Like others have said, Sock can take over the Byran Brothers.

When do single day tickets go on sale?

Trying to find out as well. Very surprising they aren't available yet as the tie is only three weeks away.
If series tickets are $150ea do you reckon they will make single day tickets $50ea? Or will they bump up the price a bit?

who the hell knows. u reckon it would be based on preexisting ticket sales. if they dont have many left, they will charge more probably. (im a cynical for thinking that)

sounds like they havent even sent the tickets to people yet.

Nothing there about single day tickets, all three day packages.

 

[JackNah_8]

Does that mean we have to buy a package? I am confused

I thought that was the case but others have posted that day tickets are to become available at some point so I'm not sure (I have access to free tickets so doesn't affect me).

ah ok, so I am assuming they will release the single tickets at a later stage.

 

[BobbyMorri]

i am only going by what happened in the Fed Cup a couple of years ago in Hobart. and they were nearly as expensive as series tickets IIRC, but the stadium was at near capacity.

I dont think the organizers know if they will release single day tickets.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Are we expecting to win the doubles in this tie or just going all out to win at least three of the singles?

 

[nobbyiscool]

Given the hole in the doubles combination, given Kyrgios is pulling out of tournaments, and given their pre-existing relationship, is there any chance that Kyrgios doesn't play singles, and he teams up with Jasika in the doubles? Then we just go with Tomic and Grothe in the singles?

I have a question about tickets - from what I can see at the moment they're only selling 3 day packages. Surely this is only temporary? They're moving as many 3-day packages as they can and will sell single day seats as we get closer?

 

[ozgamer]

Groth shouldn't be considered for anything until he starts winning matches.

 

[pepsi]

Any chance Hewitt can play in the doubles?

Free tickets- nice!

I would suggest that this is looking like the most likely option to be honest.

 

[JackNah_8]

Groth shouldn't be considered for anything until he starts winning matches.

This guy is one average player that has a big serve to win him a few points.

Might happen. Bryan Brothers are in bad touch and doubles is a lot easier to get an upset.

Long story as to why but basically have access to a couple of really good seats for anything at Kooyong, which is why I was rapt when it was announced this would be played there

Hewitt and whoever else that selects the team must be tearing their hair out. Apart from Nick and Bernie I can't see who the obvious players are to fill the other spots (and that's assuming Nick will be fit). Don't think they would be considering Jasika though surely.

 

[matt_897]

I remember the Fed Cup in Glen Iris a few years back and you had to buy a series package, so I'm hoping that won't be the case. Can only go the Friday, so I'm waiting to see if they release them because I really would like to go and don't really want to spend $150 for a day.

Awesome, just yell out if you have spare tickets to sell.
Lower deck aren't available on the series ticket, hopefully lower becomes available when single day tickets are released.
Yeah agree till too early for Jasika.
The doubles situation is getting awkward, nearly have to rule Groth out. If Peers is on the outer than Hewitt has to play himself.
Other options bring Guccione back from the wilderness or take a punt on Bolt?

• • Sam Groth
  • Bernard Tomic
  • Nick Kyrgios
  • Thanasi
    Kokkinakis
  • Lleyton Hewitt
    CAPTAIN

Can you provide a link? I can't find this on their website. Can't be right anyway as we know Kokkinakis has been ruled out.

Edit: Found it here

Guccione (is he even around?) and Groth doubles.

Kyrgios and Tomic singles.

The Gooch is playing doubles with Tomic at Delray Beach this week, should we read anything into this?

 

[Hamingja]

Lleyton wouldn't, would he

I'd be more worried if he was playing with Groth tbh. Those two actually did well together on the tour in doubles.

Interesting that they play Querrey and Johnson. The yanks might be experimenting there too.
