Xavier the MATADOR? |

Xavier the MATADOR? We hope. I can see it. I can see Xavier Malisse the artist with his magic wand. Using his skills to play with the bull. We are discussing an upcoming Davis Cup match between Spain and Belgium. And Xavier Malisse (yes he wears a 10sballs.com patch) playing the great Rafael Nadal … Affectionately known the world over as “RAFA ” … So Rafa the bull plays the XMAN…. Davis cup matches are three out of five sets….. usually you go with the younger player…. But we are going with the little country of Belgium, led by our X MAN. We know RAFA heals almost instantly? But he might still be hurting? … A little? We’ve had so many people tell us how much they love Xavier Malisse. They each have their own reasons. Mine are: if you are friends…. He is one of the truest, most loyal friends…. If X is your friend. He is your friend. It’s that simple. You never hear from him. But you know that’s him. Wherever in the world he is. He is. He is present. He might miss a few loved ones here and there. But he lives in the here and now. It’s a wonderful place to be. It means he is able to free his mind to enjoy life. Enjoy the ride. Enjoy the company he is keeping enjoy producing his beautiful stroke making, his angles … Xav has a reach of a guy twice his size. He has been working with coach Maxime Braeckman. … Hi max.

10sballs.com has watched Xavier work, train, focus on his tennis. We have witnessed the blood, sweat, and tears … Big boss was even at Wimbledon the year Xavier got into the semis (2002). X turned pro in 1998. That year he fought thru qualifying to play in his first ATP event in Philadelphia and lost to Pete Sampras 7-5 in the third. Xavier and partner Oliver Rochus won the French Open in 2004. Hello Oliver…We believe you about whatever you said that the tennis world won’t own up to ……. more another time. But greetings to the Rochus family. Greetings to the Malisse family. Greetings to the Braekman family. Good luck with “The bull” …… good luck Belgium. Good luck Belarus. Good luck USA.

Davis cup presented by BNP Paribas. Tennis is so blessed to have such a fantastic sponsor. Thank you BNP Paribas. A total of 33 ties will be played globally this weekend. Davis cup by BNP Paribas is the largest annual international competition in all of sport. In 2011,128 nations competed. It’s unreal. That’s such an amazing number. But we have to mention some of the other sponsors. …Rolex. Hugo boss. Adecco. Wilson. …..
