This Niveau suits you very well.
Nothing else left for „smart“ Novak hater , you seem to be the goat of them.

Missing it! Not on TCC here in the States! Maybe I'll catch video on You Tube later! Not that important to me; esp. with the ATP Cup immenent!

Understandable. It still has some patriotic value.
Nole played some solid level and made quick work against Novak and Struff. They lost a nail biter doubles match yesterday against the Krauts.

 

[Andy22]

Hopefully Goat Djokovic will play the Australian Open the event is way worse without him.

Moxie and Carol if you are around,

40 year old Feli Lopez playing singles for Spain against 'he who has the best hair in tennis' won in 3 sets,26 63 64.
Even though I had a 'wonky stream',Feli at the net was outstanding!

Spain 1-0 Russia.

Thanks for that update. Man, Feliciano is handsome AND ageless. Of course, the are playing in Madrid. Not only can we not watch, the Davis Cup website is abysmal for information, and ATP won't report it because it's not their event.

So, how did they lose? I honestly don't understand the DC website at all.

They lost in the doubles,in 3 sets.

Is this a 'trick question'

Is this a 'trick question'

Look at the columns. They show "no" losses in one column, but a loss in another. Start at the Top: Russia: Played 2, won 2, then in the W/L column, 5-1. WTF? And it goes on from there. Also, I was looking at live scores today, on their website, and they had a "Tiafoe, Alpha Frances" playing a match today. Someone tell me where else Frances Tiafoe's first name has ever been recorded as "Alpha?" It's just completely weird, and incomprehensible, and they really don't try to make it user-friendly. I can't see who played whom, nor how anyone really did.

It is a complete mess....agree cannot see who played whom etc,you would think they could at least put the players names for starters and the scores.,it does come down to total scores and losses in each group which country goes forward.

You posted something earlier about Kosmos and the 5-year deal with (UAE? I don't remember.) But I do think they are going to kill Davis Cup, if they haven't already. I don't really understand what's going on, and I'd appreciate if you could explain, to whatever extent you understand. What they've done to Davis Cup seems neutered and uninteresting. Davis Cup had a long and storied tradition. Now it seems to have been taken over by a corporate entity, and even their own website can't be bothered to care.

There is a strong indication that the ITF will approve a move for the Davis Cup Kosmos owns the rights suffered losses.Kosmos is expected to move it to Abu Dhabi which hardly has any tennis background.Many feel strongly it will be the continued ruination of Davis Cup

It sounds like it will be, to me. I think they've already ruined it.

Agree it is already ruined,sad to see.They should have let the winning format alone and players could play at their home country and their fans.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Apparently next Sunday there will be a presentation by Kosmos and the ITF to announce the 'Final Destination" for the next Davis Cup final.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Italy are in deep trouble lost the 1st rubber and Cilic has taken the first set over Sinner..63.Cilic has really out played Sinner in the first set.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Cilic was serving for the match and Sinner broke back going to a TB for the 2nd set.....Jannik wake up
Thank you Jannik for listening he wins the 2nd set...crowd have gone bonkers.Going to a decider.
Italy needs to win the singles,to have any chance,though Croatia have a great doubles team if they play doubles,to me Croatia will win.
