nigga we only had 1 (one) NBA player, our team was waaaaay worse
you already had multiple ring winners
>a decade ago we used to have 10 players in the tennis top 40
You didn't have a davis cup a decade ago though
>>76692067
because too many good players and a huge ego battle, most of these players hated each other
we won the davis cup last year without a single top 100 player kek
>>76692085
Del Potro is a top player when he's uninjured though, regardless of his ranking
>>76692027

>>76693398
How do you appear in the finals but not finish in the top two? What sport is that?
>>76693592

Finals meaning the actual tournament
Remember we have to qualify for it rather than just handing out passes like sweets
>>76693612

against teams like san marino, vatican city and faroe islands
wow, it's not like always the same teams qualify anyways
>>76693623
Granted now it is piss easy with 3rd place teams in qualifying making it in but in years gone by it was a challenge when it was only 4 or 8 teams there
