Yeah agree.

Does anyone know who has home court advantage in the Davis Cup final - Switzerland or France? Reckon court surface will be important.

France. I'm trying to make plans to go.

Ruling out an almighty Swiss choke then?

The only way they choke is if Fed doesn't play.

Good point, although relying on 2010s RF...

Although Fognini will never convert so. Should be fine.

That's awesome! Reckon it will be a great final.

Good point on counting chickens etc. But a Swiss loss from here would be extraordinary.

Just realised Novak and Rafa both have a Davis Cup, but Fed doesn't. This is surely his best chance.

But yeah, is a big part of why I'm keen to go. Let's hope this week's France show up and not the normal version, too.

Apparently Switzerland have requested a neutral surface.

Love it.

Kiwininja to sue for intellectual infringement.

Straight sets win for Federer, anticlimactic.

Rumours are final will be in Lille, which'd be pretty perfect for me.

La Monf gonna Monf.

Great Britain drawn against USA in the First Round of next years Davis Cup. Our chances depend entirely on Andy Murray. By then Scotland might be entering their own team.

Gnarly retires.

Li Na was certainly a great character of court, and after matches. Never much enjoyed watching her play though. Yet shame to see her go, will be interesting to see what she does now.

Barty gives it away indefinitely too, which is a bit of a shocker, first high-profile burn out since Vaidisova perhaps? Who coincidently at the age of 25 has made a come-back this way. Vimes will be pleased I know how he likes tall ball-bashing blonde Eastern Europeans.

Oh and Capriati is hinting about a comeback, interesting times

Muzzard saves match points to win the coveted Shenzhen 250 tournament.

Masha making Ana her bitch ATM, revenge for Cinci? Or can Ana come back, needs a MTO I reckon.
