Check out some of these great EPA shots from the 2015 Davis Cup.
In this era when there are so many hot prospects to talk about -- Kyrgios, Thiem, Coric -- Jiri Vesely has tended to be forgotten. Maybe it's time that changed. At age 21, he was playing in his first-ever final -- yet he dominated his much older opponent, showing no hint of nerves.
Novak Djokovic thrashed outclassed Argentine Diego Schwartzman 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 as the No. 1 began reversing the fragile form which resulted in only two hardcourt match wins after his Wimbledon title victory in early July.
Biggest casualty of the day was 13th seed Richard Gasquet who blew a 2-set lead against talented teen Nick Kyrgios who tweeted that he’d played his heart out, but he earned his third round place saving nine match points along the way for a 3-6 6-7(4) 6-4 7-5 10-8 victory.
Andy Murray insists he is struggling to reclaim his Wimbledon winning touch after returning to the ATP World Tour from back surgery but insists the absence of coach Ivan Lendl from all but one of his tournaments this year has nothing to do with his travails.
It was right there for Jiri Vesely's taking in round three of the BNP Paribas Open on Monday afternoon. Andy Murray was in foul mood even by Andy Murray standards and his game was no better than his demeanor.
Maybe we’re spoiled. In the first year of the luxurious but also intimate Stadium 2, we expect every match in there to live up to the standard of the host building itself.
World No. 6 Tomas Berdych will lead Davis Cup by BNP Paribas title holders Czech Republic in its semifinal clash with Argentina on 13-15 September at the O2 Arena in Prague.
