What a tremendous victory for the US Davis Cup team! Some questioned Captain Courier's wisdom in putting Mardy Fish back on the court in the doubles after pulling off a compelling 9-7 in the fifth, 5-hour, comeback win against Stan Wawrinka yesterday in Fribourg.
I got up a little late this morning and went to check the progress of the Davis Cup. First I signed on to the Davis Cup site to see the progress of the matches around the world. BTW, the Davis Cup site is great for giving you up to date, live statistics of all the matches around the world.
The suspense and drama built as the match went on and the level of play actually improved when it seemed they should barely have been able to stand - Detailed description of the epic match...
We've seen some phenomenal tennis the last couple of days and nights from Australia. This second week of the Australian Open has been one of the best ever.
