Have I missed some off season banter about the Crabb brothers, as in they have officially split up and are going to play with other partners from here on out? Good question, they didn't really seem to enjoy playing with each other. Taylor's position with Gibb is much better than Trevor's with Sean IMO. |

Some new partnership info: us.swatchmajorseries.com/en/1139/meet-the-men-out-to-win-ftl-majorIn a major #FTLMajor shock, 2016 Swatch World Tour Finals silver medalists and Rio Olympians Evandro/Pedro Solberg have split with both forming two new hugely exciting teams. Pedro Solberg teams up with up-and-coming star Guto – who we remember well following his silver medal performance at the A1 Major Klagenfurt. Big serving and big smiling Evandro will take to the sand with 22-year-old Andre who spent last season under the watchful eye of legend Ricardo. In another surprise split, Polish pair Grzegorz Fijalek and Mariusz Prudel have gone their separate ways having enjoyed huge success together since they began playing in 2004. Fijalek will play with Michal Bryl and Prudel will partner Kacper Kujawiak. But of course while there are plenty of new teams to run the rule over, some familiar faces remain together for 2017. Samoilovs/Smedins, Lucena/Dalhausser, Doppler/Horst, Hyden/Bourne, Saxton/Schalk and Herrera/Gavira are names all beach fans will know and love – and you’ll be pleased to know their names are on the provisional list for Fort Lauderdale! |

There was a stretch them 2 where the best team around. Only a few months but still. They made a few finals in a row I think and beat Phil.

Anyone know about the TV situation for this event? Is NBC going to telecast at all? Given the time of year, wasn't sure it would get any consideration with basketball being the big sport then.

My early (and probably dead wrong) pick for team of the year on the women's side: Agatha/Duda.

I started paying more attention to them after they had their stretch, and it always looked to me like Prudel was the much better player, although he does seem a little small for the blocker. Fijalek really struggled in the Olympics and Prudel looked like he just didn't know what to do with him. |

Haven't had a chance to watch them much in the last year and a half. Not sure how healthy they've been. They both are now playing with 22 year old players, who did pretty decent themselves as a team last year. I'm hoping to see both of them play in Ft. Lauderdale. |

Is Carambula actually going to play this with Ranghieri? Meaning he would have his Visa issues resolved?
