2011 Davis Cup

[i_hate_scams]

the commentators must be creaming themselves now

 

[Drummond]

Up a break in the second. Lleyton playing well, and this garss court is certainly catching the Swiss off gaurd. How Davis Cup should be.

Keeping a lid on it though, not even close to getting excited. Appreciating Lleyton's super effort though.

Jesus, 21 UE's from Roger, what is going on???

Jesus, 21 UE's from Roger, what is going on???

Just lulling us into a false sense of security, waiting for that moment where he goes BANG!

 

[i_hate_scams]

here comes roger!

 

[Drummond]

i hate you.

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

 

[ronnie1234]

Have a feeling Roger will blast Lleyton away in the 3rd and 4th set

 

[Drummond]

I don't care what anyone says, Hewitt's determination to get everything out of himself if an absolute credit. He's fighting like crazy out there today, as he has every time he's taken to the court throughout his career. Legend.

Respect mate.

 

[OzBomber]

Why is this being played at a local tennis club? Surely they could have played it at one of the major tennis venues in the country?

 

[kaiserchief13]

Hewitt what a dud. How about you go for some shots you pussy? The set's on the line and you play defense the whole time. You can't expect good players to miss shots you spud.

And Sydney want to host the Aus open

 

[Lemma]

Sydney can't even fill a small tennis club

 

[Caesar]

Its a Friday. Sydney typically draws better than Melbourne for DC anyway.

The reason its at the golf club is because its one of the premier grass venues in the country.

Cop that you hopeless fanatics

Some of us are TRYING to watch the tennis

Annoying Aussie Fanatics->

Its at the Royal Sydney Golf Course which is basically well all the members live in the eastern suburbs ( Vaucluse, Rose Bay Double Bay Woolarah) expensive on the water, and they never get to see any Tennis because Homebush is to far away for them and Federer never plays the Sydney event and even if he did theyd never go so basically just for them to see some of Federer and the others really and its a good court on grass.

 

[Caesar]

The location was set before anyone knew Federer would be playing.

 

[Gaffanator]

Sorry but the commentary was terrible for that Hewitt match. Newcs pretty much cheering every point Llyeton won and you could hear him tutting everytime Fed won a point. I suppose it just shows how lucky we are with Foxtel's coverage. A grade commentators for both genders, none of this bias crap, well maybe a bit for Slammin' Sam the other day.

Haha serious? Never heard Josh Eagle and Wally Massur commentate a Federer match?

It's a Davis Cup tie, that happens in every country.

Just watching the matches now but defiantely take 1-1 after the first day obivously, curious to see how Lleyton got a set off Roger.

I still would like to see how you get that statement, especially when been in zonals for a few years and being playing ties all over the place...

Nothing wrong the venue though, as you said one of the premier grass court venue in the country, just much easier to make a makeshift stadium rather put in a grass court somewhere.

 

[Caesar]

Can't find attendances archived anywhere on the web but Sydney Olympic Park and White City tend to average 6-7,000 a day for World Group DC ties. Kooyong doesn't get anywhere near that.

 

[Lemma]

What about Rod Laver?

 

[Drummond]

Ceaser with his Sydney vs Melbourne stuff again. Goodie.

 

[Lemma]

He's pissed off that Sydney don't have a GS and never will have one, when Melbourne gets the world's best players. Every. Single. Year.
