Arghavaneh Rezai Thread (Australian open and beyound)

[gol_kuchik]

First to our great admins: Because we have made exceptions for the
few true Iranian champs in sports other than football in the football
forum, (For instance Iran's boys Volleyball team success at world stage,
as well as Iran's Basketball team success in Asia both were celebrated
in the football forum)

Here with all of your permission, I would like to ask for exception for Arghavneh, our only tennis player currently ranked in the top 50 (men or women) for what I think will be a break through season and source of pride for us Iranian.

As importantly, it will show the true potentials of our women athlete, if
they are given a fair chance to compete along with the proper training.

Arghavenh has been steadily improving since 2006 when she joined the
ATP. She has risen in ranking to a current 24th in the world (26 in
the Australian seeding). She has already made it to 4th round of
both U.S and French open, and hopefully she can make it to the Quarters
or who knows?

In her last game against Serena (arguably the best Women's player) just
couple of days ago she lost 6-3, 5-7, 4-6 ! (but missed on one chance to put the game away in the second set).

At any rate, with so little to be excited about in football, I hope we can dedicate this one thread for Arghavneh in football forum, to track her in Australian open starting tomorrow and hopefully beyond.

She has actually represented Iran in the past. But she is not part of
French wemen Davis cup. So I am not sure what you mean.

She is born of Iranian parents, speaks fluent Persian (even though
she was born in France), and as I said, she represented Iran in Asian
tennis games.

Not so fast. This video was posted more than 7 months ago and it is
unclear when it was originally recorded. (before or after coup).

^so it's ok to support AN as long as it is before?

[shayan20]

few days ago he was about to beat the number one seed serena williams she was leading 5-2 having won the firt set and was serving for the match but she chocked. I hope she has a great aussie open.

You can tell for yourself what is ok and not, but:

1-I can not call someone a traitor based on 37 sec video, without
date and context.

2-As much as I disliked Ahmadi Nejad even before election, there is a difference between him before and after coup. Prior to the
election he had not committed the crimes he has done since.

So if Arghavneh, today, after all that has happened still believes Ahmadi Nejad
to be a leader whom she is proud of, then I would not support her.

As far as I can remember, in every major tournament that she has played (i.e. the big four, US, Ausise, French opens and Wibeldon), she has always played under French flag.

Just in case, here is the link to her WTA profile:
