yes and one in mens ATP at Rotterdam

Well, At first, Huge Congrats for the qualification for the final round This last match against Hungary was a incredible thriller until the very last action of the match. Who know, everything is open, I think POL have chances to upset Belarus even in Minsk Slovenia too (ofc I´ll never never never underestimate Slovenian Ice hockey team again after Sochi) but the most difficult will be the match against DEnmark. For me DEN is the absolute fav for the olympic ticket, and honnestly I wish them to go to pyeongchang, the hockey in Denmark fully deserve it.
