Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga were hardly more than innocent bystanders during the first day of Davis Cup final action in Lille, France. At least Federer had an excuse, coming off a long week at the World Tour Finals that ended when he had to pull out of the title match against Novak Djokovic due to a back injury. Tsonga, on the other hand, simply got outplayed by Stan Wawrinka.
Definitely not the sort of match Roger Federer wanted as he tries to take the #1 ranking. Even though Jeremy Chardy has been fighting a foot injury, this took more than two and a half hours, and Federer blew two match points in the second set, and he hasn't yet gained any ground on Novak Djokovic, who made the third round the previous day. Jeremy Chardy will almost certainly end the year at #29 or #30.

No matter that the two 2012 U.S. Open finalists were in the same section of the bracket this time around. At the beginning of the tournament, a rematch in the quarterfinals was far from a guarantee. After all, Novak Djokovic found himself near John Isner and Philipp Kohlschreiber in the draw while Andy Murray landed in the same eighth as Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

By the looks of things, Novak Djokovic's little summer vacation is over, and he's back at work. He leaves Sam Querrey still a little below the Top Fifty -- but at least Querrey seems finally to be going in the right direction.

Here's the final installment. The draw looks very good for Federer. Djokovic, Murray, Raonic, Wawrinka and Tsonga all in the other half. Ferrer, Berdych, Monfils and Gasquet fight it out for the privilege of playing Roger in the semis after he deals with Dimitrov in the quarters.
