At least convincing others to go on a gluten free diet has a bit less effect on your and my health than anti-vaccination bullshit..

Seriously, I’m not worried about vegans living their life, but I am worried about anti-vaxers putting our people’s lives in danger.

Since there's barely any actual news, some gossipy nonsense :p Kirsten Flipkens has revealed she had 'a thing' with Rafael Nadal in their teen years, when she was 14. "But he didn't speak any English at the time, so it stayed with holding hands and a few kisses" :p

Spoiler

Sure, it's not like - despite being an international super star - he speaks much English now :p 

 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

There will be first ever Mima Jaušovec Cup, a "Laver Cup type" of contest between top 20 of Slovenian players. 

 

West vs. East (6.-8.6.2020 / RCU Lukovica, near Domžale, 20 km out of Ljubljana, where I mostly play :))

 

- 3 days, every day 7 matches (2 men singles, 2 women singles, 1 men doubles, 1 women doubles, 1 mixed doubles)

- on first day every win is worth one point, second day two points, and final day 3 points

- among others Aljaž Bedene, Blaž Rola, Polona Hercog, Tamara Zidanšek, Kaja Juvan,...

- best of 3 sets to 4 games (so, kind of fast 4 tennis)

- we will broadcast live all matches on Sportklub
