U stvari, podloga koja će biti u Riju odgovora i Ani i Jeleni (decoturf srednje brzine, koliko sam čuo), ukoliko im bude nedelja, a znajući u kakvom je stanju WTA, može biti svašta.

Troje ide sigurno (logično da su to Ana, Jelena i Novak), mada i Viktor je skoro pa kvalifikovan. Za druge ćemo videti.

Ima, ali ono, nisam optimističan. Ja se samo nadam da će Ana iskukati WC od ITF-a za dubl sa Aleks... Značilo bi Aleksandri da ode u Rio. Nenad je sve zajebao onim prelomom, bio je u sasvim pristojnoj formi prošle godine.

Kako stvari trenutno stoje imaćemo svega četvoro tenisera u Riju.

Naravno da ne bi, seti se samo onog meča za bronzu na SP protiv onog Indijca... Beše li to 2013. ili 2014. godina?

Fris (i Maksimović) obično gubi zbog gluposti. Šta je tu novo? Jako mi je drago zbog Nemeša, izrasta u pravog šampiona! I što je najbitnije, polako, ali sigurno, rvanje vraća staru slavu!

Davorova konstantnost na najvećim takmičenjima je neverovatna Bila bi prava šteta da ne osvoji medalju u Riju i zaokruži ovaj sjajan niz...

Cibulkova litterally choked that match away. I couldn't even...

Ja se nadam da neće. Kalinić igra mnogo bolje u reprezentaciji od njega.

Da se razumemo, sve zavisi od Saleta - da li ćeš ih pozvati ili ne.

Malo je reći da sam iznenađen pobedom rukometašica...

In for Serbia, as usual.

Kada bi kosmička pravda postojala, Ćuprija, Novi Pazar i Novi Sad bi imali hale.

This is one is miles better. For me at least.

They usually blame 'girls in the club' a'la Gasquet, 'mothers' a'la Čilić, doctors, physios, coaches or even National Federations. But, that wasn't the case with Maria, she showed up there and said she has only herself to blame for this situation. I don't know whether you watched the presser or not, but she did say her family has history with diabetis and heart disease and that's why their family doctor gave her that drug. She admitted this all is her fault, as she didn't check the list herself, but I bet that doctor has already gotten fired, lol. And what makes you think she's a cheater? That drug had been legal more than a decade, of course in a test phase, but still. I'm quite sure every single top athlete takes some yet-to-be-illegal drug, just like Maria did. That could be anyone, Ana, Dafne, Novak, Andy, Jusain, Yelena, Serena or any other high-profiled athelete in the world. Human's body is not able to produce such results without any enhencement drugs - that's a fact. I'm not accussing anyone, just stating the obvious. Maria's case is not the lone one unfortunately.

Aha, možda je i bolje tako, jer je imao tu rapturu zadnje lože. Nikada se ne treba forsirati u indoor sezoni tokom olimpijske godine.

Znači u Portland idu samo Ivana i Mihail?

You cannot be serious...

Drago mi je da smo se, konačno, vratili. Žao mi je što i dalje nemam toliko vremena da postujem. Ali uskoro se vraćam...

Meldonium is not considered as a PED substance by WADA, hence I think she did make an honest mistake, otherwise she would not call a presser and admit it to the whole world. Real cheaters and doppers never get caught anyway. Her ban is being speculated to be 12 months long + fine. Which is fine by me, tbh. I was really sad when she said "I've let down my fans, I've let down my sport..." Do real cheaters say something like that? Of course not. They usually blame "the others", not themselves. Maria did the opposite - she did say she had only herself to blame for this, which is fair enough. The best part of the presser was: "If I was ever going to announce my retirement (from tennis), I would never do that in a downtown Los Angeles hotel with a failry ugly carpet".

Hantuchova was given a MDWC for Indian Wells... I understand she has won that event two times, but she didn't deserve to get it.

Anett! Quite a delightful year for the youngsters on both WTA and ATP circuits.

When will we be able to open new National Threads?

BTW, I think we can still post the results, in simplier form for sure, but anything is better than nothing!
