After the 5 setter yesterday, both Murray and Del Potro decided to play in doubles today.

DelPo and Murray are idiots for playing doubles well DelPo anyway they might be needed for those deciding matches.

With the Lopez boys playing the middle doubles, Spain has a good chances of recapturing the Cup in 2017

Delpo is not playing the deciding last match now as he is tired. L. Meyer is playing KYle Edmund and whoever wins this match wins the tie. Since Kyle did well recently in USO, he may pull it off. Bad decision by JMDP to play in doubles.

Being up 2 matches after the 1st day was absolutely the silliest and stupid thing to have done putting him in there for a doubles match they couldn't win! The Captain should be fired! He put the TIE and Del Po's return in jeopardy overplaying him like that! He went 5 sets for GAWD-sake and some dragged on for an hour or more! :nono uzzled :cover

End does not justify the means. They should have played it safe and preserved JMDP for a tie deciding final match. Glad that Argentina won though. Go Argentina in the finals. Nalby tried several times, but could not win it. JMDP might get it done.

I knew that Rafa went to play the doubles. He knew that Feli and Ferru anyway would win both matches and he decided to play the doubles with Marc, smart decision!

This was great shot!

This makes it look even worse. Rafa goes all the way to India to play in some low level DC tie and that too in doubles. :cover

 

[isabelle]

Congrats to Argies, they were fantastic and deserve to win DC 2017

Eh, I mean Murray went to Serbia and didn't even play- I think that at this stage of their careers they are both in the "giving back" stage of their career. Not to mention they probably enjoy the camaraderie after so long of being on the tour in an individual sport.

I'm very excited for the final- both remaining teams are very motivated, which should make for a really good tie.

It is interesting that the German Tennis Federation (DTB) suspended Dustin Brown, Mischa Zvereve, and Tobias Kamke for not playing Davis cup this past weekend, but conveniently didn't suspend Alexander Zverev.

Both Zverevs skipped DC to play in the St. Petersburg tournament this week, with the only real difference being that Mischa had to play over the weekend to qualify while Alexander did not. I guess that is the reason the DTB will quote for why they didn't suspend the younger Zverev, but I think it is much more likely that they didn't want to bite the hand that they hope will feed them in years to come. All in all, it seems like an interesting political move- kind of a warning shot across the bow for Sascha.

Hypocrisy and double standards have been part of the game for as long as I can remember! It all depends on where you're ranked and how important a player is to their country or even the tournament at the time! McEnroe should have been suspended or disqualified many times before they actually did it in Australia back in 1990! Same for Connors; waiting until he was passed it before actually taking a stand! :nono :angel: :dodgy: :cover

So what is Dustin Brown suspended from doing,what playing tennis this month in Germany! Who cares

Suspended from competing in the Davis cup in 2017. It is kind of cyclical- they didn't want to play it, so we're suspending them so they can't play in it. The interesting part is that they didn't include Sascha in the suspension, but are making the point that they can if they want to for the Davis Cup or the Olympics if he wants to play them in the future.
