Davis Cup 2017

[vaughany]

For anyone interested BeIn Sports has davis cup coverage japan v france on at the moment with gasquet up 2 sets to love in the 1st match

Cool, seems like the Beln channel might be the new home to watch tennis.

They ended up giving away a bunch of tickets to tennis clubs, that's how I went today. Clearly someone stuffed up witht he pricing.

Great win by Thommo, Vesley was awful but not easy to come out and win so easily for him. Nick was about 10 levels ahead as expected.

I spent about half an hr on google not finding much apart from bein sports having davis cup rights for a couple of years i guess due to the lack of channels we have in Australia for bein sports we havent seen it until now, think if memory serves me right they have something like 10 or 12 bein channels in the middle east ( saw this on one of the locally produced programs over there that was on tv here) still any tennis on tv is a good thing

Fairly sure ESPN still covering the mens tournaments

Does anyone know what davis cup prices have being in Australia in previous years

Good wins by both our boys today. We should crunch them in the doubles tomorrow and it will be all over red rover.

Stepanek has won doubles grand slams. If the other guy can hold a racquet it shouldn't be a complete walkover.

 

[JackNah_8]

Exactly, Radek is a good doubles player we shouldn't discredit him though I don't know much about his doubles partner

Edit: Vesely might be playing doubles tomorrow

Canada v great britain is on 7am on bein sports, would be a good one to watch if raonic was playing, im tipping great britain to win that tie

 

[danstar]

Finding myself cheering for canada hopeing they can upset britian always good seeing brits get knocked out of something early

 

[danstar]

Canada lost first rubber

Vasek pospisil is playing kyle edmund in the 2nd

Pospisil just won the 1st 6-4

Both brits in the singles are ranked higher than the brits so will be tough slog but would love to see the brits out

Just looked at the USA and Switzerland teams. Looks like we will be playing the USA again in the next round (assuming we will get through this one).

 

[matt_897]

Interesting with our tie if Czechs can get the dubs today, there is rain forecast for the next two days....

Watching a bit of teh Canada/GB tie this morning, and edmund looks like he has lost any form he had

 

[JackNah_8]

Straight sets win

Yep, saw that too, need to wrap it up today

Looking at all the other matches I can't believe how many of the top players are not playing. I think it was a mistake to schedule it so soon after the Australian Open.

 

[JackNah_8]

Radek isn't playing today, odd pick

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Radek isn't playing today, odd pick

Think they said on the TV just now he is injured.

I missed that part. Well this helps us.

 

[Demosthenes]

Disappointing Stepanek isn't playing, was really looking forward to this doubles rubber.

We will struggle to beat the US away I think.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

First set to us - GO AUSSIES!

 

[JackNah_8]

The Czech team really need Radek out there playing doubles

 

[Amazing Bombers]

I believe it will still be at home even though we played them at Kooyong last time.

 

[Demosthenes]

Nope. We played the US at Kooyong last year, so it's their turn to host.

 

[JackNah_8]

Melter are you watching the Davis Cup?

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I believe it will still be at home even though we played them at Kooyong last time.

Why do you think that? Hosting is alternated, we hosted them last time so their turn to host.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Nope. We played the US at Kooyong last year, so it's their turn to host.

Ah, sorry if I was wrong. I was confused because this says that before last tie that US played at home against us 2 ties in a row.
