Davis Cup 2015

[Bumpswithagrin]

Rosol is on fire to start the match

Was the same against Kokkinakis, hopefully he runs out of steam like he did in that match.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

For all the noise they are making there seems to be a lot of empty seats.

 

[SK_MD_#7]

Todd. Hahahahah

 

[Andronicus]

That was awkward.

 

[pepsi]

Calm down Todd.

 

[pepsi]

Played a great tb did Tomic. Rosol played a very solid set and still couldn't win it. Good sign for Bernie.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Todd. Hahahahah

That was hilarious Saw it coming when he said three set points at 5-3.

Tomic is very good in tiebreakers, wins many more than he loses I'm sure.

 

[pepsi]

Great set from Tomic. Really controlled it apart from one slip up getting broken, dictating points and Rosol is a bit lost with his game now. One more set. Kazakh-Italy match locked in the 5th set in the deciding rubber.

 

[gcsportsfan12]

1 more set for Tomic to clinch the tie and overtake NK in the rankings for the time being

How many ranking points do you earn per singles match won in the DC?

 

[gcsportsfan12]

40 I think, so Tomic if he wins this will have 1150 points vs NK's 1135

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Hope Bernie can take this out, don't want Thanasi to have the pressure of winning the decider, he's done his job already I reckon. Things looking pretty good at the moment

I'd assume Hewitt might get the call up if that was the case

I actually think Kokkinakis would be the better option just prefer him not to have the pressure. Tomic being the better player ought to get the job done.

 

[Big Tezza]

It would take quite the effort for Bernie to lose in 5 here, so I think we're good. Although if it got to a live fifth rubber, I'd prefer the experience of Hewitt I think.

 

[gcsportsfan12]

Seems to injured his leg or something...needs to get it done in 3.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Bye the way, that group of older supporters, I heard Todd refer to them at the beginning of the telecast as The Legends of the Davis Cup group or some such, whatever that means.

 

[Elder van Berlo]

Kazakhstan awaits if we get through this (not counting any chickens...)

Has the draw for home ground been made in advance or would it happen some time later?

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Has been determined already, if we get through we will play them at home.

 

[Andronicus]

What's the score now?

 

[pepsi]

What's the score now?

Tiebreak.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Is Bernie rushing this cos he has a niggle?

 

[juice t]

Bravo

 

[pepsi]

That was a very impressive performance from Bernie. Not just today, but Friday as well. Did not lose a set. Well done boys, now for the Kazakhs. Hope it is in Victoria, haven't been to a DC tie before.

Great work Tomic and Kokkinakis in that opening rubber, coming back from the brink and putting us in a great position.

Tomic wins
