today wasn't the best day for Argentina -- but STILL a good showing in general. and it's good to see delbonis adding his name with del potro as someone to watch more closely.

i enjoyed watching Mischa taking down wawrinka.

 

[teddytennisfan]

go go go MISCHA!!! YA -- he plays as a german citizen -- but that's about better opportunities.

the TALENT however is RUSSIAN - as is his brother's -- and let NO ONE FORGET THAT.

 

[teddytennisfan]

WONDERFUL showing from KEI , too

he can be very good at the net...wow1!!

I just came back to see Kei getting to the final. Mischa is up a break against Cilic. I am so impressed with older Zverev.

He's had a great few weeks. Good to see him fit and getting an extended run. Back in the Top 70. I'm sure Sascha's rise has also helped inspire him.

another USO REDUX -- hehe.
