Gabriela Dabrowski/Erin Rouliffe through to the quarterfinals in women’s doubles, after defeating  Jiang Xinyu/Hanyu Guo 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 

Svitolina's path is cleaning up very nicely. I don't trust Zheng to make the final at all. But would be amazing story though. If Sabalenka survives Anisimova, she mustn't let this title slip into anyone's hands.

I guess her qualifying win 6-4 in the third over the mighty Valentini Grammatikopoulou gave her the confidence and strength to breeze through the rest of the tournament 

Seems we are entering "EEVA" era with Andreeva, Korneeva and Timofeeva coming up

If you watched Pegula's matches since the start of the year you would notice her on court demeanor. I mean, she is usually not a type of fist pumping-come on type of player, but gives vibes of bored Vondrousova. And let's not forget that Burel already had a big scalp on a GS beating Rybakina, fresh Wimbledon champion, at US Open 2022 as a qualifier before losing to Sabalenka in R3.
 
Overall more surprising is she lost to Burel, not that it was a second round

Crazy match between Rybakina and Blinkova. Disappointed Rybakina couldn't convert her match points. After great Brisbane she should have made at least semifinal here. That quarter of the draw is hilarious now. If Zheng really aspires to get far, she has a great chance here. 
Pegula losing early ain't surprising - losing to Burel is what is baffling a bit  
 
Gauff keeps getting cakewalks to semifinals and I can see Aryna losing her sh*t again in the semis against Coco  But would love to see Iga spanking Swiatek yet again! With Rybakina being out, and Ostapenko being big IF as always, Iga could (should) make the final relatively easy.

Russia : this uk/usa attack on Yemen is a violation of the Charter of the United Nations

From expected Shelton-Fils final between to rising stars we got Taro Daniel and Alejandro Tabilo (q) in Auckland  

Given how Mirra Andreeva liked the infamous IG post with birthday wishes to Putin I would say that's unlikely to happen.

Looking at the quali draws these are some players i would like to see advancing to the main draw because i am really interested how their career goes, i would like to be able to watch them play more against top opponents:
 
W - E Andreeva, E Lys, B Fruhvirtova, A Korneeva, O Danilovic, M Timofeeva, S Bejlek
M - F Cobolli, A Kovacevic, B Nakashima, Z Svajda

The year in sports brought a lot of joy and emotional moments to Totallympics members around the world. As we say goodbye to our annual awards, here's hope that 2024 can also be a memorable year for all sports fans, as we eagerly wait for the next Olympic Games. For now, we'll remember the moments that brought us together in 2023, presenting this edition's theme song: "Fight Song", by American singer and songwriter Rachel Platten.
 
 

 
Thank you all! Have a great year and until the next Totallympics Awards!
 

Happy New Olympic Year dear Totallympians
