Olympics ( I really don;t see better pair from Asian continent).

@dareza It cant happen because of points plus Sania /paes don't gel well they have personal issues going on. Hence its good to have Sania / Rohan. They play for same team and have played doubles together. I still think Rohan would choose Saketh over Paes. But all this mess was started by paes and now he is in the receiving end this time. He dug the well for Mahesh last time n now he would find himself  in same well, unless rohan chooses him...Now need to see what Mahesh advices Rohan. Personal rivalry over Country needs to be seen...

That is so sad. Paes is for sure most popular Indian player in Europe. I think everybody knows who is Paes (even non-tennis fans)

But Mahesh is the future for India...IPTL and the juniors he nurtures and the players his company looks after are the reason why all lend their support to Mahesh over Paes, Similar to Gopichand in badminton in India...

    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • Very quick end &  get 2 back to 6=3, but  have the hammer in ninth....
