Yeah, pretty bad return for Team Australia on the face of it, although I think there are more positives to look at with Kokkanakis than negatives. Kyrgios getting flak but clearly injured coming in. Tomic's having a terrible year to date, don't really expect too much from this show pony going forward.

No Aussie men in the 2nd rd of Wimbledon,last time this occurred was 2012.
Goodness me Lopez just retired.

Yes it is a disastrous effort by Australia but they are still alive in Davis Cup. Suddenly Australia is looking very weak and you have to point a finger at Hewitt and wonder if he's pushing too hard. It's got to be annoying for the Aussies to have Hewitt constantly hovering around. It appears Tomic totally has blanked Hewitt though they were together at US Open last year. Hewitt has got to be pulling his hairs out with all the talent he has to work with they are all underachieving in one way or another. It seems current outside top ten players just don't respond well to legends.

Moxie, Fair enough. I'll watch Nadal more carefully, but regarding Venus, she did kill someone in a car accident. Witnesses said she went through a red light. This happened July 9th, enough time to get over it or let the process proceed, perhaps? but I'm just saying, I don't think she should play pro tennis until this matter is resolved. I know that sounds harsh and it's very unfortunate, but that's the way I feel.
Another way to say it is that someone died in a car accident she was involved in. They are called "accidents" for a reason. We don't know the details, so it's unfair to convict her in the court of public opinion. I also think it's unfair to judge her choice to continue working. In the face of tragedy, many people find comfort in work.

you are just grossly unfair as shown above, always willing to twist and say anything for someone you support. maybe that's your nature, but you should be mortified for calling others 'unfair'.
