Also this idea that Adrian is suddenly good, but wasn't before, is garbage. He was posting excellent results in majors several years ago. Is he in better shape, sure he looks fitter, but he has been a very good player for a while now Agreed Adrian has been undersold. He’s improving but fits in just fine on the world tour with the right partner. More than we can say for most of our stateside defenders.

At the end of the day it’s the first decent team Adrian faced and he couldn’t side out good enough. I said it the whole tournament, serve Adrain every single ball all that fast paced stuff and he will make mistakes eventually which you can’t do against a good team. While they are very fun to watch I don’t see that style winning events, way to much room for errors ” That Chilean team is not better than the US teams or if they are it isn't by much,” I think you are way off on this. Go look in the last 2-2 year who all they have beat and who they took to 3. They have beat a lot of top teams in the world or took them to 3. Seems they lose to not so good teams also so maybe they are just inconsistent but when playing well they are a top 20 maybe 15 team in the world

(Plavins/Toc) In 2017 alone, Doherty/Hyden beat more top teams. I am not saying Chile is terrible or anything, just that there is not a big gap between them and the US teams

Did anyone get the link for games? With an 11 hour time difference, games should be starting SOON!
