I was keeping tabs on the Delpo - Cilic match, and when I saw Delpo had managed to win the 3rd set, I felt certain he would go on to win. Cilic and Delpo might both be one slam wonders, but Delpo is a different beastie entirely. When it's a big match you just know he's going to bring the fire. Cilic I'm not so sure about. If he gets hot then he has a chance, but when your balls are on the line? Nah...

Cilic ought to be tired of letting his opponents come from behind down two sets to love. I saw on the graphic that he has 79 errors! That is ridiculous.

I agree with this. I was only vaguely checking on scores, and I was impressed that Delpo pulled it off, but I do think your assessment of the two is right. Now, Karlovic v. Delbonis. I'll be very impressed if Delbonis wins, because it takes a lot of concentration to beat a big server like Dr. Evil.

 

[Federberg]

I'm torn in this match now. On the one hand, Delpo has been trying to win this for years. On the other hand Ivo has nothing else to his name. I wouldn't begrudge him this glory. On balance I'll go with Argentina

 

[Federberg]

Hugely impressive performance by Delbonis. Big time tennis!

 

[Moxie]

I haven't seen anything, but glad to hear of Delbonis. Will he get a "Davis Cup bump" early next year? And JMDP has done well by his country this year...he may bring a lot of confidence to the new season, if his body is ready for it. Congratulations to Argentina! Talk about getting a monkey off your back....
