Davis Cup 2015

[Bumpswithagrin]

Between games I can accept, but between every ******* point? And they just sound shit

One of their little 'tunes' sounds like bananas in pyjamas, you can guess what I had stuck in my head all day today

A strange thing I have noticed re the crowd... They keep showing a group of Australian supporters, did anyone else notice they all appear to be pensioner age?

I noticed that as well. They're probably on some extended European river cruise and have decided to spend the weekend in Ostrava supporting the Aussies. Good on them.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

I know Stepanek is injured, but did the Czechs think that they could beat us anyway without Berdych? Don't quite understand why he didn't play

Cos he's a self interested, mentally soft flog

The moron from the fanatics with the unwashed captain's hat, singlet and fluro zinc is there. Even though its indoors in the middle of winter.

How does his parents afford all this?

And I wish there was some way of turning off 'Fitzy's' commentary. Thinks he's an Einstein of the game and has this need to try and prove it to the listeners by micro-analysing every f***ing point with this fake deep voice he puts on. And every second sentences ends with "doesn't it?" or "isn't it?" Such an awful commentator.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Fell asleep, how did we lose the second set?

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Yes, third set - COME ON!!!!!!

 

[Hawkas1988]

Gone to sh*t now unfortunately

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

B#gger, was not expecting that

 

[gcsportsfan12]

Hewitt seems to lose every 5 set match he plays...

I think Hewitt used to and may still cover them financially, the aussie players love the fanatics

 

[Beavis07]

Hopefully Tomic gets the job done as it's tough to feel overly confident about our fifth rubber. Hewitt has the experience but his form is very sketchy. Kokkinakis showed he will probably handle the pressure of a deciding rubber but then again Rosol was far too good for him until he choked away that third set and Vesely is a step-up at the moment. Don't know if Groth would handle the pressure of a deciding rubber. I would personally settle for Kokkinakis but it's tough to see him getting the win against Vesely unless it goes the distance. In saying that it's also very tough to see Rosol getting past Tomic so it should be all good.

Went to sleep halfway through the second set as we were cruising...what the?

 

[Hamingja]

Needed more Gooch to carry Hewitt in the doubles

 

[pepsi]

That photo is a good one. Only watched the first 2 sets last night, disappointed we couldn't get the win. A lot of pressure on Tomic tonight, but can't wait to watch it tonight. Coverage starts at 11:30pm.

And I wish there was some way of turning off 'Fitzy's' commentary.

At least he acknowledged (eventually) that Pavlásek was playing his ever 1st DC match (just like Sam Groth was) after dumping on him for the 1st 2 sets for poor play.

Um Sam Groth wasnt playing his first ever DC match

 

[Alesana]

Um Sam Groth wasnt playing his first ever DC match

His first 'live' match

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Whats happened to Gooch?

Groth made so many woeful errors last night.

Sure he has a massive first serve, but his second serve is diabolical at this level.

 

[matt_897]

Have work at 5am tomorrow morning, really nice if I could of got some sleep, thanks Grothy and hewitt.

 

[Hamingja]

We need Bernie to close it out tonight first before thinking ahead too much but in the other tie Kukushkin has just beaten Seppi in straights to level it at 2-2. Bolelli v. Golubev to decide it.

 

[Hamingja]

The 5th tie in that match up becomes Fognini v. Nedovyesov.

Subbing the Fog in for a deciding tie is the tennis version of russian roulette. Would take his best to lose to that bloke though.

To the victors, the spoils! Hopefully it's only temporary though.

Not sure what happened in that doubles match, we seemed to really drop off after the first set and a bit, and the Czechs pounced! Surprised Groth wasn't winning more points off his serve and serving more aces, maybe the courts?

Looking forward to tonight's matches but in reality not sure how much of them I will actually end up seeing

 

[gcsportsfan12]

Rosol is on fire to start the match

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Can Hewitt play the 5th rubber if its live? His experience would surely be taken into account if so
