Tsitsipas won 7-5, 6-7, 6-4 and 6-3 and will now meet Thiem (no surprise there either) in R2.

Maria Sakkari saw Mandy Minella from Luxembourg popping out as her opponent at the draw. Minella has a protected status (rank #301) as she gave birth to a daughter last October. She normally wasn’t allowed to take even part at the qualifiers with that ranking.

Tsitsipas will face Carlos Taberner from Spain in the first round. Tsitsipas is considered favourite as he is ranked #40 and his opponent #194. #7 seed Austrian Dominic Thiem should normally be the next opponent for the winner of the tie between Tsitsipas and Taberner.

Warda is in the 29-man preliminary squad of Egypt.

Prijovic is pre-selected by the Serbia-coach for the 2018 WC. He is just one of three attackers that got a call-up. Have to mention that the current squad is 27 players. 4 must be cutted. Normally he will go to Russia, unless their coach has a 6-4-0 line-up in mind.

You dare to doubt the legal apparatus of SL/EPO? Of course ours were worse. Just like the 2017-final, where we were proven worse and got that deserved bigger ban than AEX.

Anorthosis might be the next stop for Glykos.

We don’t need Srna if it is for SL. We are strong enough without him. In Europe his experience could be interesting, but then again the man is 36. Plus: He is suspended till August 22nd. So he would only be available in PO of CL or EL. If we still are in CL this means he can only play the first leg if this is played on a Wednesday. But without a good preseason (the man is allowed to start training June 22nd) he will lack game-fitness as he won’t play from the end of July when our season starts with the European matches and Lucescu builds his team just to be prepared for these games.

A sad day. The great Harry Klynn passed away today at the age of 78. Kalo Paradiso! And thank you for all those moments you made me laugh.

Hernani, a 24 year old defensive midfielder, is also at our radar. He has a contract with Zenit Leningrad (don’t like the “new name” St. Petersburg) but was playing this year as a loanee at French club St. Etienne.

We ended as #49 as Marseille overtook us thanks to their good run till the final of EL. Next year we start at #59 with 20.500 points after the 13/14-season is skipped.

Pontus Wernbloom (31 year old midfielder, 51 caps for Sweden) of CSKA Moscow is at our radar. He is at his end of his contract with the Russians, so no fee needed. Liked him very much when he played here for AZ Alkmaar.

Good news. Especially because we won't go to Chalkidiki this year.

And here is the evidence when I checked this: http://dailycannon.com/2018/03/cska-moscow-one-of-just-five-teams-wenger-has-faced-twice-or-more-without-beating/ CSKA Moscow was cut from the list after this years Quarterfinal in EL (4-1 and 2-2; Arsenal to the semis with 6-3 agg.).

Yesterday the Dutch reporter talked about a fact I did not know about PAOK: We are just one of the four (4!) teams Arsenal played more than once and failed to beat in the Wenger-era. Do you know some other trivia about our club? Share them in this topic!

Nope. Normally you see some replay. Not now as things escalated a bit.

We dominated them. Players now with Savvidis-mask

First good thing Prijovic did today.

PELKAS!!!

Good save Paschalakis
