The ranking of Bossel who played for Swiss in doubles is outside the top 1000.
... and mind you we are not even talking about his singles ranking here, it is his doubles
ranking that is outside of 1000.

His partner's doubles ranking was 765.

Tv guy asks Popsicle how he feels about his chances if it comes down to the 5th. rubber, Vasek answers" Well, I am fine, this was recovery day for me..." :lolz:
It was a classic Vasek reply!

I watched Nestor live when he was playing at Apia International,Sydney earlier this year,he has always been one of my favorite doubles players,a really nice guy both on and off the court,his serve was great there to when it mattered,he also is a good solid volley player.

Impressive results by Kukushkin. After he straight setted Bolelli in the first day, he just did the same thing against Seppi.
Kazakhstan is now 2-2 with Italy the decider will be:
Golubev - Bolelli

As expected Nole will not play today. He already left Kraljevo. Much larger fish to fry next for him.

Wow. Italy really embarrassing themselves here. Total disaster if they end up losing this.

When I watch Murray struggling with his serve like this I wonder how he ever won 2 slams!

And despite that weak 2nd serve, it just highlights how bad Isner is that he couldn't put any of the 2nd serve returns away, especially on SP. :cover

There's something that isn't very likeable about Isner. Haven't a clue what it is. But I find myself not really feeling sympathy for him

Maybe it's how terrible he is. He is a serve and that's it. Nothing even remotely pretty about his game.

For the deciding rubber, is not Golubev vs. Bolelli as previously planned.
They have been replaced by Nedovyesov and Fognini.
And I just heard that Nedovyesov pulled the upset and defeated Fabio.
So Kazakhstan goes thrugh!

And Australia kicks out Czech Republic! Berdych won't have to worry about the Davis Cup this year I guess.

True. His grim demeanour doesn't help though! You can at least sense that Karlovic has an interesting personality
