Editors Note : This is why we love Davis Cup. Look @ the countries large and small ( rich and poor) that all have opportunities and via that you have growth for the game or is it a sport? Whatever we sure thank BNP Paribas. And just to mention it again. We often wonder if 3/5 sets makes sense or 2/3. But we feel strongly that the team that has given blood , sweat and tears thru 11 months of the year. Should keep the trophy in their country and enjoy it. Their defense should be as the next years finalists. They should get the ultimate BYE. LJ
