Barbora Krejcikova beats Cori Gauff 76 63 in the third QF.

 

Czech Republic remians one country that has insane WTA depth despite limited population compared to USA, Russia, Germany or France. And Krejcikova was basically reduced into a top doubles speciallist in the last few years. No way someone could have bet on her making GS SF in singles.

Not a fan of Swiatek, but this is her tournament to lose. Even less consistency on the women’s side than usual. No Williams, Sharapova, Azarenka, Kvitova, Keys, Stephens, Bencic, Pliskova, Osaka, Barty, Kerber, Halep, Svitolina, Andreescu, Muguruza. Hopefully some of the younger women will become at least somewhat consistent soon, otherwise most slams will be ultra-low quality.  
 

On the men’s side Nadal vs. Tsitsipas seems like the most likely final. Italy has great prospects on the men’s side, let’s see how that will turn out. Canada has shown that even having multiple amazing talents doesn’t guarantee success at senior level.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Would be incredible if Greece could win both singles titles. Also would be nice to see a Sakkari/Tsitsipas mixed double (at the olympics). 
 

First all-European slam semifinal on the women’s side since 2018 Australian Open.

Congratulations! Well deserved win. 

 

Now I hope Greek players will win both singles finals! Good luck then. 

 

And already waiting for an entertaining re-match next year.

    • Those hurt, especially not one but two countries that have never missed a single contest likely missing out now     Where did everyone go?   Edit: I see Slovenia is in, that's fantastic news! Brazil though...   I think I'm going to ask if @brunamoura wants to come up with a song, despite really not having lots of time for it due to training and work. With some luck, she can listen the playlist on Spotify during training or something and get a bit of a sense of which songs she likes. If that's acceptable for people of course, I can perfectly imagine people wouldn't be too happy with that since we literally share a household and it might be seen as a conflict of interest (although anyway I always only tell her my favourite songs after I sent my votes).
    • Announcement:   I'm going to extend the deadline for countries submission to Monday 30th September at 23:58 BST, with the voting now not opening to the public until Wednesday 2nd October at 23:58 BST. I felt this was necessary to do due to the lack of nations + the lack of some of the major players and not due to me failing to come up with an entry (@Vektor) that I will be posting after this announcement. This will be the last deadline that is moved, with the only dates potentially moving being the final dates. 
    • looking at the  Junior WCH (U-20) results so far, seems like USA is gearing up. the target would be to challenge China in LA 2028 and snatch few gold medals here and there.   p.s: China is not participating in Junior WCH     I am wondering if we can see USA in good shape in Bahrain WCH too 
    • Is Trump becomes President is he really going to let in the likes of Iran if they qualify. Fifa could protest if he won’t but sort of cancelling it they don’t have much leeway. 
    • SLOVENIA  Magnifico - Hir aj kam hir aj go     Robert Pešut, better known as Magnifico is one of most established Slovenian singers. He started his solo career more than 30 years ago.   Few weeks ago, he celebrated this jubilee with special concert in front of more than 20.000 people on special site in Ljubljana. Maybe does not seem a lot, but here there were not many concerts played with that crowd.   He is known for his special type of humour in his music and lyrics. Around 20 years ago he sold album Export Import, from which most known song is "Hir aj kam hir aj go", which was received well in other countries, especially in Italy.   Just another fact, Magnifico wrote two Eurovision songs, Sestre - Samo Ljubezen (Only Love) in 2002 and also for Montenegrin performer Rambo Amadeus (Euro Neuro).   He tried himself to perform at Eurovision, but with his still very well known "Silvija", ended 5th in EMA 1998 (Slovenia National Final).   SONG LYRICS  
    • Oh how I’ve missed Canucks hockey, Silovs with another beauty of a save      
    • Round of 16 - September 24th    1 - 3     5 - 0 
    • Think I'm gonna extend the deadline to another day, we've got plenty of time to spare and I shouldn't take too long to vote. 
    • Today it was Olof’s 4th birthday. Love you my sweet boy.
