  1. New disappointment from Chung... Young players simply cannot battle through... At least Dayana Yastremska (born in 2000) won first set in her WTA main draw debut!
  2. What a Fed Cup weekend it was! Golubic - what a discovery! Chinese Taipei Poland and Serbia back where they belong Dutch Fed Cup team Their chance were singles matches, Garcia/Mladenovic are just too experienced and more quality doubles players than any Dutch combination... Still, the effort they give in Fed cup is so inspiring! World Group 2017: (Belarus back in top division for the first time since 1994) World Group II 2017: Fed cup definitely should have one World Group with 16 teams.... Euro/African Zone Group I 2017: Asian/Oceanian Zone Group I 2017: American Zone Group I 2017:
  3. It is odd that only you don't have that arrow
  4. Come on Netherlands, one more win
  5. Rublev He is sinking down. Last year he beat Verdasco in Barcelona, this year he couldn't past first qualifying round. Completely disappointing year so far... Really.
  6. Yes, it looks like they didn't play covered. Their talent is unknown to me, but this is first step and I believe they gained some experience.
  7. I know you know Well, I have to say I was really surprised to see a Gulf country sending a team... so any little effort toward development is appreciative. Typo, sorry.
  8. You better check your tennis dictionary
  9. 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.
  10. 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...
  11. 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.
  12. 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....
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. Murray is totally different player today than in matches against Herbert and Paire!
  16. Dandy Warhols - We Used To Be Friends
  17. 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...
  18. 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
  19. Meh, silly point to lose the match, but nevertheless, Dzumhur has been refreshing addition in Miami and Monte-Carlo!
  20. 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
  21. Thanks, I thought it was home-away system with two matches only
