2014 Davis Cup

[kskate2]

sloppy game from Andy, back on serve 3-3

 

[kskate2]

Andy lets the crowd get in his head and drops 5 straight games. Fog takes the opener 6-3

 

[kskate2]

After some marathon games, F3 finally gets the break in the 2nd 4-3

 

[kskate2]

Andy is off the rails, DF's the set away. GBR down 2 sets.

I can't believe Andy Murray is winning clay court Matches against players who really are clay court players!

Seppi is not a clay court player, he is an all court player. He has won 1 title on each surface: Clay, Hard and grass.
His runner up results are equally spread among all surfaces.

 

[kskate2]

Andy goes down in straights. Fog just wore him down on the clay. We will have a live 5th rubber in Italia.

 

[Rose]

I didn't think Andy would win against The Fog on clay!

 

[kskate2]

I didn't either, but it's the way he went down. Not even winning a set and really being bossed the entire match.

 

[kskate2]

Meanwhile Stan is playing a little better, but we're still heading for a 1st set breaker w/ Kush

 

[herios]

I didn't either, but it's the way he went down. Not even winning a set and really being bossed the entire match.

Fognini is a very good clay court player. He is a player who is rising and his best yet to come. Murray on another hand, is not as comfortable on clay as he is on grass or hard. I was expecting this outcome.

Wawrinka loses set 1 as expected . Watch how quickly this match ends with Kukushin winning sets 2 and 3 pretty quickly

 

[kskate2]

Stan drops the opening TB 7-4

 

[kskate2]

Stan takes the 2nd set and grabs the early break in the 3rd 2-1

 

[kskate2]

Jo Willy staves off elimination and forces a 5th live rubber. LeMonf will play Gojo

 

[tennisville]

Stan won it in the end

 

[kskate2]

Stan rights the ship and levels the tie against Kush in 4 sets. Served 25 aces and 3 DF's. Fed to play the live 5th rubber against Golubev

 

[Kieran]

It's a pity Stan won that. I was rooting for the Kazakh lad. Of these countries that are left, Italy is the most beautiful one, to me, and I hope they raise the Cup. Seems less likely now... :nono

 

[Moxie]

Monfils is playing awesome tennis in the TB 6-0…. If only he'd always play like this.

EDIT: And he won it at love. One more set and France survives after being down by 2 sets. (TV says that only 7 teams have done that ever before.)

 

[kskate2]

Seppi takes care of Ward in straights and send Italia to the DC SF's.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

The lobs Roger hit never cease to amaze me. So much feel.
