This might be Barty's last chance to salvage her rep after upsets in the singles & the doubles! She is the #1 player in the world! Represent! :dance2:
She is playing with John Peers who plays on the doubles circuit,Barty partnered new players in doubles and mixed doubles for the first time so you can't expect her to win it on her own.,regardless if she is the No 1 player.

I'm just harder on the top pros since I don't think they should be competing! They have international fame and fortune already! They aren't just entitled to compete in what was once a totally amatuer sport! I give some a break, but tennis players are spoiled, self-entitled brats that can't be given enough to satisfy them! :facepalm:

Well you know my thoughts on the Olympics I have never thought tennis should have been included in the Olympics to start with.
Now in Japan we have golf LOL!!!

Oh, right, because otherwise her reputation would be pathetically in the toilet. Good lord, folks can get quite hysterical over the odd loss. I'm thinking Barty has a lot of upside and way to go in her career. I'm predicting great things for her. :cool: :finger:

Here are my QF predictions

1. Novak
2. Sasha
3. Khachanov
4. PCB*
* - primarily due to injury/heat/fatigue concern of Med who took MTO in each set of the last match.

Excellent played by Pablo, he sent the " Russian machine" to repair lol. Now he also should send the other Russian to home, then he would get at least one Medal :dance2:

Now, the only player who can potentially stop Novak is Sasha (not saying he actually would).

Khachanov makes too many UFE in general to defeat Novak. PCB has no serious weapons to be considered a threat to Novak.

Also, it would be hard to stop Novak in the Gold Medal match.

Poor guy! Reminds me of a "21 & under tournament" I playerd back in the day! I had to double fault 4 times just to give him a game! It was sad! :facepalm:

Is it possible to fly the lines woman in from last year's USO that Novak's ball almost gave her a tracheostomy.. I think her presence at the semi's will disturb Novak's more than these remaining 3.

Well this type of sabotage might be effective or maybe hiring Tonya Harding to knee-cap the guy! I guess it would be the most definitive way to stop the guy from making history! Most would clamor to be a part of it like when Sampras was elevated to GOAT status without even a FO final! We set and reset conditions why the current player is not as good as the old timers when convenient! Heaven knows I'm still giving Laver more credit than he deserves even winning those 2 CYGS's! He still has the same issues as Federer; a couple players literally owned him (Rosewall & Hoad)! :fearful-face:

Your wish may be partially fulfilled. No, we can't have that woman in Tokyo.

PCB has only won one match against Novak and that was because Novak was defaulted in that match. So, if PCB is across the net, that may kind of remind Novak of that incident.

He might punish Pablo and wipe him out like he did Kei today since he lost that Slam opportunity last FALL! :face-with-hand-over-mouth:
