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

Don't worry... Am pretty sure he'll stick around till the 2020 games :bowdown:

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 think ur reading a bit too much into one celebration semi-circle. It was a great interception at a very imporatant point in a grand slam final with his career grnad slam on the line.

 

BTW, i saw the presentation on streaming and Paes was full of praise for Sania. He complimented her on her performance in the final as well as her performances with Hingis, thanked her twice I beleive and even thanked her father and team.

 

But yeah, it will be Rohan partnering Sania in XD. Paes/Sania actually have a good shot at a continental quota now. Their only competition for top ranked Asian team is the Japanese team of Nishikori and Misaki Doi. Both had poor french opens and will be losing points. We'll know only on Monday but reasonable chance Paes/Sania overtake Nishikori/Doi in the rankings. 

 

Of course that doesnt mean Paes will go. Only 3 continental slots available across 5 continental federations and thus no guarantee Asia gets one. Plus, Sania prefers Rohan and there is a small chance they might get seeded which would mean avoiding strong teams like Federer/Hingis and Serena/Bob Bryan (if Serena plays XD).

 

Then of course there is the court-side issue. No doubt that Leander is our best right-court XD player but is he our best left-court XD player ?? And Sania has to play on the right, she lives and dies by her forehand...

Well done Soumyajit, now the real deal, plays world no. 13 today in round of 16, if he pulls this off, it will go a long way to boost his confidence for Rio.

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
