The biggest mystery is how Schwartzman managed to lose to an unranked Belarusian  

Can the summer / year of  Italy strike once again   Or the mighty Slovenians get their first major title. 
 
Either way, our lame team can say they've lost the group to the eventual finalists. 

It is not about no one wanted Sagan it is about no many wanted his team. Peter has only one condition before signing the contract, his brother Juraj, his neighbor friend Erik Baška, the slovak DS Ján Valach, his personal masseur Maroš Hlad, and Maciej Bodnar must also join the team at the same time for the same period of the deal.
 
This time only Direct Energie accepted it, so he decided to make a compromise, dropped his salary condition, and they all 6 signed a contract. This is the way Peter is doing his career, helping his friends and family.

Wenger has too much free time in his senior years. He needs a new hobby, i suggest bird watching. Leave the football in the past monsieur. 

Sakkari had a semifinal line-up at both RG & US on the level of an international and she managed not even to reach a final   Could have been a two-time champ, but since this is womens tennis, tour consistency is useless. Never change WTA.

Oh God, it will be Murray 2.0. The tabloids will be unbearable. 

Probably USA again  Aspen? 
 
Spain hosting a Winter Olympics would be cool though! With Soldeo in Andorra.

Don't count your chickens yet, it seems there is a spell against anyone playing the teens. You would think Bencic will have this under control too, but but... Those double faults and lack of confidence and you are top 10 and Olympic champion?! Yikes

Damn how fast people disappeared from here after the Olympics ended.   I too had a post-Olympics fatigue for about 2-3 weeks, where i didn't want to or watched much sports, but now things are getting back to normal little by little. But things are really slow here. 

Medvedev cruising and completely invisible this whole tournament  
 
As for Sakkari, damn this girl is a fighter, not very typical for the WTA. Hope things turn out better for her, than Roland Garros. Deserves to be top 10 much more, than a couple current ones..

Not meaning to offend anyone, but EST-LAT and FIN-MAC isn't the most glamorous opening you could (or want) to have for your most prized tournament (cough CEV cough).  Football can pull off this system, but volleyball.... not so much. 

Italy breaks the record with 36th consecutive undefeated match   They should have won the match though, but just like us, very weak, when it came to the last shot. Berardi with a junior miss in the first half and Jorginho with yet another lame penalty. It's high time they chose someone else to take them. First place is definitely not guaranteed now.

RIP to the last good IOC President 

Yes, because the constant adding of events and athletes has made it impossible to host only in a classical winter resort. You can't have only Cortina d'Ampezzo and it's nearby towns hosting, you have to have half of Northern Italy in there. This is why no one wants to host anymore, or if they do, they want it spread in 15 other places across the whole country.

You would think F1 can't get any more stupider and then there is today.

147 for Higgins in the 1st televisive frame of the season What start

Don't look now but Camila Giorgi is into the Montreal final! She beats Jessica Pegula in three sets and books the biggest final of her career vs Karolina Pliskova. What a week this has been!
