2013 Davis Cup

[Bumpswithagrin]

Fabio Fognini is too sick with the flu to play tonight, will be replaced by Paolo Lorenzi.

EDIT: Also, Australia take a 2-0 lead as expected as Ebden wins 6-3 6-4 7-5.

Thanks Great start by the Aussies, should wrap it up tomorrow I think.

So...are we getting the Davis Cup broadcast back anytime soon? didak_4

 

[Chris_2593]

It just cut out. I hope so. Matt Fox Sports aren't showing Canada Vs Spain are they?

 

[matt_897]

Yeah, completely forget to mention the Aussie tie, doubles might be a bit tougher but it should be wrapped up anyways. A tie against Uzbekistan in the next round could be the toughest zonal tie we played yet with Istomin in the side although istomin got taken to 5 sets by a Chinese player today.

Lucky post.

Nope, I'll get it by other means (don't mention them here) Think it's the pick of the weekend and it's not at a bad time for us (8am start).

Czechs and Swiss have started. Wawrinka about to be Rosoled....

 

[Chris_2593]

Time for Melzer to retire. Losing to Korolev in straights.

By live stream?

These horns are bloody annoying.

Rosol looks so similar to Kohlschreiber.

On an unrelated note, **** vuvuzelas with a rusted burning rake. If I sat near someone using one, I would personally hold it in front of their face and snap it in half.

Time for Melzer to retire. Losing to Korolev in straights.

Losing to Greg Jones was worse Think he has certainly hit his peak though

By live stream?

Sssshhhhh... Although betting sites like bet365 should have legal live streaming

These horns are bloody annoying.

Yeah, but I know it's Davis Cup weekend when I hear those.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Roger Federer, eat your heart out. Great shot.

 

[Gee Dub]

Wow what a shot from Rosol!

 

[matt_897]

RRRRRRRROOOOOOSSSSSSSOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sick shot

 

[Gee Dub]

Looks like you can watch it live from the Davis Cup website too.

 

[matt_897]

And he still lost the set and game

Yep, although its fairly expensive given its only 4 weekends a year.

I don't mind the matches that Fox Sports show, so I'm not fussed but I guess it is an alternative.

 

[matt_897]

Results:
Belgium 0-2 Serbia
Germany 0-2 Argentina
Kazhakstan 2-0 Austria
Italy 1-1 Croatia
USA 2-0 Brazil
France 2-0 Israel
Switzerland 1-1 Czech Rep

And Canada lead Spain 1-0 after Raonic won his match in 4, they are playing the 2nd rubber now

The interesting result was Kholischreiber having to retire late in the 5th due to a pulled hamstring, supposedly he was still winning even though he couldn't even move

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Great effort by Laaksonen to take a set off Berdych too.

 

[matt_897]

Dancevic beat Granellos in straight sets by playing pretty awesome tennis, the one handed backhand is back! Canada lead 2-0 and just think we could end up playing Spain the playoffs now

 

[Chris_2593]

Love watching Dancevic when he is on. 6-1 6-2 6-2. Didn't see that coming. Why did Ferrer not play?

Just out of interest where would that tie be played if it were to happen? I can just see it now too; "Lleyton you're playing 3 rubbers mate, Marinko, I don't care if you're decent on clay and had a good year, you're not in."

So far away from it happening but it would in Spain given the last tie we played was that 2003 Davis Cup win

 

[Chris_2593]

Hewitt/Gooch won 7-6 6-4 6-2.

 

[matt_897]

Yep, looks like Uzebkastan are next
