Kuhn won second set 6-0

It would be too risky for her to play. Firstly, I doubt she could beat Wickmayer so 1-1 on day 1 is excellent result for weakened team; and secondly she'll have one day extra to rest, recover and prepare, though her win over Flipkens is also highly unlikely. Krunic must win both matches.

Qualifications for Barcelona ATP 500 are underway. Interesting news - Nicola Kuhn (born in 2000) is one of the tennis' wunderkinds and he got wildcard for qualifications... Background story... His father is German and mother is Russian, he was born in Innsbruck (AUT) and has been living in Spain since he was three months old... Germany offered to pay his tennis expenses since Spanish tennis federation couldn't so he played under German flag. Now he wants to play for Spain and has Spanish flag beside his name on ITF... German men's tennis is still in crisis, the only prospect they have is Zverev and remaining top 200 players are in their veteran years... But truth to be talked, neither Spanish tennis can be satisfied with young generations...

In Euro/African Zone Group III Luxembourg and Norway got promoted I am sad Montenegro and Greece didn't succeed, but am extremely happy for Norway. The country is getting stronger in tennis lately. They have two decent ITF-level players (Eikeri and Stokke) and two boys - Viktor Durasovic (born in 1996) and Casper Ruud (born in 1998, son of Christian Ruud who was #39 on the ATP in 1995), probably top 100 in the following years.

It is such a pity Spain and Italy (and Australia-USA, Germany-Romania) are playing in Play-Offs... All are rather strong teams and should be part of the elite division... I think Fed Cup should have 16 teams in World Group, and to get rid of World Group II....

In Asian/Oceanian Zone Group II Bahrain won only one game in 11 rubbers played Philippines advanced to Zone Group I 2017, defeated Singapore 2-0. I was surprised with Singapore performance. I thought even Pacific Oceania had stronger team with Tere-Apisah (PNG) and Carruthers (SAM) in the team. Final standing: 1. Philippines 2. Singapore 3. Hong Kong 4. Malaysia 5. Indonesia 6. Pacific Oceania 7. Sri Lanka 8. Iran 9. Pakistan 10. Bahrain 11 Kyrgyzstan

Btw, I feel so sad Liechtenstein got relegated to Euro/African Zone Group III for 2017 They beat Austria, probably the best team this year and lost to Egypt 2-1. Egypt with only two rubbers won in the preliminary round finished ahead of Liechtenstein because of H2H (LIE had 5-4)... Euro/African Zone Group II Preliminary Round Group A 1. Denmark Ties: 2-0, Rubbers: 6-0 2. Lithuania Ties: 1-1, Rubbers: 2-4 3. Finland Ties: 0-2, Rubbers: 1-5 Group B 1. Austria Ties: 2-1, Rubbers: 5-4 2. Bosnia and Herzegovina Ties: 2-1, Rubbers: 6-3 3. Egypt Ties: 1-2, Rubbers: 2-7 4. Liechtenstein Ties: 1-2, Rubbers: 5-4 Promotional Play-Offs: vs Denmark leads 1-0 at the moment vs Austria already won 2-0 Relegation Play-Offs: vs Egypt already won 2-0, as expected. and relegated to Euro/African Zone Group III 2017 And in my opinion Liechtenstein could beat all the teams from Group A... Really, really tough luck for Vogt and Von Deichmann

Murray is totally different player today than in matches against Herbert and Paire!

Dandy Warhols - We Used To Be Friends

Chemistry rules

Liechtenstein beat Austria 3-0 in Fed Cup Euro/African Zone Group II They have to beat Egypt now, regardless of final score to qualify for promotional play-offs where they will face Denmark most likely - and Liechtenstein will be huge favorite in that match! On the other hand, Montenegro with Kovinic in the team failed to qualify even for promotional play-offs... Promotional play-offs pairs: vs vs Luxembourg and Norway should win comfortably...

Paire I pity his fans, that has to be so painful. He had Murray on ropes... We could have obscure Dzumhur-Paire quarterfinals... Murray struggled a lot against Herbert (he and clay cannot be in the same sentence ) and Paire, and it would be really disappointing for Raonic if he loses tomorrow. I must watch Nadal-Thiem now Although, I am not sure what to expect, Thiem played two three-setters, definitely peaked too early this season, but Nadal didn't impress me either. It would be a dream to have semifinals without Djokovic, Murray, Federer and Nadal, I hope Monte-Carlo can deliver

Meh, silly point to lose the match, but nevertheless, Dzumhur has been refreshing addition in Miami and Monte-Carlo!

He could easily finish in two, with a routine win... What is going in his head is beyond any reason. Jesus, don't know which one to watch... Andy-Benoit is crazy, but Dzumhur-Raonic is really quality match!!! Damir has AMAZING backhand parallel!!! Exciting and quality match indeed

Thanks, I thought it was home-away system with two matches only

Paire is such a mental

That is really great to hear! It is definitely time to qualify for the OG! Btw, what is the format of Euroleague QFs? I forgot

Wrong Czech won today But I am very happy for Dzumhur! Really inspiring win. And this loss may be good thing for Novak - more time to rest, leaving all the streaks behind.... But he must be concerned... I believe his RG preps didn't start the way he wanted to

Disappointed with Paul's performance... two chances more.

Great. Hopefully Aussie team will peak in Rio too

When we are at it, I can help with draws for sports like tennis...

Jaziri destroying my kids -.-

ugh.... well, his return on court for RG is very questionable... he better prepare himself for grass season then...

There will be ITF $25k tournament in Pelham next week, and currently qualifications are underway.... Quirky information I read about one pair in the first qualifying round, Gail Falkenberg and Rosalyn Small... Gail Falkenberg Age: 69 Match record (since comeback in 2011): 0-32 Set record: 0-64 Game record: 29-384 Rosalyn Small Age: 22 Match record: 0-25 Set record: 0-50 Game record: 9-297 And the big winner of this one is granny Gail who won 6-0 6-1!!! http://www.itftennis.com/procircuit/tournaments/women's-tournament/info.aspx?tournamentid=1100036943
