Switzerland played facepalm tennis throughout. Fair play Isner, Fish though. Not long before the serve giant is US #1.

does the captain really have much of a role in davis cup?

Haha I wasn't saying Courier had a role. I just reckon he looks awesome sitting on the sidelines showing very little emotion in a suit, whilst the Swiss captain, Severin Lüthi, is in a tracksuit and trying to fire up his team.

ok got it...

I do think the USA can go all the way to the final and maybe even win.

They may struggle to beat a Serbia with Novak or Spain with Rafa, but its not impossible.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

France up next. They should pick Mahut for the first day's singles, tire out Isner.

Meanwhile in Holland, the Wook beats the Dolg.

Delpooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Was paying 2.25 tonight pre-match vs. Berdickwad, but I didn't get on. Dang.

Anyway won the first set and all over the Czech right now.

 

[Jono]

Lol, if Davydenko doesn't beat Fed here he may actually commit suicide.

Had him dead and buried.

 

[Anil]

well done roger! now you need to prove that you can still beat rafa and novak as well!

 

[Jono]

Stayed up and watched him beat JMDP. He played sooooooooooooo much better than he did vs. Niemenen and Davydenko.

Hasn't he proven this on indoor hard courts? Federer is in better form than Nadal right now.

 

[Jono]

Guessing Anil means in Slams.

 

[ohtani's jacket]

Even there he's the only one who's beaten Novak in recent times. Really, that's like asking for Federer to be the number one player in the world again. If he wins another Grand Slam without playing Nadal or Djokovic it will be just as satisfying.

 

[Jono]

Yeah fair call.

In the meantime:

Defends his San Jose title. WAFG

 

[Magrat Garlick]

ATP Marseille (indoor hard): Albano Olivetti (ranked 388 and sharing his surname with a typewriter company) defeated Mardy Fish 63 36 63.

Nothing as funny as American careers going haywire

My message to Clapo when he asked me to join the Aus Open tipping comp.

Hey mate, I'm going on holidays in a few days, so I'll give it a miss this time. Djokovic and Azarenka to win.

 

[_Ed_]

Erakovic through to her first WTA tournament final! Really strong week for her in Memphis. Hope she can take the title tomorrow.

 

[TumTum]

This is Raonic's favourite part of year, still good to see him going strongly.


Tomic really needs to get some wins before clay season.


And how good is Barty, killing everyone in Aussie challengers! Only 15 too.

 

[Jono]

Melzer beating Isner and later Raonic on his way to the Memphis title no mean feat.

Same with JMDP beating Tsonga in France

 

[Anil]

Guessing Anil means in Slams.

yes...i meant in matches that really matter...i guess that mostly refers to slams as far as these guys are concerned...
