Novak 3rd Slam in a row just WOW

It's really tiring to follow Karate qualifications , especially if u have many players from your country participating , too many matches at very shot time , I'm compassionate on the players that play 6 matches in 40 minutes or something like that

We had many players qualified to quarters , but only Giana could have qualified to the big final , we'll have 1 fighting for Gold and 5 fighting for bronze ,2 of them have their 1st or 2nd senior international tournament Reem in women's -50 and Taha Tarek in men's +84

she'll ofc , but right now Halep is still the no.,1 , Osaka will move to 2nd place Edit : yes , she'll be no.1 sorry

Kvitova

NA Li

Osaka she's simply writing new history for Japan and Asia in tennis and for herself ofc , 2nd GS in a row who could have thought about this

Norway they're heading into final for the 2nd time in a row , what an achievement , but unfortunately they'll likely miss Rod in the final at least we'll have a new champion which sounds good

they have many players from Arabic origin who i think can pronounce Qatar very well

i think there were Some Omani fans cheered for them at least during Iraq match , that's what they said ofc their fans have the full right to travel there and that's something annoying And if i was Qatari , i would have been really mad about this , but the Qatari team knew that very well before the start of competition and i guess they were really prepared for this . at least they have a very big cast of BEIN and Al Kaas who're covering the tournament anyway it might have been an advantage they had their fans in 2011 at home and lost in quarters and wasn't even close from their participation here , despite the fact they had many big names back then

maybe @chrischi08 predicted Qatar to win

i didn't hear anyone in Qatari channels complaining from any discrimination against their team in the tournament , problem of fans AFC was aware of it before the start of the tournament , so it's their fault that they didn't force UAE to host QATARI fans , which wouldn't have been many anyway , they don't fulfill their stadiums or even get close to this , so i don't think it'll be world war III , it's just a game , referees would interfere or not , i'm not sure about this , but maybe with VAR every team would get their rights

not sure if it's Asian Cup or Gulf Cup that was way over expectations , i hope that Iran wins it all at the end , i think they most deserve this title

i predicted the right score , but the wrong winner i knew Qatar is the closest team to cause a surprise , but i didn't have much faith in their ability to surprise Korea today

Paraguay was good at the last WCQ , they could have even qualified at least to play-offs with NZ , so i don't think they even hold a chance against them

RIP Indiana Pacers , really sad news , he's definitely one of the best players in the EAST

RIP Qatar

France is always very dangerous when it comes to finals , they know how to win these matches very well , if i was them i'd prefer to rest some players and to avoid playing with Denmark and Germany at home , as the host always get some help from referees , so it's much better to play Denmark in Semis in Hamburg rather than playing them in Denmark , ofc it's just a guess i can't say they did that on purpose

they're the best right now ofc , but none of them played a top 10 player on their way to the final , even Novak played Nishikori after some marathon matches and he was injured and retired from the 2nd set , but yes ofc they're the best with some gap over others right now , maybe Nadal got stronger challenges than Novak , as he got Tsitisipas and Berdych on his way to the final and didn't drop a set against them

Welcome @O_faiax On Totallympics , enjoy your time here

France will play Denmark in Germany and ofc if they win they'll play Germany if they qualify at Denmark , i don't actually exclude the probability that they lost today on purpose they won't play a host nation anymore , anyway very strong Semis ahead to come , Denmark vs. France and Norway vs. Germany , it's almost 50-50 in both matches

Yes
