Errorinka in the house...

If there is a loss, there must be a win. It is like, if there is beginning, there must be an end as well

I agree that forum should be more dynamic, but also as kungshamra wrote, if I don't have to write anything, then why should I? If someone likes to write, then let him/her be creative and write about some interesting stuff when there are less (important) sport events or other side activities on the forum. Opening "2012 medalists failed to qualify for Rio" thread is an excellent example how to gain attention. Besides, I am doing everything in my power to keep tennis subforum alive, 90% of posts are mine lol

At WTA's first "challenger" of the year, CiCi Bellis lost to Friedsam, despite leading 6-4 4-1. Konjuh won, at least. I am not sure what is Gavrilova doing I mean, I am glad to see there is one competitive Greek player, but I am not fond of her game. Sakkari shouldn't be a treat to Gavrilova. Unless she is only tanking

Kozlov had everything in his hands and he lost... But I am so happy to see Shapovalov winning! Tim van Rijthoven in his first challenger quarterfinal (and this is his second challenger tournament overall, if I am not mistaken). I hope matches are still available on livestream... Would like to see Shapovalov Rublev was fooling around a bit, but eventually he beat Harrison in one really messy match. Now watching Big Foe in action EDIT: Shapovalov is the first player born in 1999 with ATP Challenger win! Given that Felix Auger-Aliassime is the first 2000-born with ATP Challenger win, Canada is definitely heading to bright tennis future!

JJ can't hold

They weren't #1 for nothing. Some of the top players can still dream about three grand slam finals and title!

^Looks like another life

JJ is enigma as always, but given her record against Radwanska, I am not confident at all. ------------ What a change when you switch to Irving challenger, it looks much faster Donaldson breaks Smyczek for 6-5, serving for the set now.

I watched that Totally out of control...

I reckon it was one of her Auusie Open gems I noticed she doesn't hit as hard as before, guess it has to do with her mono and frequent gym activity lol She does look skinnier than ever I miss 2011 Petra

Spoiled kids... But yes, Belinda's whining is going on my nerves. Ostapenko is crazy, Nick "detests" tennis

Jesus, this surface in Indian Wells is deadly slow. Kvitova can't pass through average retriever like Gibbs, I am afraid what Radwanska is going to do to her Apart from shaky serve, I am pretty satisfied with her game. On faster court she should beat Gibbs in two... But we love P3tra A win is a win

Ana does not belong in that group He is 19, give him a year or two. Even two years younger he is a grown up compared to Kyrgios lol

Impressive! I would love to see him beating Nadal or Verdasco

Double break for Zverev in the second, he must use this. Simon is not at his best, many errors, but Zverev is holding very well in relays Tim van Rijthoven won! Great comeback, 3-6 7-6(6) 6-2

Van Rijthoven saved 4 match points and won second set 8-6 in tie break!

Early break for Zverev... same for Johnson!

Delbonis Arrrgh, Felix Auger had to withdraw from Drummondville. Nevertheless, still some promising youngsters to follow: Blake Mott vs Nicolas Jarry, Deiton Baughman, Tim van Rijthoven (Dutch player has had some decent results recenty), Tommy Paul, Omar Jasika, Stefan Kozlov (cruel draw vs. Renzo Olivo). At least, second Canadian young hope still in the draw, Denis Shapovalov, playing another WC-Filip Peliwo, former Wimbledon junior champion who definitely regressed over the years. Drummondville draw: http://www.protennislive.com/posting/2016/7235/mds.pdf Irving challenger will probably be the strongest one this year: http://www.protennislive.com/posting/2016/6486/mds.pdf Tough draw for Tiafoe, hopefully he can surprise. Wonder if Rublev is going to fool around...

When you'll learn to expect nothing from Ana? With ANY coach?

1. Tennis 2. Athletics 3. Swimming 4. Volleyball and fifth vote went to Basketball, historically I've been connected to it much more. I like to follow archery, badminton, diving, became a fan of road and track cycling over the last year, always enjoyed rowing, artistic gymnastics, handball, and at some extent field hockey. Only sports I have no clues about, but thanks to Totallympics, I became aware of many names, powerhouses in combat sports, sailing, modern pentathlon, triathlon...
