Davis Cup World group-Play offs on September 16-18 2016

 

Rafael Nadal has been named in Spain's Davis Cup team to play India in their world group play-off tie in New Delhi on September 16-18. Fifth-ranked Nadal will be joined by 13th-ranked David Ferrer for singles duty with Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez slated for doubles.  

 

I will believe it only when Rafa lands in India. Before that, good chance he will pull out...

By the way, is anyone here following the chess olympiad ??

 

The Indian men are doing absolutely awesome. They are 1 of only 3 teams to have won all 5 of their matches so far. Yesterday, Harikrishna defeated a higher-rated Azebaijani (home favorite and with a record of 4 wins out of 4 till then, also now in top-10 of the world) with BLACK pieces. 

 

Then, the new star Vidit Gujrathi doubled the joy by repeating the same - defeating a higher rated home player with a 4/4 record so far, again with BLACK pieces. Vidit so far is one of only 4 players (out of the 1000+ competing at the Olympiad) who has won all his 5 games. 

 

India eventually won the match 3-1 (India is seeded 9th, Azerbaijan 4th).

 

Today is rest day. Tomorrow, India face Netherlands, also 5/5 (third 5/5 team is Ukraine) with Harikrishna (2752) facing Anish Giri (2755) on the top board.

 

The women unfortunately haven't fared so well. After starting with 3 wins, they have had to settle for draws against lower-rate Israel and Vietnam. They face Latvia tomorrow.

Doesn't matter. Even if top 5 Spaniards pull out, we still won't have a chance.

I am particularly surprised by Harika's performance. She is much better than this. 

 

Excellent start by the Men's team.

    • vs.  to see who can play in.  If  wins and  loses to , then  will be in 2nd place due to tie breaker (we beat Norway).  C'mon ladies!   
    • 6 games done in the Women's Draw & even without the final result of   the top 4 cannot be shaken, so the last round will merely determine the semi-final draws   Women       JPN 6   0     P NOR 4   1     GER 4   2     USA 4   2     TUR 2   4     CZE 1   4     AUS 1   5     EST 1   5    
    • Yeah, Today was added the 34th Quota for Team Slovakia.    5th Sport, 7th Female athlete of the team, Return to the Olympic Short Track Speed Skating for Slovakia after 12 years     One of the two young girls Tamara Tokárová or Lea Popovičová will represent the country in Milano 2026 in Short Track Speed Skating. The chosen one will be announced by our federation in the following weeks after some internal evaluations of current performances of both girls being done.   For one or the other it will be an Olympic debut and for the country a return under the five rings in this sport since Sochi 2014.   Our representative will take part only in the W 500m   Team (Updated as of 9th December 2025) 34 Athletes (27 M + 7 W)   Ice Hockey : (25 Athletes: 25+0) M Team   Figure Skating: (1 Athlete: 1+0) Adam Hagara (M Singles)   Biathlon: (4 Athletes: 0+4) TBD (W Sprint, W Pursuit ?, W Individual, W Mass Start ?, W Relay) TBD (W Sprint, W Pursuit ?, W Individual, W Mass Start ?, W Relay) TBD (W Sprint, W Pursuit ?, W Individual, W Mass Start ?, W Relay) TBD (W Sprint, W Pursuit ?, W Individual, W Mass Start ?, W Relay)   Ski Mountaineering: (3 Athletes: 1+2) Jakub Šiarnik (M Sprint, Mixed Relay) Marianna Jagerčíková (W Sprint, Mixed Relay) Rebeka Cully (W Sprint)   Short Track Speed Skating: (1 Athletes: 0+1) TBD (W 500m)
    • Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony. 
    • That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.  
    • Today : Jordan 3-0 Egypt  This team will surprise us                 
    • option no.2 for sure, as it's been all this shitstorm organized by the nhl owners through their embedded reporters   ps not that the north american audience looks really aware of the hockey rules and habits outside the nhl (and around their game, too, since they look not to know that just a couple of weeks ago they played 2 nhl matches on an ice sheet of the exact same size of Milan's olympic arena)
    • Are we supposed to take Daly's word for it or is this just public posturing to try and shame the Milan organizers (which they certainly deserve for all the delays) in order to threaten NHL participation?
    • Well that was a disappointing opening ceremony. Not to mention the boss is late too...   Anyway this is another victim of bureaucracy, the initial creative director quit in October and we get this kind of show.   Original plan: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17EVayTpig/
