Haas trails Năstase 4-2, 1-4, 1-3

Just a slight rule amendment: everyone can vote in the final set of a match.

I think I'll personally only vote in one battle per match, regardless of sets.

Can Haas come back? Does he have it in him!

All the Tommy Haas drama and he's out first round. His video game legacy wasn't enough :(

Kramer and Trabert.

Trabert is the only one I've heard of, but Kramer's record seems pretty damn good.

Vines, would of won many more slams if he hadn't turned pro, I'd guess.

Trabert

I remember Yanick, always more famous as a *** symbol then a player, if i remember rightly.

Kramer and Trabert.

I thought this should be mentioned about Yannick Noah:

"Noah played on France's Davis Cup team for eleven years, with an overall win-loss record of 39-22 (26-15 in singles, and in 13-7 doubles). In 1982, he was part of the French team which reached the Davis Cup final, where they were defeated 4–1 by the United States.

Nine years later, in 1991, Noah captained the French team which won the Davis Cup for first time in 59 years, defeating a heavily-favoured US team 3–1 in the final. This feat was repeated in 1996, when France defeated Sweden 3–2 in the final held in Malmö.

In 1997, Noah captained France's Fed Cup team to its first-ever victory in that competition."
