Maybe early exit for Svitolina? 

i think Serena will defeat Osaka and Sivotlina will defeat her , but if Osaka keeps her rhythm from IW she can defeat them both , but i doubt this 

as long as fat cats benefit from wars , wars will always exist , nothing more beneficial than trading weapons , that's it

Not exactly the meaning of dictator, as I'm sure you're aware.

 

Nothing fine about that. Or better yet: kicking Al-Qaeda's ass was just as good as Russia kicking terrorist asses in Syria.

 

Nope. Both of the sides you mention are definitely responsible for war crimes. Sadly nothing is done about that.

 

Obviously Srebrenica is (rather clearly) an act of genocide. Millions dead in Congo was one of the worst crimes in human history, but strictly speaking, not genocide: they didn't die simply for being Congolese, but they died because the Belgian rulers had absolutely horrific conditions for them to work in. Yes, it's all just as bad as genocide, but it simply is not the same thing, just like the millions of dead Chinese under Mao is a huge crime, but not genocide.

 

No problem with a military presence in an 'allied nation', just like at least in the 'big bad West' there's basically never anyone serious who has any problem with Russian humanitarian centers in Serbia. Never heard anything bad about it and don't see any problem with it. Most people who would have a problem with something like that are the "oh my god everything is a big conspiracy" kind of people. 

Killing innocent people in Vietnam and Congo is bad , but in Syria and Afghanistan are good , this's Islamophobia or something else ? 

Congrats Delpo  what a match 

Roger wasted 3 match points on 5-4 lead , it's a tied game now

You are wrong about Serbia. He has many fans in Serbia. After Novak and Del Potro (people here adore him), Roger has most fans.

He also has fans in Spain , what I'm talking about is getting biased for Roger , I see this all over the world whenever Roger plays , even in Wimbledon 2012 final many fans cheered for Roger over their local hero Murray , so at least if Roger plays with Coric in Serbia there'll be many Croatian fans to cheer for him

I guess so  I also like Roger, very, very much but I get annoyed by some fans. I mean, I'll aplaude to any player for a good point.

Totally agree

The crowd  

I think only in Spain and Serbia they'll not get biased for Roger  Roger's popularity over the world is getting beyond Skies 

And Roger remains unbeatable in 2018 

Coric leading against Roger in the 3rd set 4-3 with serve advantage 

Mohamed Salah scores 4 goals with Liverpool today against Watford and become top goal scorer of Premier league with 28 goals , Liverpool is leading 5-0 now , one of our own 

personally i love this games really much and i always want to see it , maybe because we win a lot of medals  

very balanced draw , with the best 4 teams at least on paper kept away from playing each other , i think Barca and Bayern shouldn't have any problems in qualifying to Semis , Real and Juve is very balanced tie , so it's 52-48 for Real , Man City is the favorite side against Liverpool , but the last in a good day could defeat any team and they've proven this even with Man City itself in Premier League , so i'd say 57-43 for Man City , hopefully Liverpool will win 

Roger defeated Chung 7-5, 6-1 to face biggest surprise of this tournament Coric who defeated Anderson last night in IW Semis

4. Roland Garros 2004 - 3 out of 4 semifinalists were  . Also it had dramatic final between Gaudio and Coria who didn't like each other that much. Gaudio winning was the ultimate underdog story since he was always seen as a guy that couldn't possibly win a major title, being a complete nutjob like he was.

i think Gaudio winning RG , was one of the biggest surprises in history of the tournament , this final was also an epic one, Coria who was unstoppable on clay that time and made a very big tournament led by 2 sets and it was really obvious that he'll win , but then he suffered from an injury and everything went on reverse way , the 5th set was very tight , but Gaudio won at the end , i still remember this final , despite i was not very old , only 10  , but this's among my favorite GS finals ever 

Hmmm, I'll rank 5 Best moments for Egypt at least from My Perspective

1.  Handball WCH 2001 : Egypt made history in this tournament by defeating Russia in Quarterfinals which was a great super power in the sport on these days along with Sweden and became the 1st Non European team to reach men's Handball WCH Semis 

2. Karam Gaber Gold medal in Men's Wrestling Greco-Roman Wrestling in Athens 2004 , the 1st Gold Medal for Egypt since 1948 and for sorry the last till now  and in a very big style , his performance in this OG is still considered one of the best ever in Greco Roman at Olympics 

3. Egypt reaching Football WC 2018 for the 1st time since 1990 after defeating Congo 2-1 in Cairo 

4. Alaaeldin Abouelkassem winning Silver medal in men's fencing foil in London 2012 , 1st medal for any African nation in the sport , not many people in Egypt would think the same way , but i think for me it was a very special moment , i was among very few people who believed in Alaa's extraordinary talent since he was young and of his ability to win a medal , despite the very hard draw 

5. Egypt defeating Italy 1-0 in Men's Confederations Cup 2009 in SA 

Olympic Medals by Sport 

Olympic Medalists 

Egypt at Summer Olympics 

Egypt at Winter Olympics 

Yes , we have 8 teams from 8 different countries in quarters , biggest surprises are Cska especially after they lost home and Salzburg who defeated Dortmund but Cska surprised me more 

Till now we have 8 teams from 8 different countries qualified to Quarters , which's something rarely happens

 Naomi Osaka qualified to IW Semis 

Aaaand it's Roger vs. Chung again , 5hopefully we can have a real match this time
